At Pure Peak Grit, we value the privacy of visitors to our website. We are not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses. In this Privacy Policy we’ve provided detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it and how we keep it secure.

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you and to have any inaccuracies in your information corrected. You also have the right to ask us to delete any personal information we hold about you.

You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner.  Full contact details including a helpline number can be found on www.ico.org.uk.

You have the right to be notified of a data security breach concerning your personal data.

For all questions or concerns regarding our Privacy Notice or the processing of your personal information, please email ride@purepeakgrit.cc.

If you subscribe to our mailing list, we collect your name and email address. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied.

We don’t sell, rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice.

You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing ride@purepeakgrit.cc.

We will only collect and store the information that we feel is necessary to administer the running of the Pure Peak Grit event.
