Privacy Policy – Bubble Run

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us.

AT BUBBLE RUN WE HAVE A FEW FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES:

We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)

We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.

We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals. It is Bubble Run’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.


Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Bubble Run collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Bubble Run’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Bubble Run’s visitors use its website.

Bubble Run also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses when athlete’s register for a race and for users leaving comments on our site. Bubble Run only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the registration system where the athlete signed up at.


Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Bubble Run’s websites choose to interact with Bubble Run in ways that require Bubble Run’s to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Bubble Run gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, when signing up for a race, Bubble Run collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Bubble Run. Bubble Run does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities, like registering for an event.


Aggregated Statistics

Bubble Run may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Bubble Run may monitor the most popular posts on the site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Bubble Run may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Bubble Run does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.


Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Bubble Run discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Bubble Run’s behalf or to provide services available at Bubble Run’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Bubble Run’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Bubble Run will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Bubble Run discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Bubble Run’s believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Bubble Run, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of Bubble Run’s website, or if you’ve register for a Bubble Run event and have supplied your email address, Bubble Run may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Bubble Run and our events. We primarily use various blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. Each email communication will include a link to unsubscribe from future emails. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Bubble Run takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Bubble Run visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Bubble Run’s website, with the drawback that certain features of Bubble Run’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.


Business Transfers

If Bubble Run, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Bubble Run goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Bubble Run may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer.

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Bubble Run may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Bubble Run sole discretion. Bubble Run encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy.
