We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, and use personal information when you visit our website or contact us.

2. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information.
Each time our website is accessed, our server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which includes the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, the amount of data transmitted, and the requesting provider (access data).

This data is used exclusively to ensure the smooth operation of the website and to improve our services, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. All access data is deleted within seven days after your visit.

Third-Party Hosting

Our website is hosted by a service provider located within the European Union or European Economic Area (EEA).
All data collected on our website is processed on secure servers under our control or that of our hosting provider.

3. Collection and Use of Data

We collect personal data when you provide it voluntarily — for example, when placing an order, creating a customer account, or contacting us by email.

Mandatory fields are marked as such because we need this information to process your request or fulfill a contract. The specific data collected is shown on the respective input forms.

We process this data in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for contract fulfillment or handling your inquiries.
After the contract has been fully processed, or your customer account deleted, your data will be restricted from further processing and deleted after the legally required retention periods (e.g. tax or commercial law) unless you have given explicit consent for further use.

You may request deletion of your customer account at any time by contacting us at info@artofracing.eu.

4. Data Transfer

To fulfill your order under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, we share your data with shipping and payment service providers only to the extent necessary for delivery and payment processing.

If you choose a payment provider (e.g. PayPal), that provider may collect and process your data independently. In such cases, the privacy policy of the respective payment provider applies.

If a service provider is located outside the EU or EEA, data transfer occurs only when it is necessary to fulfill a contract or under an adequacy decision such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
