PacePrivacy policy
Last updated: July 28, 2026
The short version: your race data never leaves your PC. Pacedex has no accounts and collects no names, e-mails or race telemetry. The app sends a few anonymous technical numbers so we can count active installs and fix bugs — and you can turn even that off.
What stays on your PC
Everything the game produces: telemetry, laps, sessions, setups, radio messages. It is stored in a local SQLite database in your user folder and is never uploaded.
What the app sends (anonymous)
Each install generates a random ID (a UUID) that is not linked to your name, e-mail or gamertag — we couldn't identify you from it if we tried. With that ID the app sends:
- Heartbeat — when checking for updates: app version, interface language and operating system. Used to count active installs per version.
- Diagnostics — technical health of the app: whether telemetry packets are arriving, which UDP port is in use, packet-decoding health, voice-engine status. Used to fix problems (e.g. "installed but receives nothing").
- Community benchmark — aggregated performance numbers only (e.g. tyre life per track). Stored as averages; no lap-by-lap data.
Turning it off
Set "stats": false in overlay_config.json (or the environment variable PACEDEX_NO_STATS=1). The app then sends nothing — the update check still downloads the public version file, without any ID.

pacedex.com uses cookie-less analytics by default. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity (which use cookies) load only after you accept the consent banner.
Where data lives
The anonymous numbers above are stored on Cloudflare infrastructure. As with any web service, connection metadata (such as IP addresses) is processed transiently by Cloudflare to deliver the service; we do not store IPs with the stats.
Children
Pacedex is not directed at children and collects no personal data from anyone.
