Privacy notice
Effective November 1, 2026. This notice describes Pulse Drive at pulsedrive.site. Contact support@pulsedrive.site about your data.
Information we use
Accounts store your username, a salted password hash, a verified email address when configured and hashed, expiring email-verification and password-reset tokens, points balance, owned cars, driving records and credit purchase records. We store which purchase terms were accepted and when. Session cookies keep you signed in and protect requests. Browser storage saves guest progress, settings and pending progress updates. Music you choose stays in your browser and is not uploaded by Pulse Drive.
Payments
Stripe collects your email, billing information and payment details on its checkout page, processes payments, sends receipts and checks for fraud. Pulse Drive stores payment references, amounts, credit delivery, refund and dispute status; it does not receive your full card number or security code. See Stripe's privacy policy.
Hosting and multiplayer
Our hosting providers, including OpenAI's Sites service and Cloudflare, process requests and store account data for us. Network information such as IP addresses may be processed for delivery, security and rate limits. Private party members see each other's usernames, selected cars and driving positions. Party synchronization uses the website's server.
Website analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics on the main driving page to measure visits, page views, referral sources and page performance. It does not use tracking cookies or identify individual visitors. We do not send account usernames, email addresses, passwords, balances or payment details as analytics events. Password-reset, email-verification and admin-activation pages do not load the analytics script. See Cloudflare Web Analytics for more information.
Security and support
Connections use HTTPS. Passwords and reset tokens are stored as hashes; session cookies are protected from page scripts. Payment secrets stay on the server. No system can guarantee absolute security. Verification and password-reset messages are sent through Resend, which processes the recipient address and message for delivery. Support email is forwarded to our support mailbox hosted by Google, which processes those messages. Never send sensitive payment or login information by email.
Why and how long
We use this information to provide the service, save progress, fulfill purchases, handle support and refunds, and prevent abuse. Accounts and progress are retained while needed to provide the service. Payment and security records may be retained as necessary for accounting, disputes and legal requirements. Expired session and rate-limit records are periodically removed. We do not sell personal information or use the site to serve targeted advertising.
Children and guardians
Children should use the service with a parent or guardian. We do not ask for a date of birth or collect payment details in the Pulse Drive account form. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, contact support so we can review and address it. Purchases must be made by someone legally authorized to enter the transaction.
Your choices
You can play as a guest without buying credits, log out, clear this site's browser storage, and contact support to request access, correction or deletion of account data. Clearing browser data does not delete your server account or payment records. We verify ownership before acting on account requests; some transaction records may need to be retained. Do not send passwords, reset links or full payment details to support.
