Privacy Policy

Privacy of your personal information is important. Below, we explain what types of personal information we may receive and collect when you visit HowToRunGuide.com, and how we safeguard your information.

We will never sell your personal information to third parties – that’s a promise.

 

Site Viewing Data and Analytics

HowtoRunGuide.com use Google Analytics to track website traffic and audience statistics. No personally identifiable information is transferred from the Website to Google Analytics.

 

Cookies and Beacons

We may use third party advertisements on HowtoRunGuide.com in order to support our site and keep it running. Some, or all, of these advertisers may use cookies or web beacons, which are used to send certain information (like your ISP, your browser, or your IP address) to better supply content to you. You may chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, and this information will no longer be able to be collected by our third party advertisers.

 

Newsletter, Email and Comments

We may receive your email address when you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter, our blog post digest email list, or comment on a post. For the newsletter, your email address is then stored with our email provider, currently MailerLite (which is subject to change without notice), and we will never, ever share your email address with anyone. You may unsubscribe at any time.

 

Affiliate Marketing

HowtoRunGuide.com may participate in affiliate marketing programs. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we will receive a commission on that product. To track your purchases, a cookie is placed on your browser for the purposes of assigning commission on these sales. We only talk about products we trust and believe in – some posts may contain affiliate links, and some won’t (we will still recommend our favorite running product if there is no affiliate for it).

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

• IP Address
• Operating System type
• Operating System version
• Device Type
• Language of the website
• Web browser type
• Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising.
