PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 29 October 2026.
This policy explains what personal data the europemarathon.eu website collects, what it is used for, on what legal basis, who receives it, how long it is kept and what rights each person has. Registration for the Europe Marathon takes place on the app.globalsport.pt platform, which provides its own privacy information.
WHO PROCESSES THE DATA
The controller is GSX Portugal, Unipessoal, Lda., owner of the GlobalSport brand, company number (NIPC) 514 779 012. For any matter concerning personal data, the contact is [email protected].
WHAT DATA WE COLLECT, WHY AND ON WHAT BASIS
The legal basis for each processing activity comes from Article 6(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
| Situation | Data | Purpose | Legal basis | How long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contact form | Name, email, phone number and message | To answer the request and follow it up | Steps requested by the data subject, point (b), when the request concerns a registration or taking part in the race. Legitimate interest in answering those who write to us, point (f), in other cases | As long as it takes to answer and follow up the request. Without a registration, up to 24 months after the last contact |
| Volunteer form | Name, email, phone number, address, date of birth, availability and motivation | To assess the application and organise the volunteer team | Legitimate interest in selecting and organising the race volunteers, point (f) | Up to 24 months after the last contact |
| Form protection (Google reCAPTCHA) | Technical data about the browser and device and how the page is used | To tell people apart from automated programs and stop spam | Legitimate interest in protecting the website and its forms, point (f) | The period set by Google for reCAPTCHA |
| Audience measurement (Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity) | Pages viewed, clicks, technical device data and identifiers stored in cookies | To understand how the website is used and improve it | Consent, point (a) | In Google Analytics, at most 14 months of event data. In Clarity, the period set by Microsoft |
| Advertising (Meta Pixel) | Pages viewed and identifiers stored in cookies | To measure and show Europe Marathon campaigns on Facebook and Instagram | Consent, point (a) | The period set by Meta |
| YouTube videos | IP address, technical data and YouTube identifiers | To show the video requested | Consent, point (a), given by accepting the Advertising category or by clicking «Watch the video» | The period set by Google |
| Server technical logs | IP address, date and time, page requested and browser | To keep the website secure and running | Legitimate interest in protecting the website, point (f) | Up to 6 months |
| Record of the cookie choice | The choice made in the cookie notice | To respect the choice and be able to demonstrate it | Legal obligation to demonstrate consent, point (c) | 6 months, in the visitor’s browser |
Where the basis is legitimate interest, the interest is the one described in the table. Anyone may object to that processing at any time by email to [email protected].
Measurement and advertising data are only collected after the visitor accepts those categories in the cookie notice. The Cookie Policy describes each cookie, who sets it and how long it lasts.
WHETHER PROVIDING DATA IS MANDATORY
Nobody is obliged to provide personal data. In the forms, the fields marked as required are the ones we need in order to answer or to assess the application, and without them we cannot handle the request. Analytics and advertising cookies are optional, and refusing them does not prevent use of the website.
WHO RECEIVES THE DATA
Messages sent through the forms reach the GlobalSport team. The data also reach the suppliers that provide services to the website:
- Hostinger, website hosting and sending of form emails, with the server in France;
- Cloudflare, the network that delivers the website and protects it from attacks;
- Dash Digital, the agency that manages the website and receives a copy of form messages to provide technical support;
- Google, with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, reCAPTCHA and YouTube;
- Microsoft, with Clarity;
- Meta, with the Meta Pixel;
- Ride with GPS, which displays the route maps.
Each supplier processes the data under the terms agreed with GlobalSport or, where it is responsible for its own service, under its own privacy policy.
TRANSFERS OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION
Google, Microsoft, Meta and Cloudflare may process data in the United States. All four are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission recognised as adequate in Implementing Decision (EU) 2023/1795, and that is the safeguard for these transfers. Ride with GPS is based in the United States and receives the IP address and technical browser data of anyone who clicks «Show the maps» to see a route map.
EACH PERSON’S RIGHTS
Anyone may ask for access to their data, have it corrected or erased, restrict processing, object to processing and receive the data they provided in a commonly used format (portability). Requests are made by email to [email protected] and are answered within one month, which the law allows to be extended in complex cases.
Anyone who has given consent may withdraw it at any time, as easily as it was given. For cookies, simply open the settings with the button in the bottom left corner of the screen or in the Cookie Policy. Withdrawing consent does not make unlawful what was done before.
Anyone who believes their data has not been handled properly may lodge a complaint with the Portuguese data protection authority, Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), at www.cnpd.pt.
AUTOMATED DECISIONS
The website does not make solely automated decisions that produce legal effects or significantly affect those who use it. reCAPTCHA gives each form submission a score that is only used to filter out spam. Anyone who sends a message and gets no reply can write directly to [email protected].
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
The website links to third-party websites, such as the registration platform and social networks. Each of those websites has its own privacy policy.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
This policy changes whenever the way the website handles personal data changes. The date of the last update is at the beginning of the text.
