For more information about your privacy rights

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) regulates data protection and privacy matters in the UK. They make a lot of information accessible to consumers on their website and they ensure that the registered details of all data controllers such as ourselves are available publicly. You can access this at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public.

You can make a complaint to the ICO at any time about the way we use your information. However, we hope that you would consider raising any issue or complaint you have with us first. Your satisfaction is extremely important to us, and we will always do our very best to solve any problems you may have.

If you have any questions or concerns then please contact us, using the methods outlined at the end of this policy.

We retain a record of your personal information in order to provide you with a high quality and consistent service. We will always retain your personal information in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and never retain your information for longer than is necessary.

Unless otherwise required by law, your data will be stored for a period of 24 months after our last contact with you, at which point it will be deleted.

Data security is of great importance to Coastal Trail Running and to protect your data we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure your collected data.

We are a digital first organisation and as such try to minimise the use of paper. Where paper is used, such as during our events, we keep the data printed on paper to an absolute minimum, for example names and race numbers. We also ensure the paper is collected and destroyed (shredded) after the event is completed.

We use Enterprise level cloud based systems from reputable companies to manage our data. We implement access controls across all our computer systems, networks and websites. We also implement technical security measures, such as strict encryption, two factor authentication, anonymisation and archiving techniques.

If you would like to exercise one of your rights as set out above, or you have a question or a complaint about this policy, or the way your personal information is processed, please contact us by one of the following methods:
