Privacy, handled with clarity.

NOSCLTR is an independent motorsport culture and journalism platform. We publish editorial work across motorsport news-analysis, culture, long-form features and reflective writing around the world beyond the tracks.

This policy applies to information collected through our website, email communication, submission processes, newsletter forms, contribution/support pages, analytics tools, and any other digital service controlled by NOSCLTR.

We aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate the platform, communicate with readers and subscribers, review submissions, improve the website, send requested newsletters, and manage support or contribution-related communication.

Depending on how you use NOSCLTR, we may collect the following types of information:

If you subscribe to the NOSCLTR newsletter, we collect the information needed to send you editorial updates, category-specific newsletters, announcements, publication notes, support updates, and other NOSCLTR-related communication.

Depending on the newsletter form you use, you may choose to subscribe to all updates or only selected categories such as Pitlane, Culture, Features, Inside Line, or other future NOSCLTR sections.

• We use your email address to send newsletters and updates you requested.
• We may use your selected categories to personalise which NOSCLTR updates you receive.
• We may store your subscription date, consent status, source form, preferences and unsubscribe history.
• We may track basic email engagement such as opens, clicks, delivery status and bounced emails to improve newsletter performance.
• You can unsubscribe from newsletters at any time through the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us directly.
• Unsubscribing from newsletters does not automatically delete previous editorial, submission, support or legal records where retention is necessary.

We use personal information for limited, platform-related purposes:

• To respond to emails, queries, support messages, editorial requests and submission-related communication.
• To send newsletters, category-specific updates, publication announcements and other NOSCLTR communication you requested.
• To manage newsletter preferences, subscription status, unsubscribe requests, bounced emails and delivery issues.
• To review story ideas, full article submissions, photography submissions, contributor proposals and related editorial material.
• To review NOSCLTR Grid applications, role applications, Talent Network profiles, contributor interest forms and future opportunity enquiries.
• To manage contributor onboarding, application status, first-task communication, availability records, role suitability, portfolio review and related follow-up communication.
• To manage attribution, credits, permissions and follow-up communication with contributors or photographers.
• To operate, maintain, secure and improve the NOSCLTR website and publishing experience.
• To understand readership patterns through analytics, including page performance, newsletter engagement and audience behaviour.
• To process support or contribution-related communication where users voluntarily support NOSCLTR through linked platforms or direct methods.
• To prevent spam, abuse, fraud, unauthorised access or misuse of the website.
• To comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting or security obligations.

If you submit story ideas, articles, photography, visual material, portfolio links or contributor information to NOSCLTR, we may store and review that material for editorial assessment.

Submitting material does not guarantee publication, payment, contributor status, commissioning, or acceptance. We may contact you for clarification, edits, verification, permissions, image credits, or additional context.

By submitting material, you confirm that you have the right to share it with us and that the material does not knowingly infringe another person’s copyright, privacy, publicity rights, confidential information, or legal rights.

NOSCLTR Grid is a voluntary contributor programme for people who may want to contribute to NOSCLTR through editorial, trackside coverage, research, social media, media production, community moderation, event coordination or future related opportunities.

If you apply for a Grid role or join the NOSCLTR Talent Network, we may collect and store application-related information so that we can review your profile, assess role fit, contact you about first tasks or future openings, manage role status, and maintain internal contributor records.

• Application details may include your name, email address, city, country, date of birth, availability, preferred role, area of interest, skills, motorsport interests, portfolio links, social links, sample work links and written responses.
• We may store application status, review notes, role status, first-task communication, selection decisions and related internal administrative records.
• Grid roles are voluntary unless clearly stated otherwise. Submitting an application or joining the Talent Network does not guarantee selection, publication, payment, employment, staff status or future opportunity.
• Talent Network information may be used to contact you about future editorial, media, social, community, trackside, outreach, contributor or formal staff opportunities where relevant.
• We may retain Grid and Talent Network information for a reasonable period to manage applications, future opportunities, contributor records, dispute handling, platform security and administrative continuity.

NOSCLTR may provide links or instructions that allow readers to support the platform through external fundraising platforms, payment gateways, UPI, bank transfer, or other contribution methods.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, contributions support NOSCLTR’s independent motorsport publishing and community work. They are not represented as tax-deductible charitable donations unless expressly mentioned on the relevant campaign or payment page.

• We do not directly store complete card, net-banking or payment gateway credentials.
• External platforms such as fundraising pages or payment processors may collect and process payment data under their own privacy policies.
• If you send us a payment confirmation, screenshot or transaction reference, we may use it only to verify, acknowledge, reconcile or respond to your contribution.
• We may retain support-related correspondence for accounting, transparency, campaign management, dispute resolution or legal compliance.

NOSCLTR may use cookies, pixels, analytics scripts or similar technologies to understand website performance, improve editorial presentation, prevent spam, remember preferences, and measure audience engagement.

Website analytics may include information such as visited pages, reading patterns, referral sources, browser type, approximate location, device information and session behaviour. This helps us understand what readers engage with and how the website can be improved.

Newsletter tools may also use tracking pixels or link tracking to measure whether emails were opened, whether links were clicked, whether emails bounced, and whether delivery was successful. We use this to improve newsletter quality, not to sell personal information.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can control newsletter tracking and email communication by unsubscribing or contacting us.

NOSCLTR may use third-party services to host the website, manage forms, send newsletters, receive emails, analyse traffic, protect against spam, embed media, process contributions, or manage campaigns.

These services may process personal data according to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites, platforms or services that we do not control.

• Website hosting and security providers
• Email, newsletter and contact form services
• Analytics and performance tools
• Spam prevention or bot-protection tools
• Embedded media platforms
• Fundraising, contribution or payment platforms
• Social media platforms linked from NOSCLTR

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information only where necessary for legitimate operational, newsletter, editorial, legal or security purposes.

• With service providers who help operate the website, email, newsletter, analytics, security, submissions or support functions.
• With editors, reviewers or contributors where necessary for editorial assessment, collaboration or publication workflow.
• With payment, campaign or fundraising platforms when you voluntarily use those services.
• When required by law, legal process, government request, regulatory obligation, fraud prevention or security enforcement.
• To protect NOSCLTR, our readers, subscribers, contributors, platform integrity, intellectual property or legal rights.

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including communication, newsletter delivery, subscription preference management, editorial review, Grid and Talent Network application review, contributor records, publication records, contribution records, website operation, legal compliance, accounting, dispute resolution or security.

Newsletter subscription data may be retained while you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, we may retain limited suppression or unsubscribe records to ensure you are not accidentally added back to mailing lists.

Grid applications, Talent Network profiles and contributor-related records may be retained for application review, future opportunity consideration, internal administration, contributor management, editorial records, dispute handling, security or legitimate operational purposes unless deletion is requested and retention is no longer necessary.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information from unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or loss. However, no digital system, email transmission, website or online storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

NOSCLTR is intended for a general motorsport readership and is not designed to knowingly collect personal data from children without appropriate consent.

If you are under the age at which parental or guardian consent is required under applicable law, please do not submit personal information, subscribe to newsletters, apply for Grid roles, join the Talent Network, submit contributor material, send photographs, provide payment details or contact requests without such consent.

Depending on applicable law, you may request access to your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of information, withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent, or information about how your data is being used.

Newsletter subscribers may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in newsletter emails or by contacting us directly. You may also ask us to update your category preferences where technically possible. Grid applicants and Talent Network members may request correction or deletion of their application information where legally and operationally possible.

The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the website after changes are posted means the updated policy applies to your use of NOSCLTR.
