Privacy

Short version: no account, no analytics, no ads, nothing sold. Lollipop does its work on your PC. Below is every time it goes online, and why.

The app

• Update checkAsks this website for the newest version 15 seconds after it starts, then every 6 hours. Updates download from here too. (Versions before 0.4.15 asked GitHub.)
• Track mapsDownloads the map of the track layout you're on from iRacing's public file server, once, and keeps it on your PC.
• Twitch chatOnly if you fill in a channel. Reads that channel's public chat as an anonymous viewer: no login, it can't post.
• Stint planOnly if you paste your own iRacePlan API key. Reads your team's plan. Nothing is ever written to iRacePlan.
• Team fuel sharingOnly with a team code. More below.
• OBS micOnly if you connect it. Talks to OBS on your own PC to read whether your mic is on or muted.

That's all. Your races, lap times and settings stay in %APPDATA%\Lollipop on your PC. Race review's share card shows car numbers, never names. Your API key and team code are stored encrypted for your Windows user.

Team fuel sharing

Teams go through Lollipop's own small server (on Cloudflare). It keeps only the team's name and its codes, as hashes, so the codes themselves can't be read back. While a teammate drives, their app sends the car's fuel figures about once a second. The server passes them on to the other teammates in the same session and keeps only the latest figures, until everyone has left the session. To stop abuse, it briefly counts new teams and wrong codes per internet address. A team that isn't used for 12 months is deleted, and the owner can delete it at any time.

This website

No cookies, no analytics, no trackers, and nothing loaded from other companies. The site and its downloads run on Cloudflare, which handles every request (and so sees your IP address) to deliver the page or the file. Lollipop's update checks come here too, and nothing about them is kept or counted. The tip jar is on Ko-fi: its button is a plain link, so nothing of Ko-fi's loads here, and a tip is handled by Ko-fi and its payment providers under their own privacy policies.

Feedback

Mail to feedback@lollipopoverlays.com is forwarded to me by Cloudflare's email routing. I use it only to reply and to fix what you found, and never share it or add you to a mailing list.

Other drivers

The overlays show what iRacing shows you in the sim, such as names on the Relative. If you stream, viewers see that too. iRacing's terms ask that you respect other members' privacy, so think about what you put on stream.
