Data handling
Privacy, by design.
How the directory separates public business information from private contributor and commercial contact data.
Information we collect
Submission, claim, rating, checkout and contact forms collect the information you provide, including your name, email address, company, role and message. Business profiles may contain public company information obtained from official sources or supplied by authorised representatives.
How it is used
We use submitted information to review directory records, verify ownership and comments, process featured-listing purchases, respond to enquiries, prevent abuse and improve data quality. Private contributor and billing details are not published on business profiles.
Payments
Featured-listing payments are processed by Stripe. The directory records order and subscription references but does not receive or store full payment-card details. Stripe applies its own privacy and security terms to checkout.
Ratings and moderation
A reviewer’s display name, rating and approved comment may be published. Their email remains private and is used only for verification, moderation and abuse prevention. Rejected or disputed comments may be retained while a moderation decision is documented.
Accuracy and corrections
Businesses and individuals may request corrections to inaccurate public information. Evidence may be requested where a change affects ownership, identity or the status of a business.
Retention and contact
Review and order records are retained only while needed for directory operations, accountability and legal obligations. Privacy questions can be sent to directory@motorracingindustry.com.
