- Another Action-Packed Year of Motorsport!
2024 Season Review Hello and welcome to the JB Data Engineering 2024 end-of-season review! This year has flown past and we can’t believe that we’re already deep into planning for 2025. 2024 has, as ever, been busy and demanding and we are very grateful to everyone who has employed our services or bought products from us in 2024. When we started the company back in 2016, we had no idea that, nearly nine years later, JB Data Engineering would have worked with clients across the globe and be supplying products from the world’s leading data gathering and motorsport electronics companys. We hope you enjoy this brief summary of 2024 and if we can help with your planning for next season with either support during testing or with systems from our range of leading suppliers, please call us on 00(44) 7717 562169 or email jordan@jbdataengineering.co.uk . We’d be delighted to help. British GT (The #44 car in the hands of Kavi Jundu and Dan Vaughan - Photo: British GT) The opportunity to work with Toyota Gazoo Racing UK (Speedworks Motorsport) resulted from a request to provide some systems support. What started out as a day in the Speedworks HQ turned into an offer to join the team for the season to work with Team Manager Danny Buxton and Race Engineer Geoff Kingston in support of the team’s #44 Toyota GR Supra GT4 Evo driven by Kavi Jundu and Dan Vaughan. Over a season which saw both successes and challenges, the relationship between Race Engineer and Data Engineer grew to one of the utmost trust and respect and demonstrated how effective it is when those roles work closely together. Decisions on strategy calls and set-up direction require clear communication and sound decision-making, disciplines that paid huge dividends for the team as the season progressed. This was never more prevalent than at Donington early in the year where we took the decision to bring the #44 car in for a pit stop just ahead of the safety car being called out. This well-timed call effectively gave the team a free pit stop and allowed us to lead the GT4 class before a pit lane infringement resulted in a penalty. (The #44 Toyota Gazoo Racing GR Supra at Brands Hatch - Photo: British GT) The final round saw a change of drivers with Michael O’Brien and Benjamin Tusting taking over the driving duties for Brands Hatch. The car sported a new matt camo wrap for the final weekend in support of the British Army Motorsport Association. Formed in 1960, the Association provides members with an opportunity to participate in motorsport in the form of competitive events. Unfortunately a stone through the radiator during the race meant that O’Brien and Tusting were unable to show the full potential of the Toyota GR Supra but they did set the fastest GT4PA lap time so the pace was there even if luck was not on our side. The British GT Championship is regarded by many as the most competitive domestic GT championship in the world and it was an honour and a pleasure to compete in the 2024 season with Toyota Gazoo Racing UK.a Fun Cup Endurance Championship Photo: JB Data Engineering) One of the highlights of 2024 was our support of Morpheus Motorsport throughout the Fun Cup Endurance Championship. Fun Cup has grown in popularity over the last few seasons and by the final weekend in October, the grid had grown to 28 cars with teams already signing up for 2025. Morpheus Motorsport began the season with a three-car entry which included the #195 car driven by Neil Burroughs and Ted Bradbury, the #101 Axiametrics-backed entry with Christopher Weatherill, Jonathan Railton and Greg Evans and the #157GMR/Eco entry with rising star Gracie Mitchell and Rob Croydon behind the wheel. By the end of the season, the team had grown to five cars, ensuring that everyone within Morpheus Motorsport had to be on the top of their game to ensure the cars were well-prepared and that the drivers were getting the correct support from the Race and Data Engineers. (JB Data Engineering in conversation with Morpheus Motorsport team members - Photo: Fun Cup Endurance Championship) For JB Data Engineering, the Fun Cup season demonstrated that focus and excellent time management meant that you can still provide effective support to a large number of drivers by highlighting the points where the most time can be gained, rather than concentrating on every last tenth of a second. The season also demonstrated the value of data, allowing decisions to be made with precise information rather than opinion. (The #195 car of Neil Burrougs and Ted Bradbury - Photo: Fun Cup Endurance Championship) The season had its share of highs and lows but outright wins for the #195 car, top ten finishes for the #103 car and seeing the progression of all the drivers as the season developed meant that the value of data analysis and feedback was proved time and time again. Morpheus Motorsport’s Gracie Mitchell was awarded ‘Best Newcomer’ at the recent Fun Cup awards evening so her progress has not gone unnoticed. British Endurance Championship / Britcar Trophy Championship 2024 marked the third year that JB Data Engineering has provided data scrutineering to the British Endurance Championship and Britcar Trophy. It will also be the last year that the series’ are run to the current regulations as big changes have been announced. JB Data Engineering would like to extend a huge debt of gratitude to Claire Hedley and David Hornsey for inviting us to be part of the BEC journey since 2022. We would also like to thank all he teams who competed in the two series and who made the lives of the Data Scrutineering team immeasurably easier as the seasons have progressed. Initially there was the inevitable push-back when the data scrutineers made requests to the teams but by the end of the 2024 season, a professional, respectful relationship between the teams and scrutineers had been established to, we hope, everyone’s benefit. (Photo: James Roberts Photography for Britcar Trophy Championship) With tight timetables and a lot of racing packed into one-day meetings, the season presented its challenges but it proves again that with good time management and a supportive team environment, objectives can be achieved even under demanding circumstances. We wish the British Endurance Championship the very best of luck as it embarks on its new era in 2025 and we hope we can be part of the team again when racing resumes at Silverstone next April. GT Cup / TCR UK / Mini Miglia Challenge (Jeff Smith celebrating winning the 2024 Mini Miglia title at Silverstone - Photo: Mini Miglia Challenge) JB Data Engineering supported teams across a number of championships and series in 2024 and we were delighted to be asked to support Morpheus Motorsport when it entered the first two weekends of the GT Cup Championship. For the opening weekend at Donington, the team’s two-car entry comprised Stephen Walton and Chris Hart piloting the #69 Mercedes-AMG GT4 and Jon Currie and Phil Keen sharing thedriving duties in the #69 car. The #69 crew left Brands Hatch 5th in the GTH standings with Jon and Phil two places behind. Marcus Clutton replaced Phil Keen for the Brands Hatch weekend which saw another packed programme that resulted in two 4ths, a 5th and an 8th-place finish for the #69 car and a podium, two 4ths and a 7th-place finish for the #96 crew.a (Jo Polley’s #306 Mini at Brands Hatch) We supported teams in the TCR UK paddock and were delighted to help Matt Wilson and Brad Hutchison. It was great to see our friends at EDF Motorsports winning the Gen 1 Cup on its first running. Finally, JB Data Engineering joined Pyro Motorsport and drivers Jeff Smith and Jo Polley for the Brands Hatch Mini Festival and the Mini Miglia Challenge at Silverstone. Jeff secured the Mini Miglia title at Silverstone and Jo Polley drove to a 12th-place finish from the rear of the grid in Race Two, a fantastic result given the size of the field. With both cars running the VBOX HD2 video data logging system, we were able to analyse on-track performance efficiently and both drivers benefited from quick, accurate feedback. JB Data Engineering has thoroughly enjoyed supporting Jo and Jeff in 2024 and we hope we can return to the Mini Miglia paddock in 2025.

- Mini Miglias and Fun Cup November 2024 Newsletter
Welcome to the November 2024 JB Data Engineering Newsletter. The JB Data Engineering team wrapped up our busy 2024 season with two superb outings in October. Firstly we supported Pyro Motorsport at Silverstone where Jeff Smith and Jo Polley were competing in the final two rounds of the Dunlop Mini 7 Racing Club Championship Mini Miglias. To close the month, we travelled to Oulton Park with Morpheus Motorsport to provide data engineering support to their five-car entry in the final weekend of the 2024 Fun Cup Endurance Championship. Both weekends saw some fantastic results along with the inevitable challenges but what would motorsport be without its ups and downs? With the domestic season now behind us, our thoughts are firmly fixed on the Gulf region and Asia with the prospect of packed grids and close racing in the Asian Le Mans Series, the Gulf 12 Hours and the Michelin 24H Dubai. JB Data Engineering currently has the resource to provide data analysis and engineering support for selected dates across all of those events, both on a remote and track-side basis. If we can help, please call us on 0044 7717 562169 or email jordan@jbdataengineering.co.uk . If you’re planning a new car build in preparation for next season, check out the recently revised VBOX Pit Lane Timer. Packed with essential features, the Pit Lane Timer is now a vital piece of equipment for races where optimising pit stop time is critical. Read all about the new VBOX Pit Lane Timer below. Dunlop Mini 7 - Mini Miglia Challenge (Photo: Mini Miglia Challenge) JB Data Engineering was delighted to rejoin Pyro Motorsport for the final weekend of the Mini Miglia Challenge, held on the Silverstone International Circuit. Jo Polley in the #76 car and Jeff Smith in the #46 entry had a busy weekend with not only practice and qualifying but also three 20-minute races due to a carry-over race from Cadwell Park. Jo Polley was unlucky as mechanical gremlins meant that some testing was missed on Friday. Jo qualified the #76 car in the 17th but bad luck was to strike again as contact with debris on the circuit caused sufficient damage to result in a DNF. For Race Two, Jo was starting from the rear of the grid but drove through to a 12th place finish, a fantastic result given the size of the field. Jeff Smith qualified the #46 car on pole on his final tour, lapping the 1.85 miles of the International circuit in 1:231.464 and went on to finish 3rd in Race One, securing the Mini Miglia title in the process. Race Two saw the #46 car finish second, wrapping up a highly successful weekend and season for Jeff Smith and Pyro Motorsport. With both cars running the VBOX HD2 video data logging system, we were able to analyse on -track performance efficiently and both drivers benefited from quick, accurate feedback. JB Data Engineering has thoroughly enjoyed supporting Jo Polley and Jeff Smith in 2024 and we hope we can return to the Mini Miglia paddock in 2025. Fun Cup Endurance Championship (Photo: JB Data Engineering) The final weekend of the Fun Cup Endurance Championship was a busy one for JB Data Engineering. With Morpheus Motorsport running five cars for rounds 9 & 10 and a huge range of experience in Fun Cup machinery across the driver line-ups, it was always going to be a race meeting that demanded the best of every team member. Fun Cup racing has continued to grow in popularity and the grid of 28 cars was one of the biggest of the season. JPR Motorsport, the series organiser, announced that new teams have already signed for the 2025 season so, during a challenging economic environment for many teams, it’s great to see this popular form of endurance racing continuing to grow JB Data Engineering in conversation with Morpheus Motorsport team members. (Photo: Fun Cup Endurance Championship)) Joining Morpheus Motorsport in the #110 car alongside team owner Chris Hart’s son Charlie, was 2024 BTCC Champion Jake Hill, making his Fun Cup debut. The #110 car qualified on pole position and went to enjoy a very successful weekend with two 2nd place finishes and winning a cash prize for Fun Cup novices podium finishers. Gracie Mitchell was back with Morpheus for the Oulton Park rounds and was joined in the #157 GMR/Eco entry by Will Antrobus who has moved up from karts this season. The #157 car qualified 13th overall and finished 13th and 17th overall in the two races. With five cars and a busy timetable, having access to accurate data is vitally important for a team. Data and video enables drivers and engineers to quickly pinpoint areas where time can be made up and implement plans to optimise both car and pilot. Although pit stop times are not mandated in Fun Cup Racing, getting the car in and back out safely and in the quickest possible time is vital to on-track success in a series where winning margins can be measured in seconds. The 2024 Fun Cup Endurance Championship season with Morpheus Motorsport has been hugely enjoyable and we very much hope we can rejoin the team for its 2025 campaign. Product Focus: VBOX Pit Lane Timer VBOX has recently released its latest evolution of the Pit Lane Timer. This product needs very little introduction as it’s fast becoming a ‘must have’ for teams competing in series that have mandated minimum pit stoptimes. The new VBOX RLVBPIT-R is slimmer, with a depth of just 15mm, and has additional LEDs for communicating to the driver and pit crew. AJ Peterson, Team Manager of Lone Star Racing who took GTD pole at Motul Petit Le Mans last month, summed up why the VBOX Pit Lane Timer is vital to the success of the team. “With modern BoP racing, it’s a battle of who makes the least amount of mistakes. “So as long as we have a tool to minimise our mistakes in the pitlane, that’s money well spent.” Click on the link below to view the interview with Lone Star Racing’s AJ Peterson. The VBOX Pit Lane Timer takes the guesswork out of the crucial pit stop period of a race. It recognises the preset pit lane entry points as its crossed, displays the speed until the car comes to a stop and then counts down to zero to indicate when it is time to get out again. The high brightness LEDs change colour and intensity, giving the driver an indication of whether the pit lane exit will be reached too early, late or at the right time. Data is logged to its SD card at 25 times per second. For VBOX Pit Lane Timer orders received before 12:00 on the 30th of November, JB Data Engineering will provide a FREE half hour phone consultation to advise you on correct fitment and usage. Looking ahead for 2025! As 2024 starts to wind down, the motorsport world looks ahead to next season and what promises to be another spectacular year of racing. Sportscar grids in the senior categories across the world are approaching capacity and that enthusiasm can only support and grow grassroots series and domestic racing. The JB Data Engineering team is perfectly positioned to provide you with season-long track-side data acquisition and analysis services, equipment supply and installation from the world’s most highly regarded motorsport electronics companies or test day and on-call telephone support, whenever and wherever you need it. For early season support, we are available for the Asian LeMans Series starting in Malaysia in December, the Gulf 12 Hours and the Michelin 24H Dubai in January. If you are looking for advice or guidance, don’t forget you can book a telephone consultation (charges apply). We are available 24 hours a day to answer all your data engineering questions.

- September 2024 Newsletter
Welcome to the September 2024 JB Data Engineering Newsletter. Hello and welcome to the September edition of the JB Data Engineering Newsletter. August was another busy month with JB Data Engineering fulfilling data scrutineering duties with the British Endurance Championship and the ROWE Britcar Trophy, supporting Jeff Smith and Jo Polley at the Mini Festival at Brands Hatch and working with Morpheus Racing in the Fun Cup Endurance Championship. We’ve certainly not been sitting still! Despite a busy few weeks ahead of us, we stll have some dates available if you’re looking to test ahead of the final rounds of many domestic championships so please call us on 07717 562169 or email us at jordan@jbdataengineering.co.uk to see how we can help you. Mini Festival - Brands Hatch (Photo: Jo Polley) The first weekend of August saw JB Data Engineering providing support to Jeff Smith and Jo Polley at the Mini Festival, held on the Indy circuit at Brands Hatch. Polley and Smith had a busy weekend with entries in both the Dunlop Mini Challenge supported by Mini Spares – Miglia class and also the Sanwa Trophy –Pre 66 Minis. Mini racing is always fun and Jeff Smith left Brands Hatch after taking four podiums out of a possible five across the two classes while Jo Polley had a best-placed finish of 12th overall in Race 1 for the Mini Miglias. We hope that we can join Jeff and Jo again in the paddock for what is always great racing on highly competitive grids British Endurance Championship / Britcar Trophy (Photo: British Endurance Championship) The British Endurance Championship and ROWE Britcar Trophy were back at Donington Park for Round 5 of the BEC and JB Data Engineering was delighted to work in our regular role as part of the Data Scrutineering team, ensuring that all the competitors were adhering to the same technical standards and that the playing field was level for the 30 entries across both the championships. In a highly competitive BEC race, Peter Erceg and Marcus Clutton in the #9 PB Racing by JMH Audi GT3 took another overall victory but were pushed hard by the #55 JMH Automotive Lamborghini driven by John Seale and Jamie Stanley. Some ambitious driving at the start saw multiple contacts as the grid went into the first corner and the action continued throughout the two-hour contest. After Donington, Erceg and Clutton lead the overall BEC standings on 160 points, 12 points ahead of the #161 Xentec Motorsport Porsche Gt4 piloted by Bal Sidhu and Josh Steed who finished in 4th overall at Donington and 1st in Class D. (#10 Geoff Steel BMW E46 driven by Lee Goldsmith. Photo: Britcar Trophy) The two 50-minute ROWE Britcar Trophy races saw victory in Race 1 go to the #50 Intersport crew of Jasver Sapra and Bryan Bransom followed by Ben Green and Stephen Fresle in the #43 Century and SGM Ginetta G56 GTA entry. The win in Race 2 was taken by Lee Goldsmith in the #10 Geoff Steel Racing BMW M3. Maurice Henry and Hadley Simpson lead the standings in the #88 High Row Motorsport Clio after Donington, just one point ahead of Mark Jones, Rob Ellick and Craig Fleming in the #7 TSR Audi TT. As always, JB Data Engineering was proud to be a part of Claire Hedley’s team at Donington and we are looking forward to rejoining the BEC and Britcar Trophy paddocks at Snetterton in September for the season finale. Fun Cup Endurance (The #157 GMR/Eco Fun Cup entry driven by Gracie Mitchell and Ed and Chris Bridle ) JB Data Engineering provided data analysis support to Morpheus Racing, supporting their three-car entry in Round 7 of the Fun Cup Endurance Championship at Brands Hatch. Neil Burroughs and Ted Bradbury returned in the #195 car while the #103 Axiametrics-backed entry saw Christopher Weatherhill, Jonathan Railton and Greg Evans sharing the driving duties. In the #157 GMR/Eco entry, Gracie Mitchell, making her fourth Fun Cup appearance, was joined by the Bridle twins,Chris and Edward, both of whom have considerable experience and who were the perfect mentors for their teammate, still in the early years of what promises to be a fantastic racing career. (#195 Morpheus Racing entry driven by Neil Burroughs and Ted Bradbury. Photo: Fun Cup) Neil Burroughs put the #195 car on pole position and in a competitive four-hour contest, took first place on track before a 30-second time penalty was served on the duo for contact, demoting Burroughs and Bradbury to 3rd. Both the #157 and #103 crews had solid races with the Mitchell and Bridle-crewed entry finishing in 8th, followed by the #103 car in 9th. Weatherhill, Railton and Evans finished 5th in the Masters class while Burroughs and Bradbury got the fastest overall lap time with a 56.583. (#103 Axiametrics-backed entry driven by Christopher Weatherill, Jonathan Railton and Greg Evans. Photo: Fun Cup) The #195 Morpheus Racing entry now sits 8th in the overall standings with the #157 and #109 cars 19th and 24th respectively. Racing on the Brands Hatch Indy circuit is always very demanding due to the short lap time and JB Data Engineering had a very enjoyable day. We are looking forward to joining the team when the Fun Cup Endurance Championship visits Ecumaster RF Wireless Steering Wheel The Ecumaster Wireless RF Steering Panel offers significant advantages for racing enthusiasts.

For example, we may aggregate data about your use of the website to calculate the percentage of users accessing a certain section of our website. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Lawful basis for using your information In some cases, we will only use your personal information where we have your consent or because we need to use it for the performance of a contract with you (for example, because you have ordered products or services from us). Generally, we do not rely on consent as the lawful basis for processing your personal data, although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us, or by checking or unchecking relevant boxes on our site, or in our communications to you, to adjust your marketing preferences. Where you opt out of receiving marketing messages from us, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a purchase by you of our products and/or services, any warranty registration, any experience you have had with our products and/or services, or any other transactions you have undertaken with us. There are other lawful reasons that allow us to process your personal information and one of those is called “legitimate interests”. This means that the reason that we are processing information is because there is a legitimate interest for us to process your information to help our business. Whenever we process your personal data on the basis of a “legitimate interest”, we make sure that we take into account your rights and interests and will not process your personal information if we feel that there is a disproportionate privacy impact on you. Marketing If you are a consumer, we will only contact you by e-mail for marketing purposes if you have given us your opt-in consent to do so. This may include information about products and/or services offered by us that are similar to those that we have already provided to you or that you have requested us to provide to you, to notify you about changes to our products or services, or any other information which we have a legitimate interest to contact you about, unless you have asked us not to do so. You can manage your preferences at any time by contacting us using the details set out below. Please note that we will continue contacting you about information that is connected to the contract that you have with us, including the provision of any products, or the performance of the services that you may have purchased from us, or our other products or services you may have requested from us. We will not share your information for marketing purposes with any company or other entity (including our Partners) unless we have your opt-in consent to do so. You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages by contacting us at any time or by clicking the “unsubscribe” button in the relevant e-mail. Change of purpose We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law. Disclosures of your personal data We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in paragraph 6 above.

Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses, carry out a restructure or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy. Any other entities which are under the same beneficial ownership as us that may subsist from time to time. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers, or our Partners, to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. We do not and will not sell your personal data to any third party. International transfers Some of our external third parties may transfer your person data outside the UK. For example, our website is provided by Wix.com Ltd, who may store personal data which they receive from us in their data centres in the United States of America, Ireland, Japan or Israel. For more information on how Wix.com Ltd stores personal data, please see their privacy policy at: https://www.wix.com/about/privacy. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented: We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data. Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK. Data security We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. The Website may include third-party advertising and links to other websites. We do not provide any Personal Data to these advertisers or third-party websites. We cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal data that is beyond our reasonable control and we exclude all liability for loss that you may incur when using third party websites. Data retention We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are available on request by contacting us using the details above. Your legal rights Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, as follows: Request access to your personal data. This is commonly known as a “data subject access request” and enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. Request correction of your personal data. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. Object to processing of your personal data. Where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. Request restriction of processing your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. Request transfer of your personal data. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. Right to withdraw consent. Where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us. You can find out more about these rights by viewing the ICO’s guidance here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/. No fee usually required You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. What we may need from you We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. Time limit to respond We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
