Who are we?
The Run Lab SA was established in October 2020 as a subsidiary to the African Sport Training Academy. The Run Lab SA was birthed by two Biokineticists, whose desire is to offer scientific gait analysis to individuals who walk, run, hike or play sports that require running, change of direction and elite level performance. The Run Lab SA is built on the premise that everyone should have access to the latest sports science activities and technology at a cost effective price point. We aim to have a national footprint and partner with students wanting to do research in the field of sport science and biokinetics.

The personal data we collect will be used for the following purposes:
In order for us to provide you with membership and related services (including the signposting of network conferences, member & non-member research, events, products and/or services) we need to collect personal data for correspondence purposes and service provision. In any event, we are committed to ensuring that the information we collect, and use, is appropriate for this purpose and does not constitute an invasion of your privacy.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data:
· Our legitimate interests as a data controller
· The processing is necessary to fulfil a contract/enter into negotiations for a contract of consent
Processing through use of our Legitimate Interests
Where the processing of personal data is based on the POPI Act, the legitimate interests we pursue are to carry out a business in favor of the well-being of all our members, employees, shareholders and for the good of the membership sector.
We consider that membership and association professionals rely on being kept up to date about new and existing products or services, as well as industry best practice advice in order to help them achieve their Organizational objectives.
Marketing is generally seen as an important tool, but we want to respect the wishes of you, the recipient of our marketing. Under POPI you have an absolute right to object to direct marketing and if you wish to do so please contact admin@therunlabsa.co.za
We will only process your personal data on these grounds if we have determined that our services are 'professionally relevant' to you and your organisation. Material that we send to you may be relevant based on your profile, because of the type, size or location of the organisation that you work in, or because you are the right post-holder for a certain set of decisions based on factors like your role, seniority, and responsibilities.
We believe that the recipients of our marketing have a reasonable expectation that The Run Lab SA will process their Personal Data.
The Run Lab SA are in the process of conducting a Data Protection Impact Assessment, the outcome being to determine risk mitigation outputs.
The likelihood of impact and the severity of negative impact of our processing on your data has been preliminary assessed and deemed to be negligible.
The data we hold about you may have originated from joining The Run Lab SA community; attending a conference or event, or information you have supplied via our online community.
Where we store information collected about you
We may transfer your information to our data processors within and outside the South African Area but will do so with appropriate measures and controls in place to protect that information in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations and regulatory guidance. In all instances, we will take into account the nature of the information we are transferring, and the level of protection provided by those processors.
Contractual Processing
Where the processing of personal data is based on the performance of a contract, then Members of The Run Lab SA community, agree that processing takes place to fulfil an ongoing membership contract with its associated terms and conditions.
This means, for example, we will collect, store, structure and use your personal information for the transmission of digital communications related to the administration of your membership; for example, essential communications such as The Run Lab SA Newsletter which is closely aligned with The Run Lab SA mission Statement that you have signed up to:
“Welcome to The Run Lab SA A collaborative project that provides member based organisations with articles from membership and association professionals, influencers, thought-leaders and solution providers. The Run Lab SA is a great place to pick up handy tips to improve member recruitment, retention, value, engagement and growth! Please only complete this form if you are employed by a membership organisation or association or are a current customer of ours.”
Processing using Consent
There are certain circumstances, particularly in regards electronic marketing communications that fall within the Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations; where we are likely to need consent from you in order to process your data. If this is the case, we will ensure that the consent that you provide is by a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of your agreement to the processing of personal data relating to you.
You may withdraw consent at any time by either unsubscribing (via the Unsubscribe link on the footer of all emails) or requesting to unsubscribe via the following email address – admin@therunlabsa.co.za
