Privacy Policy

1. Our Commitment to Privacy

Thank you for visiting iruntheglobe.com. We are delighted to provide registration and related services for your running event or marathon package (our "Services" made available through our Site). We value your confidentiality. As a result, we prefer to collect information from you in a straightforward manner. We do not save credit card information on our servers, and we do not sell or share your information with anyone other than: (a) the sponsoring organization (also known as the Race Owner) and the Event Director (collectively, the "Event Organization") for the Races you register for through I Run the Globe, (b) hotels or airline partners, and (c) as otherwise expressly described in this Privacy Policy. We never give the Event Organization, hotels and airlines credit card information.

Please keep in mind that the Event Organization, hotels, and airlines may seek additional information and Content (as defined in the "Information We Collect" section below) from you via our Site or a separate data collection method. The Event Organization can also control who has access to the information and Content collected for their Race and posted or maintained on our Site, and in this regard, may grant access to certain individuals and third parties (such as the timer for your Race) and the general public. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the Event Organization's policies and practices, or the behavior of other users or participants to whom the Event Organization provides access to our Site, with respect to their handling of your information and Content. For information about the Event Organization’s practices and policies, please contact them.

2. The Information We Gather

You can sign up for a Race at iruntheglobe.com. We will collect information about you on those Site pages, including but not limited to: Name, Address, Email Address, Phone Number, Date of Birth (used only for race categories), and Gender (also used for race categories) for those people who register as a user or sign up for an event on our Site. Your Profile Information is saved on our Site in the form of a permanent profile. We keep this information in order to keep track of the events you have registered for.

We will also store: (a) information gathered by the Event Organization, which may include some or all your Information, as well as any additional information gathered by the Event Organization in their discretion, to collect; and (b) the lists and reports of participants for Races, which may include (at the election of the Event Organization) some or all of the information described in (a) above (collectively, the “Race Data”).

We will collect credit card information from you during the transaction in order to complete transactions to register for events. That credit card information will not be stored on our servers or on the Site. To complete a registration transaction, credit card information is sent directly, via secure means, to a trusted third party-operated payment service. You may request that your credit card information be stored, and we will only do so with a trusted third party-operated online credit card vault storage company, not on our servers or on the Site. We confirm that these third parties have been certified as meeting the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council's high-level security standards.

3. Data We Automatically Collect

Google Analytics and other third-party analytics services do not reveal your name or any other personally identifiable information to us.

6. Data Security

Our goal is to protect the personally identifiable information that you provide to us during your use of our Services. We have put in place appropriate physical, administrative and technical procedures that are reasonably designed to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Security safeguards utilized at applicable stages during the collection, transmission and storage of personally identifiable information include data encryption, firewalls, data use and access limitations and physical access controls. However, despite our diligent efforts, no commercial method of information transfer over the Internet or electronic data storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee such absolute security.

7. De-personalized Data

We may aggregate certain information we maintain with information about other individuals in a manner that does not disclose personal information specific to an individual and/or we may remove characteristics that would otherwise be personally identifying. In either case, we are de-personalizing the information. We shall be free to utilize all de-personalized information in any way (including providing such information to other parties for marketing, advertising or other uses) and, unless otherwise required by law, de-personalized information shall not be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. As always, I Run the Globe will comply with all applicable laws and governing regulations in the collection, use and disclosure of personally identifiable information.

8. Links to Third Party Sites

We do not control and, therefore, have no responsibility or liability for the content and practices of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we welcome any feedback about these linked sites (including if a specific link does not work).

9. Our Commitment to Children's Privacy

Our Site and Services are a general audience website and are not specifically directed for use by children under the age of 13. However, we recognize that children may be eligible to participate in events listed on our site and protecting the privacy of the very young is important. For that reason, we do not knowingly allow anyone under the age of 18 to register for an Event. Only parents or guardians may register for a race for children under the age of 18. As part of the registration process, we ask the individual registering a participant for an event to confirm they are the parent or guardian of any registrants under the age of 18 and that they have consented to the collection of information for registrants under the age of 13.

Please see the paragraphs titled “The Information We Collect” and “The Way We Use Information” to understand what information we collect and how it is used.

We will not intentionally communicate directly with children under the age of 13. When there is a need to communicate with children under the age of 13 for the acceptable purposes under this policy (for instance to confirm a race registration) we will use the email address of the parent, guardian or adult who has created the Profile or registered the child for a race.
