Automatically-Collected Information
CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION uses certain digital analytics tools on the Website that help us analyze site usage and performance when you visit and use the Website, such as cookies, which are discussed in more detail below. The information we collect automatically typically does not include any individuals’ names or contact information. Rather, as you navigate and browse the Website, these analytics tools automatically collect and store information about your visit to and use of the Website, such as: the date and time of your visit, the duration of your visit, the type of browser and browser language you use, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, mobile device ID, type of computer or other operating device used, the actions you take on the Website (such as the web pages viewed and the links clicked), the websites (if any) from which you linked to the Website, and the website(s) you visit after visiting the Website. All such information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Automatically-Collected Information,” and may be considered Personal Information depending on applicable privacy laws.
This Automatically Collected Information allows us to better understand the visitors to the Website, where they come from, and what content on the Website is of interest to them. It also helps us to maintain the security and operation of the Website. We only ever use this Automatically Collected Information for our internal analytics purposes, to diagnose problems with our servers, and to improve the quality, performance, and functionality of the Website.
Personal Information Provided by Others
CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION may obtain Personal Information from other third-party sources, including our customers and business partners, as well as publicly and commercially available sources. We may combine the information we receive from these third-party sources with information that we collect from you or automatically collected information from your device, as described above, in order to provide the Website and our services to you and other customers.
HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
As described above, you may voluntarily provide Personal Information to us in several ways. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE US WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO BROWSE THE WEBSITE, AND YOU ARE NEVER UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION uses Personal Information provided by Users for a variety of purposes related to our mission, including to perform the services they request; respond to contact inquiries; process donations; send out newsletters and mailings; and facilitate and run events, sweepstakes, and other activates. If you subscribe to our distribution list, the Personal Information you provide CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION will be associated with you, in relation to our performance of such activities.

In general, we will only send you marketing or promotional communications when you have indicated to us your desire to receive the same, such as subscribing to a distribution list with your contact information. At any time, you may request that we stop contacting you for marketing purposes via the Contact Form on the Website or by sending us an e-mail at privacy@joyrx.org. Also, if we use your Personal Information to send you marketing communications via email, we will provide you with an unsubscribe mechanism to opt-out of receiving future marketing communications. If you request that we not contact you for marketing purposes (either by using the unsubscribe mechanism or by sending us an email), depending on the nature of our business relationship with you, we may still contact you for non-marketing purposes relating to your use of the Website or otherwise in regard to our business relationship with you.
Use of Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information Generally
We also may use both Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information to help diagnose problems with the Website, to analyze statistical use patterns and demographic data, and to improve Website performance and our services.

If you provide information online in order to apply for a job with us, please note that you may be asked to use and provide information through a third-party applicant tracking system (“ATS”) service we use to assist us with receiving online job applications. Any such service provider is required to keep your Personal Information confidential.

COLLECTION AND USE OF AUTOMATICALLY-COLLECTED INFORMATION
As described above, CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION uses commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies, to collect Automatically-Collected Information as you navigate the Website. CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION also uses Automatically-Collected Information to operate and improve the Website, including to analyze what Users are looking at most frequently so we can recognize and deliver more of the desired features, and services. This section describes in further detail the types of Automatically-Collected Information CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION may collect and how CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION may use this Automatically-Collected Information.
Cookies
The Website uses “cookies” to make your interactions with the Website easy and meaningful. When you visit the Website, our servers send a cookie to your computer or device. The cookie is placed on your computer or device hard drive, and it assigns your computer or device a unique, random number that acts as a sort of anonymous ID. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you; rather, a cookie identifies the computer or device used to access the Website. A cookie cannot read data off of your hard drive. Unless you choose to identify yourself to us, such as by responding to a donation request or filling out a web form, you remain anonymous to CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION when browsing the Website; in other words, the cookie alone does not enable us to identify you personally.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can disable the acceptance of cookies at any time by changing the preferences in your browser. Most browsers also allow you to change the settings to require that the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie. Please refer to your browser for information on how to disable and control cookies. Information about managing cookies in commonly used browsers is available online from www.allaboutcookies.org. If you disable your web browser’s ability to accept cookies, you will be able to browse the Website, but you may not be able to successfully use certain features of the Website.
Third Party Analytics
We use third-party services, like Google and Facebook, to track and analyze your Website activity, as well as to track websites you visit after using the Website. In order to gather this Automatically-Collected Information, we use cookies and/or tracking pixels. This Automatically-Collected Information is aggregated, and not traceable to any specific User. When you visit the Website, our third party analytics providers automatically collect pieces of information, and may provide some of this information to us. Our providers compile information about the use of the Website in aggregate form for us (i.e., data about many Website users combined and not just about you). Some of this data might include the regional location of Website users, but again, this data will be in aggregate (and not individual) form. We rely on this aggregate data to inform us how users are using the Website and to help us improve the Website.
Social Media Widgets
Some pages of the Website include social media features, such as “buttons” or “widgets”. If you use these features they may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the Website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on the Website. See the Social Media Features section under the heading How We Share the Personal Information We Collect, below, for more details about your interactions with these features on our Websites.
HOW WE SHARE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION may share your Personal Information in the manners described in this section. In addition, we may also share aggregated Automatically-Collected Information that has been de-identified or otherwise rendered anonymous without restriction.
Other Non-Profits
We may disclose, or allow access to, your Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information, to other non-profits with whom we are working, collaborating, or partnering, or whose mission we are supporting. We always look to partner with organizations who share are values, including our commitment to privacy. However, while we can instruct the non-profits with whom we share the Personal Information to hold or use the information only in certain ways, we cannot guarantee how those organizations will ultimately hold or use the Personal Information.
Third-Party Service Providers and Vendors
CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION may disclose, or allow access to, your Personal Information and Automatically Collected Information to third party service providers and vendors to perform certain services for us and/or help us provide certain services to you, including:
- To process donations;
- To perform certain marketing activities on our behalf, such as through promotional e-mail campaigns, social media interactions, and other digital marketing technologies (such marketing activities may include use of aggregate data to develop donor profiles in an effort to identify additional individuals who are interested in donating to CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION);
- To manage our employment and recruiting process;
- To facilitate and manage events, promotions, contests, sweepstakes, fundraisers, and similar activities;
- To perform website analytics services, as described above in this Privacy Policy; and
- To provide other services relating to the operation of the Website (such as hosting, data storage, and security) and the performance of the services provided by CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION.
Merger, Acquisition, or Sale
We may transfer any and all Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information to a third party if CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, restructuring, or other sale or transfer of all or any portion of its assets or business, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceedings in which information of Users is among the assets transferred. In this event, we will, if allowed, use reasonable efforts to notify you when your Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information is transferred to any third party under this paragraph by posting such notice on the Website and/or by contacting you via the Personal Information you have provided us, if any. In the event of a transfer of Personal Information as described in this section, we will instruct the third party recipient that absent your permission to do otherwise it may only use your Personal Information covered by this Privacy Policy in accordance with this Privacy Policy, even after the transfer. However, following such transfer we cannot guarantee or enforce that any such third-party will abide by CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION’s instruction, and any new information you provide after the transfer will likely be subject to a new policy, and you should review that policy.
Required by Law
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION reserves the right to disclose your Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information, without your consent and without additional notice to you, if we reasonably believe we are required by law, rule, regulation, judicial proceeding, court order, subpoena, or similar legal process to do so; if we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to protect, establish, or exercise our rights or property, or to defend against legal claims; or if we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our other Users or our employees, property, or business, or to take action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud.
Social Media Features
As described above, we provide certain social media features on the Website. These features might require us to implement cookies, plug-ins, or application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by such social media platforms to facilitate the communications and features. When you provide us with information through these platforms, the information you provide is also collected and processed by the social media platform you are using, and any collection and processing thereby is performed subject to and in accordance with the privacy policies of such social media platforms, over which CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION has no responsibility or control. Please be aware that by choosing to use any third party social media platform or choosing to share content or communications with any social media platform, any Personal Information you provide in conjunction with such use may be collected and processed by the designated social media platform. We cannot control any policies or terms of such third party platforms. As a result, we cannot be responsible for any use of your information or content by a third party social media platform, which you disclose at your own discretion. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and practices of any social media platforms prior to use.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Only some parts of the Website, those which allow Users to watch music videos, learn to play songs, and play music-themed games, are intended for use by children, including children under the age of 13 (the “Childrens Music Section”). Except for in the Childrens Music Section, we do not intend to or knowingly collect the Personal Information of children under the age of 13.
In the Childrens Music Section, we collect Personal Information, including potentially the Personal Information of children under the age of 13, when Users create a profile through which to access the music videos, music lessons, and games available in the Childrens Music Section. During the profile-creation process, we ask for the User’s first name, birthday, and a user name, and if the birthday selection indicates the User is under 13 we request their parent or guardian’s email address so that we may seek permission from the parent or guardian to use the child’s personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We do not require children, including those under the age of 13, to disclose more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary for them to take advantage of the Childrens Music Section.
Like other parts of the Website, the Childrens Music Section uses Google Analytics to collect Automatically-Collected Information about how a User interacts with the Website. In the Childrens Music Section, we use the Automatically-Collected Information to understand what content children are using, and to further optimize the Website. This Automatically-Collected Information is aggregated, and not traceable to any specific User.
We do not share the Personal Information of children under the age of 13 with any third parties.
If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 from whom we have collected Personal Information, you have certain rights with respect to that child’s Personal Information. Specifically, parents and guardians of children under the age of 13 have the right to:
- Review the Personal Information we keep about their child, request that we delete that Personal Information, and refuse to allow us to either collect any further Personal Information about that child or continue to use that Personal Information; and
- Request that, even if we may collect and otherwise use the child’s Personal Information, we not disclose that Personal Information to any third parties except as necessary to provide the content in the Childrens Music Section.
To exercise these rights, please contact us via the Contact Form on the Website or by email at privacy@joyrx.org, and identify the child about whom you are contacting us. Please note, that for the child’s safety and compliance with law, we will need to verify your identity if you attempt to exercise your rights under this section. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Personal Information to us through any means other than the Childrens Music Section, or without their parent or guardian’s consent, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us via the Contact Form on the Website or by email at privacy@joyrx.org to request that we remove the information from our systems. If we learn that we have received Personal Information or Automatically-Collected Information from a child under the age of 13 through any means other than the Childrens Music Section, or without their parent or guardian’s consent we will delete that information from our files.
SECURITY OF COLLECTED INFORMATION
CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION uses commercially-reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative security measures to assist in protecting against the loss, misuse, and unauthorized alteration of Personal Information that is under our control. Unfortunately, no data storage system, or system of transmitting data over the Internet or wireless network, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and no security system can prevent all security breaches. As a result, we do not and cannot guarantee the security of our servers or any Personal Information or Automatically-Collected Information provided to us in connection with your use of the Website or when you interact with us.
DO NOT TRACK
The Website uses some cookies that persist and may track your activities after you have left the Website. The Website does not at this time respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals. As described in this Privacy Policy, the Website may contain links to other sites or services not owned or operated by CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION. These websites may set cookies that obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited the Website from a certain IP address. CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION does not and cannot control whether such third-party sites collect any Personal Information from you if you navigate to these sites from the Website.
RETENTION, STORAGE AND REMOVAL
We may retain all Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information in our databases for as long as necessary to perform the business purposes for which we’ve collected it, or until you ask us to remove your information from our databases in accordance with applicable laws, rules, or regulations, and unless applicable laws require otherwise. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or aggregate it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. Note that even after you ask us to remove your information from our databases, it may be impossible to remove some information, such as information tracked in our web server log files and information that may reside in backup files. This residual information is retained to preserve the integrity of our backed-up files and for business continuity purposes. We may also retain Automatically-Collected Information even after you request that we remove your information from our databases, for use in the aggregate and to analyze and improve the Website.
Further, even after you request that we remove your information from our databases, we may retain Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information to comply with any applicable law, rule, regulation, or guideline; to prevent fraudulent activity; to protect ourselves against liability; and to allow us to enforce our contractual or other rights and to pursue available remedies and limit any damages we may sustain.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES AND SERVICES
This Privacy Policy applies only to Personal Information and Automatically-Collected Information collected through the Website or that you otherwise provide to CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION. The Website may contain links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by us (“Linked Sites”). We are not responsible or liable for and have not reviewed the privacy practices of the Linked Sites, or the owners or operators of the Linked Sites. The owners and operators of the Linked Sites may have their own policies regarding privacy and security. We advise you to review any Linked Sites for their own privacy practices to determine what information about you may be collected and used when you use such Linked Sites. CHILDREN’S CANCER ASSOCIATION makes efforts to work with third parties who share our privacy commitment and practices.
