The association members of Swiss Runners undertake to comply with the following principles of data protection when organising and carrying out race events. 

Commitment to the protection of personal data

The protection of the personal data of our runners is important to us. A breach of data protection can lead to a loss of confidence on the part of the runners and the public and endanger the organisation of running events. Therefore, we act in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GPDR) and the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), insofar as the respective provisions apply in individual cases.

In addition to this data protection declaration, reference is made to the online data protection declaration (insert LINK to the data protection provisions of the event homepage). We have commissioned Datasport .. for the timing and/or the provision of other services and refer additionally to their data protection regulations.

Outsourcing of data processing (order processing)

Companies who work for us on behalf of us for the organisation and execution of running events, the processing of registrations (online, offline), the administration of participants' data, collection, timekeeping, results service, start number processes, participant recruitment and information process the data on our behalf and for our purposes. According to the law, we are obliged to control the data processing by these companies and to oblige them not to process the data for their own purposes or to pass it on to unauthorised third parties.

Registration of data collection with the FDPIC

We register our data collections with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 13 para. 1 FADP. If the data are processed for the fulfilment of a contract with the data subject, including pre-contractual measures, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR or Art. 13 para. 2 lit. a FADP. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR or Art. 13 para. 1 FADP serves as the legal basis for the processing. This applies, for example, to marketing, provided you have not objected to the use of your data for marketing purposes.

Data processing for the running event

Only the runners' last name, first name, year of birth, address and e-mail address are required as mandatory information for registration and execution of the running event. Further data is only collected on a voluntary basis and only if it is necessary for the provision of a further service. We process this data for the purpose of running events, including the delivery of information about your participation and the starting documents (digital start package) as well as a feedback request after the run. The processing takes place for the execution of the contract that you have concluded with us as well as on the basis of a predominant interest on our part.

Creation and publication of start and ranking lists

The name, first name, year of birth, place of residence, category and duration are published in rankings. The complete address will not be published.

At the event, times are recorded at various points when passing by and electronically assigned to the crossing runner via a transponder. Lap and/or track times for the runners are determined from this data set and result lists are formed from this. These data will be published during and after the event on site and on the Internet as well as in print media if necessary. The ranking lists will be published on the website of the organizer and on the website of the timing providers Datasport, as well as integrated into Swiss Athletics' list of the best.

The publication of the data serves the comparison of the participants with each other typical of competitions. The runner may request that after 6 months after the end of the event his or her name be removed from the publicly available results list.

The processing of the data, the creation and publication of the rankings serve the fulfilment of the contractually owed service. The publication of the data on a ranking list after 6 months is based on a predominant own interest of the organizer.
