Legal

1) Who we are

GT Coach ("we", "us") provides a desktop companion app for Gran Turismo 7. We operate in the United Kingdom.

2) Eligibility

You must be at least 13 to use GT Coach. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or guardian.

3) Account & Sign-in

Sign-in is via Discord OAuth only. You are responsible for keeping your Discord account secure. We may revoke access if you violate these terms.

4) Licence

We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes. We retain all rights not expressly granted.

5) Acceptable use

• No reverse engineering, decompiling, or circumventing technical measures except where prohibited by law.
• No misuse, interference, or attempts to gain unauthorised access to our services or others' data.
• No infringement of third-party rights (including Sony/Polyphony/Gran Turismo IP).

6) Updates

We may update the app automatically to improve features/security. Some updates may be required to continue using the app.

7) Third-party services

The app integrates with third parties, including Discord (sign-in), Supabase (database/backend), and PostHog (product analytics). Their terms/privacy apply to their services.

8) Feedback & confidentiality

If you send ideas or feedback, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them to improve GT Coach without obligation to you. You agree not to publicly disclose unreleased features or non-public information you gain through beta access.

9) Beta Programme (free during beta)

• During the beta, the app is pre-release and may change, break, or be withdrawn at any time. Features may be experimental.
• We do not provide an uptime or support SLA.
• Do not rely on GT Coach in safety-critical situations.
• We may delete beta data as part of testing or when the beta ends.
• The beta is free to use while it runs.

10) Future pricing & subscriptions (when launched)

• We may introduce paid plans or features in future.
• We will clearly present pricing, renewal and cancellation terms in-app before they take effect.
• We will not charge you without your explicit action/consent.
• If you do not agree, you can stop using the app before charges apply.
• Any free trials or introductory offers will state duration, renewal and how to cancel.

11) Warranty & liability

The app is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties (merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose). We do not exclude or limit liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Your statutory rights (including under UK consumer law where applicable) are not affected.

12) Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access with notice where reasonably possible if: (a) you breach these terms; (b) we believe it's necessary for security, legal, or operational reasons; or (c) we discontinue the service. You may uninstall the app and stop using it at any time.

13) Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction.

14) Changes

We'll post changes here and update the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be highlighted in-app or on this page.

1) Data controller & contact

Controller: GT Coach (United Kingdom). Contact: contact@gtcoach.app.

2) What we collect

• Before sign-in: analytics are disabled or collected in cookieless/anonymous mode (no web cookies or persistent browser IDs).
• After sign-in (Discord): your Discord user ID/username, and app usage/telemetry events may be associated with your account to provide coaching, diagnostics, and quality improvements.
• Support: messages you send us at contact@gtcoach.app.
• Diagnostics/security: crash logs and limited technical data needed to run and secure the app.

3) Lawful bases

• Performance of contract: to provide the app and features you request.
• Legitimate interests: to keep services secure, prevent abuse, and improve quality (balanced against your rights).
• Consent: for analytics that are not strictly necessary (where required). You can withdraw consent at any time in-app or by emailing us.

4) Recipients & processors

We use third parties solely to provide the service (e.g., Discord for sign-in; Supabase for backend; PostHog for analytics; Cloudflare to host this page). They must protect your data and act only under our instructions.

5) International transfers

Where data is processed outside the UK/EEA, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., UK SCCs/IDTA) and perform transfer assessments where required.

6) Retention

• Account & essential logs: while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter (typically up to 24-36 months) for security, audit, and legal compliance.
• Analytics: at most 24 months (or anonymised/aggregated sooner).
• Support emails: up to 24 months unless resolved earlier or deletion is requested.

7) Your rights

You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and withdraw consent at any time. Email contact@gtcoach.app. We will respond within one month.

8) Children

We do not knowingly process data of children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use GT Coach.

9) Security

We use encryption in transit (TLS), role-based access, and logging. No method is 100% secure; we monitor and remediate issues promptly.

10) Deletion & export

Email contact@gtcoach.app to request deletion or a copy of your data. We'll verify you (e.g., via your Discord ID) and delete/export unless we must retain for legal/security reasons.

11) Automated decision-making

We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you solely using automated processing. Coaching insights are suggestions only.

12) Cookies

This legal page sets no cookies. The Electron app does not use web cookies. Pre-sign-in analytics are cookieless; after sign-in, events may be associated with your Discord ID to improve GT Coach. You can disable analytics in-app at any time.

13) Marketing

We do not send marketing emails or show third-party ads.

14) Changes

We will update this notice as our processing evolves or law changes.
