1. Introduction

Rennsport Market is an online marketplace operated by Rennsport Media & Marketing, a business based in the United Kingdom. The platform enables individuals, motorsport teams, dealers and businesses to advertise race cars and related vehicles for sale, upload photographs, publish vehicle information and communicate with prospective buyers.

We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose and protect personal information when you visit rennsport.market, create an account, advertise a vehicle, contact a seller or purchase advertising services.

For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, the individual operating Rennsport Media & Marketing is the data controller for personal information processed in connection with the operation of Rennsport Market.

This policy is intended to comply with applicable UK data protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and applicable privacy and electronic communications legislation.

Where the law requires consent for a particular activity, such as certain cookies or electronic marketing, we will seek that consent separately. Using our website does not automatically constitute consent to every type of processing described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly, information generated through your use of the website and, where appropriate, information received from relevant service providers.

2.1 Account Information

When you register for a Rennsport Market account, we may collect:

• Your name and username.
• Your email address and telephone number, where provided.
• Your account credentials and authentication information.
• Your account preferences and settings.
• Information relating to account activity and status.
• Communications you send to our support team.

We use this information to establish and manage accounts, provide access to website features, communicate with users and maintain platform security.

2.2 Vehicle Listings and Advertisements

When you publish an advertisement, we may collect and process information including:

• Vehicle make, model, year and specification.
• Asking price and applicable currency.
• Vehicle condition, history, modifications and motorsport background.
• Competition history, racing class and technical specifications.
• Photographs and other media uploaded by you.
• Vehicle location or the area in which it is available for viewing.
• Seller name, business name and contact information.
• Listing descriptions and other information you choose to include.
• Listing creation dates, updates, publication status and related account records.

You are responsible for ensuring that the information and media you submit are accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the necessary rights and permissions to publish them.

2.3 Seller Contact Information

Rennsport Market allows sellers to provide contact information so that interested buyers can enquire about advertised vehicles. Depending on the information supplied and the features enabled, this may include a seller's name, business name, email address, telephone number or other contact details.

Information deliberately displayed in a public advertisement may be visible to anyone visiting the website. You should therefore consider carefully which contact details you wish to publish.

2.4 Buyer Enquiries and Messages

When visitors contact sellers through the website, we may process the information included in those communications, including the sender's name, contact details, message content and the vehicle listing concerned.

We may retain relevant communications and associated technical records where necessary to operate the messaging service, investigate reported misuse, maintain security or resolve disputes.

If you subsequently communicate directly with another user outside Rennsport Market, that communication may fall outside our systems and control.

2.5 Payment and Billing Information

Rennsport Market charges sellers for advertising services and listings.

When you purchase a listing or another paid service, we may collect information necessary to administer the transaction, such as your name, email address, billing information, selected service, payment amount, transaction reference, payment status and relevant invoice records.

Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Payment card details and other payment credentials are handled through Stripe's payment services in accordance with the applicable Stripe arrangements. We do not intend to store full payment card details on our own systems.

2.6 Technical and Usage Information

When you use our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• IP address.
• Browser type and version.
• Device type and operating system.
• Pages visited and links selected.
• Date, time and duration of visits.
• Referring website or traffic source.
• Website performance information and error reports.
• Security logs and information relating to suspected unauthorised activity.

We use this information to maintain website functionality, improve performance, understand how the platform is used and protect against fraud, abuse and security threats.

2.7 Information Received from Others

Where lawful and appropriate, we may receive information from payment providers, technical service providers or users who report an advertisement or account. This may include payment confirmations, fraud indicators, reports of misleading advertisements and information needed to investigate potential breaches of our website rules.

3. How We Use Personal Information

• Account administration: To register users, manage accounts, authenticate access and provide website features.
• Advertising services: To receive, administer, publish, update and remove vehicle listings and to provide paid advertising services to sellers.
• Buyer and seller communications: To enable or facilitate enquiries about advertised vehicles and support communications relating to listings.
• Payment administration: To process listing purchases, confirm payments, manage invoices, handle refunds where applicable and maintain appropriate financial records.
• Moderation and platform integrity: To review advertisements where reasonably practicable, investigate reports, identify suspicious activity and take appropriate action against listings that may breach our rules or applicable law.
• Website maintenance: To monitor website performance, resolve errors, improve functionality and develop our services.
• Security and fraud prevention: To protect accounts, investigate suspected fraud, prevent spam and respond to unauthorised access or misuse.
• Customer support: To respond to questions, complaints, technical issues and requests concerning our services or personal information.
• Legal compliance: To comply with legal obligations and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• Marketing: To communicate promotional offers and relevant services where permitted by law and, where required, with your consent.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Under the UK GDPR, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on the circumstances.

• Contractual necessity: Processing necessary to provide services you request, administer your account or fulfil our agreement with you.
• Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests, including operating and improving Rennsport Market, maintaining security, preventing fraud, administering customer relationships and enforcing platform rules, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
• Consent: Processing based on your consent, where consent is the appropriate legal basis, including certain non-essential cookies and marketing activities.
• Legal obligations: Processing necessary to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements.
• Legal claims: Processing necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims where permitted under applicable law.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

5. Public Advertisements and User-Uploaded Content

Rennsport Market is designed to make race car advertisements accessible to prospective buyers and other website visitors.

Information included in published advertisements may be publicly accessible, including vehicle descriptions, photographs, asking prices, seller names, business details and contact information supplied by the advertiser.

Public listings may be indexed by search engines, copied, shared or stored by third parties. We cannot guarantee that removing an advertisement from Rennsport Market will remove every copy or cached version available elsewhere on the internet.

We may review advertisements before publication or after publication, where reasonably practicable and within a reasonable timeframe. We may also investigate complaints or reports concerning potentially misleading, unlawful, inappropriate or unauthorised content.

However, we cannot guarantee that every advertisement, photograph, statement or item of information will be reviewed or verified before it becomes available to the public. Any monitoring we undertake does not amount to a guarantee that an advertisement is accurate, genuine, lawful or complete.

Users are responsible for the content they submit and for ensuring they have the rights and permissions necessary to publish it. We do not independently guarantee the accuracy of seller-provided information, the ownership or condition of an advertised vehicle, the authenticity of photographs or the identity and intentions of a seller.

Where we become aware of content that may be unlawful, misleading, fraudulent, unauthorised or in breach of our policies, we may investigate and take appropriate action, including requesting corrections, restricting visibility, suspending an account or removing the relevant advertisement.

Nothing in this policy excludes or limits any legal responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

6. How We Share Personal Information

We do not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for payment. We may share information where necessary for the operation of Rennsport Market, as explained below.

6.1 With Website Visitors and Other Users

Information included in public advertisements is shared with website visitors as part of the marketplace service.

When a buyer contacts a seller, relevant message content and contact information may be made available to the intended recipient to facilitate the enquiry.

6.2 With Stripe

We use Stripe to process payments for paid listings and advertising services. Information necessary to process a transaction may be shared with Stripe, including relevant identity, contact, billing, payment and transaction information.

Stripe may also process information for its own purposes, including fraud prevention, security, regulatory compliance and the operation of its services. Where Stripe acts as an independent data controller, its own privacy terms apply to that processing. You can read Stripe's Privacy Policy and find further information through the Stripe Privacy Centre.

6.3 With Technical and Business Service Providers

We may share relevant information with providers that support our website and business, including hosting companies, email delivery services, website maintenance providers, security services and other technical suppliers.

Where a provider processes personal information on our behalf, we will put appropriate contractual arrangements and safeguards in place where required by law.

6.4 For Legal, Security and Regulatory Reasons

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, investigate suspected fraud or unlawful conduct, protect users or other individuals, or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

6.5 Business Transfers

If Rennsport Market or the relevant business assets are sold, transferred or reorganised, personal information may be disclosed to relevant prospective or actual purchasers or professional advisers, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.

7. International Transfers

Some third-party providers, including payment and technical service providers, may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take the steps required by applicable data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, these may include relying on an applicable adequacy decision, using an approved international data transfer agreement or addendum, or implementing other appropriate safeguards.

You may contact us if you require further information about relevant international transfers and the safeguards used. Information that you publish publicly may also be accessed by people in other countries through the internet.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, taking into account applicable legal requirements and the need to maintain appropriate business and security records. In general:

• Account information is retained while an account is active and for an appropriate period afterwards where necessary for administration, security, dispute resolution or legal compliance.
• Vehicle advertisements and photographs are retained while listings are active and may be retained for a reasonable period after removal where necessary for record-keeping, security or legal purposes.
• Buyer enquiries and correspondence are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to administer communications, investigate complaints and resolve disputes.
• Payment and accounting records are retained for the periods required by applicable tax, accounting and other legal obligations.
• Technical and security records are retained for a period appropriate to the purpose for which they were collected.
• Marketing preferences and consent records are retained as necessary to honour your choices and demonstrate compliance.

Retention periods may vary according to the circumstances. When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or anonymise it unless we have a lawful reason to retain it.

Deleting an account or advertisement may not immediately remove information that must be retained for legal, accounting, security or dispute-resolution purposes.

9. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Rennsport Market may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functionality, account authentication, security, user preferences and, where enabled, website analytics.

Cookies are small files stored on your device by your browser. Some expire when you close your browser, while others remain for a longer period. Depending on the technologies implemented on our website, cookies may be used for:

• Maintaining login sessions and account security.
• Remembering user preferences.
• Supporting essential website functionality.
• Understanding website performance and usage.
• Measuring advertising or marketing performance, where applicable.

Where required by law, we will obtain consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through our website's cookie preference controls. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

The precise cookies used will depend on the website's actual configuration and the services enabled. We will ensure that any separate cookie notice or preference tool reflects the technologies in use.

10. Marketing Communications

We may send service-related messages necessary to operate your account or provide services you have purchased or requested. These may include payment confirmations, listing updates, account notifications, security messages and important policy changes.

We may also send promotional emails about Rennsport Market, new features, listing opportunities or related services where permitted by law. Where consent is legally required for electronic marketing, we will obtain it before sending such communications.

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by using an unsubscribe link where provided or by contacting support@rennsport.marketing. Opting out of marketing will not prevent us from sending essential service-related or administrative communications.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. These measures may include access restrictions, secure hosting, authentication controls, software maintenance, backups and security monitoring, as appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved.

Payments are processed through Stripe's payment infrastructure. The security of payment processing also depends on the applicable services and arrangements provided by Stripe.

No internet-based service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should protect their account credentials and contact us promptly if they suspect unauthorised access to their account.

If a personal data breach occurs, we will assess and respond to it in accordance with applicable legal requirements, including any relevant notification obligations.

12. Your Data Protection Rights

Under applicable UK data protection law, you may have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Erasure: Request deletion of personal information where the legal conditions are met.
• Restriction: Request that certain processing be restricted in specified circumstances.
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests in circumstances provided by law.
• Data portability: Receive certain information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format where the relevant conditions apply.
• Withdraw consent: Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
• Complain: Raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office.

These rights are subject to applicable conditions and exceptions. We may need to retain some information to comply with legal obligations, maintain appropriate records or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

To exercise your rights, email support@rennsport.marketing with the subject line “Privacy Request”. We may ask for reasonable information to verify your identity and understand your request. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
