PRIVACY STATEMENT
To organise the Gelreman we need data from you: when you register, when you sign up as a volunteer and on the day itself. Below you'll find exactly which data, why, how long we keep it and what your rights are. This is a translation for your convenience; in the event of any discrepancy the Dutch text prevails.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
The controller for your data is Stichting Gelreman, established at Rijkerswoerdsestraat 4, 6661 NT Elst, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 73236543.
Do you have a question about your data, or would you like to exercise one of your rights? Email info@gelreman.nl. We respond within four weeks. The Gelreman has no data protection officer; an organisation of this size is not required to appoint one.
WHICH DATA, AND WHY
We collect no more than we need. For each purpose, the section below sets out which data that is, on what legal basis we process it and how long we keep it.
Registration as a participant
First name, surname, email address, date of birth, your club if you have one, the distance you choose and your payment details. We need your date of birth for the age categories in the results and to check that you meet the minimum age.
- Legal basis: performance of the contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Without this data we cannot let you start.
- Retention: we keep data about your participation until two years after the edition. Financial records are kept for seven years, because the Dutch tax authorities require it.
Your emergency contact
The name and telephone number of someone we may call if something happens to you out on the course. This person does not provide that data to us themselves, so we ask you to let them know.
- Legal basis: legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The safety of participants in a 226-kilometre race weighs heavily.
- Retention: deleted no later than three months after the race. After that it no longer serves a purpose.
Payment
Your payment runs through Mollie. We only see whether a payment succeeded and for what amount; your account number, credit card number or banking details never reach our own systems.
- Legal basis: performance of the contract.
- Retention: seven years (statutory retention obligation for financial records).
Newsletter
First name, surname and email address, which you enter yourself in the signup form on this site. We use them only to send you the newsletter, nothing else.
- Legal basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
- Retention: until you unsubscribe. Every newsletter carries an unsubscribe link; one click is enough.
Signing up as a volunteer
Name, email address, telephone number, your preferences for roles and time slots, and anything else you fill in yourself. The form runs through Tally.
- Legal basis: performance of the agreement about your contribution, and our legitimate interest in being able to organise the event.
- Retention: up to one year after the edition, so we can approach you for the next one. Would you rather we didn't? Let us know and we'll delete your data straight away.
Contact by email
Whatever you put in your message yourself: your name, your email address and your question.
- Legal basis: legitimate interest. We want to be able to answer your question.
- Retention: two years after the last contact.
Results and timing
Your race number, name, town, category and times. Timing is handled by a specialist company (race|result; MyLaps for earlier editions). Results are public. That comes with a race and is set out in the participant conditions.
- Legal basis: legitimate interest in a public race result.
- Retention: results stay online as a historical archive. If you have a compelling reason not to appear in the results, please contact us.
Photos and video
During the event our photographer and videographer capture images, which we use on the site and on our social media channels. You may be recognisable in them.
- Legal basis: legitimate interest in reporting on and promoting the event.
- You can object at any time. See the section on images below.
Website statistics
Only if you give consent do we use Google Analytics to measure how many people visit the site, which pages they read and how they find the site. Google Analytics does not store IP addresses; we see no names or email addresses.
- Legal basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw via 'Cookie preferences' at the bottom of every page.
- Retention: the cookies stay for two years; we keep the measurement data for as short a time as Google Analytics allows. If you don't give consent, nothing is measured and the measurement script isn't even loaded. See the cookie statement.
WHO DO WE SHARE DATA WITH?
We never sell your data and we don't pass it on for other parties' commercial purposes. We do engage service providers who process data on our behalf. With each of them we set out in a data processing agreement what they may do with your data.
We may also share data with the emergency services when that is necessary for your safety on race day, and with the Atletiekunie or the Dutch Triathlon Federation insofar as a licence or set of rules requires it.
TRANSFERS OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION
A number of our service providers are based in the United States or store data there: among others our host, our database, our email service, the newsletter platform and, if you consent to statistics, Google Analytics. For those transfers we rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
That means agreements are in place about the protection of your data, but that the level of protection in the US is not equivalent to the European one in every respect. We therefore deliberately limit what we send to those parties. For example, we host the fonts and videos on this site ourselves, precisely to prevent your IP address going to a third party on every visit.
HOW DO WE SECURE YOUR DATA?
The whole site runs over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Access to the participant records is limited to those board members who need it for their role, via personal accounts. We do not process payment details ourselves. Those stay with our payment service provider.
Do you suspect something is wrong with our security, or have you come across a leak? Email info@gelreman.nl. We'll pick it up and keep you informed.
YOUR RIGHTS
The GDPR gives you a number of rights. You exercise them by emailing info@gelreman.nl. We respond within four weeks and may ask you to identify yourself, so that we don't accidentally release someone else's data.
Access
You may request which data we hold about you and what we do with it.
Rectification
Is your data incorrect? Then we'll correct it.
Erasure
You may ask us to erase your data. That isn't always possible straight away. Financial records, for instance, are subject to a statutory seven-year retention obligation.
Restriction and objection
You can have processing suspended while a discussion is ongoing, and object to processing that rests on our legitimate interest, such as photography.
Portability
Data you provided yourself will, on request, be supplied to you or to another party in a common digital format.
Withdrawing consent
If you gave consent for the newsletter or for statistics, you may withdraw it at any time. That applies from that moment on; what happened before remains lawful.
Lodging a complaint
If we can't resolve it together, you can lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority via autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl. You always have that right, even without coming to us first.
PHOTOS AND VIDEO: HOW TO OBJECT
The photo gallery and our social channels contain photos in which participants, volunteers and spectators are recognisable. We don't publish images that embarrass anyone, and we'll remove a photo on request.
Are you in a photo you'd rather not see online? Email info@gelreman.nl with a description or a link to the photo. We'll take it offline within five working days. You don't need to give a reason.
MINORS
A minimum age applies to participation; it's set out in the race rules. If a participant is under sixteen, we only process their data with the consent of a parent or guardian. If you think we hold a child's data without that consent, let us know and we'll delete it.
CHANGES
If anything changes in the way we handle data, we'll update this statement. The date at the bottom shows when that last happened. In the event of a significant change we'll announce it actively, for example via the newsletter.
