What Data is Collected

F1 TV collects usage data, crash reports, and performance metrics automatically. Account information and notification preferences are stored to support login and personalized messaging. Viewing activity and in-app behavior are logged by analytics services tied to the user's session.

Third-Party Data Sharing

Activity data is shared with multiple third parties: Firebase (Google) for analytics and crash reporting, Facebook for advertising and attribution, Salesforce for marketing communications, and NewRelic for performance monitoring. PingIdentity handles authentication, and Amazon processes in-app purchases. Bitmovin receives playback analytics to measure streaming performance.

Areas for Improvement

• This version of the app contains a critical-level finding in how certain data is handled internally; this should be addressed in a future update.
• The app connects to 16 third-party services, each receiving a portion of user data. Reducing the number of integrations would lower the overall data sharing footprint.
