Your information
Privacy Policy
Last updated 15 November 2026
This policy explains what personal information Race Resolve collects, why, and your rights. In short: we only collect what we need to coach you, we never sell it, and this website sets no cookies.
01Who we are
Race Resolve Endurance Coaching is run by Niall Connaughton, based in Dublin, Ireland. For data protection law, that makes him the data controller for the personal information described here.

02What we collect
When you visit this website
This website has no contact forms and sets no cookies. If visitor statistics are turned on, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and without identifying you. Our hosting provider records basic technical data, such as your IP address and browser type, to keep the site secure.

Your name, email address and whatever you choose to tell us about your goals, training and experience.
When you become a coaching client
- Your goals, training history, race results and weekly availability.
- Training data you choose to share, such as sessions, distances, paces, power, heart rate and how sessions felt, including data from apps or watches you connect.
- Information about your eating habits, if you use nutrition coaching.
- Health information you choose to tell us that affects your training, such as injuries, conditions or medication. This is special category data and we only use it with your explicit consent.
- Payment records for coaching fees.

- Coaching records: kept while you’re a client and for 2 years after.
- Health information: deleted when coaching ends, or sooner if you ask.
- Payment records: kept for 6 years, as Irish tax law requires.
06Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to get a copy of your information, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to how we use it, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. To use any of these rights, email us. It’s free, and we’ll reply within one month.
If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.
08Athletes under 18
We only coach someone under 18 with the written consent of a parent or guardian, who is involved in decisions about their information.
09Changes to this policy
If we change how we use your information, we’ll update this page and the date at the top, and tell current clients if the change is significant.
