Collection of Information
You may be asked to voluntarily provide your name, gender, email address, home and billing address, date of birth, telephone number, shirt size, running experience, emergency contact or other personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") to register for events or have access to some features of the Site.

You may always refuse to provide your Personal Information, but this may lead to our inability to provide you with certain access or services.
Fort4Fitness or its business partners may also collect information that is anonymous, such as the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet (for example, "aol.com"); the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of the computer you are using (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider); the browser software you use and your operating system; and the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to this Site (collectively, "Anonymous Information"), through the use of cookies or by other means.
