Privacy Policy

Effective August 16, 2026

ForzAdvisor is an unofficial racing-game tuning assistant. This policy explains how the current iPhone app handles information.

Information processed on device

ForzAdvisor can process car details you enter, tune settings, player notes, camera photos, imported screenshots, saved tune history, and optional validation records.

Camera photos and imported screenshots are processed on device with Apple Vision OCR. If you save a tune after using a photo or screenshot, the app may retain a small local thumbnail with that tune.

The app does not include or download a bundled car roster. Car identity and performance information used for a new tune comes from you.

Saved tunes, notes, thumbnails, preferences, and validation records are stored locally on your device. Player notes saved with a tune are not sent in Anthropic API requests. When you request a tune in Anthropic API mode, ForzAdvisor sends confirmed car details and the selected discipline to Anthropic. For an adjustment, the app sends the previous tune and requested adjustment. If iCloud Backup is enabled, Apple may include app data in that backup.

Optional remote tune generation

Offline formula tuning is the default and requires no account or API key.

When you request a tune in Anthropic API mode and have saved your own API key, ForzAdvisor sends confirmed car details and the selected discipline to Anthropic. For an adjustment, the app sends the previous tune and requested adjustment. Player notes saved with a tune are not sent in these API requests. Camera photos and imported screenshots are not sent by ForzAdvisor.

The API key is stored in the iOS Keychain. For each remote request, ForzAdvisor sends it to Anthropic in an authentication header. You can remove it from Settings at any time.

Optional Apple on-device model assistance is designed to run on the device and falls back to offline formulas when unavailable or unsuccessful.

User-initiated sharing

Some eligible workflows can prepare tune summaries, validation records, review packets, or deidentified structured JSON locally. Nothing is shared until you choose a destination in the iOS system share sheet.

ForzAdvisor does not operate the selected destination, record the destination, or maintain share history. Deleting a local record cannot recall a copy you already shared.

Do not include API keys, private screenshots, personal messages, or other sensitive information in public feedback.

Tracking, advertising, and analytics

ForzAdvisor:

• does not include advertising SDKs;
• does not include analytics SDKs;
• does not include a custom crash-reporting SDK;
• does not track you across apps or websites;
• does not sell personal information; and
• does not require a ForzAdvisor account.

Data retention and controls

Local app data, such as saved tunes, records, and preferences, is stored in the app's container on your device and is removed from the device when you delete the app. A copy included in a device backup may remain in that backup after app removal. The optional Anthropic API key is stored separately in the iOS Keychain and may remain after the app is removed. Available controls include:

• deleting saved tunes and their local thumbnails;
• deleting supported local validation and review records;
• clearing the optional Anthropic API key before uninstalling: open Settings, under Preferred generation method select API if needed, then tap Clear Key;
• disabling camera access in iOS Settings; and
• choosing not to grant photo or camera access and using manual entry instead.

ForzAdvisor cannot delete information that you independently sent to another app, person, or service.

Children

ForzAdvisor is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
