Privacy policy – RN Analyzer
RN Vision GmbH · info@rn-vision.com · Last updated 3 November 2026, revision 7 · Deutsche Kurzfassung
In one sentence: RN Analyzer keeps your data on your device. There is no account, no server of ours that receives your laps or your personal data, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. The app never uploads your laps, videos, names or health data anywhere; they leave your device only in a file you share yourself, or as files in a cloud folder of your own that you connect (see Cloud folder).
Who is responsible
RN Vision GmbH publishes RN Analyzer (the web version at analyzer.race-navigator.com and the apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac). Questions about this policy or your data: info@rn-vision.com.
What the app stores, and where
Everything the app works with stays in the app's own storage on your device (in the browser: the site's IndexedDB; in the apps: the app container):
- Laps and telemetry you import from files or download from your Race Navigator, the videos that belong to them, and the track definitions.
- Names, photos and notes you enter yourself (drivers, cars, events).
- Your settings (language, units, map style, chosen channels).
- A diagnostics log of what the app did (imports, device connections, errors). It never leaves the device by itself; you can read it under Settings → Diagnostics and choose to send it to us by e-mail. It holds the current session and the earlier sessions of the last seven days (at most ten), so that a problem can still be sent after the app was started again; older sessions are deleted by themselves.
You delete laps and videos in the app (one at a time, or all of them with Settings → Manage storage → Clear all data; that action leaves your settings and the diagnostics log in place). Uninstalling the app, or clearing the site data in the browser, removes everything.
Health data (Apple Health, Health Connect)
If you allow it, the app reads for the time of a lap your heart rate and, where your watch records them, your heart rate variability (HRV), respiratory rate, blood oxygen and body temperature from Apple Health (iPhone, iPad) or Health Connect (Android), and shows them as data channels next to the telemetry. The values are stored with the lap on the device only. The app never writes health data. They leave the device only if you share a lap and choose, at that share, to include them (the app asks each time, and without your choice the shared file carries none), or with their laps in a cloud folder you connected that is not in iCloud Drive (see Cloud folder). You can withdraw the permission at any time in the system settings; the app then reads no new values. Values already loaded stay with their laps until you delete those laps.
Network connections the app makes
The app has no server of its own that receives your data. It talks to these services, and each one sees your IP address as any web request does:
| Service | What is sent | Why | Can I switch it off? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your Race Navigator in the local Wi-Fi | Requests for laps, videos and device settings; when you edit the recorder's driver, car or event list, the names you enter go to the recorder | Import and control of the recorder | Only used when you connect |
| Map tiles (OpenStreetMap, Esri World Imagery) | Coordinates of the map tiles on screen | Track map and 3D view | Only while the device is online; tiles already loaded are kept for offline use |
| Weather (Open-Meteo) | Coordinates of the track and the day a lap was driven | Weather of each lap in the lap list and on the map | Only while the device is online, once per track and day; the answer is kept on the device |
| RN software update service (RN Vision, cvs.macrix.eu) | The recorder model, to ask for the newest RN software; the name of the recorder last connected, to ask for its edition key; after an RN software update you start, the recorder's name and its old and new software version | RN software update and edition key of your Race Navigator, downloaded ahead so they can be installed at the recorder without internet | In the apps only: asked while online at most every 12 hours and when you open the RN software update; the report after an installation is sent once the device is online again |
| Update check (analyzer.race-navigator.com, Apple's App Store lookup) | Nothing but the request for a small version file | Update notice in the apps | Runs in the apps at start, when the app returns to the foreground and about every 20 minutes while it is open |
Apart from the names you send to your own recorder, and the recorder's name with its software versions for RN software updates, no personal data is part of any of these requests. The coordinates sent for weather and map tiles describe the race track, not you, and are the same for every driver on that track.
Permissions the apps ask for
- Local network / Bonjour (iOS): to find and talk to the Race Navigator in your Wi-Fi.
- Health (iOS, Android): to read the health values above. Optional.
- Camera and photo library: the app does not open the camera and does not browse your photo library. Videos come in through the file picker, like lap files. iOS lists the camera and photo permissions because the picker frameworks require the texts; they are not used.
- Files: to import .rnz and .mp4 files you choose and to save exports where you choose.
Cloud folder (optional)
If you connect a cloud folder (Settings → Cloud folder), a folder you pick yourself in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive, the app writes your laps with their notes, the names you gave drivers and vehicles, their videos, your math formulas, the limits per vehicle and your own sector splits as files into that folder, and reads what your other devices put there. The app sends nothing over the network for this: your cloud's own program (Apple's, Dropbox's, Microsoft's or Google's) stores the folder and carries it between your devices, under that provider's terms and privacy policy. RN Vision receives none of it. Health values go into the folder with their laps only where it is not in iCloud Drive; in iCloud Drive, and in a folder picked in a browser, they stay on the device. A lap you delete from its menu is deleted from the folder too; disconnecting the folder deletes nothing, and what is in it stays there until you delete it there.
Sharing and exports
When you share or export a lap, a part of a lap, a spreadsheet or a video clip, the file is handed to the share sheet or saved where you pick. A shared lap carries its notes, and its health values only if you choose so at that share; a shared part of a lap carries its video. What happens with the file from there is under your control.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you may ask what data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, and complain to a supervisory authority. Because the app stores nothing on our side, there is normally nothing to disclose: the data is on your device, and you can read and delete it there. If you sent us a diagnostics log or an e-mail, we keep it only as long as needed to answer you, and delete it on request.
Children
RN Analyzer is not directed at children under 16 and does not knowingly process their data.

Deutsche Kurzfassung
RN Analyzer speichert alle Daten auf Ihrem Gerät: Runden, Videos, Namen, Notizen, Einstellungen und ein Diagnoseprotokoll. Verbinden Sie einen Cloud-Ordner (Einstellungen → Cloud-Ordner), schreibt die App Runden mit Notizen, Fahrer- und Fahrzeugnamen, Videos, Formeln, Grenzwerte und eigene Sektoren zusätzlich als Dateien in diesen selbst gewählten Ordner in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive oder Google Drive; das Programm Ihres Cloud-Dienstes speichert ihn und überträgt ihn zwischen Ihren Geräten, RN Vision erhält davon nichts. Es gibt kein Konto, keinen Server von uns, der Ihre Runden oder persönlichen Daten erhält, keine Analyse-Tools, keine Werbung und kein Tracking. Herzfrequenz und, soweit Ihre Uhr sie aufzeichnet, Herzfrequenzvariabilität, Atemfrequenz, Blutsauerstoff und Körpertemperatur werden nur mit Ihrer Erlaubnis aus Apple Health bzw. Health Connect gelesen und lokal zur Runde gespeichert; sie verlassen das Gerät nur, wenn Sie eine Runde teilen und beim Teilen ausdrücklich wählen, sie mitzugeben, oder mit ihren Runden in einem verbundenen Cloud-Ordner außerhalb von iCloud Drive. Netzwerkverbindungen bestehen nur zum Race Navigator im lokalen WLAN (dorthin gehen auch Fahrer-, Fahrzeug- und Eventnamen, die Sie am Gerät ändern), zu Kartendiensten (OpenStreetMap, Esri, auch für die 3D-Ansicht), zum Wetterdienst Open-Meteo (Streckenkoordinaten und Datum, keine personenbezogenen Daten) zum RN-Software-Update-Dienst von RN Vision (in den Apps, online höchstens alle 12 Stunden und beim Öffnen des RN-Software-Updates: Recorder-Modell, der Name des zuletzt verbundenen Recorders für seinen Edition Key, nach einem Update der Name des Recorders mit alter und neuer Softwareversion) und für die Update-Prüfung beim Start, beim Zurückkehren in den Vordergrund und etwa alle 20 Minuten; Karten und Wetter werden nur bei bestehender Internetverbindung abgerufen und dann auf dem Gerät gehalten. Runden und Videos löschen Sie in der App (Einstellungen → Speicher verwalten → Alle Daten löschen; Einstellungen und Diagnoseprotokoll bleiben dabei; das Protokoll hält die Sitzungen der letzten sieben Tage, höchstens zehn), alles zusammen durch Deinstallation. Bereits geladene Gesundheitswerte bleiben bei der Runde, bis Sie die Runde löschen; ein Entzug der Berechtigung stoppt nur weitere Abfragen. Verantwortlich: RN Vision GmbH, info@rn-vision.com. Ihre Rechte nach DSGVO (Auskunft, Berichtigung, Löschung, Beschwerde) bleiben unberührt; da wir keine Daten von Ihnen halten, ist in der Regel nichts herauszugeben.
