Fast Lane Drive (Beta) privacy policy

For the iPhone, Android and member web app.

Last updated: October 31, 2026

Who we are

Fast Lane Drive is a members-only driving community app operated by Fast Lane Drive LLC. Access requires an existing active FLD membership. Downloading the app does not create a membership. The app is for members 18 or older. Questions about your information can be sent to support@fastlanedrive.com.

Information we use

• Account and membership: name, email or phone, sign-in identity, member ID, membership status and chapter, used to manage access and your account.
• Profile and community: profile photos, bio, garage, follows, posts, comments, photos, listings, event registrations, points history and preferences, used for the features you choose. Other members receive information visible in the relevant feature; your private points ledger is not shared with them.
• Messages: chapter/event chat, private messages and encrypted recovery material, used to deliver conversations and support recovery on your devices.
• Location: location, route requests, rally-sharing choices, live position and hazard reports, used for maps, navigation and optional rally sharing.
• Device and operation: installation/device IDs, push tokens, app/OS version, timezone, notification permission and opens, IP/network information, SDK diagnostic/performance information and security records, used to operate, troubleshoot and protect the service.
• Requests: support messages, reports and deletion requests, used by authorized HQ staff to respond and handle concerns.

Selecting a photo uploads that selected content. Camera access is requested when you choose to take a photo; selecting an existing photo uses the system picker.

Location choices

Maps and navigation use location to show where you are and guide you. During guidance, location continues while the screen is off or another app is open. End guidance to stop that navigation session. Mapbox receives location, route and SDK information, including default location and usage telemetry. On Android, Mapbox provides an individual telemetry opt-out through its map attribution control.

Sharing is opt-in: setup asks whether you want to turn on live rally sharing and notifications, and you can say no. If you agree, the app saves your sharing choice, then asks for device location and notification permission in turn. If you choose Not now, sharing stays off. When sharing is on, FLD receives your position and shows it to authorized rally participants and HQ viewers. Sharing runs only during a rally you joined, including while the app is in the background. It stops when the rally ends or when you close the app. You can turn sharing off without ending navigation; ending navigation does not necessarily turn sharing off. Device location permissions and the in-app sharing choice are separate controls.

Chat and encryption

Chapter and event chats are not end-to-end encrypted; the service can process their text. Member-to-member private chats use Matrix end-to-end encryption. The server transports and stores ciphertext and encrypted backups. FLD does not receive your plaintext recovery key or secret cross-signing keys through private-message setup.

The service still processes metadata such as member/Matrix and device IDs, public keys, room participants, event times, synchronization information, ciphertext size and network information. Push providers process notification routing information. A private preview may appear on a recipient’s lock screen according to device settings. Recipients can copy or share what they receive; information you choose to submit to support is processed as support content.

Providers and sharing

FLD/HQ and hosting/storage providers process information needed to run the service. We use Supabase for account/data infrastructure, Railway for hosted services, Mapbox for maps/navigation and SDK telemetry, Firebase and Apple APNs for installations/push, FLD-operated Matrix/Tuwunel for chat, and SendGrid for email where configured. Your chosen Apple or Google sign-in provider processes its sign-in flow.

The Android app opens the FLD shop in your browser. Shopify provides the shop and its checkout services. Information you enter in that browser checkout is processed by Shopify and the selected payment provider under their notices. Card details are entered at the shop checkout, not in the Android app. App-account deletion does not automatically erase separately required merchant transaction records.

External links and the public website may have separate cookies and privacy notices. Our hosting and service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Contact us for information about the providers involved in your request.

Retention and deletion

Account and profile records persist for membership and account features until account-deletion processing. Current rally positions have a configured expiry in the current-position store; that expiry does not erase database logs or backups. Expired hazard reports are marked expired, rather than physically erased. Chat history, encrypted backups and service/security records can remain after account deletion. Our server logs and the system backup copies of our databases and chat server are removed automatically within 30 days; this does not cover the chat history and encrypted message-key backups kept as described above, and other providers keep their own records under their own notices. Contact us about the records associated with your account.

On iPhone and Android, open Settings → Account → Delete account → Request deletion. On the web, open Settings → Account → Delete account → Request account deletion. You may be asked to sign in again to confirm it is you.

HQ completes account deletion within 30 days and emails confirmation. Your account access, name, profile photo, contact details, garage and marketplace listings are removed; upcoming registrations are cancelled.

Posts and comments stay as Former member, without your name or profile photo. Chapter and event chat messages, private-message ciphertext and encrypted backups are retained. Your chat profile and room membership name change to Former member and your chat profile photo is cleared. Media used by retained posts or other records, past event history and limited reports/HQ records may remain. Content itself can contain personal details. Other members’ saved copies cannot be erased remotely.

Deleting your app account does not cancel FLD membership or HQ billing/renewals. Contact HQ separately for membership changes. No purchase or cancellation is required to request app-account deletion.

You can also request account deletion by email.

Your requests

Contact support@fastlanedrive.com to ask about access, correction or deletion. We verify requests using information needed to match and protect your account. You can also ask about retained content and the providers involved. We will update this policy when our practices change.
