Privacy policy

Introduction and data collection

We take privacy and data protection very seriously. In fact we collect almost no data from our website visitors, only some required information from our participants. Any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with us is securely stored on our system. "Personal Information" means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, an email address or other contact information. You are solely responsible for your information, and Urban Photo Race acts as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your information. We do not collect or store any Personal Information that is not submitted by you through one of our online forms or the sale of tickets.

How we use Personal Information

Personal Information submitted to us will be used to contact you and to authenticate your access to the photo race.

All information submitted to us is restricted within our organisation. People who need the information for safety purposes are granted access to it. Your Personal Information is only used within the scope of Urban Photo Race activities, including, but not limited to, newsletters, email and messages.

You may be asked by third-party service providers to submit some of your Personal Information. This is done of your own accord and under that third party’s terms of use and privacy policy. This may happen when you buy tickets or pay for any other service we provide. We may request the Personal Information you submitted to a third party, solely to provide you with the full scope of our services, including, but not limited to, race-day participant information.

Urban Photo Race will not engage third parties who do not comply with our data privacy requirements. We do not share, sell or distribute your Personal Information with unrelated third parties, except under these limited circumstances: we will only disclose your Personal Information if we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is helpful or reasonably necessary to (i) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, (ii) enforce our Terms and conditions, including investigations of potential violations, (iii) detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (iv) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Urban Photo Race, the website, its users, yourself or the public.

You are entitled to ask for the removal and deletion of your Personal Information from our servers at any moment. We will do this as soon as possible, on request.

Cookies and other tracking technologies

This website sets no cookies of its own for visitors and uses no technology that follows you from page to page or from site to site. A cookie is a small text file that a website may leave in your browser, for example to recognise you on a later visit.

Some pages show content from other services, which come with their own policies: ticket links go to Eventbrite, and a video on a page comes from YouTube or Vimeo in their privacy modes, which set no cookies until you play the video. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them.

This website keeps one choice in your browser itself: your light or dark setting. It only makes the site look the way you asked. It is not shared with anyone and does not track you.

Website analytics

We count visits to this website with Cloudflare Web Analytics, a service of Cloudflare. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device and does not follow individual visitors: it counts page views, the page you came from, your country and the type of device and browser, in aggregate only. Your IP address is used to deliver the measurement, not to identify you. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in knowing how the website is used. Cloudflare processes the data for us and may do so in the United States, where Cloudflare, Inc. takes part in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics that sets cookies, and we do not use visitor data for advertising.

Information collected automatically

As on most websites, our server keeps a log of requests, such as your IP address, browser type, the page you came from and the time of the visit. We use it only to keep the website running and secure.

Our commitment

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Protecting privacy online is an evolving area, and this website evolves to meet it. If you have any comments or questions about this policy, contact us at info@urbanphotorace.com. We will address any issue to the best of our ability, as soon as possible.

Your consent

By using the Urban Photo Race website you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms and conditions, to the transfer of data abroad, and to Urban Photo Race processing Personal Information for the purposes given above. If you do not agree to all of the above, please do not use the website. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time. Your continued use of the website following the posting of changes means you accept those changes.
