1. Scope and Organization

Who controls your information

This Privacy Policy applies to the services offered through Marathon Roster, operated by Create Solutions and owned and operated by My Source Co Ltd. ("we", "us", or "our").

When you visit our website, register for any onsite or virtual marathon event, claim race merchandise, or browse race standings, you entrust us with personal data. We act as the Personal Information Controller under Republic Act No. 10173 (The Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Republic of the Philippines).

2. Personal Data We Collect

Information required for race participation

Runner Identity

Full name, birth date, gender, nationality, and ID verification when claiming kits or submitting waivers.

Contact & Delivery

Mobile phone number, email address, physical delivery address (Region, Province, City, Barangay) for J&T shipping.

Emergency & Medical

Emergency contact person name, relationship, and contact number for runner medical safety during race events.

Activity & Timing Records

Assigned bib number, wave category, RFID split/finish times, GPS activity tracks, and Strava synchronization data.

3. How We Use Your Data

Purposes for processing

  • Race Administration: Generate bib numbers, prepare singlets and finisher merchandise according to sizes, and allocate race corrals.
  • Transactional Alerts: Send SMS confirmation codes, email receipts, e-bib vouchers, and race day advisory notifications.
  • Event Results & Certificates: Calculate split times, pace, rankings, and issue downloadable official finisher certificates.
  • Health and Safety: Provide emergency responders with essential contact details in case of on-course medical incidents.

4. Race Timing, Leaderboards & Photography

Publicly displayed elements

Running marathons is inherently a public sports activity. By participating, you acknowledge that your:

  • Bib number, first name, last name initial, race distance, gun time, and chip time will appear on public result boards.
  • On-course event photographs taken by authorized race photographers may be indexed by bib number for runner retrieval and public viewing in event galleries.

If you have legitimate safety reasons requiring privacy exclusion from public result leaderboards, please contact our team prior to race day.

5. Payments & Race Kit Courier

Third-party processors and partners

Payment Security: Online transactions (GCash, Maya, Debit/Credit Card) are processed directly through PCI-DSS Level 1 certified gateways (including PayMongo). Marathon Roster does not store your full card number, CVV, or bank credentials on our servers.

Shipping Services: For participants choosing doorstep delivery, receiver name, mobile number, and destination address are shared securely with verified logistics partners (such as J&T Express Philippines) solely for fulfillment and tracking generation.

6. Data Security and Retention

Protection standards

We implement strict administrative, technical, and physical safeguards:

Encrypted Transit

TLS 1.3 encryption across all website and API communication.

Role-Based Access

Restricted permissions ensure staff only view relevant race scopes.

Audit Trails
