Our Approach to Privacy
When Coach Darrin founded A Faster 5K after years of coaching youth athletes through FLYRA, Vanguard High School, and Trinity Catholic, privacy became a foundational principle. Working with young runners reinforced how important it is to protect personal information—especially in competitive environments where data could be misused.
That experience shaped our decision to keep data collection minimal. We focus on delivering training knowledge, not harvesting visitor information.
Information Sharing
Since we collect only cookie data, sharing is extremely limited.
| Sharing Scenario | Details |
|---|---|
| Analytics Providers | Aggregated, anonymized usage data to understand content performance |
| Legal Requirements | Only when required by law or court order |
We do not sell, rent, or trade any data to third parties.

Children's Privacy
A Faster 5K content is designed for runners of all ages. Since we do not collect personal information through our website, no special data is gathered from visitors under 13. Parents can feel confident that their children can access our training resources without privacy concerns.
Future Changes
If A Faster 5K begins collecting personal information in the future—such as through coaching sign-ups, email newsletters, or payment processing—this privacy policy will be updated before any collection begins. Significant changes will be clearly communicated on our website.
