PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

As of May 25, 2018, the GDPR or European Regulation for the Protection of Personal Data came into force, determining under what conditions data submitted to a third party may or may not be used. Of course, this concerns us as well, as we collect your data for the purpose of registering for the competition, so please keep the following in mind:

- We will use the data received from you exclusively for the purpose of your registration for the competition. This data will only be publicly disclosed in two cases – the publication of the list of competitors and the publication of the competition results. Since the competition itself would not make sense without your data and it is placed online solely for your information, according to regulations, its use is voluntary, and its publication is permitted.

- During each registration through the www.stotinka.hr system, to continue filling out the data, you must agree to the terms of use, which includes the GDPR regulation. If you have any objections to the publication of your data in the form of starting and finishing lists, please contact us so that we can remove you from them. By doing so, however, the purpose of your participation in the competition is lost, and you lose your position in it, but we are obliged to do so if you request it.

- From the moment of your registration for the competition until the actual competition takes place, you will receive several emails from us with information related to the competition and registration for it, all still within the context of your voluntary participation in it.

- The data that will be publicly disclosed before the competition are: your name, your club, your country, and the competition you are registering for. Other data such as your date of birth, email address, home address, city, and all other requested data will remain in our database until the end of the competition, for the purpose of intervention towards the competitor in case of unforeseen circumstances. Data will be deleted after the competition, and only the results will remain publicly displayed, including data such as your race number, name, surname, country, club, category, gender, and position.

- We may not and will not use your data for other purposes, nor sell them to third parties for remarketing purposes.
