Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

Maratona Clube de Portugal processes personal data of Athletes and of the holders of parental responsibility (when the athlete is a minor) for the following purposes:

  1. Regular organization of the Event.
  2. Preparation of results/ranking tables.
  3. Sending important information regarding participation in the Event.

  8. Sharing personal data with partners/sponsors for marketing actions.

Legitimate Interests

MCP has a legitimate interest in using the Athlete’s image for marketing its events.
Authorization is not required for capturing the Athlete’s image since its reproduction is framed within publicly occurring events under Article 79(2) of the Portuguese Civil Code.

MCP has a legitimate interest, within the context of providing the service covered by the Regulation, in using the Athlete’s or guardian’s contact details for direct marketing of its own products or services similar to those contracted, under the law governing personal data processing and privacy in electronic communications (Law No. 41/2004 of August 18).

Source of Personal Data

Obtained from holders of parental responsibility of the Athlete.

Categories of Recipients

  1. Service providers who access personal data within contracted services.
  2. Insurance company, within the scope of the sports insurance contract.

The above periods do not prevent retention beyond that time in case of pending legal action, in which case data will be deleted three (3) months after the final court decision becomes final.
