What type of information does the Breast Cancer 3-Day COLLECT and how is the information USED?
While you are visiting the Site, the Breast Cancer 3-Day may collect two types of information about users: “Personal Information” (such as name, email address, mailing address, phone, credit card or debit card, personal preferences and other account-related information) and “Aggregate Information” (such as information about how many users log on to the Site on a daily basis).
Personal Information is collected online when you voluntarily submit non-public personal information on the Site by requesting information, purchasing our products, signing up for an account or other services, receiving electronic notices or other similar communications and other similar activities.
Aggregate Information is non-personally identifiable/anonymous information about you, such as pages most frequently accessed by you, time spent on a page or area of the Site, the number of visits to the Site by you, types of browser used by you, cookie preferences or search terms entered by you.
Aggregate Information is used in a collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled information (for example, the number of people who logged into the Site in a particular day). Aggregate Information does not personally identify a specific user.
Personal Information That You Provide to Us
We may obtain Personal Information about you ONLY if you elect to give us that information. Types of Personal Information may include the following:
- Name
- Address
- Zip code
- Telephone number
- Occupation
- Email address
- Credit card number and expiration date (for online purchases or donations)
- Name of organization (where applicable)
- Breast cancer survivor or relationship to a breast cancer survivor
We may request Personal Information, such as your user name or password, whenever you login to your account and may in limited circumstances ask you to provide credit card information and other personal information when making a donation online or registering for a Breast Cancer 3-Day. We reserve the right to request any additional information necessary to establish and maintain your account. Generally, our uses of Personal Information collected online include, without limitation, responding to your inquiry about volunteering time to the Breast Cancer 3-Day, enabling you to make a donation, or providing information, such as sending marketing communications and newsletters.
The Breast Cancer 3-Day will retain your Personal Information for fulfillment of the intended purposes for which such Personal Information is collected. The Breast Cancer 3-Day will establish minimum and maximum retention periods based upon the type of information collected (i.e., sensitivity), the intended purposes and as otherwise may be legally required.
Personal Information shall NOT include any personal information posted or sent by or to you in any public forum (such as a message board) or any participant personal fundraising webpage on the Site. Participation in these public forums and the Breast Cancer 3-Day fundraising initiatives requires the public release and dissemination of such information, and thus the Breast Cancer 3-Day cannot commit to treating such information confidentially in the same manner that other personal information will be treated under this Privacy Policy. Participation in these programs is voluntary and thus your consent to certain terms is required before participation is allowed.
Aggregate Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect Aggregate Information about your visit. We can tell the type of computer, browser, and web service that you are using. We also know the date, time, and pages that you visit. Collecting this information helps us design the Site to enhance your experience while on our Site.
The Breast Cancer 3-Day also may use Aggregate Information for internal purposes, such as tracking demographic data and providing targeted content to make the Site more useful to our visitors. The gathering of this Aggregate Information may be accomplished by the use of cookies or web beacons by the Breast Cancer 3-Day and its third party service providers. In particular, the Breast Cancer 3-Day will collect an IP Address from all visitors to the Site. An IP Address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. The Breast Cancer 3-Day may share Aggregate Information with its content providers, sponsors, service providers or other third parties to advance the goals of research, education, dissemination of information and otherwise in fulfillment of the Breast Cancer 3-Day mission to raise funds for breast cancer research, education, and community health programs. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our Site, analyze trends, track users’ movement on the Site, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in order for us to improve the Site, and deliver customized, personalized content. IP addresses, however, are not linked to Personal Information. The Breast Cancer 3-Day also may use an unique assigned number located with the Site’s URL to determine the web site from which you navigated to get to the Site. While this number may not be apparent to you, it does not contain your Personal Information.
Does the Breast Cancer 3-Day use COOKIES, OTHER TECHNOLOGIES or THIRD PARTIES to INDIRECTLY collect information on the Site?
The Site may use cookies to enhance your experience while using the Site. Cookies are pieces of information that some web sites transfer to the computer that is browsing that site and are used for record-keeping purposes at many web sites. Use of cookies makes web-surfing easier by performing certain functions such as saving your passwords, your personal preferences regarding your use of the particular web site and to make sure you do not see the same ad repeatedly. Many consider the use of cookies to be an industry standard.
Your browser is probably set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our Site will not function properly when you view them.
The Site also may use other technologies to track the specific pages viewed by visitors on the Site or to target specific content that might be of interest to you. These technologies help us to understand how visitors use the Site. However, you will have the option to opt out (or opt in if applicable law requires) of receiving such targeted content on those pages on our Site where this technology is used.
Does the Breast Cancer 3-Day SHARE the information that I have provided or that has been collected?
The Breast Cancer 3-Day may need to share Personal Information with third parties in limited circumstances. For example, we may release Personal Information to third parties to perform services such as advising you of our upcoming events, products, volunteer opportunities, fundraising and partner-related product opportunities benefiting the Breast Cancer 3-Day or its beneficiaries, providing you with breast health/breast cancer information or processing credit card payments or hosting the Site (and/or features available on the Site). However, such third parties are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of Personal Information and are not authorized to use Personal Information for any purpose other than providing those services.
From time to time, we may be required to provide Personal Information or Aggregate Information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law, or if we reasonably believe that you have committed unlawful acts or acts that may endanger the health or safety of another user or the general public. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful. We may release certain personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves.
We also reserve the right to share, assign or transfer your Personal information to any of our beneficiaries or any successor in interest to our organization by merger, reorganization, or operation of law.
In addition, the Breast Cancer 3-Day may make your name and postal address available to other non-profit organizations whose services or activities may be of interest to you.
Do I have CHOICES regarding how my Personal Information is used?
The Breast Cancer 3-Day may make your name and postal address available to other nonprofit organizations whose services or activities may be of interest to you.

The Breast Cancer 3-Day has made available the public forums on the Site (including the Breast Cancer 3-Day Message Board) so that you may have an opportunity to interact with other Site visitors in order to share knowledge and news or participate in fundraising events benefiting the Breast Cancer 3-Day and its beneficiaries. Since participation in such forums is voluntary, you control what personal information may be disclosed to others. In order to avoid your email address or other personal information from being gathered and used by others for unsolicited, inappropriate or harmful purposes, the Breast Cancer 3-Day advises that you should be cautious about posting your email address or phone number or other personal information to newsgroups, blogs, message boards, or other public forums. In addition, access to Personal Information contained in your account is protected by use of a password so keep your password private and secure.
What are the terms of the Breast Cancer 3-Day Message Board?
The Message Board administrator reserves the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time. We also reserve the right to disallow or ban users from posting. If responding to a post, please limit your response to comments directly related to the original comment or question. Please post only under the appropriate topic as described. Your post may be removed if you do not follow these instructions.
While the administrators and moderators of the forum will attempt to remove or edit any objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore, all posts made express the views and opinions of the author only and not of the Breast Cancer 3-Day, or its beneficiaries, sponsors or the administrator.
By participating, each user agrees not to post any abusive, anonymous, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead you to being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions.

The Breast Cancer 3-Day wants your account (including without limitation, your Personal Information and preferences) to be accurate and complete.

How does the Breast Cancer 3-Day SECURE my Personal Information?
The Breast Cancer 3-Day maintains commercially reasonable safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the Personal Information provided by you. Such security safeguards are intended to be appropriate to the sensitivity of the Personal Information collected. To the extent the Breast Cancer 3-Day transfers any Personal Information to third parties, the Breast Cancer 3-Day will use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that such third parties to whom it may transfer any Personal Information have knowledge of this Privacy Policy and provide sufficient protection of such Personal Information. In particular, the Breast Cancer 3-Day requires that a secure session be established using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) protocol when you submit Personal Information to us through your use of the Site to establish an account, use the shopping cart, input credit card or debit card information for payment, and access certain web pages on the Site.

Does the Breast Cancer 3-Day collect Personal Information from CHILDREN?
Since the Site is not designed specifically for children, the Breast Cancer 3-Day does not intentionally collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected Personal Information from a person under the age of 13, we will automatically delete it.
If I give the Breast Cancer 3-Day the name and email address of my family or friends, how is that information used?
If you elect to use any features of the Site (such as “Tell A Friend”) to inform a friend about the Site or solicit donations or pledges or otherwise communicate, the Breast Cancer 3-Day may ask for your friend’s name and email address. The Site will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the Site. The Breast Cancer 3-Day will store this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. Your friend may contact the Breast Cancer 3-Day to request the removal of this information from our databases.
What are the terms of the Breast Cancer 3-Day Share List?
The Share List is a list of participants who have chosen to share their contact information with other participants for the purpose of forming training and support groups.

This list is not intended for solicitation of any kind or for communication unrelated to the Breast Cancer 3-Day.
