Please can we draw your attention to point 12 of our terms and conditions of entry, for media coverage and recording for promotional and security purposes.
12.1 You acknowledge that the Racecourse is, by its nature, a public place and you should consider this regarding your actions and conduct at the Racecourse. Accordingly, you acknowledge that CCTV recording, both that controlled and managed by the Operator and that controlled and managed by agreed third parties, is in operation throughout the Racecourse and that video and audio footage may be passed on to the police or other enforcement bodies in connection with civil and criminal enforcement or to the Racecourse Betting Compliance for the purposes of dispute resolution.
12.2 All attendees (which for the purpose of this Condition includes horses and Attendees with children) are reminded that many races and fixtures are given coverage on television, radio, in print and various other forms of media. By entering the Racecourse, you accept (for yourself and on behalf of any horse or children in your care) that you/they may appear in such coverage.
12.3 Accordingly, you shall have no right to object to, or demand any payment in respect of you, your horse’s or your children’s inclusion in any such coverage whether produced by the Operator or by third parties authorised by the Operator.
12.4 We occasionally use photography and other forms of media taken at the Racecourse to produce marketing materials for the purpose of promoting our business, the Racecourse and horseracing in general, and for entertainment and editorial purposes, by the Operator, its business partners and other media organisations (“Marketing Materials”). As a result, you may appear in our Marketing Materials either prominently or incidentally. If you do not wish to have your photograph taken, please advise the photographer and they will endeavour to respect your wishes. Please note that this may not always be possible where you are part of a larger group shot which does not focus on any given individual.
12.5 We will, at all times, process any personal data under these Conditions in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. For example, if you are identifiable in any Marketing Materials as a result of your attendance at the Racecourse, we will process your personal data in accordance with our legitimate interests or after we obtain your consent (as appropriate).
