PART II Data Protection Provisions


We (the Publisher and any separate providers) thank you for your interest in this app. We are committed to protecting your privacy as an app user. This document explains how we handle personal data with regard to the app. "Personal data" means all information that relates to a natural person who has been or can be identified. The way we handle personal data is always based on our applicable Data Protection Policy of the Mercedes-Benz Group as well as specific Data Protection Policy for AMG Track Pace as stated below.

2.1  Responsibility

For the purposes of these data protection regulations/notices, the terms "Publisher" or "We" are always used, regardless of whether the Publisher is the sole party to the contract under Section 1.1 of EULA (see Part I of the Terms of Use) or another provider is listed in the app's provider information (under "Provider"). In this case, the Provider is responsible under data protection laws, otherwise the Publisher is responsible.

2.2.1    Data categories

We process personal data of the users that the users enter when signing on to and using the app, data that they approve for processing on the device, and data relating to the use of the app.

To provide you with the features of the product (e.g. to record tracks, races as well as videos, displaying telemetry data and providing analysis functions), the app makes use of data from both your phone and your vehicle. To this end, the app collects the following telemetry data of the vehicle while recording your race or race track in combination with the usage of the smartphone app:

Direction data:

  • GPX data of raced laps
  • Steering wheel position
  • Lateral acceleration
  • Longitudinal acceleration
  • Yaw
  • Brake torque
  • Speed
  • Acceleration pedal position
  • Brake pedal position

Landing gear data:

  • ESP front wheel angle
  • Damping ratio
  • Tire temperature
  • Tire pressure

Engine data:

  • Engine oil temperature
  • Boost
  • Engine torque
  • Engine power
  • Odometer
  • Outside air temperature
  • Engine speed
  • Battery voltage
  • Battery currage
  • Consumption

Transmission data:

  • Transmission fluid temperature

Additional to this, the vehicle identification number (VIN/FIN) is stored locally for each race to identify the vehicle (model). Depending on usage of our features provided within the smartphone app we may save also your (nick)name as well as race descriptions.

Providing data of this kind is not required by law or under a contract, nor to conclude a contract. Users are not obligated to provide data of this kind. However, if this data is not provided, it may mean that the app's functions and use are limited.

To use the function of finding nearby tracks, the app needs access to the location services of your device. However, your current location isn’t saved at any time. To record a video as well as the sound during races, the app uses your integrated camera and microphone. AMG Track Pace therefore requires also the access to your photo gallery to save the recorded items.

For iOS devices, you can delete recorded data (i.e. races, tracks, videos, etc.) at any time via the application (Menu -> My Recordings -> Swipe to delete). The use of the App itself is possible without access to this data. All used device data can be activated/deactivated via

iPhone Settings > Privacy > Photos,

iPhone Settings > Privacy > Microphone.
To deactivate collection of data from the vehicle, please stop the wifi connection to the vehicle. However, if the access of the App to the data is deactivated, this will lead to limitations on functionalities.

For Android devices, you can delete recorded data (i.e. races, tracks, videos, etc.) at any time via the application (Menu -> My Recordings -> Swipe to delete). All permissions for the app can be activated/deactivated via

Android system settings > Apps > TrackPace > Permissions > Camera,
Android system settings > Apps > TrackPace > Permissions > Microphone,
Android system settings > Apps > TrackPace > Permissions > Contact.
To deactivate collection of data from the vehicle, please stop the wifi connection to the vehicle. However, if the access of the App to the data is deactivated, this will lead to limitations on functionalities.
