What we collect
We collect the information you give us directly. That means the fields you fill in on our forms: event submissions, directory listings, promotion and partnership requests, contact messages, and email newsletter signups. Files you attach to a promotion request are included.
We also collect basic technical information that any website receives when you visit — your browser type, device, approximate location from your IP address, and which pages you viewed.
How we use it
- To publish the events, listings and content you submit for publication.
- To reply to your questions, quotes and requests.
- To send the Track Moms newsletter, if you asked for it.
- To understand which parts of the site are useful and improve them.
What we do not do
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your email address with advertisers. When an advertiser sponsors content or a placement, they receive performance information about the placement — not a list of the people who saw it.
Information you submit for publication
Event listings and directory listings are meant to be public. Anything you submit in those forms for publication — business name, event details, website, service area, public contact details — will appear on the site. Contact details you give us for our own use, such as your personal phone number, are not published unless you ask us to publish them.
Payments
When you buy an upgrade, placement or promotion, payment is handled by Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe and never reach us. To help prevent fraud, Stripe asks for your name, billing address, email and phone number; we keep your name, email and phone with the order so we can reach you about it, and use them for nothing else. Stripe's own privacy policy covers what it does with your payment information.
Service providers
We use third parties to run the site — hosting, email delivery, analytics, form processing and payment processing. They handle information on our behalf and only for that purpose.
Children
Track & field is a youth sport, so this matters here more than on most sites. Track Moms is intended for adults — parents, coaches, athletes of legal age, meet directors and business owners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, email us and we will delete it.
Your choices
Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. You can ask us to correct or remove a listing, or to delete information you have sent us, by emailing info@trackmoms.com.
Analytics
We measure how the site is used — which pages are visited, where visitors arrive from and what gets clicked — so we can make it better. We use PostHog for this, set up to use no cookies and to store nothing on your device, which also means it cannot recognise you when you come back. It receives your IP address, from which it works out your approximate location, and the kind of browser and device you are using. Pages reached through a private link, such as a link to manage your listing or to unsubscribe, are not recorded.
Cookies
The site stores a small amount of information in your browser for basic functionality — for example, remembering that you have closed a welcome message, or whether you prefer to see events as a calendar or as cards. You can clear or block this in your browser; parts of the site may not work as well if you do.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
