Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. Because the Big Sur International Marathon (“BSIM”) gathers certain types of information about you, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.
1. Capture of Information
BSIM has partnered with the Active Network, Inc. to register you for BSIM events. Active has agreed to provide BSIM with personal information collected from people who make use of the Active services from BSIM’s website. However, be aware that Active operates independently from and has privacy and security policies wholly different from BSIM. Please contact “the ActiveNetwork.com” to consult its privacy policy. During the registration process BSIM, through Active, obtains personally identifiable information about you which may include your first and last name, home or other physical address including a street name or the name of your city or town, your e-mail address, telephone number, age, gender, t-shirt size, household income, education, and profession, as well as some credit card information.
2. Use of Information
We use the information you provide about yourself to generate bib numbers which contain your name, age, gender, assigned race number and t-shirt size. Basic entrant information (name, address, gender, age, etc.) is transferred to a ChampionChip timing system for use in tracking (via electronic chip) runners and recording the results. BSIM provides finisher data (name, address and email) to MarathonFoto, the official marathon photographer, for the one-time purpose of mailing a finisher photo proof for consideration with no obligation to purchase. BSIM also provides personally identifiable information (name, address and event) to Runners World Magazine, one of BSIM’s primary sponsors. We do post event results on the Internet which include participants’ name, city, age, gender, and finishing time. Once a year we may provide your email address and zip code to Running USA in order to participate in the National Runner Survey project. Survey respondents are anonymous and the results provide BSIM with valuable information used for planning and marketing. First and last names and valid email addresses are uploaded to a file at Constant Contact for the purpose of sending e-Newsletters and blast emails to race participants, finishers and sponsors (you may "opt out" of this at any time). Names, emails, zip codes and genders are given to iGiftBag twice annually for the purpose of tracking usage of our Virtual Goodie Bag items. Finally, we sometimes provide mailing labels containing BSIM participants’ names and addresses to local races upon request.
BSIM does not sell, rent or provide your non-public personal information to anyone other than as stated above. Unless required by subpoena or other court order, BSIM will not disclose or share your personally identifiable information with any individual, organization, company or non-affiliated third party. BSIM may, however, at its sole discretion, share statistical data with race sponsors or media agencies. Statistical data does not include personally identifiable information about any individual and is used for quantitative purposes only.
This is the official Privacy Policy of the Big Sur International Marathon (and related events), effective January 7, 2005 and is subject to change without notice except for publication on this website.
