Privacy Policy

This database and website, located at https://scpca.alexslemonade.org/ or any subdomains thereof (the "ScPCADP"), is supported by Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation ("we," "our," or "us").

Your access to, and use of, the ScPCADP is subject to our Terms of Use, located at https://scpca.alexslemonade.org/terms-of-use (the "Terms of Use"). We have created this Privacy Policy (this "Privacy Policy") to explain what information we gather when you visit or interact with the ScPCADP, how we and others may use your information, and the security approaches we use to protect your information. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and made part of the Terms of Use. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Use.

By using the ScPCADP, you consent to the collection and use of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will post the updated version on this page. Changes to this Privacy Policy will apply only to information collected after the date of the change.

1. What information is gathered?

   We may collect and retain information from or about you when you register on the ScPCADP, seek authentication, send or respond to communications, or participate in another ScPCADP feature. Here are the types of personal information we gather:

   • Information You Give Us: When registering or seeking authentication, or otherwise communicating with us, we may ask you for your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credentials or other similar information.

   • Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us, including IP addresses and session identifiers. We may use "cookies" or other tracking tools to enhance your experience and gather information about Users and visits to the ScPCADP. Please refer to the "May we use 'cookies' or other tracking tools?" section below for information about cookies and how we may use them.

   • Information from Other Sources: For purposes such as authentication, monitoring, completeness or accuracy, we may receive information about you from other sources, including third parties you have authorized to share information with us, and we may add or relate such information to your account.

2. How do we respond to "Do Not Track" signals?

   Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret web browser-based "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signals other than cookies, we do not currently respond to, or provide Users with a different ScPCADP experience based on, undefined "DNT" signals to the ScPCADP.

3. How do we use your personal information?

   We may use your personal information in any of the following ways:

   • To authenticate or update your information.

   • To administer your account or profile.

   • To respond to your support requests or otherwise communicate with you.

   • To provide or facilitate any services or transactions associated with your account.

   • To personalize and optimize your ScPCADP experience and to learn about your preferences.

   • To monitor your compliance with the Terms of Use and all applicable Policies.

   • To prevent or remedy any unauthorized or disruptive activity.

   • To administer a survey or other ScPCADP feature.

   • To operate, maintain, analyze, improve, control, or customize the ScPCADP.

4. Do we disclose the information we collect?

   We generally do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer personal information to outside parties unless we provide you with advance notice. However, we may disclose personal information as described below:

   • Agents and Contractors: We may contract with other companies and individuals to operate the ScPCADP and to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include maintaining and hosting the ScPCADP, analyzing data, and providing support. Our agents and contractors have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but they must reasonably safeguard such information and they may not use it or disclose it for other purposes.

   • Authentication: We may disclose your personal information to third parties as reasonably necessary to authenticate you and your information, as applicable.

   • Business Transfers: In the event that we sell or otherwise transfer our assets, or reorganize, merge or transfer our entity, we may provide your information to the purchaser to enable continued use of the ScPCADP. We will take reasonable steps to seek similar treatment of your information, but the purchaser might operate under a different privacy policy.

   • Protection of Us and Others: We release personal information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply the Terms of Use or our other applicable Policies or agreements; or protect the rights, privacy, property, or safety of us, Users or others. We may share information regarding unauthorized or suspicious activity with affected Users, an independent Institutional Review Board or other ethics board, or institutional authorities, as applicable.

   Subject to applicable law, we may share aggregated and statistical information with third parties.

5. How is personal information corrected or updated?

   You can correct or update your personal information by re-registering, updating your profile, or by contacting us at scpca@ccdatalab.org. You can also request that we delete your personal information or remove you from our communications.

6. May we use "cookies" or other tracking tools?

   Yes. We may use web tracking tools such as cookies and web beacons. A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit those pages, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. We may use cookies to track User traffic patterns when you click on various links throughout the ScPCADP to help us understand your preferences and to offer better experiences and tools on the ScPCADP.

   We may contract with third party service providers to assist us in better understanding our Users, including tracking User clicks and recording anonymized User sessions. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf, except to help us conduct and improve the ScPCADP.

   You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies, through your browser settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you might not be able to access or use certain ScPCADP services, features or functionality.

7. How secure is personal information?

   We follow generally accepted industry security standards to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and properly use your personal information. However, no commercial method of information transfer over the Internet or electronic data storage is known to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of that information during its transmission or its storage in our systems.

   It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password, API keys and other identifying tokens, and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you are finished using the ScPCADP.

8. European Data Privacy Rights

   In certain jurisdictions, you may have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether your personal information is being processed, information about the purposes of that processing, and information about the recipients to whom your personal data have been or will be disclosed. You may also have the right to receive a copy of the personal data you have provided and/or request its deletion. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information detailed in the Questions and Feedback section below.

   We are transparent about the ways in which we collect and use personal information, and we welcome your questions and concerns. If you have any concern or complaint about the way we handle your personal information, please contact us as described below. To the extent you believe we have not addressed your concerns or otherwise choose to do so, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the country where you reside and/or in the United States. For information on how you can file a privacy complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, please visit: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

9. Important Notices to Non-United States Residents

   It is important to note that the ScPCADP is operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that any personal information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States. By using the ScPCADP and/or providing us with your personal information, you consent to this transfer.

10. Third Party Links

    In an attempt to provide you with increased value, we may include third party links on the ScPCADP. These linked sites have separate and independent privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of the ScPCADP and welcome any feedback about these linked sites (including if a specific link does not work).

11. Children's Privacy

    We do not knowingly intend to collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If a child has provided us with personal information, a parent or guardian of that child may send an email message to scpca@ccdatalab.org with "Request for Child Information Removal" in the subject line and the name and age of the child in the body of the message. After confirmation, we will make reasonable efforts to delete the child’s information from the database that stores information for the ScPCADP.
