Privacy Policy for Celtic Racing News

This Privacy Policy explains how Celtic Racing News collects, uses, stores, protects and processes information when visitors use our website, explore race coverage, submit requests or communicate through website forms. We handle personal information responsibly and only for legitimate business purposes connected with Formula 1 news, events, academy briefings, championship coverage and customer support in the United States. Celtic Racing News brings you the latest Formula 1 updates, race results, driver news, team stories, and motorsport highlights, based at 770 Admiral Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64106, United States.

By using the website you acknowledge this policy. Where law requires consent for a specific activity, we will request that consent before processing. This policy applies to the Celtic Racing News website and online features that reference it. It does not automatically apply to third-party websites we do not control. We aim to be transparent, proportionate and respectful of applicable U.S. privacy expectations, including Missouri law and, where relevant, rights available to visitors from other states.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information you provide voluntarily, such as name, preferred contact method, town, constructor list, story category, scheduling preferences, championships, experience notes, arrival details and other information needed to understand a request. For recaps, weekend packages, academy briefings or events we may also collect approximate session count, source names, embargo notes and extras such as headlines or photos. Job applications may include work history, availability and the desk roles you are comfortable performing.

Avoid sending government identity numbers, medical records, or unnecessary details about minors through open forms unless a confirmed booking requires a parent contact and age check. Technical information may be collected automatically, including IP-related data, browser and device type, language, approximate region, pages viewed, timing, navigation patterns and error logs. Cookies and similar tools may support essential functions, preferences, performance measurement and security. Non-essential cookies are used only after an appropriate choice where required.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to respond to inquiries, prepare estimates, schedule briefings, assign editors, understand group needs, manage changes, document files, arrange beats and maintain consistent sourcing. Preference notes may cover first-time fans, academy sides, private hire or times when a group can arrive. We may also use information for customer support, quality review, website operation, spam prevention, security, service improvement, administration and legal compliance.

Legal grounds may include steps requested before a booking, performance of a service contract, legitimate interests that are not overridden by individual rights, consent where required and legal obligations such as accounting or incident records. We do not use your enquiry details to build unrelated advertising profiles. We do not sell personal information. Results and unpublished notes are used to run the briefing you booked and are not published with your name unless you ask for a public championship table.

3. Sharing, Retention and Security

Celtic Racing News does not sell personal information for unrelated purposes. Information may be shared with hosting and technical providers, scheduling or administrative providers, editors who need it to run the briefing, professional advisers and authorities when legally required. Personnel should receive only what is needed for their role on a given race night. If a payment provider processes a card payment, they receive the billing details required for that task.

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, briefing management, incident records, disputes, legal rights and compliance. When no longer needed, we may delete, anonymise or restrict it. A one-off recap enquiry is generally kept for a shorter period than records needed for recurring championships or unresolved complaints. We use reasonable safeguards against unauthorised access, loss, disclosure and misuse, but no online system is completely secure. Please use strong unique passwords for your own email accounts and avoid sharing unnecessary sensitive details.

4. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict personal information, object to certain processing, request a copy of information we hold, withdraw consent where consent is the basis, or complain to a privacy authority. Rights are not absolute and may require identity verification. We may need reasonable information to locate records and confirm authority before acting on a request. If you ask us to delete details that we still need for a live booking, unpaid invoice or legal claim, we may retain what the law allows until that purpose ends.

The website is intended for adults arranging news briefings. Do not submit unnecessary information about children. If you provide details about another person, ensure you are authorised to do so. Photographs sent for event planning should avoid bystanders and private documents. Privately submitted photos are not used for public advertising without separate permission.

5. Updates and Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy when services, technology, providers or legal requirements change. Updates may be published on the website. Review the policy before submitting new personal information. Celtic Racing News aims to limit unnecessary collection, restrict access and maintain meaningful transparency about how news enquiry data is handled. If a change is material, we may highlight it on the website or mention it when you next make a booking.

6. Practical Examples

A visitor who only reads coverage pages may generate technical and usage data without providing a name. A visitor who requests a weekend package may provide constructor list, championships and arrival notes. We use those details to evaluate the request, prepare an estimate and plan a fair, exciting briefing. Commercial customers should avoid including confidential employee files in general enquiry forms. Residential customers should avoid sharing unnecessary information about family routines.

If Celtic Racing News receives unnecessary sensitive information, we may delete, restrict or avoid using it where reasonably possible. Aggregated or de-identified statistics may be used to improve website clarity without identifying a particular visitor. Nothing in this policy limits a privacy right that cannot lawfully be limited.
