Motorsport Network has a dedicated security team. We maintain strict controls over the Personal Data and other information we collect, retaining it in firewalled and secured databases with strictly limited and controlled access rights, to ensure it is secure. Our dedicated partners who provide technology for some of the databases are required to maintain the highest standards as expected by Motorsport Network and we reserve the right to audit these partners and periodically ensure these are upheld.
Please remember that unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

Please email us at datacontroller@motorsport.com and we will respond to you as soon as possible. This provides us with an opportunity to work with you and quickly address and resolve any issue.

In addition to the description of how we may disclose your personal data for each user type, we may also disclose personal data as follows:
We may transfer your personal information across national borders to other countries in compliance with applicable laws. Where Motorsport Network transfers your personal information to a country which is not within the European Territories and is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, we rely on one or more of the following legal mechanisms: EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield, European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses, and your consent in certain circumstances. A copy of the relevant mechanism can be provided for your review upon request, using the contact details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy. Details about the standard contractual clauses we may also use when we transfer data to third countries is available here.
We do not knowingly collect, use or share any personal information about children (generally considered to be under the age of 13 in the United States, under the age of 13 - 16 in the European Territories or depending on the country where you reside) without verifiable parental consent or as permitted by law. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information, you can contact us and request your child’s information to be deleted from our system. Before disclosing personal data of a child, we will request that the parent or guardian provide reasonable information for identification purposes. We advise that parents or guardians always supervise young people/children when online.
We are dedicated to the protection young people and children’s personal data and do not knowingly market to children.
Subject to limitations in applicable law, you have various rights related to the processing of your Personal Data. To make a request concerning your rights or if you have any other question, please contact us by sending an email to the address specified in the “Contact Us” section.
In accordance with European privacy laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
Make a complaint at any time to the competent supervisory authority for data protection issues. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach a supervisory authority so please contact us in the first instance. Please click here for contact information for such authorities.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us by email at privacy@motorsport.com. Please note it will be necessary to satisfactorily confirm your identity in order to do so.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your Personal Data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
Motorsport Network also maintains a Data Retention Policy that details the retention period for personal data based on our analysis of how long the specific data is reasonably required for legal or business purposes. When we no longer need personal data, we securely delete or destroy it. Aggregated data, which cannot identify a device/browser (or individual) and is used for purposes of reporting and analysis, is maintained for as long as commercially necessary.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will place a prominent notice (generally in the footer of the Website) indicating that the Privacy Policy has been changed. For new users, the change will become effective upon posting. For existing users, if the change is significant, it will become effective 30 days after posting. We encourage you to regularly review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. We will always show the date of the latest modification of the Privacy Policy at the top of the page so you can tell when it was last revised.
If you have a privacy question, concern, or request, please contact us by email addressed to privacy@motorsport.com or by mail to Motorsport Network LLC, 5972 NE 4th Avenue, Miami, FL 33137, FAO: Data Protection.
