- From the company, race team or other organisation you represent, and from publicly available business sources where appropriate.
5. Why we use personal data and our lawful bases
We use personal data only where we have a lawful basis. More than one basis may apply. The table summarises our main activities.
| Purpose | Data commonly used | Lawful basis |
| Respond to enquiries and prepare quotes | Identity, contact, vehicle, chassis, parts requirement and correspondence | Steps at your request before a contract; legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries |
| Create and manage accounts | Identity, contact, credentials, preferences and order history | Contract; legitimate interests in customer administration and account security |
| Accept and fulfil orders | Identity, contact, order, vehicle, delivery and transaction data | Contract; legitimate interests for Business Customer contacts |
| Take payment and prevent fraud | Billing, transaction, device, fraud and limited identity data | Contract; legal obligation; legitimate interests in protecting customers and our business |
| Identify, source and confirm parts | Vehicle model, chassis or VIN, part numbers, photographs and technical enquiry | Contract or pre-contract steps; legitimate interests in accurate sourcing and safe fulfilment |
| Deliver Goods and handle returns or claims | Contact, address, order, carrier, evidence and correspondence | Contract; legal obligation; legitimate interests in resolving issues and defending claims |
| Keep accounts and comply with law | Invoices, transaction, tax, customs, complaint and rights-request records | Legal obligation; legitimate interests in governance and legal protection |
| Operate, secure and improve the Site | Technical, usage, cookie, security and error data | Legitimate interests in secure and effective services; consent where required for cookies |
| Send marketing and measure engagement | Contact, purchase history, preferences and permitted engagement data | Consent where required; legitimate interests and the existing-customer soft opt-in where lawful |
| Manage a business sale or reorganisation | Relevant customer, supplier, contract and transaction records | Legitimate interests in corporate transactions, subject to confidentiality and safeguards |
5.1 Legitimate interests
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether the use is necessary, proportionate and reasonably expected, and balance our interests against your rights. Our interests include operating a specialist parts business, responding to enquiries, sourcing accurately, keeping records, preventing fraud, protecting systems, improving service and communicating with customers. You may object in the circumstances described in section 12.
5.2 If you do not provide data
Where personal data is needed to enter into or perform a contract, meet a legal requirement, verify fitment or arrange delivery, we may be unable to quote, accept or fulfil the order if it is not supplied or is inaccurate.
6. Vehicle, chassis and technical information
A chassis number or VIN can relate to an identifiable owner or customer when combined with other information and is therefore handled as personal data where applicable. We use vehicle and chassis information to identify compatible parts, check supersessions, obtain supplier information, prepare quotations, fulfil orders, maintain service records and address safety or warranty issues.
We may share the minimum necessary vehicle or chassis information with a manufacturer, authorised distributor or technical supplier for those purposes. Do not provide information about another person or vehicle unless you are authorised to do so.
7. Marketing communications
We may send product news, availability updates, event information or offers where you have consented or where the law permits us to contact an existing customer about similar products and we offered an opt-out when collecting the details.
- You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in a marketing email or by contacting parts@ffcorse.com.
- Opting out of marketing does not stop service messages about an order, account, safety issue, recall, quotation or legal matter.
- We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties for their own marketing.
- We may keep a minimal suppression record so that we continue to respect an opt-out.
8. Cookies and similar technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to make core features work, remember choices, maintain security, understand performance and, where enabled, support analytics or marketing.
- Strictly necessary technologies are used for functions such as security, basket, checkout, account login, load balancing and consent management.
- Functional technologies remember optional settings or improve convenience.
- Analytics technologies help us understand Site use and improve performance.
- Advertising or social-media technologies may measure campaigns or tailor content where enabled.
We request consent before using non-essential technologies unless an applicable legal exemption allows use without consent. Where an exemption applies, we provide the information and opt-out required by law. You can change choices through the Site cookie settings and can also control cookies through the browser. Blocking some technologies may affect Site functions. The cookie banner or separate cookie notice identifies the technologies currently in use and their durations.
9. When we share personal data
We share only what is reasonably necessary with recipients that need the information for a permitted purpose. Categories may include:
- our authorised staff, contractors and professional advisers;
- website, ecommerce, hosting, cloud, email, customer-support, analytics, security and backup providers;
- payment, banking, fraud-prevention and credit-service providers;
- carriers, freight forwarders, customs agents and delivery partners;
- manufacturers, authorised parts distributors and technical suppliers where needed to identify, source, verify or fulfil a part;
- tax authorities, regulators, courts, law-enforcement bodies and other authorities where disclosure is required or lawful;
- a buyer, investor, lender or adviser in connection with a proposed sale, investment, financing or reorganisation, subject to appropriate confidentiality.
Service providers acting as processors must handle data on our instructions, keep it secure and use it only for agreed purposes. Some independent recipients, such as payment providers, carriers or authorities, may act as separate controllers under their own privacy notices.
10. International transfers
Some suppliers or service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where the destination is not covered by UK adequacy regulations, we use an appropriate safeguard where required, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to approved standard contractual clauses, or another lawful mechanism. We also assess supplementary protections where appropriate.
Contact us for more information about the safeguard used for a relevant transfer. Commercially confidential information may be redacted from any copy provided.
11. Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, including contractual, safety, accounting, tax, warranty, dispute and legal requirements. Our normal retention framework is:
| Record type | Normal retention period |
| Orders, invoices, payments, tax and accounting records | Normally 6 years after the end of the relevant financial period or customer relationship, unless law requires longer |
| Unconverted enquiries and quotations | Normally 24 months after the last meaningful interaction |
| Customer account profile | While active and normally up to 24 months after inactivity or closure; transaction records are retained separately for the applicable legal period |
| Returns, warranty, safety and customer-service cases | Normally 6 years after closure, or longer where a product-safety, warranty or legal issue justifies it |
| Marketing contact data | Until you opt out or after a reasonable period of inactivity, normally no more than 24 months without meaningful engagement; a minimal suppression record may be kept longer |
| Security and technical logs | Normally up to 12 months, unless needed longer to investigate an incident or legal claim |
| Cookie and consent records | For the duration stated in the current cookie settings or notice and as needed to demonstrate consent or an opt-out |
| Data-protection complaints and rights requests | Normally 6 years after closure to demonstrate compliance and address related claims |
We may anonymise data so that it no longer identifies anyone and use that anonymous information for statistics, planning or service improvement.
12. Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the following rights:
- Access: ask whether we process your personal data and receive a copy and related information.
- Rectification: ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure: ask us to delete data where there is no continuing lawful reason to keep it.
- Restriction: ask us to limit use while an issue is considered.
- Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests and object at any time to direct marketing.
- Portability: receive certain data you provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and ask for transfer where technically feasible.
- Withdraw consent: withdraw consent at any time for future processing where consent is the basis.
- Automated decisions: rights relating to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
To exercise a right, contact parts@ffcorse.com. We may request information reasonably needed to verify identity and understand the request. We normally respond without undue delay and within one month. A right may be restricted or subject to an exemption, in which case we will explain the position where the law permits.
13. Data-protection complaints
| To raise a data-protection complaint, email parts@ffcorse.com with the subject line Data Protection Complaint, or write to our registered office. Explain what happened, the personal data involved, relevant dates and the outcome you seek. |
- We will provide a clear route to complain and will acknowledge receipt within 30 days.
- We will take appropriate steps to investigate without undue delay, consider the relevant facts fairly and keep you informed where the investigation is ongoing.
- We will communicate the outcome without unjustifiable or excessive delay and explain any action taken or reason for not taking action.
You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. We ask that you contact us first so we have an opportunity to resolve the issue, but you do not have to do so.

14. Security
We use proportionate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful loss, alteration, disclosure, access or destruction. Measures may include access controls, authentication, encryption in transit, backups, system monitoring, supplier due diligence, staff confidentiality and incident procedures.
No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. You are responsible for protecting account credentials and for contacting us promptly if you suspect misuse. Please do not send complete payment-card details by ordinary email.
15. Children
The Site and online purchasing service are intended for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly seek personal data directly from children through the Site. A parent, guardian, team or organisation should contact us before providing information relating to a child.
16. Automated decision-making
We do not currently make decisions about customers based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Payment or fraud-prevention providers may use automated tools under their own privacy information. If this changes for processing we control, we will provide the information and safeguards required by law.
17. Third-party links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, platforms or services. Their operators are responsible for their own privacy practices. Review their privacy information before providing personal data.
18. Changes to this Policy
We review this Policy regularly and may update it to reflect legal, regulatory, technical or business changes. The current version will be published on the Site with its effective date. Where a change materially affects how we use personal data, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to the attention of affected people and obtain consent where required.
