Privacy and Data Policy
At Sporting Events UK, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our website. In particular, we want you to know that Sporting Events UK is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. We just don’t do that sort of thing. To reassure you, we’ve provided lots of detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure. Sit back, relax, get your reading glasses and breathe!
Types of data we collect
Google Analytics
When someone visits www.sportingeventsuk.com we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
Mailing Lists
As part of the registration process for our events, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about the event you have registered for; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don't rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.
If you have opted-in to marketing with us you will receive our newsletter updates and offers. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing us at contact@sportingeventsuk.com.
Ticketing Data
When you purchase a ticket to one of our events, or buy merchandise, membership or gift voucher(s) through our website and our partner Eventrac, your name, address data, email and contact number will be stored in our booking system, managed by our partner Eventrac. Please be assured that we do not share your personal details with any other company without your consent.
Our Partners
We may share anonymised personal information with other organisations, particularly England Athletics, RunEvents, UK Athletics or other Governing Bodies, who use this to provide a central results platform and to analyse our types of participation in the sport to understand the impact of the public investment made in UK Sport.
Access to your personal information
You are entitled to view, amend, or delete the personal information that we hold. Email your request to our data protection officer, Barry Hopkins via contact@sportingeventsuk.com
