Scope

This Policy covers information processed by Running 10 when you browse pages, read posts, use interactive components, or contact us. It does not cover third-party websites or services referenced by name; their policies apply to their handling of information.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Contact details: name and email address if you write to us.
• Message content: questions, feedback, or requests (including privacy requests).
• Preferences: cookie choices and display or accessibility settings you select.
• Records of requests: copies of privacy requests and our responses for compliance.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data: pages viewed, referring/exit pages, timestamps, and approximate location inferred from IP for security and reliability.
• Device and network data: browser type/version, device type, OS, screen size, and diagnostic logs used to detect errors or abuse.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small files that remember preferences, maintain sessions, measure aggregate traffic, and help protect the site.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where required (e.g., EEA/UK/Switzerland), we rely on one or more of the following bases:

• Consent: for optional cookies or communications that you opt into (withdrawable at any time).
• Legitimate interests: security, privacy-respecting analytics, and service improvement balanced against your rights.
• Contract: processing necessary to respond to requests you initiate.
• Legal obligation: processing required to comply with law.

How We Share Information

• Service providers: vendors that host infrastructure, deliver email, provide aggregated analytics, or help secure the site. They act under our instructions and must protect data appropriately.
• Compliance and safety: disclosures required by law or necessary to protect rights, users, or the public.
• Business transfers: information may be included in a reorganization, merger, or asset transfer, subject to this Policy.

We do not sell personal information.

Cookies & Controls

We use strictly necessary cookies for core functionality and optional cookies to understand aggregate traffic and remember preferences. You can manage cookies in your browser; blocking some cookies may affect site features. Where required, we request consent for optional cookies.

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described, to comply with legal duties, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When data is no longer required, we delete or de-identify it per our retention schedules.

Security

We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method is perfectly secure; we review and improve controls regularly.

International Transfers

Information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards—such as standard contractual clauses approved by regulators—to protect data during cross-border transfers.
