This privacy policy (“Policy”) explains how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by Honolulu Marathon Association, (“Honolulu Marathon” or “we”) from the Sites.  This Policy applies to consumer users of the Honolulu Marathon’s websites with links to this Policy, including, but not limited to, honolulumarathon.org, thehapalua.com (collectively, “Sites”). By using the Sites, you expressly consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Policy.

1.              Information Collected by Us

(a)           Information You Provide.  We collect information about you in various ways when you use our Sites.  We collect personal information you provide to use.  For instance, if you register for a Honolulu Marathon event, we will collect your username, password, name, email address, phone number, birth date, gender, emergency contact information, and other information you provide during registration.  If you enter into a promotion, contest or sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”) sponsored by the Honolulu Marathon Association, we will collect information you provide for such Sweepstakes. We also collect information you provide us in newsletter sign-ups, feedback forms, emails, and surveys.  We may also obtain information from other sources (e.g., from our Registration Partners, Marketing Partners, and Sweepstakes Partners) or from you offline (e.g., at events) and combine that with information we collect on our Sites.

(b)           Information Automatically Collected.  When you visit our Sites, some information is automatically collected.  For example, when you visit our Sites, your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, access times, browser type and language, operating system, domain name, and the website you visited before you visited our Sites are logged automatically.  We also collect information about your usage and activity on our Sites:

(i)            Cookies.  We may automatically collect information using “cookies.”  Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive by a website.  Among other things, we use cookies to store visitors preferences, record session information, such as what items consumers add to their shopping cart, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, alert visitors to new areas that we think might be of interest to them when they return to our Sites, record past activity at a site in order to provide better service when visitors return to our Sites, ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, customize Web page content based on visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Sites.

(ii)          Web Beacons.  We may collect information using Web beacons (aka clear gifs). Web beacons are electronic images that may be used on our Sites or in our emails.

Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google.  Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Sites is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

(c)            Social Networks.  If you log in to one of the Sites with your login credentials from a social networking site (“SNS”), such as Facebook or Google+, we may receive personal and anonymous data about you from the SNS.  We may add this information to the information we have already collected from you via our Sites, and we may use it as described in this Policy.  We are not responsible for any errors in the information your SNS provides to us.  We may provide information about you to your SNS in accordance with your request (e.g., if you want to post something from our Sites to your Facebook wall), for your SNS’s own use, which will be subject to the SNS’s privacy policy.  We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for any SNS’s use of information we provide to it or for whether SNS complies with its own privacy policy.
