Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Gulf Blue Concepts ("GBC," "we," "us") builds the Black Box telemetry hardware, the Interactive Wing, and the software that goes with them — this website, the driver/paddock portal, Track Manager, Race Engineer, and the companion mobile app. This page explains what we collect across all of that, why, and what control you have over it.
Information We Collect
- Contact form. Name, email, subject, and message when you use the form on our Contact page. This is sent to us via Web3Forms, a third-party form-delivery service — we don't store your card details or any payment info this way.
- Driver / paddock account. Name, email, and your Black Box's device ID when you create a driver account to access the portal, Track Manager, or Race Engineer.
- Purchases. When you buy hardware or a software subscription, payment is processed directly by Stripe. We don't receive or store your full card number — Stripe handles that under its own privacy policy.
- Telemetry & location data. The Black Box records GPS position, speed, and G-force data during a driving session, tied to your driver account so you can review laps, sectors, and session history. If you're on a team or in an event, your team's Race Engineer or the event's Track Manager can see this data for coaching and event-management purposes.
- Bluetooth. Our mobile app connects to your Black Box over Bluetooth to control the wing and receive live telemetry. This connection is local, directly between your phone and your own hardware — it doesn't route through our servers.
- Cookies & local storage. A session cookie keeps you logged into the driver portal. Your shopping cart is stored in your browser's local storage, not on our servers, until you check out.
How We Use It
To run the driver portal and your account, process orders, provide session review and lap analysis, enable Race Engineer coaching and Track Manager event features you opt into, respond to support requests, and keep the service running securely.
We do not sell your personal data or telemetry to third parties.
Who We Share It With
- Other users you connect with. If you join a team, your Race Engineer can see your live telemetry and messages during a session. If you join an event, that event's Track Manager can see flag/lap/pit data for the event.
- Service providers. Stripe (payments), Web3Forms (contact form delivery). Each processes only what's needed to perform that specific function.
- Legal requirements. If required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of GBC or others.
Your Choices
- Export your data. Advanced Mobile includes CSV export for your own session data at any time.
- Delete a session. You can delete individual recorded sessions from your account.
- Close your account. Contact us at 844.507.9360 to close your account and request deletion of your personal data, subject to what we're required to retain for order/tax records.
Data Retention
We keep account and telemetry data for as long as your account is active, so your session history stays available to you. Order records are retained as required for tax and accounting purposes.
Security
Account passwords are stored hashed, not in plain text. The site and app connections are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.
Children's Privacy
Our products and services are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to This Policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
