Resilience Runners respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal data when you visit resiliencerunners.com, contact us, register for activities, or interact with our community.

This policy is designed for a community organisation operating in Ireland and reflects the transparency requirements of the GDPR and Irish data-protection framework. The Irish Data Protection Commission recommends that privacy notices reflect the organisation’s actual processing activities and are reviewed when those activities change.

1. Who We Are

Resilience Runners is a community running organisation based in Cork, Ireland.

For privacy enquiries, you can contact us:

Email: info@resiliencerunners.com
Location: Cork, Ireland

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number, if you provide it
• Information you submit through our contact or registration forms
• Event registration and participation information
• Messages or enquiries you send to us
• Social media interactions with our pages
• Website usage and technical information, where applicable
• Cookie and consent preferences

We only collect information that is relevant to the purpose for which it is being used.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

• Respond to enquiries and messages
• Manage community activities and event registrations
• Provide updates about runs and events where you have requested them
• Communicate important changes or information about an activity
• Improve our website and community services
• Understand how visitors use our website
• Manage our relationship with partners and community organisations
• Maintain website security and prevent misuse

We will not use your personal information for unrelated purposes without an appropriate legal basis and, where required, your consent.

4. Our Legal Basis

Depending on the circumstances, we may process personal data on the basis of:

• Consent — where you have voluntarily agreed to a specific use.
• Contract or steps at your request — where processing is necessary to provide a service or manage your participation.
• Legitimate interests — where appropriate and where our interests are balanced against your rights.
• Legal obligations — where processing is required by law.

Under GDPR, people must be given clear information about the purposes and legal basis for processing their personal data.

5. Event and Community Information

When you register for a Resilience Runners event, we may need basic information such as your name and contact details to organise the activity.

Please provide only the information necessary for participation.

We do not require you to disclose private medical or health information simply to join our community unless there is a specific and lawful reason for requesting it.

6. Photography and Video

Photos and videos may be taken during Resilience Runners events for community updates, website content and social media.

Where appropriate, we will provide information about photography at events and seek consent where required.

If you have concerns about an image of you appearing on our website or social media, please get in touch with us at info@resiliencerunners.com

7. WhatsApp and Social Media

We may use platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Meetup, YouTube or other social platforms to communicate with our community.

These platforms operate under their own privacy policies. Information you choose to share directly with those platforms is also subject to their terms and privacy practices.

We recommend reviewing the privacy settings of any third-party platform you use.

8. Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Necessary cookies may be used where they are required for the website to function.

Other cookies, such as analytics or marketing cookies, may require your consent under Irish ePrivacy rules. The Data Protection Commission states that consent for non-essential cookies should be a clear, affirmative choice and that users should be able to withdraw or change their consent.

You can manage your preferences through our cookie settings.

For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.

9. Third-Party Services

Our website may contain links, embedded content or services provided by third parties, such as:

• Social media platforms
• Event-registration services
• Google services
• Maps
• Website analytics
• Communication platforms

When you interact with a third-party service, that organisation may process your information under its own privacy policy.

We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites.

10. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

• Unauthorised access
• Loss
• Misuse
• Accidental disclosure
• Unauthorised alteration or destruction

However, no website or online communication system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless we are required to retain it for a longer period by law.

The appropriate retention period may depend on the type of information and why we collected it.

We periodically review information we hold and remove information that is no longer required.

12. Your Data Protection Rights

Under applicable data-protection law, you may have rights including:

• The right to access your personal data
• The right to correct inaccurate information
• The right to request deletion in certain circumstances
• The right to restrict processing in certain circumstances
• The right to object to certain processing
• The right to data portability where applicable
• The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions. GDPR Articles 12–14 set out important transparency requirements, while other GDPR provisions provide data-subject rights.

13. Withdrawing Consent

Where we process your information based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.

For cookie consent, you can change your preferences through our cookie-management tool. Irish guidance states that withdrawing cookie consent should be as easy as giving it.

14. Children’s Privacy

Our community activities and events may have specific age requirements.

Where an activity is intended for adults, we will clearly communicate the applicable age requirement.

We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information for purposes unrelated to our activities.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, technology or data-processing practices change.

The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently reviewed.

The DPC recommends keeping privacy notices dynamic and reviewing them when an organisation’s processing activities change.
