Introduction
This Privacy Notice applies to the personal data of consumers that is collected or used by Ministry Of Superbike or its affiliates or subsidiaries (MOS).

If you do not want MOS to use your personal data that has not been provided by you, you may let us know at any time by contacting us at [email protected]
Sharing your Personal Data with others
We may share your personal data with service providers, business partners and other third parties, in accordance with applicable law.
For example, MOS may sell you a product or offer you a service in a joint marketing effort with another company (Business Partner). We will let you know that such a relationship exists and who these companies are prior to processing your data for such joint marketing efforts.
If we are required by law to obtain your consent, or otherwise believe that your consent is appropriate in the circumstances, we will obtain your consent before we share your personal data.
The agreements with these Business Partners will limit the purposes for which your personal data can be used and disclosed, and will require your personal data to be adequately safeguarded.
MOS will disclose personal data only in conformance with this Privacy Notice and/or when required by law.
From time to time, MOS may sell a business or a part of a business to another company. Such a transfer of ownership could include the transfer of your personal data directly related to that business to the purchasing company.
Your rights
Once you have provided us with your personal data, you have reasonable access to that information so that you can update, modify or, if legally possible, delete it. For MOS you may do this by logging into your account and accessing your “personal settings”, where you can also change your preferences relating to how MOS communicates with you. You may also make these requests regarding your personal data by contacting MOS at [email protected]
You will also be provided with an opt-out opportunity when necessary and we will comply with any local legislation.
We encourage you to keep your personal settings and personal data complete and current.
Your choices
We want to know you better so we can serve you better while at the same time respecting your choices about how we use your personal data.
Your personal data may be transferred from your home country to other MOS companies, in different locations around the world, which may communicate with you about MOS products, services or special offers that you may be interested in. If local law requires it, we will ask for prior consent to transfer your personal data outside of your geographic region.
If you do not want us to send you personalised offers or information, you can let us know by checking the appropriate box on the registration form or reply card, or by selecting “opt-out” on emails you receive.
Where local law requires it, we will ask you to “opt-in” or affirmatively consent to the processing of your personal data. For example, where local law so requires, we will only send you newsletters if you have subscribed to them. Similarly, where local law so requires, we will ask you to “opt-in” before using sophisticated profiling techniques.
Because MOS sells thousands of products in hundreds of countries, you may have previously provided us with your personal data through reply cards, via our call centres or in some other manner. Your decision not to register now will not affect the personal data you have already provided to MOS. Of course, you will always have the option to unsubscribe from any targeted communication from MOS or change your personal profile information.

These websites may operate independently from MOS, and may have their own privacy notices, statements or policies. We strongly suggest that you review them to understand how your personal data may be processed in connection with those sites, as we are not responsible for the content of non-MOS-owned or -managed sites, or the use or privacy practices of those sites.
Cloud
MOS may store your personal data in a cloud. This means that your personal data may be processed on behalf of MOS by a cloud service provider and could be stored in different locations around the world.

MOS uses a variety of security technologies and organisational procedures to help protect your personal data. For example, we implement access controls, use firewalls, secure servers and we encrypt certain types of data, such as financial information and other sensitive data.
Special information for parents
While MOS websites are not generally targeted at children under the age of 16, it is MOS’ policy to comply with the law when it requires parent or guardian permission before children’s information is collected, used or disclosed.
MOS strongly recommends that parents take an active role in supervising the online activities of their children. If you believe we have collected personal data from a person who is under the age of 16, please contact us at [email protected]
