The Organisers respects the privacy of the applicants of the races that it organises.
The data collected (Name, surname, ID/Passport number, phone number, address, date of birth, gender, nationality, team and email address) from the application forms will be used as necessary to administer the applications and to provide updates and information on the race being applied for.
The name, surname, ID/Passport number, date of birth, gender, nationality and team will be shared with the timekeepers of each race to extract and display the race results and awards. Race results are kept indefinitely.
The name, surname, date of birth, gender, nationality and team will be shared with the company responsible for taking photographs at the start, along the route and at the finish of the races. The photographs capturing the applicant through a code on the race number will be posted to the applicant’s Facebook wall with the applicant’s consent.
During our events, there will be other photographers taking pictures from the start, along the route, the finish and at the presentation ceremony. Participants may easily be captured in the foreground or background of these pictures. These pictures are taken to capture moments during the event and do not target any specific participants.
The name, surname, gender and age will be printed on the race official magazine, if applicable. This gives the chance for any errors that may affect the results and awards to be noticed by the applicant and rectified by the Organisers if advised.
Only the Organisers and the database administrator has access to the database. Applicants have the right to know what information is in our database. As a minimum we retain the data retrieved from the application forms for 5 years. One may retrieve and check the data in our database by downloading the application form.
