Alpha Timing may collect and / or access the following data on behalf of our clients:
We manage the above data on behalf of our clients so they can manage their race entries, bookings, event administration, communications with their clients, timing of events, the publication of event results online, reporting, and safe storage of the data to meet contractual and legal obligations.
In certain circumstances, a client of Alpha may request to merge customer data to improve the accuracy and integrity of their records. In such cases, Alpha may access personal data to determine how best to perform the requested data merge. This ensures that data is combined in a way that is both effective and compliant with data protection obligations.
If you are from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above depends on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
We will collect personal information only where we have your consent to do so, or where processing is in our or our customers’ legitimate interests, which are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may have a legal obligation to collect the information. If we ask for personal information to comply with a legal requirement, we will make it clear and advise if provision is mandatory and outline the consequences of not providing the information.
Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our or our customers’ legitimate interests, and those interests are not already listed above (in the"What Do We Use Your Data For?" section), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
We keep your data for as long as our clients instruct us to. We automatically delete data in accordance with the instructions provided by our clients. For example if one of our clients instructs us to delete data after two years after the date of your last entry or booking then our systems will perform that function automatically.
Our clients may use our timing system for timing of their events. Our timing system may use the following information provided by you via our online entry system on behalf of our clients: Name, Race Number, Class,Town, Club, Engine Name, Chassis Name. Our software will generate information such as position, lap times, session results, overall event results, and championship tables. This generated data, along with the information you provide, may be published online in the public domain on behalf of our clients. This information (race and event results) may be published online indefinitely due to the public and historical interest in the results.
Our clients may use our barcode scanning system for tracking tyre, chassis, engine, and other equipment usage at their events. Barcodes on the side of tyres, engines, chassis or vehicles may be logged against your name, license number, race number, and class at venues/championships using our barcoding software. This information may be shared with national governing bodies to provide aggregated information about tyre usage within their jurisdiction.
We are committed to ensuring your information is secure. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.
