Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 12, 2026 · Last Updated: March 12, 2026

ACEL Apps LLC ("ACEL Apps," "we," "us," or "our") operates the mobile applications RaceChase, TripSlice, TalkFeel, and any other applications published under the ACEL Apps name (collectively, the "Apps"), as well as the website located at acelapps.com (the "Website"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information in connection with our Apps and Website.

By downloading, installing, or using any of our Apps, or by visiting our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

1. Scope — Which Apps Does This Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy applies to all ACEL Apps applications. Certain sections below are specific to individual Apps and are labeled accordingly:

  • RaceChase — iOS video lap-timer app
  • TripSlice — Shared trip expense-splitting app (iOS & Android)
  • TalkFeel — Structured communication app (iOS & Android)

Where a section applies to all Apps equally, it is marked All Apps. Where a section applies only to one or more specific Apps, those Apps are identified by name.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly All Apps

Our Apps are designed to minimize the personal information you need to provide. Depending on the App:

RaceChase

You may optionally enter athlete names, event names, or other descriptive text. This information is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to ACEL Apps.

TripSlice & TalkFeel

These Apps require account creation via Sign In with Apple or Sign In with Google, facilitated through Supabase (our authentication provider). Upon sign-in, we receive a unique user identifier and, depending on your sign-in method and settings, your name and email address. Account and application data is stored in our Replit-hosted database and backend infrastructure, and is used solely to operate the service. TripSlice and TalkFeel also collect phone numbers for SMS-based features (such as inviting non-app participants), processed through Twilio.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically All Apps

We use PostHog, a product analytics platform, to collect limited usage data across all Apps. PostHog may collect:

  • Device type and model
  • Operating system version
  • App version
  • General usage events (such as feature interactions, session duration, and screen views)
  • Crash and error reports (surfaced via Discord webhook integrations)
  • Country or region derived from device locale settings (not from precise location)

This data is used in aggregate to improve app performance and user experience. PostHog is configured to minimize collection of personally identifiable information. For more information, see PostHog's Privacy Policy.

2.3 Information We Do Not Collect All Apps

Unless expressly stated above, we do not collect, store, or transmit:

  • Precise or coarse geographic location data
  • Photos, videos, or audio recordings (all media created in RaceChase remains on your device)
  • Health, financial, or biometric data
  • Advertising identifiers (IDFA/GAID) or cross-app tracking data
  • Browsing history or data from other apps on your device
