Empowering Filipina Athletes Through Race Ya

Posted at April 04, 2024

During Women's Month, Evident Integrated Marketing and PR spearheaded a forum titled "Equal Play: Accelerating Progress for Filipina Athletes." This discussion delved into the strides made by Filipina athletes in terms of representation and opportunities within the sports landscape.

Throughout the forum, Race Ya CEO Tin Ferrera reflected on her own motivations, prompting her to share a deeply personal insight into her advocacy. Drawing from her own experiences, Tin emphasized the transformative power of sports in her journey.

As the founder of Race Ya and an active member of the Philippine trail running community, she passionately believes in the ability of sports to instigate meaningful change.

Central to her vision is the dismantling of barriers and the promotion of inclusivity and accessibility in sports. She advocates for leveraging digitalization to reach underserved communities, bringing sports closer to them, and fostering a welcoming environment for all athletes, irrespective of gender.

Tin recounted poignant encounters with aspiring athletes that epitomize the transformative potential of sports. She shared the story of Angie, a 23-year-old from Antique, whose remarkable journey from the mountains to the podium exemplifies the profound impact of opportunity. Despite facing formidable odds, Angie's participation in the Philtra Championship and subsequent success showcased the power of sports to transcend socioeconomic barriers.

Similarly, she highlighted the story of a young girl from Cebu, whose chance encounter with trail runners paved the way for a life-altering journey in sports. These narratives underscore the pivotal role of grassroots initiatives and community engagement in identifying and nurturing athletic talent.

For Tin and the Race Ya team, these stories are reminders of the untapped potential within marginalized communities. By providing platforms and opportunities for aspiring athletes, they aim to empower more individuals like Angie and the young girl from Cebu to realize their full potential through sports.

As Tin eloquently puts it, "There are more Angies and more little girls out there, and we hope through our platform, we can meet them, and, through sports, show them what they can do." Through their unwavering commitment to equality and inclusion in sports, Tin and Race Ya are paving the way for a future where every Filipina athlete has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

You need to be satisfied that you are physically capable of doing the Event without undue risk to your health or your life. We do not conduct health or fitness checks on entrants.
  • The Event may involve inherent risks and dangers to participants and observers and, accordingly, you participate or observe at your own risk.

In consideration of being permitted to register and/or participate in and/or observe the Event, on behalf of yourself and any personal representatives, assigns, heirs, executors, successors, next of kin, and persons supported by you (if relevant under the applicable laws), you understand that:

1. Authority to Register and/or to Act as Agent. You represent and warrant to Runfitness Marketing, Inc.

If you choose to connect your account with a third party application, that third party application may have access to certain Personal Data including, but not limited to, your name, username, email address, location, and age.

4. How We Secure Your Personal Data

We take your security seriously and strive to take reasonable steps to protect your information. No data transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we continue to evaluate and implement enhancements in security technology and practices, we can only implement measures and take steps to help reduce the risks of unauthorized access. You are also advised to take steps to protect your information and further minimize the likelihood that a security incident may occur.

The following is a summary of the measures we take to protect the Personal Data you provide us and an explanation on how we implement these measures:

4.1 Secure Socket Layer

We use Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) encryption when transmitting certain kinds of information, such as payment information or Personal Data. An icon resembling a padlock is displayed in most browsers’ window or address bar during SSL transactions. For example, any time we ask for a credit card number for payment or for verification purposes, it will be SSL encrypted in its transmission to our third party payment gateway, Authorize.net, Dragonpay or Paypal. The information you provide will be stored securely on Authorize.net, Dragonpay or Paypal services. Once you choose to store or enter your credit card number in our Services, it will not be displayed back in its entirety. Instead of the entire number combination, you will only see asterisks and either the first four digits or the last four digits of your credit card number.

4.2 Secure Storage

We maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with Philippine laws and regulations, and with International Privacy Policies to protect personal information about you.

4.3 Vendors and Partners

We work with vendors and partners to protect the security and privacy of user information. Our Services are hosted on a secure server which has its own procedures and controls to ensure data security.

4.4 Personnel and Contractor Access to Personal Data

We limit access to personal information to trained personnel who will or might come into contact with said information in the course of providing our products and services.

5. Choices You Have Regarding Your Personal Data

5.1 Accessing, Updating, Correcting, or Deleting Your Personal Data

Upon request, we will provide you with information about whether we maintain or process on behalf of a third party, any of your Personal Data. If your personal information changes, the Personal Data we collected about you is inaccurate, or if you wish to no longer use our services, you may also request that your Personal Data be corrected, amended, or deleted. Requests for access to your Personal Data and to have it corrected, amended, or deleted should be sent to [email protected] or to the mailing address provided under “Contact Us”. We will try to meet all requests regarding Personal Data, however, you may not be able to remove your personal information from archived web pages we no longer maintain, such as your name and race time from past events you’ve competed in. If we are unable to complete your access request, we will let you know we are unable to do so and why. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law.

If your information has been shared with a third party, as described above, then that third party has received their own copy of your data. If you have been contacted by one of these third parties and you wish to correct or request deletion of your information, please contact them directly.

5.2 Limiting the Personal Data You Provide

You can browse our Services without providing any Personal Data (other than data automatically collected to the extent it is considered Personal Data under applicable laws) or by limiting the Personal Data you provide. If you choose not to provide any Personal Data or limit the Personal Data you provide, you may not be able to use certain functionality of the Services.

5.3 Opting Out of Electronic Communications

RaceYaya may send you electronic communications marketing or advertising our Services or events. When you sign up and use our Services, you will be given the option to sign up for “RaceYaya News and Updates” and “Partner Offers” from us or other third parties. If at any time you would like to stop receiving the information that you have requested to receive from us, you may follow the opt-out instructions contained in any such electronic communication. Additionally, you may also manage your email preferences at any time through your account.

If you opt-out of receiving emails or promotions from us, we may still send you emails about your account or any Services you have requested or received from us, or for other customer services purposes. In addition, you may still receive emails sent by third parties through means other than our Services. If you opt-out of receiving information related to a particular event, you may still receive RaceYaya communications or communications from other organizers whose events you have attended, are registered to attend, or who have otherwise obtained your email address. You may have to unsubscribe from multiple emails before you stop receiving all communications related to events for which you registered through our Services.

Please be aware that you cannot unsubscribe from update communications about our Services unless you deactivate your account. If you wish to close your account, please email [email protected]. Even after you opt-out of all communications, we will retain your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, as provided under “6. Retention of Your Personal Data”, though we will no longer use it to contact you. However, third parties who have received your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy may still use that Personal Data to contact you in accordance with their own privacy policies. You will need to contact those third parties in order to have your information deleted from their records as well. If you wish to not have your Personal Data shared with third parties for the creation and display of targeted advertisements, you will need to close your account. You can do so by emailing us at [email protected].

5.4 Social Media Notifications

If you connect a third party application through SSO or sign up for other social media integrations, you may receive social notifications from these additional services or from RaceYaya’s Services.

7. Cookies, Web Beacons, Etc.

7.1 What Cookies and Web Beacons Are

Cookies are small data files placed onto your computer or mobile device when you visit a website which allows our Services to distinguish you from other users, allow the Services to work properly, as well as to help monitor advertising effectiveness.

Web beacons work similar to cookies, however, instead of a file stored on your computer, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.

We use cookies, web beacons, tags, and other similar tracking technologies to track when you visit our websites and mobile applications (collectively, “Cookies”). We also allow third parties to place Cookies on our Services to assist with advertising.

7.2 How We Use Cookies

Some of these Cookies are necessary for technical reasons and help our Services to operate as intended for your benefit (“Essential Cookies”), such as access to secure areas of the Services. Other types of Cookies are used for analytical purposes such as how our Services are being used, the effectiveness of advertising shown as you use the Services, and to customize advertising to you (“Analytical Cookies”). While these types of Cookie help us create new features, improve on our existing Services, and provide advertisements of interest to you, our Services can function without them.

7.3 Controlling Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject Cookies. You can exercise your Cookie preferences by activating the setting on your web browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some Cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including Essential Cookies), you may not be able to access or use all or parts of our Services. If you have not adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue Cookies as soon as you visit our Services. Blocking or deleting Cookies will not prevent device identification and related data collection from occurring when you access our Services. Turning off Analytical

Cookies will prevent their ability to measure the relevance and effectiveness of our Services, emails, and advertising as well as to show you tailored advertising, however this does not mean you will no longer see any advertisements when you use our Services.

Users under the age of eighteen should use the website with adult supervision, including registration for an event. If you are aware of a user under the age of eighteen (18) who has provided Personal Data through our Services, please contact us at [email protected]. Parents and legal guardians may choose to provide information about their children, even if under the age of eighteen (18), for the purposes of event registration on our Services.

In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of our Services, we often conduct research on our customer demographics, interests, and behavior based on Personal Data and other information that we have collected. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis. Please note that this aggregate information does not identify you personally and we therefore consider and treat this data as Non-Personal Data.

RaceYaya reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy to our website with a changed “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
