This website (pitlanef1.net) is operated by Pit Lane F1. For any privacy question, contact contact@pitlanef1.net. We act as the data controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We collect only what is needed to run the site. Specifically:
• Pseudonymous usage data via Google Analytics (pages viewed, approximate location, device type, referrer). Only set if you accept analytics in the cookie banner. • Advertising identifiers via Google AdSense when ads are enabled. Only set if you accept advertising in the cookie banner. • A language preference stored in a first-party cookie (NEXT_LOCALE) so we remember the language you chose. • Your consent choice stored locally in your browser (pitlane-consent-v2 in localStorage). We do not collect names, email addresses or any account data — the site has no login.
Analytics and advertising: your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), collected via the cookie banner and revocable at any time. Language preference: our legitimate interest in providing a usable multilingual site (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
We use a small number of processors, each bound by their own privacy terms:
• Google LLC — analytics and (once enabled) advertising. • Sanity.io — hosts the news articles you read; does not receive reader personal data. • Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany) — hosts the servers. • Jolpica and OpenF1 — public F1 data sources; they do not receive reader personal data. Some of these providers may transfer data outside the EU/EEA. Transfers rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses and/or adequacy decisions where applicable.
Analytics data is retained for up to 14 months (Google Analytics default). The language cookie expires after 1 year. Your consent choice persists in your browser until you clear it.
Under GDPR you can, at any time: access the data we hold about you, request correction or deletion, restrict or object to processing, and receive your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, email contact@pitlanef1.net. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority (CNIL, cnil.fr).
A detailed list of cookies used and how to withdraw consent is on our Cookie Policy page.
If we make material changes we will update the last-updated date at the top of this page and, where required, notify you on your next visit.
