WE ABOUT US

Die marathonrally.com Story

Bereits im zarten Alter von 12 Jahren gründeten zwei deutsche Buben ein kleines Automagazin namens "DER AUTOSPIEGEL" - aufgrund nicht-erfundener PCs noch mit Schreibmaschine, handgemalten Überschriften und selbst entwickelten Fotos. Das Heft wurde DIN A5 schwarz-weiss mit Hilfe eines Fotokopierers hergestellt, die Kosten übernahmen die Eltern oder ein örtliches Opel-Autohaus.

Im Laufe der Jahre wurde das Magazin professioneller, mit der Erfindung von Home-Computern setzte man früh auf "Apple Macintosh". Diesen konnte man sich zwar nicht leisten, durfte aber nach Ladenschluss die Technik eines Händlers benutzen. Vorerst blieb es aber bei einem Jugend-Hobby.

Aus Buben wurden Männer, man ging beruflich neue und verschiedene Wege. Doch mit der Verbreitung des Internets Ende der 90er Jahre kam der Gedanke an ein Magazin zurück. 1999 war es dann soweit: Man startete mit AUTOSPIEGEL.COM das erste Online-Automagazin im deutschsprachigen Internet.

Als Nische entdeckte man die Berichterstattung über die Rally Dakar: Damals ein absolutes Novum. Das interessierte die Industrie: Auf einer Veranstaltung im Rahmen des Dakar-Starts Ende 2002 in Marseille gründete man spontan auf Anregung von Mitsubishi-Motorsport und Journalisten das erste Online-Magazin für den Offroad Motorsport: MARATHONRALLY.COM.

Mit Rückenwind der Industrie startete man durch, zuerst nur auf Deutsch, ab 2006 dann auch auf Englisch und Ungarisch. Es entwickelten sich neue Geschäftszweige: Gemeinsam mit dem Unternehmen "Normann Bock" konstruierte man bis zum Tode dessen Inhabers unter dem Label MARATHONLOGISTIC.COM Nutzfahrzeuge für den Motorsport, man startete als Berater für Rallies und die Offroad-Industrie.

2008 folgte das erste Print-Magazin, 2012 die erste Test-Ausgabe in Englisch. Doch die Ereignisse überschlugen sich. Soziale Medien wie Facebook waren fortan mehr gefragt, die Online-Technik veränderte sich rapide. Hohe Investitions- und Lohnkosten nötigten die nun über 40-jährigen Herausgeber zu einer kreativen Pause.

Doch die Nachfrage blieb. Soziale Medien entwickelten ein Eigenleben, der Ruf nach klassischen Medien wurde wieder laut. Mit einem neuem Geschäftspartner entschied man Anfang 2017: MARATHONRALLY.COM kommt zurück! Mit neuem Design und neuer Technik war man zum Start der Dakar Rally und Africa Eco Race 2018 soweit: Willkommen bei marathonrally.com 4.0.

Some of the personal information we request from you is required in order for you to use our Services. If you do not wish to provide such personal information to us, you are not obligated to, but as a result you may not be able to use the particular Service. However, some of the personal information we request from you is optional. This means that you can elect not to provide it to us and you will still be able to use the Service. If not all the personal information we request on a form is required, we identify the required personal information to you such as by displaying an asterisk (*) next to the field where we request the required personal information.

Subscriptions: When you subscribe to one of our publications, we may ask you to provide your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and credit card or other payment information for the purposes of fulfilling your subscription, sending you invoices, contacting you about the expiry of your subscription, and sending you service messages about your subscription. Once you are subscribed, we may store your subscription information, including its start date, renewal date, pricing, publication, and any customer service contacts you may have with us.

Apps: When you download and register to use one of our Apps, we collect from you information such as your name, mailing address, account number, postal code, and e-mail address. We use this information, for example, to look up your account in our records in order to populate your App with the content that comes with your subscription. We also assign a unique user ID to your App on your device so that we can identify you when you use the App and so that we can collect user metrics such as how you use the App. Unless you opt out on your device, we will send messages to your device when a new issue of our publication is available through our App.

Product Purchases: When you purchase products offered through one of our websites or publications, we collect your credit card and other payment information and keep a history of your purchases.

We may also use this information for promotional and marketing purposes in accordance with this Privacy Policy and not in violation of applicable law.

Please remember that any information you disclose in these public forum or community areas becomes public information and is immediately accessible to other users, so it is important for you to carefully consider what, if any, personal information you reveal in these areas. We may use information disclosed by you in this way to promote our products and services in our advertising communications.

Information about Other People: At some of our websites and through certain promotions, you can submit personal information about other people.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Cookies: To enhance your experience on our Services, we may place "cookies" on your computer or device. Cookies are small text files that we place in your computer or device to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personal information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering with one of our Services. Once you choose to provide us with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. A cookie assigns a unique numerical identifier to your Web browser or device, and may enable us to recognize you as the same user who has used our Services, and relate your use of the Services to other information about you, such as your usage information and personal information.

We use cookies (and Local Shared Objects, HTML5, cache cookies, web beacons, or clear gifs, all described further below) to understand usage of the Services and to improve our content and offerings and to deliver advertisements that you might be interested in. For example, we may use cookies to personalise your experience on our Services (e.g., to recognize you by name when you return to our site, to save your password in password-protected areas, to enable shopping carts, or to tailor content or product and service offerings). Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can set your browser option so that you will not receive cookies and you can also delete existing cookies from your browser. However, you may find that some parts of the site will not function properly if you have refused cookies or similar tracking technologies and you should be aware that disabling cookies or similar tracking technologies might prevent you from accessing some of our content.

For more information on advertisements and your behavioral advertising options, visit our About Ads page and our Network Advertising Initiatives page.

Local Shared Objects: Local shared objects, such as .Flash cookies,. also may be stored on your computer or device. Local shared objects operate a lot like cookies, but cannot be managed in the same way. Depending on how local shared objects are enabled on your computer or device, you may be able to manage them using software settings. For information on managing Flash cookies, for example, see ADOBE FLASH INFO.

HTML 5: HTML5, the language some Web sites are coded in, may be used to store information on your computer or device about your Service usage activities. This information may be retrieved by us to help us manage our Services, such as by giving us information about how our Services are being used by our visitors, how they can be improved, and to customize them for our users.

Cache Cookies: Cache cookies, such as eTags, may be used to identify your computer or device as the same computer or device that visited a Service or Services in the past.

Web Beacons: Our websites may also use small pieces of code called "web beacons" or "clear gifs" to collect anonymous and aggregate advertising metrics, such as counting page views, promotion views, or advertising responses. A web beacon is an electronic image called a single-pixel or clear GIF. Web beacons can recognise certain types of information, such as a user's cookie number, time and date of a page view, and description of the page where the web beacon is placed. These web beacons may be used to deliver cookies that conform to our cookie policy above.

These tracking technologies may be deployed by us and/or by our service providers or partners on our behalf. These technologies enable us to assign a unique number to you, and relate your Service usage information to other information about you, including your personal information. We may match information collected from you through different means or at different times, including both personal information and Service usage information, and use such information along with offline and online information obtained from other sources (including third parties) such as demographic information and updated contact information (where that information has been lawfully disclosed to us) for the purposes of learning more about you so we can provide you with relevant content.

Marketing

Security or Personal Information

Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard the personal information in our custody and control, and we require similar safeguarding measures from our service providers, we need you to understand that we are unable to guarantee that your personal information will never be disclosed or accessed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. We have implemented measures in an effort to maintain the confidentiality of all personal information in our custody and control, including only providing access to personal information to employees and authorized service providers who require such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, loss, modification, disclosure, and any form of unlawful processing of personal information in our custody and control, and our service providers are bound to maintain similar safeguards. These measures also aim at preventing unnecessary collection and further processing of personal information.

To provide you with an increased level of security online, access to your personal information on certain of our websites may be protected with a password you select. We strongly recommend that you do not disclose your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication.



Accessing, Correcting, and Deleting Your Personal Information

We will take reasonable steps to accurately record the personal information that you provide to us and any subsequent updates.

At our election, instead of deleting such information, we may retain it with your comment or correction noted in our records. By contacting us, you may also object to our further use of your personal information if you have compelling legitimate grounds (this may involve closing your account). We may ask you to verify your identity and to provide other details before we are able to provide you with any information, correct any inaccuracies, or delete any information. Your right to review, update, correct, and delete your personal information may be limited, subject to the law of your jurisdiction: A) if your requests are abusive or unreasonably excessive, B) where the rights or safety of another person or persons would be encroached upon, or C) if the information or material you request relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between you and us, or providing access to you would prejudice negotiations between us or an investigation of possible unlawful activity. Your right to review, update, correct, and delete your information is subject to our records retention policies and applicable law, including any statutory retention requirements.



Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes to our personal information practices.

Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, such as flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games or other electronic or online content. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games or other electronic content. These seizures have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, eye or face twitching, altered vision or jerking or shaking of arms or legs. If you experience any of the foregoing symptoms, or if you or your family has a history of seizures or epilepsy, you should immediately stop using the Web Site and consult a doctor.
