We use this information to provide services, to give you a better experience, to improve our services and to give you an offer that is adapted to your personal needs.


We have summarized here how we collect and process your personal data in conformity with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Information we have access to is collected from your “public profile” hosted by third parties or social media when you log in with that account. This means that the settings that determine what information we get depend on your account settings with that party. We get access to the same information as that given previously.

Purpose and legal grounds 

We process your personal data to be able to manage our customer relations, analyse web page use, offer goods and services, provide customer service and support in relation to our services, and for market research and marketing of our goods and services.

This is done so that we can:

  • For contact, administration and support in the event of troubleshooting;
  • For statistical reasons with the purpose of developing ESS, its clubs and services that are offered and therefore to improve the customer experience;

How we save your personal data

Your personal information is stored in our system as long as there is a documented purpose for processing. If the service is terminated, your name and personal data is stored for a maximum of 12 months after the termination date. We always store and process your personal data to that extent and for that period of time we are obliged to do so by law.

Personal data that should not be stored as per the General Data Protection Regulation is erased on an ongoing basis as soon as further processing is not justified by the legislation.

Release of personal data

We release personal data in certain circumstances to partners and sub-contractors (contracted personal data processors, for e.g. companies that host our e-commerce platform, assist with invoicing or IT and Cloud services), in order to be able to fulfil our agreement with you as customer and to otherwise comply with statutory obligations and to be able to analyse how our services are used and how to improve them.

We have taken, and continue to do so, protective measures in order to ensure that no personal data is processed in breach of legislation in effect on both security and individual privacy. Everyone who processes your personal information is both bound and legally and contractually restricted as to how such information is used. We do not sell, trade or transfer your personal information to external parties for any other purposes.

We release personal information to new ESS club members, which also includes Teams/Clubs/Companies that qualify for the Elite Series in Speedway.
