Privacy Policy

Last updated

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how RunSesh collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit runsesh.com.

Information We Collect

When you visit runsesh.com, we may collect certain information automatically. Like most websites, we use standard technologies including cookies and server logs to understand how our site is used. This may include the date and time of your visit, pages viewed, time spent on the site, referring URLs, and your IP address.

If you choose to contact us, subscribe to a newsletter, or submit information through any form on our site, we may also collect the personal details you provide, such as your name and email address.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve your experience. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of the site.

We may use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies for basic site functionality
  • Analytics cookies to understand traffic and usage patterns
  • Advertising or affiliate cookies to track referrals from affiliate links

IP Addresses

Your IP address is automatically collected by our web server as part of standard traffic data. This is used to deliver the pages you request and to help us analyze site performance and security. We do not use IP addresses to personally identify you.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve runsesh.com, respond to inquiries, send newsletters or updates you have opted into, and maintain the security of our site. We will not sell, rent, or share your personal information with unaffiliated third parties without your consent, except where required by law.

Email Communications

We are committed to keeping your email address confidential. We do not sell, rent, or lease our mailing list to any third party. If you subscribe to updates from RunSesh, your email will be used solely to send you relevant information about the site, new listings, and related content.

All emails from RunSesh will clearly identify the sender and include an unsubscribe link. You can opt out of communications at any time by clicking that link or contacting us directly.

RunSesh complies with the CAN-SPAM Act. Every commercial email we send will include accurate sender information and a clear, easy method to unsubscribe.

Some links on runsesh.com are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate tracking may use cookies. We only recommend products and services we believe are genuinely useful to our readers. See our Terms and Conditions for full affiliate disclosure details.

RunSignup

RunSesh participates in the RunSignup affiliate program, and the race registration links on our race pages are affiliate links.

When you click one of those links you leave runsesh.com, and RunSignup receives the standard information any website receives when you visit it: your IP address, browser and device details, and the fact that you arrived from RunSesh. The link also carries a tracking code identifying RunSesh as the referrer, so that any commission is credited to us. RunSignup may set its own cookies on your device at that point.

We do not send RunSignup your name, email address, or any other personal detail you have given us, and we do not receive your registration details, payment information, or race results back from them. If you register for a race, the information you enter is collected by RunSignup and the race organizer under their privacy policies, not this one. We encourage you to read RunSignup’s privacy policy before you register.

Race listings themselves are compiled from RunSignup’s public race data when we build the site. Simply browsing race pages on RunSesh sends nothing to RunSignup. That only happens when you click through.

runsesh.com may contain links to third-party websites, including run clubs, runners retreats, and other resources. RunSesh cannot guarantee the accuracy of information on external sites and is not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or products. Links to external sites do not constitute an endorsement by RunSesh.

Intellectual Property

All content on runsesh.com, including text, graphics, logos, and compiled listing data, is the property of RunSesh or its licensors and is protected by applicable copyright and trademark law. You may not republish, reproduce, sell, or redistribute any content from this site without prior written consent from RunSesh.

Acceptable Use

You agree to use runsesh.com only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe on the rights of others or interfere with anyone else’s use of the site. You must not use our site to send unsolicited communications or use our content for any commercial marketing purpose without our express written consent.

How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. Any sensitive data submitted through our site is transmitted using SSL encryption. We use monitoring tools to identify unauthorized access attempts and maintain the integrity of the site.

Please note that email is not a fully secure medium. We ask that you do not send sensitive personal information via email, though doing so is at your own discretion.

Spam Protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)

Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile, an invisible spam protection service. Turnstile may collect certain device and browser signals to determine whether a form submission is from a human or a bot. No personal information is stored or shared as part of this process. By using our forms, you acknowledge this processing. For full details, please review the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum.

Testimonials and User Submissions

Any testimonials or reviews that appear on runsesh.com reflect the individual experiences of real users. Results and experiences will vary. Testimonials are reviewed before publishing and may be lightly edited for grammar or length, but will not be altered in meaning. RunSesh does not endorse or take responsibility for the opinions expressed in user submissions.

Children’s Privacy

runsesh.com is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of information we hold about you. To make such a request, please contact us through our contact page.

Policy Changes

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy at any time. Any changes will be reflected by an updated date at the top of this page. We will not use your previously submitted personal information in ways that are materially inconsistent with this policy without your prior consent.
