1. Who we are
Sabotage Media, trading as Sabotage Racing, is the data controller responsible for personal information collected through this website.

 

2. Information we may collect
Depending on how you use the website, we may collect:

• Information you provide when contacting us, joining a mailing list or completing a form, such as your name, email address and message.

• Cookie preferences and consent records.

• Information you voluntarily provide when making an enquiry about the Sabotage Academy, partnerships, community or other services.

Please do not provide sensitive personal information through the website unless we specifically request it.

3. How we collect information

We collect information:

• Directly from you when you submit a form, subscribe or contact us.

• Automatically through cookies and similar technologies.

• Through website, analytics, security and hosting services provided by Wix and other approved service providers.

• When you interact with embedded content, including YouTube videos.

4. How we use your information

We may use personal information to:

• Operate, maintain and secure the website.

• Respond to enquiries and communicate with you.

• Provide information you have requested.

• Manage mailing-list or Academy early-access subscriptions.

• Understand how visitors use the website and improve its content and performance.

• Protect our rights, prevent misuse and comply with legal obligations.

5. Our lawful bases

Under UK data-protection law, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases:

• Consent: where you agree to receive marketing communications or allow optional analytics and marketing cookies.

• Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary to operate, improve and protect the website, respond to enquiries and develop Sabotage Racing, provided those interests do not override your rights.

• Contract: where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement or to fulfil an agreement with you.

• Legal obligation: where we must process or retain information to comply with the law.

You may withdraw your consent at any time.

6. Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Essential cookies may be used to provide core functionality, security and accessibility. Optional cookies, including analytics or marketing cookies, should only be used after you have provided consent through the website’s cookie banner.

You can accept, reject or manage optional cookies using the controls provided on the website. You can also change your browser settings to block or remove cookies, although this may affect some website features.

7. Wix

Our website is built and hosted using Wix. Wix may process technical, usage and other personal information on our behalf to provide hosting, security, analytics and website functionality.

Information may be stored through Wix’s data storage, databases and applications. Wix acts as a data processor in relation to information it processes on our instructions, although it may act as an independent controller for certain activities described in its own privacy policy.

8. Embedded content and external websites

The website may contain embedded YouTube videos and links to external services including YouTube, Discord, Instagram and TikTok.

Embedded content may allow the relevant provider to collect technical or usage information, place cookies or record your interaction with that content. Where required, this content and its associated non-essential cookies should remain disabled until you provide consent.

When you follow an external link, the other organisation’s privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.

9. Sharing your information

We may share personal information with trusted service providers where necessary, including:

• Wix, for website hosting, security and functionality.

• Google and YouTube, where video content or related services are used.

• Analytics, email and communication providers.

• Professional advisers where reasonably necessary.

• Regulators, courts or law-enforcement bodies where required by law.

We do not sell your personal information.

Service providers may only use information for the agreed purpose and must handle it securely.

10. International transfers

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate legal safeguard is used, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections.

11. How long we retain information

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

As a general guide:

• Contact enquiries may be retained for up to 24 months following the final communication.

• Mailing-list information is retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent.

• A minimal suppression record may be retained to ensure that an unsubscribe request continues to be respected.

• Technical and security records may be retained for up to 12 months unless longer retention is necessary to investigate misuse or meet a legal obligation.

• Cookie-consent and analytics information is retained according to our website settings and the relevant provider’s retention periods.

Information may be retained for longer where required by law or in connection with a legal claim.

12. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.

However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information.

• Complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

To exercise your rights, contact us using the details provided in this policy. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

14. Marketing communications

We will only send electronic marketing communications where we have an appropriate lawful basis.

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the link provided in an email or contacting us directly. Withdrawing consent will not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.
