Privacy Policy

Iron Horse Run Club is a community running club based in the San Francisco Bay Area. This policy explains what information we collect through ihrun.club, why we use it, and the choices available to you.

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Information you provide, such as an email address submitted to receive run details, a message sent to the club, or information included in a story or photo you choose to share.
• Basic usage information, such as pages viewed, approximate device and browser information, referring pages, and interaction events when analytics are permitted.
• Preference information, including theme and consent choices stored in your browser.
• Technical request data, such as IP address, timestamps, and security logs that our hosting and infrastructure providers process to deliver and protect the site.

We use information only for practical club and website purposes:

• Sending the run details or reply you requested.
• Operating, troubleshooting, and securing the website.
• Measuring aggregate site activity and improving the information we publish.
• Publishing club stories, photos, and credits when permission has been provided.
• Meeting legal obligations and responding to valid requests.

We may share limited information with vendors that help us host the website, deliver email, understand site performance, display maps, or protect the service. These providers may process information only as needed to perform those services under their own terms and privacy practices.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights or safety of the club and its community, or as part of a reorganization of the website. Links to Guilee.mn, social networks, race organizers, maps, and other third-party sites are governed by those services’ policies.

The website may use necessary browser storage for consent and theme preferences. With your permission, analytics services may measure visits and interactions so we can understand how the site is used.

See our Cookie Policy for the categories we use and how to change your preferences.

You may:

• Decline optional analytics in the consent banner.
• Reopen Cookie settings from the footer and update your selection.
• Ask us to access, correct, or delete information you provided, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention needs.
• Ask us to remove a club photo or story associated with you when we control the content.

To make a privacy request, email hello@ihrun.club. We may need enough information to verify and complete your request.

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including responding to requests, maintaining records, resolving issues, and complying with law. Retention periods vary by the type of information and the service involved.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no online system is completely secure. Please avoid sending sensitive personal, health, financial, or account information through general club contact channels.

The website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided information may contact us to request its removal.

We may update this policy as the club, website, or applicable rules change. The date at the top shows the latest revision. Material changes will be presented on the website when appropriate.

Questions or requests about privacy can be sent to hello@ihrun.club.
