You can opt out of receiving such communications by amending your marketing preferences in your account details, by clicking on the unsubscribe link on all such communications, or by contacting us. If you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, we will still be able to contact you in respect of the Events that you have registered for.
      2. We may from time to time use targeted marketing to display relevant adverts or messages on the site based on your account details and Event attendance.
      3. You may receive marketing material from an Event Organiser under the terms of their contract with you, and this should be dealt with in the relevant Organiser’s privacy notice. We are not responsible for how an Organiser handles your personal data, but please do [contact us] if you think you are receiving inappropriate messages as we may be able to help.
    3. Internal research and analysis.

      We strive to improve every day, and as a result we look at how you use Horse Monkey, and how we can make it better for you, Organisers and ourselves. This is generally done by way of aggregate and anonymised data, but may involve looking at individual user data.

    4. Aggregated and anonymised data.

      We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose (“Aggregated Data”). Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific feature, or the number of users registering for certain types of Events. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

  6. How we protect your personal information

    1. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
    2. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
  7. Storage

    1. We will keep all your personal data contained in your account for so long as your account is active, and then for an additional period not exceeding [six years]. This is because we may need it to deal with any disputes or insurance claims. Once your account is deactivated, the personal information contained within it will not be available to Organisers.
    2. Please note that your information may be retained within Event documentation as to attendees, competitors and results and this information will not be automatically deleted as it has historical and statistical value.
  8. Your rights

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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 may object to our processing of your personal data. 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.

    5. 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:

      1. if you want us to establish the data's accuracy;
      2. where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
      3. where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
      4. you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
    6. 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.

    7. Withdraw consent at any time.

      Where we are relying on consent to process your personal data you may withdraw this consent at any time. 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.

    8. How to exercise your rights.
      1. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us. If you are submitting a data subject access request it would be helpful if you could complete a copy of our subject access request form which can be found here. This will enable us to identify and deal with your request much more quickly.
      2. 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 may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
      3. 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.
      4. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may 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.
    9. Your right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

      You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (“ICO”), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
