Sports Event Korea (“we”, “us”, “our”) publishes English-language guides to endurance sports events held in Korea and helps overseas runners register for those events. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
- Contact form and registration support requests: when you use our registration support form or contact us, we collect information such as your name, email address, and any race-specific details needed to complete a registration (for example, date of birth, gender, T-shirt size, or emergency contact, depending on the event).
- Payment information: payments for our registration support service are processed by PayPal. We do not collect or store your card or PayPal account details ourselves; they are handled directly by PayPal under its own privacy policy.
- Website usage data: like most websites, we automatically collect standard usage data (pages visited, browser type, approximate location, referring site) through Google Analytics and related Google tools.
- Cookies: we use cookies for site functionality, analytics, and advertising. See our Cookie Policy for details.
2. How We Use Information
- To respond to inquiries and process registration support requests
- To communicate with you about a registration you have requested
- To operate, maintain, and improve this website
- To understand how visitors use the site, through aggregated analytics
- To display advertising, including through Google AdSense
3. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, which may collect or process data under their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics — website usage analytics
- Google AdSense — displays advertising on this site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more at Google’s Ads and Content Network Privacy Policy.
- Google Forms — used to collect information for registration support requests
- PayPal — processes payments for our registration support service
Because we and our third-party partners (including Google and PayPal) operate internationally, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one where you live, including the United States, which may have different data protection rules.
4. Cookie Consent (EEA / UK Visitors)
If you visit this site from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you will be shown a consent message before non-essential cookies (including advertising cookies) are set, and you can manage your preferences at any time through that consent tool.
5. Data Retention
We retain registration support request information only for as long as needed to complete your registration, respond to related questions, and meet our own record-keeping needs, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
6. Your Rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at [email protected]. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or similar regulations.
7. Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
