Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 5, 2026

Welcome to FOOTParkland (“Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal information is handled safely and responsibly.

This Privacy Policy describes how FOOTParkland collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User” or “Subscriber”) of the https://www.footparkland.com website (the “Site”) and our digital membership services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information directly from you when you register on our site, subscribe to a membership, fill out a form, or communicate with us.

a. Personal Identification Information

We may collect personal details, including but not limited to:

  • Account Credentials: Name, display username, and email address.
  • Billing Information: Country, billing address, zip/postal code, and purchase history. (Note: Payment card details are never processed or stored on our servers; see Section 4).

b. Non-Personal Identification Information

We may automatically collect technical and device details whenever you interact with our Site:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system and device configuration
  • Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • Access times, pages viewed, referring URLs, and navigation patterns

c. Web Browser Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our Site utilizes “cookies” and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, preserve active user login sessions, and analyze site performance. You may configure your browser settings to reject cookies; however, certain features (such as accessing member-only content or keeping your account logged in) may not function properly without them.

2. How We Use Collected Information

FOOTParkland uses your information for the following legitimate business purposes:

  • To Provide and Deliver Services: To manage your digital membership, authenticate login credentials, and grant continuous access to our digital journal archives, running routines, and technical guides.
  • To Process Transactions: To administer monthly billing, renewals, cancellations, and invoices.
  • To Improve Site Functionality: To optimize digital media delivery, assess user engagement, and fix technical errors.
  • To Communicate with You: To send service-related notifications, security alerts, customer support responses, and billing confirmations.
  • To Maintain Security & Prevent Fraud: To detect and prevent unauthorized access, fraudulent charges, and abusive behavior.

3. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR / International Users)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our legal basis for collecting and using your personal information depends on the context:

  • Contractual Necessity: To perform our obligations under our Terms of Service (e.g., providing membership access and billing).
  • Legitimate Interests: To ensure website security, prevent payment fraud, and improve our services.
  • Legal Obligation: To comply with tax, accounting, and anti-fraud regulations.

4. Payment Processing & Third-Party Service Providers

We prioritize the security of your financial data. FOOTParkland does not store, capture, or transmit raw credit card numbers or sensitive CVV codes on our servers.

All payment processing for subscriptions ($24.99/month) and digital media passes is delegated directly to our secure payment gateway partner, Stripe, Inc.

  • When you submit payment information at checkout, that data is transmitted securely and encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) directly to Stripe.
  • Stripe’s use and handling of your financial information is governed by their Privacy Policy, accessible at: https://stripe.com/privacy.
We may also share non-sensitive personal data with trusted third-party service providers that assist us in operating our website, conducting infrastructure maintenance, or providing CDN security (such as Cloudflare), provided that such parties agree to keep this information strictly confidential.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide you with membership access. We will also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with legal obligations (such as tax and accounting laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you cancel your membership or delete your account, your data will be deactivated or anonymized in accordance with applicable retention schedules.

6. Data Security

We implement standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Sensitive and private data exchange between the Site and its Users takes place over an SSL/TLS encrypted communication channel.
