Third party links

Our website may contain links to other websites provided by third parties not under our control. When following a link and providing information to a 3rd-party website, please be aware that we are not responsible for the data provided to that third party. This privacy policy only applies to the websites listed at the beginning of this document, so when you visit other websites, even when you click on a link posted on ScorchRacingLV.com, you should read their own privacy policies.

Privacy policy changes

Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.

How we protect your data

While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so. We limit access of sensitive information to the minimum amount of key Website administrators and ScorchRacingLV.com members needed to operate our sites and process event-related information.

We maintain our Website regularly and implement security features provided by our Web host and related third party entities, as they become available. We use SSL/HTTPS throughout all our sites. This encrypts our user communications with the servers so personal identifiable information is never captured by third parties without authorization.

What data breach procedures we have in place

In case of a data breach, System administrators will immediately go through affected users and will attempt to reset passwords, if needed, after informing the user.

What third parties we receive data from

Our Websites may allow you to enter social networking websites such as Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. If you choose to follow, like, friend, share, or comment on our social media websites, or otherwise share information on these social networking websites, we may receive information about you. This information will be used to connect with you, and/or to enhance the user experience on our sites or during our events. We may also receive information from our payment processing gateways, which will be used in processing your order.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

We do not use automated decision making or profiling. We reserve the right to implement these activities in the future, at which time, we will update our policies to provide transparency as to what our automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data.
