How Laptics manages your data

Each lap recorded with valid telemetry consumes minutes from your balance — the lap time is automatically deducted. Laps without telemetry don't consume anything.

To keep the system fast and efficient, Laptics runs an automatic cleanup process every day at 3am. It only acts on Free plan users who have exceeded their plan limits, respecting several protections before removing anything.

The process follows three steps in sequence:

The Race Vault is a safe where you store your most important laps so they are never removed by automatic cleanup.

When a vault's protection expires, the lap returns to the normal cleanup cycle. You receive alerts in the dashboard 7 days and 1 day before that happens.

Whenever another driver uses one of your laps as a reference in a comparative analysis, that lap receives automatic protection. It will not be removed by automatic cleanup while that comparison exists — regardless of how old the lap is.

You can identify these laps by the 🏆 icon that appears next to the lap number in your session. Hover over it to see the details.

Credits are Laptics' internal currency for generating Coach AI analyses. There are two types and each works differently.

Each Coach AI analysis costs 1 credit per minute of lap (minimum 1). Comparisons and session analyses add up the time of the laps analyzed. Add-on credits never expire.

Laptics has two types of lap comparison. Each has its own retention rules.

You decide who can see your sessions, analyses, and comparisons. Each type has its own setting.

When the PRO plan is cancelled or expires without renewal, the transition to Free happens immediately — no waiting until the next day. Here's what changes:

1. 1Vault: the 3 most recently protected laps are kept (each with 90 days of protection). The rest lose vault protection — but the laps themselves are not deleted immediately.
2. 2Old laps: nothing is deleted right away. Your laps are kept for 14 more days; after that, they enter the normal Free cleanup.
3. 3Balance: the 500-minute limit also only applies after those 14 days. Then, if your laps exceed it, the oldest ones are removed until they fit.
4. 4CSV comparisons: those older than 14 days and without an AI analysis are removed in the next daily cleanup.
5. 5Notification: you receive a detailed alert in the dashboard with everything that changed.

You request deletion in the app, on the website or by email, and you have 30 days to change your mind. After that:

• ✕Your driver name, photo, email, country and iRacing data are removed from your profile
• ✕Login is turned off: email, password and the Google link no longer exist for the account
• ✕Your sessions, laps, comparisons and analyses become private and leave the Community
• ✕Your PRO subscription, if any, stops renewing as soon as you request it and ends at the end of the paid period
• ✕Unused add-on credits are not refunded — we recommend using them before deleting your account

When a lap is marked for removal, it disappears from your dashboard immediately. The physical telemetry files are deleted from our servers within 24 hours — an automatic routine handles this daily.
