Short version
PitBoard doesn't have accounts and doesn't ask for your email or name to use it. The only "data" the site uses is what your browser stores locally on your own device (your saved ZIP code, radius, series filters, and reminder toggles). That data lives on your device, not on our server. We use lightweight, privacy-respecting analytics that don't follow you around the web. Outbound links to streaming services, ticket sites, and retailers may include affiliate tags so PitBoard can earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you — if you make a purchase.
Who runs this site
PitBoard is operated by an independent owner based in Alabama, USA. Contact: [email protected].
What we store on your device
PitBoard uses your browser's local storage to remember your preferences across visits. Specifically, we store:
- Your saved ZIP code and radius (so we can show nearby tracks).
- Your series filter selections (NASCAR, IndyCar, F1, NHRA, Local).
- Which races you've toggled reminders on for.
- A small cache of ZIP-to-coordinates lookups, so we don't re-geocode the same ZIP every visit.
This data never leaves your device. It is not transmitted to PitBoard's servers or to any third party. You can clear it at any time using your browser's "clear site data" feature, or by clicking Clear in the Local Racing Setup card on the home page.
What we don't do
- We don't have user accounts. We don't ask for your name, email, or password.
- We don't sell or rent any data to anyone.
- We don't use cross-site advertising trackers.
- We don't share data with data brokers.
Geocoding (turning your ZIP into a location)
When you enter a ZIP code, PitBoard converts it to approximate latitude and longitude so it can find tracks within your chosen radius. This conversion uses a public geocoding service. The ZIP is sent to that service to perform the lookup. PitBoard does not associate your ZIP with any other identifier and does not store ZIP lookups on a server — the result is cached in your browser only.
Analytics
PitBoard may use a privacy-respecting analytics tool (such as Plausible or Simple Analytics) to understand aggregate page views, referrers, and which features people use. These tools are cookie-free, do not track you across websites, do not build a personal profile, and do not require a cookie banner under GDPR or CCPA. If we add or change analytics tooling, this page will be updated.
Affiliate links and outbound clicks
Some links on PitBoard — including links in the "Where to watch" panels, any future "Get Tickets" buttons, and any "Race-Day Gear" recommendations — may be affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, PitBoard may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help keep the site free.
Outbound links may include UTM parameters (e.g. utm_source=pitboard)
so the destination site knows the click came from PitBoard. UTM parameters do
not identify you personally.
Children
PitBoard is a general-audience motorsports schedule. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of the page will reflect that. Material changes will be noted on the home page or via any newsletter we may launch in the future.
