Information you provide to us
4.2 We will use this information to perform the contract we have entered into with you – i.e. to contact you (including as necessary to send you tickets you have booked through us) and to verify your identity when you visit our racecourse.
4.3 We may also use this information in other ways when it is in our legitimate interests to do so – i.e. so we can respond to your enquiries or to process your requests in relation to your information. Where we don’t need (under applicable data protection law) to gain your express consent to send you marketing materials or other information about our racecourse or events, we will do so again in order to achieve our legitimate interests.

4.5 We may (in circumstances where we do not have another legal basis on which to do so) ask you to consent to us processing your information – e.g. when sending you marketing materials from time to time or to process your health data in order to administer your visit to our racecourse. If we do so, we will provide you with details of the information that we would like and the reason(s) we need it, so that you can consider whether you wish to consent. As we will explain at the time we collect any such consent, you have the right to withdraw the consent you have provided at any time.
4.6 If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have entered into with you (such as selling you tickets), or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations (such as to ensure the health and safety of visitors to our racecourse). If you withdraw your consent to us processing your personal information (where consent has been provided), that might also have an impact on our ability to permit you to visit our racecourse.
4.7 Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.
