Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-06-20
Redline ID ("the app") is a free, open-source utility that connects over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to a discontinued toy car race portal and shows live speed and lap times. This policy explains what the app does — and does not do — with your data.
Summary
Redline ID does not collect, transmit, or share any personal information. The app has no account, no analytics, no ads, and makes no network requests. Any data the app saves is stored only on your own device.
Data we collect
None. The app has no account system, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting, and makes no network requests. We operate no servers and never receive any data from the app.
Information stored on your device
To work — and to remember your races between sessions — the app saves the following in a private database on your device only. None of it leaves your phone, and none of it is sent to us or any third party:
- Garage — cars are recognized by the identifier their id chip broadcasts over Bluetooth, along with any nickname you give them and simple stats such as top speed and number of passes.
- Race history — race sessions and the speed and lap/timing events recorded during them, so you can review past runs.
- Achievements — which in-app achievements you have unlocked.
- Settings — your preferences, such as speed units (mph/km/h), speed calibration, and whether haptics are enabled.
- Live Bluetooth data — while connected, the app reads the car identifier, speed, and lap events broadcast by the portal hardware to drive the on-screen speedometer, race timer, and event log.
The app requests Bluetooth permission solely to communicate with the race portal. It does not use location, contacts, the camera, the microphone, or any other personal data, and it does not use Bluetooth to determine your location.
You can permanently remove all stored data at any time by deleting the app from your device.
Data sharing
We do not sell, rent, share, or disclose any data, because we never collect or receive any. All app data stays on your device.
Children's privacy
The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
