Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
Public site features do not require registration. If you choose to use the Help ticket feature, FreeF1 receives the name, category, and message you submit; optional browser/device diagnostics are included only when you leave that option selected. Do not submit passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information.
The live presence counter uses one temporary WebSocket connection per open FreeF1 page to show an aggregate count of open site pages. The page category and selected live sessions, replay sessions and Other Streams are sent over this connection to show publicly accessible aggregate open-page counts and peaks. No visitor ID, individual viewing record or heartbeat is stored. The count reflects open site connections, not unique people or verified video viewers.
The counter is provided by Cloudflare. Cloudflare necessarily processes network and connection metadata, such as IP address, to deliver and secure the connection and may handle that data under its own policies (see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy). FreeF1 does not store individual connection records or history. Our hosting provider may also process standard request and security logs; third-party data providers and embedded video hosts receive requests from your browser under their own privacy policies.
Help tickets use a random access key stored in this browser's local storage; it is not tied to a verified identity. The ticket service stores a hash of that key and limited ticket metadata, while the ticket text and selected diagnostics are sent to a private Discord support channel. Discord and the backend/storage providers (Render and, when configured, Upstash) process data under their own policies. Clearing browser storage removes your access key and chat cache; there is no account-based recovery. Deleting a ticket in Help requests deletion of its private Discord channel and ticket metadata.
For abuse prevention, Help endpoints apply short-window rate limits using a keyed digest of the request network address held in memory; FreeF1 does not use this as a visitor profile or keep a page-history record.
We do not use analytics cookies, web beacons, or cross-site profiling. The live presence count uses a temporary WebSocket connection, not a cookie or persistent visitor identifier. Local storage is used for functional preferences and cached public API responses. If you use Help, it also stores your ticket access key, form draft, and a small chat cache so you can return to the conversation; clearing it removes browser-side access but does not itself delete the Discord channel. Embedded third-party video providers may apply their own cookies or storage under their own policies. Typefaces are self-hosted by FreeF1; no Google Fonts request is made.
We do not run page-view analytics, browsing-history tracking, or player-event collection. The site displays an aggregate live count of open FreeF1 page connections; it is not a unique-visitor or video-playback count, and FreeF1 does not store individual connections or a history of counts. Cloudflare may process standard network and connection metadata for the counter, and our hosting provider may maintain standard request and security logs. Third-party data and video providers may process the requests you make to their services under their own policies.
We do not sell, rent, or monetize visitor information and have no data-broker or advertising relationships. Site requests pass through our hosting providers. The live presence connection is handled separately by Cloudflare, which may process connection metadata under its own policies. If you submit a Help ticket, its messages and selected diagnostics are sent to Discord for support, while limited ticket metadata is kept by the backend and configured storage provider; these services process information under their own policies. Optional video and data features contact the providers described on this page.
Cloudflare provides the temporary WebSocket used for the aggregate live presence count. Discord receives Help messages and diagnostics in a private support channel; Render hosts the support API, and Upstash may store limited ticket metadata when configured. Third-party data providers and embedded video hosts also receive requests directly from your browser. These services may process network or other technical information under their own policies; please review those policies for details. We do not control their independent privacy practices.
We do not maintain a first-party visitor profile or analytics database. We restrict access to the separate Race Control dashboard and take reasonable precautions to protect the website and backend. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
This website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete such information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the website following any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
You may clear this site's local storage at any time to remove locally saved functional preferences, cached public API responses, and (if present) the Help ticket key and chat cache. Clearing storage does not delete an open Discord ticket and may leave you unable to access it from this browser; use the Help page's Delete this ticket control first if you want to remove an open ticket. FreeF1 does not retain a visitor profile or page history through the live counter. If you have privacy concerns or a valid data request, contact us and we will address it promptly, subject to applicable law and the limited data we retain.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through the contact methods provided on this website.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We've got answers.
We do not record page views, browsing history, or player activity, and the browser sends no application-level heartbeat. An open FreeF1 page maintains a temporary connection to Cloudflare so the site can display the aggregate number of open pages. The counter uses no visitor ID, and FreeF1 keeps no individual connection or page history. Cloudflare may process standard network metadata, such as IP address, to operate and secure its service. Functional settings and API responses may be stored locally in your browser. If you submit a Help ticket, the access key and small chat cache are also stored locally so the same browser can reopen it; the ticket conversation is sent to a private Discord support channel, not used to track site activity.
Submitting Help sends your chosen name, category, message, and any diagnostics you selected to a private Discord support channel. A random ticket key is saved in this browser so you can return to the conversation; it is not a verified account and clearing browser storage may remove your access. The Help page shows new replies while open and adds an unread dot to the Help link elsewhere on the site. Use Delete this ticket to remove the private channel and ticket metadata.
No. We do not sell or monetize visitor information, and we have no advertising or data-broker partnerships. Network requests are handled by our hosting providers and optional third-party content providers; Cloudflare also handles the temporary live-count connection as described in the Privacy Policy.
We do not use analytics cookies, web beacons, or cross-site profiling. The live count uses a temporary WebSocket connection, not a cookie or persistent visitor ID. Local storage is used for functional preferences and cached public API responses.
