1. Who we are
iRunSA is a digital athletics platform operated as part of the Felonk ecosystem. We support athlete registration, athlete profiles, event participation, official results, verified performances, shareable athlete CVs and federation-grade administration. Felonk (Pty) Ltd is the responsible party for personal information processed through iRunSA, unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
2. Athlete profile and performance information
We process athlete account details, identity or duplicate-prevention information, date of birth, gender, province, country, club or school, profile media, biography, public profile settings, event entries, timing data, personal bests, verification evidence, performance history and audit records connected to athlete administration.
Verified athlete CV information may include official iRunSA results, imported official results, manually submitted performances, supporting evidence, verification status, confidence scoring and review history.
3. Sharing within the athletics ecosystem
Athlete information, verification data, performance history and profile details may be shared with relevant governing and administrative athletics bodies for athletics-related operational, administrative, competitive, development, verification, ranking, compliance and athlete management purposes.
These recipients may include provincial athletics federations, national athletics federations, athlete clubs, coaches, athlete representatives, athlete managers, competition organisers, timing and results service providers, and authorised platform administrators. Examples include Central Gauteng Athletics and Athletics South Africa.
Sharing is limited to athletics-related purposes and is intended to support trusted athlete records, event administration, eligibility checks, competition operations, development pathways and federation reporting.
4. Visibility controls and public profiles
Athletes may control profile visibility where applicable. Supported visibility levels include Public, Public limited, Private, Federation only and Coach/manager only. Athletes may also control whether performances are public, whether contact information is public and whether downloadable PDF CVs are enabled.
Where a profile is public, the public may view the athlete's shareable profile, selected media, biography, PBs, verified performances and profile badges. Public limited profiles may expose a reduced profile surface. Private or restricted profiles are not intended for general public discovery.
Official result and participation information may still be visible inside sanctioned athletics ecosystems, event result pages, federation systems or competition administration workflows even where an athlete limits the broader marketing-style public profile.
5. Verification, evidence and audit trails
Verification evidence may include result links, PDFs, screenshots, official result data, timing imports, event participation records and review notes. We keep verification audit trails so that athletes, administrators and authorised athletics bodies can understand how a performance was reviewed, matched, accepted, rejected or marked for review.
Verified performances may be used for rankings, selections, qualification, statistical analysis, federation reporting, athlete monitoring and athlete development purposes.
6. Official result integrations and timing providers
iRunSA may receive or process result data from official event systems, timing providers, RFID timing systems, competition organisers and results service providers. This data may be matched to athlete profiles to create official result records, performance history, rankings and verified athlete CV entries.
7. Shareable CV links, QR codes, PDFs and media uploads
Athletes and authorised representatives may create shareable live profile links, QR codes and PDF outputs. Live profile sharing is preferred because it reflects current verification status and visibility controls. PDF exports are static snapshots and may become outdated after generation.
Media uploaded to profiles, CVs or verification workflows must be lawful to use and may be displayed publicly if the athlete enables public profile or media visibility.
8. Governing body, coach and manager access
Authorised federation administrators, coaches, managers and athlete representatives may access athlete information where needed for legitimate athletics administration. Access should be role-based, proportionate and connected to the relevant athlete, club, event, province, federation or administrative responsibility.
9. Lawful basis and POPIA principles
We process personal information to perform platform services, administer athlete records, support legitimate athletics ecosystem interests, comply with legal or regulatory duties, protect platform integrity and, where required, based on consent. We apply POPIA principles of purpose specification, processing limitation, openness, security safeguards, data subject participation and accountability.
We do not sell athlete personal information.
10. Retention
Account and profile information is retained while the account or athlete record remains active and for a reasonable period afterwards where required for dispute resolution, legal compliance, fraud prevention or athletics administration. Official results, participation records, verification audit trails and federation reporting records may be retained for longer because they form part of the sanctioned athletics record.
11. Your rights
You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or withdrawal of consent where applicable under POPIA. Some requests may be limited where official competition records, legal obligations, federation administration or legitimate athletics record-keeping require continued retention.
Send privacy requests to support@irunsa.co.za with the subject line "POPIA Rights Request".
12. Security
We use technical and organisational safeguards including access controls, TLS, platform logging, role-based administration and cloud security controls. No online platform can guarantee absolute security, so users should keep passwords secure and report suspicious activity promptly.
