Last Updated: December 7, 2025

1. Introduction

Apex and Exit ("we," "our," or "the Service") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

The Service can be used without creating an account. By default, any preferences or favorites you set are stored locally in your browser's local storage and are not transmitted to our servers.

Optional Account Creation: You may choose to create an account to sync your data across devices. If you opt in by logging in to the site, we will collect and store:

  • Authentication credentials (email address or third-party authentication provider information)
  • Your favorite series and tracks
  • Your owned cars and tracks
  • Display preferences and filter settings

Account creation is entirely voluntary. If you choose not to create an account, the current local storage practices remain in effect, and no personal data is transmitted to our servers.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

We may collect anonymous usage statistics through analytics tools, which may include:

  • Pages visited and features used
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring website
  • Date and time of visits
  • Approximate geographic location (country/region level only)

This information is collected in aggregate and does not identify individual users.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Improve the Service and user experience
  • Analyze usage patterns and trends
  • Fix bugs and technical issues
  • Monitor and prevent abuse or misuse of the Service
  • Sync your favorites and preferences across devices (if you have created an account)

4. Data Storage

4.1 Local Storage (Default)

By default, the Service uses your browser's local storage to save your preferences, including:

  • Favorite series and tracks
  • Owned cars and tracks
  • Display preferences and filters

This data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

4.2 Server Storage (Optional Account)

If you choose to create an account, your favorites and preferences will be stored securely on our servers to enable synchronization across devices. We implement the following security measures:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Secure authentication mechanisms
  • Regular security updates and monitoring
  • Limited access to user data (only authorized personnel for support purposes)

Your data is never shared with third parties. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third-party organizations for marketing or any other purposes.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use minimal, privacy-respecting technologies to provide essential functionality and improve our Service. We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or cross-site data collection.

5.1 Essential Storage

Browser Local Storage: Used to store your preferences, favorites, and settings locally on your device. This is necessary for the Service to function properly.

Under GDPR Article 6(1)(f), local storage is classified as strictly necessary for the legitimate functioning of services you request and does not require explicit consent.

5.2 Analytics (No Cookies, No Consent Required)

We use Umami Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics. Umami is a privacy-focused analytics service that:

  • Does not use any cookies - Completely cookie-free tracking
  • Does not collect personally identifiable information
  • Does not track users across websites
  • Provides aggregate statistics only
  • Is GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant

No consent required: Because Umami doesn't use cookies and doesn't collect personal data, it loads automatically without requiring your consent. This allows us to improve the Service while respecting your privacy.

5.3 Managing Your Data

You can manage your stored data at any time by:

  • Clearing your browser's local storage (this will reset your preferences, favorites, and settings)
  • Using browser settings to block or delete cookies
  • Using browser extensions for enhanced privacy control

Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the Service from functioning properly.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to improve your experience:

6.1 Umami Analytics (Always Active)

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.
