Industry regulatory disclosure requirements

Legitimate interests
Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR is relevant in this case, as it states that we may process your data where
“is necessary for the legitimate interest of the data controller [us] or of a third party, provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject [you] which require the protection of personal data do not prevail”.
In our opinion, none of the following activities can harm people in any way; in fact, they help us to offer you a more personalized and effective service, which is beneficial to all! However, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data.
Personal data
We believe it is reasonable to anticipate that if you are looking for news about e-Sports and in particular in e-Racing, you will be happy to know that we collect and use your information to offer or provide fresh news to you, that we share this information as soon as possibile.
We would like to provide you with personalised advice and readable articles to help you find the most exiting news for the net. We therefore consider it reasonable to process your data to ensure that we provide you with the most appropriate content.
Customer data
To ensure that we provide you with the best possible service, we keep your details and/or those of your company’s individual contacts and keep track of conversations, meetings, recorded jobs and entries. From time to time we may also ask you to respond to a customer satisfaction survey. We believe that this is reasonable because we believe that these methods of using the data are necessary for our legitimate interests as a supplier of personnel selection services
Consent
In some circumstances we are obliged to ask your consent for the processing of data in relation to certain activities and in particular:

  • you must give us your consent freely, without any kind of pressure from us you will need to know what you are consenting to and therefore we will ensure that we provide you with sufficient information,

Establish, exercise or defend a legal right
Sometimes it may be necessary to process the data and, where appropriate and in accordance with applicable local laws and requirements, to process sensitive data in connection with the exercise or defence of legal rights. Article 9(2)(f) of the GDPR allows this when processing “is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of rights in judicial proceedings or whenever judicial authorities exercise their judicial functions”.
This may be the case, for example, where it is necessary to seek legal advice in connection with judicial proceedings or where the law requires certain information to be kept or disclosed in the course of judicial proceedings.
