A1 Holdings Limited (“A1GP”) is committed to preserving the privacy of all visitors to our website at www.a1gp.com (the “Website”). Please read the following privacy policy (“Policy”) to understand how we use and protect the information that you provide to us. Please be aware that this Policy only governs our use of your data on this Website; it does not extend to the use of data submitted to or through any third party websites to which we may provide links.

By registering or placing an order on this site for any goods or services (including merchandise and tickets), you consent to the collection, use and transfer of your information under the terms of this Policy.

INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT FROM YOU

When you visit the Website, register for the A1GP Fanzone, any other A1GP forum or the A1GP newsletter, or order merchandise, services or tickets on this Website, you may be asked to provide certain information about yourself including your name, contact details, gender, preferences and credit or debit card information. We may also collect information about your usage of the Website as well as information about you from messages you post to any forum or message board and e-mails, letters and other communications you send to us.

USE OF YOUR INFORMATION

Your information will enable us to provide you with access to all parts of our Website and to supply the goods or services you have requested. It will also enable us to bill you and to contact you where necessary concerning your orders. We will also use and analyse the information we collect so that we can administer, support, improve and develop A1GP World Cup of Motorsport and the goods and services we provide to you.

In particular, we may use your information to contact you for your views on our products and services and to notify you occasionally about important changes or developments to the Website or our products or services. Further, where you have specifically “opted in”, we might also use your information to let you know about other products and services which we offer which may be of interest to you and we may contact you by post, telephone or fax, as well as by e-mail. If you change your mind about being contacted in the future, please let us know.

If you register with the A1 Fan Club your information will be used to help us contact you in connection with the A1 Fan Club.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

The information you provide to us will be held on our computers and may be accessed by or given to our staff working outside the UK and third parties including companies within the A1GP group (some of whom are located outside the European Economic Area) who act for us for the purposes set out in this Policy or for other purposes approved by you. Those parties process information, fulfil and deliver orders, process credit card payments and provide support services on our behalf. We may also pass aggregate information on the usage of our Website to third parties but this will not include information that can be used to identify you. Please note that if you submit your data to us, you will be giving your consent to the transfer of the data outside the EEA.

Where you have consented by “opting in” when providing us with your details, we may also allow carefully selected third parties, including in particular our commercial partners and sponsors and other companies in our group, to contact you occasionally about products and services which may be of interest to you. They may contact you by post, telephone or fax, as well as by e-mail. If you change your mind about being contacted by these companies in the future, please let us know.

Finally, if our business enters into a joint venture with or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed to our new business partners or owners.

Countries outside the European Economic Area and the USA do not always have strong data protection laws. However, we will always take steps to ensure that your information is used by third parties in accordance with this Policy. Unless required to do so by law, we will not otherwise share, sell or distribute any of the information you provide to us without your consent.

COOKIES

You may set up your computer to reject cookies that could be used to identify you, although if you do so, you may not be able to use certain features on our Website.
