Who we are
MSCC was formed in 1991 to run sporting events for it’s members. Since then, it has grown in size and runs one of Scotland’s three Speed Hillclimb Championship venues at Forrestburn. The Club is Registered in Scotland Number SC184038.
Why do we need your personal information and what do we do with it?
You may give us your personal information to allow us to provide you with notification of updates to the Monklands Sporting Car Club website. Depending on your interests we may only ask for your First Name, Last Name and Email Address if you are signing up for update emails and news. If you are entering events, especially hill climbs, we will require much more information including name, address, email and telephone details, next of kin, age, driving licence and more.
MSCC is committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of visitors to our web site and participants in our events. In particular, we do not sell, rent or trade email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing or any other purpose.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679
The GDPR is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.
It was adopted on 14 April 2016. It becomes enforceable on 25 May 2018, after a two-year transition period. The GDPR replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive.
Because GDPR is a regulation, not a directive, it does not require national governments to pass any enabling legislation and is directly binding and applicable.
How does it affect you?
Under the EU GDPR, you are entitled to view, amend, or delete the personal information that we hold. You can do this directly using through MailChimp or by emailing your request to willie@mscc.org.uk.
Our Mailing List
We run an occasional news update service. For this we use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter when we publish updates, usually about completed forthcoming events or events which have taken place at Forrestburn and some other venues. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve this newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails.
