Who We Are
Our website address is: http://f1lightsout.co.uk.
Thank you for visiting Lights Out. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal data, as well as your rights regarding this information.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
We may share your data in the following circumstances:
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your personal data if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
Third-Party Services: We may share your information with third-party service providers to help us operate our website and provide services to you. This includes, but is not limited to, analytics services like Google Analytics and web development teams.
With Your Consent: We will share your information with third parties as disclosed and consented to by you at the time of data collection.
How We Use Your Information
We use the data we collect for the following purposes:
Processing Transactions: If applicable in the future, to process payments and fulfil any orders or subscriptions you may place with us.
Personalisation of Content: To deliver tailored content based on your preferences and interests.
Marketing Purposes: With your consent, to send you newsletters, promotional materials, and other information that may be of interest to you.
Analytics and Performance Tracking: To monitor and analyze the use of our website, improving its functionality and user experience.
Third-Party Services
We use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, to help us analyse website usage and improve our services. These third-party service providers have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

As a data subject, you have the right to:
– Request confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed.
– Access your personal data and receive a copy of it.
– Request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
– Request the deletion or restriction of your data, subject to legal and operational constraints.
– Object to the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
We are committed to respecting your privacy rights and ensuring compliance with the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, updated 2004 and 2011.
Data Storage and Security
We store data collected through cookies and other means securely. We take reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
