What is General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?

 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a series of changes to the way that data is captured, used and managed, for all individuals in the UK and EU.  The purpose of this regulation is to give all individuals increased control over the personal data that can be captured and used.  The wording specifically includes data processors and data controllers. Information that is stored in a “cloud” or in a separate physical location is still subject to penalties.  Regardless of who has determined how your information will be used and who actually uses it, fines can still be imposed for misuse if it concerns the data of UK and EU citizens.

​


When does this come into effect?

​

25th May 2018 - this is the final deadline and there is no transitional or grace period after this date.

​

Any organisation that holds, collects or uses customer data for their marketing or business communications will need to review their processes and ensure they are compliant by this deadline.  In the worst case scenario, the associated fines of non-compliance are up to €20 million or 4% of your global turnover, whichever is greater.  

 

If this does happen you are fully entitled to report them to Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk.

​


What do I need to do?

​

All we ask is that you read our privacy policy so that you are aware of what we will use your data for and agree for us to use it to contact you. 

 

By agreeing to our privacy policy you show that you:

​

  • understand that you have given consent

  • understand what you give consent to

  • know there are no important details hidden within any 'small print'.

  • know there is a simple method of opting out

​

If you are not happy with this, please contact us to discuss this further:

via email (racing@redlodgekarting.com)


If you have read our privacy policy and you are happy with this, please continue to read down this page to the end for further instructions.
 


Have I got to do this?

​

According to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) guidelines, consent must be given freely, without coercion, undue incentives or a penalty for refusal.  Red Lodge Karting must clarify what you are agreeing to, and offer a positive statement of choice signifying that agreement.

​

  • We cannot assume Opting In by pre-ticked boxes or client inactivity.

  • We cannot email or text you more than once asking for consent as these messages would then constitute direct marketing messages.

  • You do not have to agree to our privacy policy or the way in which we contact you.

 

If this is your decision to be removed from our records, please contact us via email.  If you are happy to proceed and agree to our privacy policy, please continue.



I'm still really not sure...

​

We understand if you are not sure - we are here to discuss any concerns you have.  Let us assure you, we will NEVER sell your data or let anybody have access to it.  By opting in, it just allows us to contact you by any means that you have provided us with.  You also have the option to be forgotten, i.e. you can ask to have all the data we hold for you removed and destroyed.  We suggest you contact us to discuss this further if this is your wish.
