Where we no longer need your personal data, we will dispose of it in a secure manner.

In some circumstances you are entitled to ask us to delete your personal data: see Your Rights below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your Rights

You have certain rights under existing data protection laws, including the right (following a written request) to access a copy of your personal data that we are processing. In accordance with the UK GDPR your rights may include:

Right to access: the right to request certain information about, access to and copies of the personal data about you that we are holding;
Right to correction: the right to request correction of incomplete or inaccurate personal data that we hold about you;
Right to withdraw consent: the right to withdraw your consent to our processing of the data (if the legal basis for processing is based on your consent);
Right to erasure/“right to be forgotten”: the right to request that we delete or erase your personal data from our systems where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it;
Right to restriction of use: the right to stop us from using your personal data or limit the way in which we can use it;
Right to object to processing: the right to object to our processing of your personal data including for marketing purposes and profiling.

Please note some of the above rights are not absolute and will only apply in certain 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.

You have the right to unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any time by following the link in the footer of the last email you received from one of our brands (“Unsubscribe”) or by sending your request with detailed instructions to us (see contact details above in the Data Controller Details section).

Please note that, if you withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data for purposes set out in our Privacy Policy, we may not be able to carry out our contractual obligations to you or provide you with access to all or certain parts of the F1^® Arcade and F1^® Box Services.

If you consider our use of your personal data to be unlawful, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK’s supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are aimed at children ages 13+ and you will only be able to create a driver profile if you are this age or above. However, if your parent provides us you’re your email address and name to transfer a ticket to you, we will need to process your personal data in order to process the transfer. We will process your personal data in the same ways described above and you will also have all the same rights as above. If you are unsure about what we are doing, please contact us or ask your parent/guardian.

We will ensure that safeguards are in place when marketing any products or services to you and we will not carry out any profiling with your personal data.
