Privacy Policy

Last updated August 2026. How F1 Fan Paddock handles your data.

1. Information we collect

F1 Fan Paddock is a fan-made project. We do not require an account to browse. If you sign in, we may store your display name and preferences locally. We do not sell personal data.

2. Cookies

We use a minimal set of cookies and local storage to remember your cookie choice and your welcome-screen preference. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are used.

3. Third-party data

Standings, race results, and live timing data are provided by Jolpica-F1 and OpenF1, which are open, free public APIs. Driver headshots and team logos are served from media.formula1.com.

4. External links

Paddock stories link out to external publishers (ESPN, BBC Sport, Sky Sports). Their sites have their own privacy policies. Embedded YouTube videos are governed by Google's privacy policy.

5. Data retention

Anything stored locally on your device (cookie preferences, welcome flags) can be cleared at any time through your browser settings. We do not operate our own analytics backend.

6. Contact

Questions about this policy can be raised by opening an issue on the project repository. This policy may be updated as the site evolves.
