2. Who We Are

​

Omnia Community Ltd is the data controller responsible for the personal data collected through our website and in connection with the organisation and administration of the Community RunFest event.

As the data controller, we determine the purposes and means by which your personal data is processed.

Our mission is to empower individuals and communities to improve their health, wellbeing, and happiness through movement, community engagement, and connection with nature.

​

To deliver and manage Community RunFest, we may work with trusted third-party providers, including:

​

  • Event registration platforms

  • Website hosting services

  • Technology providers

 

Some of these third parties may act as independent data controllers, meaning they determine how your personal data is processed in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Where third parties act as data processors, they only process personal data on our instructions and in accordance with contractual data protection obligations.

The type of information we collect depends on how you interact with us.
