personal information. This Privacy Notice relates to our use of any personal
information you provide to us through the Haymarket network of websites and/or other services provided by Haymarket.
In order to provide you with the full range of services, we may request and/or

Many Haymarket websites contain hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by
third parties. These third party websites have their own privacy notices and we
encourage you to review them. We do not accept any responsibility or liability
for the privacy practices of such third party websites and your use of such
websites is at your own risk.
2. What type of personal information is
collected?
When you sign up to participate in or receive a service from any Haymarket
website, such as a newsletter, competition, forum we will ask for limited
personal information. We will also collect personal information from you when
you subscribe to one of our magazines and when you communicate with us over the
telephone or via written correspondence. This can include information such as
your name, postal address, telephone or mobile number, fax number, email
address, gender or date of birth. Different Haymarket websites may ask for
different pieces of personal information. By entering your details in the fields
requested, you enable Haymarket and its service providers to provide you with
the services you select.
3. How will the information be used?
Haymarket will use your personal information for a number of non-marketing
purposes including the following:
- we may contact you for service related reasons that you have
subscribed to, signed up for, or participate in (e.g. to make you aware of any
delays in your subscription arriving on time, reminding you of a password or
username, or about a comment you have made on a website.);
- to invite you to share your opinions and comments through a
research study about the level of service you receive from us;
- to track traffic flows and to make our websites easier for you
to use;
- to fulfil subscription orders;
- to provide a user online community; and for
- planning and managing our business activities by understanding
aggregated analysis on behaviour and habits;
We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group which
includes our subsidiaries as defined in section 1159 of the Companies Act 2006
4. Will I be contacted for marketing
purposes?
Yes. Haymarket may use the information you have provided to promote the products
and services of Haymarket or others.
However, be assured that we understand the irritations of unsolicited
communications and are fully committed to ensuring the rights and obligations
set out in the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Privacy and Electronic
Communications Regulations 2003 are respected.
If you don’t want it, you won’t get it. Any marketing communication you
receive will always include a clear, simple option to refuse, or ‘opt-out’ of
such future communications. You may also opt-out at ANY time by contacting us
(see below).
The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and the Mailing Preference Service (MPS)
offer consumers important statutory and non-statutory protection against
unsolicited marketing contact. If you are registered on either service,
Haymarket will assume that your subsequent submission of personal data via a Haymarket website or data
capture form indicates, for the time being, your consent to receive marketing by
us. You may opt-out at ANY time by
contacting us (see below).
5. Will Haymarket share my information
with anyone else?
Haymarket may disclose your personal data where it believes it is compelled to
do so by law; in particular for the prevention or detection of crime, the
capture or prosecution of offenders; and the assessment or collection of tax or
duty.
Occasionally, we may share your contact information with carefully selected
third party companies whose products and services we feel may be of interest to
you. We will keep these offers relevant to your interests. It's easy to
unsubscribe from any email or mobile messages you no longer want. (see below).
We use a number of third party organisations to help provide a professional
service to our customers (i.e. fulfilment bureaus, call centres, and website
designers). These organizations act as data processors and are strictly
controlled in how they may/may not use your personal data. We remain responsible
for the protection of your data.
Please note that some of our partners may be located outside the European
Economic Area (EEA). Countries outside the EEA may not be required to protect
personal information as stringently as countries inside.
