In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

    • Create an account on our website.

​​

4. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

​

  • We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  1. Performance of Contract this means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

  2. Legitimate Interest this means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the most secure experience.

  3. Rarely this may be under the Consent, Legal Obligation, Vital Interest and Public Task categories.  We need to process information under Contract rules to determine competitor start lists, for health and safety reasons (for example Covid-19 contact tracing), and to inform of any updates of the events registered.  Results of events and participant details would be needed for publication on the website, and in responding where necessary to comments submitted through the website or other means.  There are Legitimate Interests in understanding data on the participants for current and future event development and for data of interest such as times for runners to register improvements or act as a guide for other runners, and for milestones such as course records which are typically of general interest.

  4. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting the data protection officer via the Contact form via the Contact menu on the website.

  5. Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation which means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.

​​

Please contact the data protection officer using the Contact form via the Contact menu on the website if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been used.

  • 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 the data protection officer using the Contact form via the Contact menu on the website.

  • 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.
