Last updated: 19 July 2026. This policy covers firstlap.app ("firstlap", "we"), operated by drivenerve, an independent EU-based tool studio ("the operator"). For the operator's full legal details, or anything else in this policy, write to hello@drivenerve.com — we answer.
1. What firstlap does not do
- No user accounts and no sign-up.
- No cookies of any kind, and no similar tracking identifiers.
- No analytics, advertising or social-media scripts. The site makes no requests to third-party servers at all.
- No forms that transmit data to us. Your plan is never uploaded anywhere.
- No sale or sharing of personal information — we have none to sell.
2. Data stored on your device only
To function as a planner, firstlap saves your plan in your browser's local storage: your six wizard answers (vehicle type, experience level, weather, transport, trip type, circuit and date), which checklist items you have completed, and the optional emergency card (a contact name, phone number and medical notes).
This data never leaves your device. We cannot see it, receive it or recover it. It is processed by your own browser solely to provide the service you asked for, which is why no consent banner is required: this storage is strictly necessary for the tool you are actively using, and nothing else is stored.
You can erase it at any time with the planner's "Start over" button, or by clearing this site's data in your browser settings. If your browser blocks local storage, the planner still works for the current visit; it simply cannot remember your plan.
The emergency card deserves a special note. Medical information is sensitive. It exists so you can print it for the paddock, it is stored only on your device, and it is deliberately excluded from share links.
3. Share links
The "Share this plan" feature encodes your wizard answers and completed items into the link itself. Nothing is stored on a server; whoever opens the link reconstructs the plan locally. Two things to know: anyone you send the link to can see the plan it contains, and messaging platforms may log URLs you send through them. The emergency card is never included in share links.
4. Server logs (hosting)
Like virtually every website, the server that delivers these pages keeps standard access logs — IP address, requested page, time, browser type — generated by our hosting provider for security and operation of the service. This is the only processing of personal data connected to firstlap, and its legal basis in the EU/UK is legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in running a secure website. Logs are retained per the hosting provider's standard schedule and are not used for profiling or marketing.
5. Your rights
Depending on where you live — the EU/EEA or UK (GDPR), California (CCPA/CPRA), Canada (PIPEDA), Australia (Privacy Act 1988) or New Zealand (Privacy Act 2020) — you have rights to access, correct, delete or port personal data, to object to processing, and to complain to your local supervisory authority. Because your plan data exists only on your device, you exercise most of these rights directly: delete the site's data and it is gone, everywhere it ever existed. For anything relating to server logs, contact us at hello@drivenerve.com and we will coordinate with the hosting provider. We do not discriminate against anyone for exercising privacy rights.
6. Children
firstlap is not directed at children and, in any case, collects no personal data from anyone.
7. If this ever changes
We may in future add a newsletter, privacy-respecting aggregate analytics, or clearly labelled partner links. None of these are active today. If any of them launches, this policy will be updated before it goes live, with a new date at the top, and any feature that collects personal data (such as a newsletter) will use explicit opt-in consent with a working unsubscribe.
