Our event registration forms require registrants to provide us with name, address, e‑mail address, gender, date of birth, credit card number and expiration date, emergency contact information.
- Credit card information is used for processing the event registration fee;

- Once registered, participants can expect to receive regular updates, invitations and other communication from the Seismic Challenge. Our communication may include information or offers from our partners and event sponsors, but it is our policy to not share event participants’ information with those partners and sponsors;
- Emergency contact information will only be used in the case of an emergency situation that occurs during a training session or on the event itself, and will not be shared or used for any other purpose.
How your information is used: Donations
Donations to the Seismic Challenge are actually donations to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. Non-participant donors should refer to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation's Privacy Policy for more information.
