Privacy policy

Who we are

Forest Edge Kart Club, Barton Stacey, Winchester SO21 3BF. The club is the data controller for the information described below. For anything on this page, contact the Competition Secretary at compsec@fekc.co.uk or 07555 112012.

What this website collects

Nothing. These are static pages. There are no accounts, no contact forms, no analytics and no advertising. Fonts, images, stylesheets and scripts are all served from this website rather than from a third party, so reading a page here does not report anything back to anyone at all.

The web host will keep standard server logs, which normally include IP addresses, for security and troubleshooting.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies. Not for analytics, not for preferences, not for anything. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to.

The maps

The track and contact pages can show a Google map of the circuit, but it does not load on its own. You will see a placeholder with a “Load the Google map” button, and nothing is requested from Google until you press it.

If you do press it, Google receives your IP address and may set cookies in your browser at that point. That is your choice to make, and the postcode and full written directions on the page work perfectly well without it. See Google’s privacy policy for what they do with it.

Entries, membership and timing

Race entries, club membership, live timing and results are run for the club by Alpha Timing on their own website. Links from here take you there; nothing is shared with them until you follow one and use their service. When you enter a race you provide your details to Alpha Timing, and the club receives them so it can run the meeting.

Information the club holds about competitors and members

To run race meetings the club needs your name and contact details, your Motorsport UK licence details, your class and race number, and your entries and results. For drivers under 18 the club also holds the parental consent form Motorsport UK requires.

The club uses this to accept entries, run and time the racing, keep championship standings, and meet the requirements that come with holding a Motorsport UK licence. Entry lists and results, which include competitor names and race numbers, are published and stay published as part of the club’s championship record.

Information is shared with Motorsport UK, with the club’s timing and results provider, and with race officials, scrutineers and medical staff where an incident requires it. It is not sold, and it is not passed to anyone else for marketing.

Photography and live streams

Race days are photographed and streamed on YouTube, and images from meetings are used on this website and on the club’s social media. If you are competing, marshalling or spectating you may appear. If you would prefer a particular image was not used, email compsec@fekc.co.uk and the club will take it down.

Young people

Forest Edge runs cadet and junior classes. The club has a Safeguarding Officer, and any concern about the welfare of a young person at the circuit should go to safeguarding@fekc.co.uk.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of what the club holds about you, ask for it to be corrected, ask for it to be deleted, or object to the way it is used. Write to compsec@fekc.co.uk and the club will respond within one month.

If you are not satisfied with the response you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

Changes

Any change to this policy will be published on this page with a new date at the top.
