Delivery Policy – Timeframes and Conditions

Participants have three days to make payment via Multibanco references after submitting their registration. If payment is not completed within this period, the registration will be cancelled, and a new registration must be made for the same event.

If the registration is submitted within eight days of the registration deadline, the payment window is reduced to 24 hours.

For payments made by credit card, the registration is automatically confirmed once the VISA system processes the transaction.

After completing the registration, a confirmation email will be sent to the participant, which must be presented to collect the race kit at the Race Office.

This confirmation will be sent up to five days before the event.

By registering, the participant confirms they have read the event regulations, which are available at the time of registration.

Payment Methods

An invoice for the registration fee will be issued upon request with a valid tax identification number, following payment confirmation, and sent by email. If no invoice request is made, it will be issued to a final consumer by default.

Payment can be made via Multibanco references or credit card.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

No refunds will be issued for cancelled registrations.

Refunds will also not be issued if an athlete, for any reason, is unable to participate in the event.

Specific refund conditions may apply to individual events, as detailed in the respective regulations.

This Privacy Policy is intended to inform clients and users about the general rules regarding privacy and the processing of personal data, in full compliance with data protection legislation.

Globalsport follows best practices in data security and protection, implementing a strict internal programme to safeguard all personal data provided by those who engage with the company.

These Privacy Policy terms complement the provisions on data protection found in the contracts entered into with Globalsport, as well as in the Terms and Conditions available across its various websites.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing our websites and providing your personal data, you acknowledge and accept the terms herein. This implies your consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of your data under the terms of this policy.

This Privacy Policy applies solely to personal data collected and processed by Globalsport websites.

Globalsport websites may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided in good faith, but Globalsport is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or data handling of such websites. Therefore, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Personal Data

"Personal data" refers to any information, regardless of format, including sound and image, that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.

An identifiable person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, particularly through an identification number or other elements related to physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.

The entity responsible for collecting and processing your personal data is GSX Portugal Lda, which determines the data collected, the means of processing, and the purposes of its use.

Globalsport collects and processes personal data necessary to deliver its services, including name, address, telephone number, national ID number, and email address.

Apart from complying with legal obligations relating to crime prevention and investigation, Globalsport only processes traffic and location data needed for billing and interconnection payments.

With the prior consent of the client or user (which may be withdrawn at any time), Globalsport may also process traffic and location data for marketing or value-added services.

Your location data may also be recorded and transmitted to emergency service providers if required for emergency response purposes.

How and When We Collect Your Data

Globalsport collects your data via telephone, in writing, or through its websites, with your consent. Most personal data is collected when a client subscribes to one of our services or products.

Some personal data is mandatory. Without this information, Globalsport may not be able to provide the requested service. You will be informed when data is required.

If you are not a Globalsport client, your data will only be processed if voluntarily provided—for instance, when subscribing to newsletters.

All personal data is processed electronically and stored in dedicated databases in compliance with data protection legislation. Data will only be used for the purposes for which consent was given.

In general, personal data is collected to manage the contractual relationship, provide services, tailor experiences to client needs, communicate information and marketing materials, and include the client in subscriber directories.

You may also provide your data for purposes such as submitting suggestions or complaints, receiving institutional updates, promotional materials, and market surveys.

Access, Rectification, and Objection

Under the Data Protection Act, individuals have the right to access, update, correct, or delete their personal data. These rights may be exercised through the contact methods provided by Globalsport.

Marketing Communications

Globalsport may promote products or services to clients via telephone, email, SMS, MMS, or other electronic means, unless the client opted out when the data was collected.

If you do not wish to receive such communications, you may opt out at any time.

Sharing of Data with Third Parties

Globalsport may contract third parties to provide certain services. These may require access to personal data. In such cases, Globalsport ensures that these third parties are reputable and comply with data protection regulations through formal contracts.

Any third party acting on behalf of Globalsport must adopt technical and organisational measures to safeguard the data against destruction, loss, unauthorised access, or misuse.

Globalsport remains responsible for the personal data shared with such entities.

International Data Transfers

Some services provided by Globalsport may involve transferring personal data outside Portugal.

In such cases, Globalsport will strictly adhere to applicable legislation, particularly regarding the adequacy of data protection in the destination country.
