Draft — not yet reviewed. Some details are still marked in brackets and will be completed before this version is final.
Version 0.1-draft · updated 2026-08-28
OctaneLab is operated by [company name], [org. number], [registered address] (“OctaneLab”, “we”, “us”).
We are the data controller for the personal data described in this document. You can reach us at [contact email] for any question about your data, including the requests in section 9.
OctaneLab analyses motorcycle track data. You upload a log from your lap timer or data logger; we work out where lap time is being lost, how your riding compares to a simulated reference lap, and what to change on the bike. Some analyses are estimates rather than measurements, and the service marks them as such.
The service is currently in beta and invitation-only. See section 12.
You need an account to use OctaneLab. Everyone who uses the service needs their own account and accepts these terms — including a crew chief, engineer or mechanic who never rides.
A team is a workspace shared by its members. The person who creates a team owns it and pays for it. Team members can see the team’s data according to their role.
Account data: your email address, a username you choose, and optionally your name, country and rider level. If you pay for a subscription, our payment provider handles your card details — we never see or store them.
The logs you upload: the log file itself, exactly as your logger exported it, plus what you tell us about it — which track, which bike, what the channels mean, your suspension and chassis settings, tyres, weather, and which rider the session belongs to.
A log contains GPS positions, and GPS positions are personal data. A track log shows where a person was, when, and how they rode. We treat it as personal data throughout, and so should you when you upload data about someone else — see section 7.
What we derive from your logs: lap times, sector and corner times, scores, estimated suspension movement, and a record of how the analysis went — which channels your logger provided, what we mapped them to, what ranges the values arrived in, how many laps could be used, and where an analysis failed. That last part exists so we can find out why the service does not work for someone, and fix it. It contains no positions.
How you use the service: which pages and analyses you open, for how long, and how far you read — tied to your account. We use this internally to decide what to improve and what to build next; it is never shared, never used for advertising, and involves no third-party trackers. Usage records are deleted after 24 months.
To give you the service you asked for. We parse, analyse and store your logs so you can see your own results, compare sessions, and keep a history. This is necessary to perform our agreement with you. It is not something you opt into separately — it is the service.
To develop and improve the service. We look at customer data, including uploaded log files, to develop the product: to fix analyses that fail, to understand which logger formats and channels people actually use, to calibrate our models and reference laps against real riding, and to see where the service is not working. Our basis for this is [legitimate interest / consent — to be decided]. You can object to this use at any time by contacting us, and we will exclude your data from it.
To produce anonymous comparisons. We may calculate aggregate figures — for example the spread of lap times at a track, for a bike class, at a given rider level. These are shown inside the service as distributions only: a figure is never shown unless enough different riders from enough different teams are behind it, and it can never be traced back to a person. Once aggregated this way, the result is our own derived data and no longer identifies anyone.
What we never do: we never share one customer’s data with another. Not your logs, not your lap times, not your setups, not your results. The only things every customer sees are our own simulated reference laps and the anonymous aggregates above. We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.
You can add riders to a team roster, including riders who do not have an OctaneLab account, and upload data recorded on their bike.
When you do, you confirm that you have the right to do so — that the rider knows their riding data is being uploaded to OctaneLab, has been told what this document says about it, and has agreed. Their GPS data is personal data about them, and we cannot obtain their permission on your behalf.
If a rider asks us to remove their data and we cannot identify who registered them, we will contact the team owner.
You can download any log file you uploaded, byte for byte, at any time. That is never behind a paywall, on any plan.
What we compute is ours: the simulated reference laps, the models, the calibrations and the aggregate figures are OctaneLab’s, and are available to view inside the service rather than to export.

| What | How long |
|---|---|
| Your account and profile | Until you delete it |
| Uploaded log files | [to be decided] |
| Analyses derived from your logs | [to be decided] |
| Lap times and scores, with your identity removed | Kept, as anonymous statistics |
| Backups | [to be decided] |
When you delete your account we remove your log files and the link between you and everything derived from them. Aggregate statistics that can no longer identify you are kept, as described in section 5.
Deleting a log removes it from our storage as well as from your view — not from one of two places.
Your data is stored and processed in the EU/EEA.

The service is in beta. It may be unavailable, results may change as we calibrate, and features may be added or removed. Some outputs are estimates and are labelled as such — do not treat them as measurements.
Nothing in OctaneLab is a safety system. Setup suggestions and analyses are information, not instructions. You are responsible for your motorcycle and for how you ride it.
During the invitation-only beta the service is provided free of charge. Plans, prices and cancellation terms will be stated here before any payment is taken.
We may change these terms. If a change matters to you we will tell you before it takes effect, and you will be asked to accept the new version. We keep a record of which version you accepted and when.
