Cookies, Pixels Tags, Local Shared Objects, Web Storage and Similar Technologies:

Our Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and other similar technologies to help us ensure that the Service function properly, prevent fraud and other harm, and analyze and improve the Service in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our Cookie Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us at DPO@hakusports.com.

What are cookies, pixel tags (aka clear GIFs or web beacons), local shared objects and web storage?

  • Cookies:  A cookie is a piece of information that is placed on your web browser when you access and/or use the Service that stores text and which can later be read back by the Service or third parties. They are used to recognize your browser.
  • Pixel Tags (aka Clear GIFs or Web Beacons):  A pixel tag is a tiny invisible tag or graphic placed on certain parts of the Service, in e-mails or in certain other downloadable content, but not on your computer, mobile device or browser.
  • Local Shared Objects (aka Flash Cookies):  A local shared object is similar to a cookie, except it is stored on your computer or mobile device, instead of your browser, and it can store more than just text. The methods for controlling local shared objects are different than the methods for controlling cookies (as discussed below).
  • Web Storage (aka HTML5 Local Storage):  Web storage methods are similar to cookies but can store more information than cookies and usually store that information on a persistent basis.

How can I manage these technologies?

  • Cookies:  Cookies may be session cookies (i.e., last only for one browser session) or persistent cookies (i.e., continue in your browser until they are affirmatively deleted). You can manage cookies through your web browser's option settings and through those settings you may be able (i) to receive notifications when you are receiving new cookies, (ii) to disable cookies, or (iii) to delete cookies. Please refer to your web browser's help section for information on how to do this.
  • Pixel Tags:  Pixel tags do not store information on your computer, mobile device or browser (although they are occasionally downloaded to your computer if contained in an e-mail or other downloadable content) so cannot be managed by you.
  • Local Shared Objects:  Local shared objects are stored on your computer or mobile device. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for local shared objects visit http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html.
  • Web Storage:  Web Storage, or HTML5 Local Storage, is an industry-standard data storage technology that is implemented by browser manufacturers. Refer to your browser's help contents for procedures on how to manage settings for Web Storage.

What do you use these technologies for?

  • Essential (strictly necessary):  We use these technologies in a way that is essential for the operation of our Service. For example, we may use cookies to determine where to route your traffic to effectively distribute the workload across numerous computers.
  • Performance/Analytics:  We use these technologies to analyze how you use our Service and to monitor our Service. For example, we may place cookies that allow us (1) to measure the time of your requests to our servers and our responses, (2) to A/B test new features, (3) to record statistics about site usage, and (4) to track your activities on the Service.
  • Functionality:  We use these technologies to allow us to provide certain functionality on the Service and to remember your preferences. For instance, when you click the “remember me” box on our log in page we place a persistent cookie on your browser that allows our Service to pre-populate your e-mail address when you return. Other examples include remembering your preferences (such as language and location preferences), preventing web application vulnerabilities, allowing for Facebook Connect and other third party integrations, and in connection with providing search results.

Does anybody else use these technologies on the Service?

Most of the cookies and other technologies described above on our Service are set by us or are used in connection with the Service and set by third party service providers at our direction (“Third Party Cookies”). We may use Third Party Cookies with respect to each of the uses set forth above. For example, we use technologies from Google Analytics to measure performance/analytics and technologies from Facebook to provide Facebook Connect functionality. Occasionally, Organizers may use these technologies on their event pages for their own purposes in accordance with each Organizer’s privacy policy and terms and conditions.

4. Non-Personal Data:

We collect and create de-identified and aggregated information and other non-Personal Data, which does not identify an individual personally (“Non-Personal Data”). You agree that haku owns without restriction all Non-Personal Data.

USE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED AND/OR PROCESSED:

1. Personal Data:

Organizers:  We use the Personal Data we collect from you only where necessary for the performance of our agreement with you, where necessary for compliance with a legal obligation we are subject to, where necessary to pursue our legitimate business interests, or where you have given consent where required under applicable law. We may use the Personal Data as follows:

  • Specific Reason:  If you provide Personal Data for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by e-mail, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem and will respond to the e-mail address from which the contact came.
  • Access and Use:  If you provide Personal Data in order to obtain access to or use of the Service or any other functionality, we will use your Personal Data to provide you with access to or use of the Service or any other functionality and to monitor your use of such Service or other functionality. For instance, if you supply payment information (e.g., bank account or credit card information) to the Service for the purpose of processing Payments as an Organizer, we will use that information to facilitate such purchases and/or process such Payments.
  • Internal Business Purposes:  We may use your Personal Data for legitimate internal business purposes, including, without limitation, to help us improve the content and functionality of the Service, to better understand our users, to improve the Service, to protect against, identify, or address wrongdoing, to enforce our Terms of Service, to manage your account and provide you with customer service, and to generally manage the Service and our business.
  • Marketing:  We may use your Personal Data to contact you in the future for our marketing and advertising purposes, including, without limitation, to inform you about services or events we believe might be of interest to you and to develop promotional or marketing materials and provide those materials to you. We use your Personal Data in this way given our legitimate interest in undertaking marketing activities to offer you products or services that may be of interest to you. Where an activity under this section may fall outside of our legitimate interests, we will obtain your consent prior to using your Personal Data in this way. Where haku contacts you by phone, text message, or voicemail using an automatic telephone dialing system, auto-dialer, or mass text message mailer, we will always obtain your express written consent prior to sending the communication. You can opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by following the unsubscribe instructions included in our marketing communications, changing your notification settings within the Service, or contacting DPO@hakusports.com with your opt-out request.

If we intend to use any Personal Data in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed of, and asked to consent to, such anticipated use prior to or at the time at which the Personal Data is collected, or we will obtain your consent subsequent to such collection but prior to such use.

Participants:   The applicable Organizer determines what Personal Data is collected, for what purpose that Personal Data is collected and used, and in what manner that Personal Data is used. We do not use or otherwise process any Personal Data or other information collected from Participants, except per the terms of haku’s agreement with the applicable Organizer or other lawful instructions from that Organizer. Organizers may use the Service to contact Participants regarding Organizers’ current and past events according to their privacy policies and terms and conditions, so you may receive e-mails from our system that originate with such Organizers. We do not send e-mails from our system to Participants, except per the terms of haku’s agreement with the applicable Organizer or other lawful instructions from that Organizer.

Visitors:  We only use your Personal Data for the specific reason initiated by you. For instance, if you contact us by e-mail, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem and will respond to the e-mail address from which the contact came. We do not store your Personal Data for any other reason and promptly delete your Personal Data once the specific reason for the use has been extinguished.

2. Non-Personal Data:

Because Non-Personal Data cannot be used to personally identify you, we may use such information for any lawful purpose.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED AND/OR PROCESSED:

1. Personal Data:

Whether you are an Organizer, a Participant, or a Visitor, we are not in the business of selling your Personal Data. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. We do not sell your Personal Data to third parties, including third party advertisers. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may disclose, transfer, or share your Personal Data with certain trusted third parties without further notice to you, based on the legitimate interests set forth below:

Business Transfers:  As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets. You acknowledge and agree that any successor to or acquirer of haku (or its assets) will continue to have the right to use your Personal Data and other information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. In the event the privacy policy of any successor to or acquirer of haku will instead apply to your Personal Data and other information, we will notify you before your Personal Data and other information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Subsidiaries and Affiliates:  We may also share your Personal Data with our subsidiaries and/or affiliates for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy. Our subsidiaries and affiliates will be bound to maintain that Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties:  We, like many businesses, sometimes engage third parties to perform certain business-related functions for us. Examples of such functions include mailing information, registration fulfillment, fraud prevention, maintaining databases, and processing Payments. When we engage a third party to perform such functions, we may provide them with information, including Personal Data, in connection with their performance of such functions.

Facebook and Other Third Party Connections:  You can sign up with haku using your Facebook account or connect your haku account to your Facebook account and other accounts on similar third party services, in which case we may disclose or transfer information relating to your haku account, including Personal Data, with such third party services solely to ensure the functionality of such connection and comply with your request to make such connection in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For example, if you connect with Facebook and wish to share a race finish time with your Facebook friends, we will provide Facebook with your race finish time. We never request and/or collect your Personal Data from any of these third party connections.

Legal Requirements:  We may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law (including, without limitation responding to a subpoena or request from law enforcement, court or government agency) or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary (i) to comply with a legal obligation, (ii) to protect or defend our rights, interests or property or that of third parties, (iii) to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service, (iv) to act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public, or (v) to protect against legal liability.

2. Non-Personal Data:

Because Non-Personal Data cannot be used to personally identify you, we may share such information for any lawful purpose.

Use of Sub-processors

To support in delivering its service, haku engages Service Providers to assist with its data processing activities on behalf of Organizers as defined in our Terms of Service. Certain service providers are sub-processors who have or potentially will have access to or process personal data that haku processes for, and on behalf of Organizers. Before engaging any service provider, haku performs a due diligence, including a vendor assessment which evaluates the security, privacy and confidentiality practices of proposed sub-processors that will or may have access to or otherwise process Service Data. In the context of an onward transfer, haku has responsibility for the processing of personal information it receives under the EU-U.S. DPF Principles, and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. Haku shall remain liable under the Principles if its agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless haku proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
