Limited technical information may be collected automatically when you visit the website, including:

• IP address
• browser and device type
• pages visited
• approximate location
• referring website
• date and time of visits

Analytics

Runs in Kent may use services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the website. Analytics services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect website usage information.

The website may use cookies for analytics and basic website functionality. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Running event information

Runs in Kent publishes information about running events in Kent and nearby areas. Event information may be collected from publicly available sources, event organisers and event websites.

Links to other websites

Runs in Kent contains links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of those websites.

Information you provide

If you contact Runs in Kent, we may receive information such as your name, email address, message and any organisation or event details you choose to provide.

This information will be used to respond to your enquiry or provide the service you requested. Runs in Kent does not sell your personal information.

Email newsletter

If you subscribe to The Busy Runner Brief or another Runs in Kent email update, we may collect your name, email address, the source of your signup and technical records relating to your subscription.

We use a double opt-in process. After submitting the signup form, you will receive a confirmation email and you will only be added to the active mailing list after you confirm your subscription.

We use your email address to send the newsletter and occasional Runs in Kent updates that are relevant to what you signed up to receive.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our marketing emails. Once unsubscribed, your address will no longer receive marketing emails unless you later choose to reactivate or subscribe again.

We also process delivery information such as hard bounces and spam complaints. If an email address permanently bounces or generates a complaint, we may mark that address as suppressed so that we do not continue sending to it. This helps protect recipients and maintain good email deliverability.

Runs in Kent uses Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) and related Amazon Web Services infrastructure to send and manage email delivery. Amazon may process email delivery data on our behalf as a service provider.

We do not sell subscriber information or use purchased, rented or scraped email lists.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to request access, correction or deletion and to object to or restrict certain processing.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
