Privacy Rights & Grievance

Subject to applicable law, you may ask RDAA to: confirm what personal data of yours we hold and access a copy of it; correct or update inaccurate or incomplete data; delete your data, where we are not required to keep it for a legitimate purpose (such as event records already published); withdraw consent for future processing; or raise a grievance about how your data has been handled. Each of these is covered below.

The /apply form does not require an account or login — there is no self-service dashboard where you can sign in and manage your own data directly. Instead, requests are handled by RDAA staff directly, by email.

To help us find your record, include your application reference number (the code you received after registering, e.g. RDAA-2026-4F7K9) in your message if you have one, and the email/WhatsApp number you registered with.

Access / correction: we will confirm what data we hold about the application in question and correct any inaccuracy you identify.

Deletion: we will delete the application record and any associated payment-proof image where we are not required to keep it — for example, if the associated event has not yet taken place, or the data is not needed for a legitimate record-keeping purpose. Where an event has already taken place, we may need to retain the underlying record (for example, published results already include the participant’s name and placing, and cannot be selectively un-published without affecting the accuracy of RDAA’s own event history) — where full deletion isn’t possible for that reason, we will tell you what we can and can’t remove, and why.

Consent withdrawal: this stops any further use of your data beyond what was already necessary to complete a registration already submitted; it does not retroactively undo a completed, already-verified event registration or its results record.

We will acknowledge and look into every request. RDAA is a small organizing body without a large dedicated support team, so response times may vary, particularly around event dates — we will keep you updated on progress.

Because there is no login system for public applicants, we may need to verify a request is genuinely coming from the applicant (or their parent/guardian, for a minor) before acting on it — for example, by confirming details only the applicant would know.

If you’re not satisfied with how a request above was handled, or have a complaint about this website or how your data has been handled generally, you can raise it formally:
