Privacy Policy — Running 10

Quick Summary

• We collect only what is necessary to operate the site securely, respond to requests, and improve content quality.
• Common data includes device and usage information gathered automatically and information you submit in forms or messages.
• We do not sell personal information. Limited sharing with service providers occurs under contract and only for our instructions.
• You may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing. See “Your Rights” below.

Scope

This Policy covers information processed by Running 10 when you browse pages, read articles, use interactive components, or communicate with us. It does not cover third-party websites or services that we may reference; their policies govern their handling of information.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

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

Information collected automatically

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

How We Use Information

• Operate, maintain, and secure the website, including troubleshooting and diagnostics.
• Respond to messages, requests, and rights exercises submitted by visitors.
• Analyze aggregate traffic and performance to improve content and user experience.
• Enforce terms, protect our services from fraud or misuse, and comply with legal obligations.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where required by law (for example in the EEA/UK/Switzerland), we rely on one or more of the following bases:

• Consent: for optional cookies or communications that you opt into. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests: site 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 applicable laws.

How We Share Information

• Service providers: vendors that host infrastructure, deliver email, provide analytics in aggregate form, or help secure the site. They may use data only to perform services for us and must protect it appropriately.
• Compliance and safety: disclosures to competent authorities when required by law or necessary to protect rights, users, or the public.
• Business transfers: if we undergo reorganization, merger, or asset transfer, information may be included subject to this Policy.

We do not sell personal information.

Cookies and Controls

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

Data Retention

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

Security

We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; we review and improve controls on a regular basis.

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.
