Your privacy is important to us.  The Half Moon Bay International Marathon (“HMBIM”) gathers certain types of information about you, so 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

HMBIM has partnered with the Active Network, Inc. ("Active") to register you for our events.  Active has agreed to provide HMBIM with personal information collected from people who make use of the Active services from HMBIM’s website.  However, be aware that Active operates independently from and has privacy and security policies wholly different from HMBIM.  Please contact “ActiveNetwork.com” to consult its privacy policy.  During the registration process HMBIM, 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  timing system for use in tracking (via electronic chip) runners and recording the results.  HMBIM provides finisher data (name, address and email) to the official timer for the HMBIM, for the purpose of timing and publishing the results from our events.  We do post event results on the Internet which include participants’ name, city, age, gender, and finishing time.  First and last names and valid email addresses are uploaded to a file at Mailchimp.com 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).  

HMBIM does not sell, rent or provide your non-public personal information to anyone other than as stated above.  Unless required by subpoena or other legitimate court-ordered request, HMBIM will not disclose or share your personally identifiable information with any individual, organization, company or non-affiliated third party.  HMBIM 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 Half Moon Bay International Marathon (and related events),  and is subject to change without notice except for publication on this website.
