We only collect Personal Data from children over 13 but under 18 with the written consent of the parent or guardian (or from the parent or guardian directly).
Throughout this Privacy Notice, the term “Personal Data” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or device.

Third-Party Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Websites and Applications are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, analytics providers, social media companies, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about you when you use our Website.

They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly. For information about how you can opt out of receiving targeted advertising from many providers, see Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information.

We may further anonymize or aggregate your Personal Data in accordance with applicable law such that it can no longer reasonably be used to identify you and use it without restriction.
Text Messaging
With your consent, we may send you informational, marketing, and promotional messages to your mobile device with your consent. We may use third-party service providers to provide messages services to us for these messages. Our third-party service providers are contractually obligated to use your phone number and information provided to us only to send you these messages on behalf of PMC and not to use your information (including your phone number) to send marketing, fundraising, or other messages on behalf of any other organization. However, your consent to receive these messages from PMC is completely optional. If you do not provide consent, neither PMC nor its third-party service providers will send you messages on PMC’s behalf.
We do not share, sell, or otherwise disclose your Personal Data for purposes other than those outlined in this Privacy Notice. However, we may disclose anonymized or aggregated information about our users, and information that does not reasonably identify any individual, without restriction.
We may disclose Personal Data that we collect or that you provide as described in this Privacy Notice:
We may also disclose your Personal Data:
If you are a rider, we may also disclose Personal Data you choose to disclose to the general public on your rider campaign page. This may include your current donations and your donation goal. If you have donated to a rider’s campaign (or to PMC, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, or an Event in general), we may disclose your name and your donation amount to the general public, unless you opt-out of such disclosures by clicking the box to make your donation anonymous, when this choice is provided to you.
We do not control the collection and use of your information collected by third parties described above in Disclosure of Your Information. When possible, these organizations are under contractual obligations to use this data only for providing the services to us and to maintain this information strictly confidential. These third parties may, however, aggregate the information they collect with information from their other customers for their own purposes.
In addition, we strive to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Data we have collected about you. We have created mechanisms to provide you with control over your Personal Data:
We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can learn more about interest-based advertisements and your opt-out rights and options from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) on its website (www.networkadvertising.org) and from members of the Digital Advertising Alliance on its website (www.aboutads.info).
If you are a rider, you can review and change your Personal Data by logging into the applicable Website or Application for your Event and visiting your account profile page. Note that you may not be able to correct some information that may require verification through the Websites or Applications.
You may also send us an email at panmass@pmc.org to request access to, correct or delete any Personal Data that we have collected about you. For riders, we cannot delete your Personal Data except by also deleting your user account, which may de-register you from the ride you registered for without any refund of registration fees. We may not accommodate a request to change or delete your Personal Data if we believe the change or deletion would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
If you delete your User Contributions from the Website, copies of your User Contributions may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or might have been copied or stored by other Website users.
California law permits minors under the age of 18 to request the removal of your User Contributions, subject to certain exceptions. If you are under the age of 18 in California, you may contact us using the Contact Information below (if you contact us via email, please use the subject “California Eraser Law Request”). We may not remove your User Contributions that we are required to retain under any federal or state law, or that have been provided to a third party. While we will do our best to remove a minor’s information upon a valid request, we cannot ensure the complete or comprehensive removal of your User Contributions from our Websites or any information that has been republished, copied, downloaded, or reposted by any third party, and we cannot guarantee that any such information may not be accessible to users of the Internet in the future. We do not advertise or market any of the products or services identified in California Business and Professionals Code Section 22580(i) to users who we have actual knowledge are under 18 years of age.
We may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking). Some web browsers permit you to broadcast a signal to websites and online services indicating a preference that they “do not track” your online activities. At this time, we do not honor such signals, and we do not modify what information we collect or how we use that information based upon whether such a signal is broadcast or received by us.
We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Our Websites and Applications are designed to only collect, transmit, and otherwise process your credit card or other financial account information using approved encryption algorithms and as otherwise required by our merchant bank/payment processor. Please note that when you enter your financial account information, it goes directly to our merchant bank/payment processor or one of their subcontractors. As required by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, PMC may only receive a tokenized version of your credit card or other financial account information which may only be used with our merchant bank/payment processor for dispute resolution and for recurring donations and cannot be used by any third person with us or any other retailer or merchant.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Websites and Applications, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Websites like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Websites.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we have implemented measures to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to our Websites or through our Applications. Any transmission of Personal Data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures deployed on the Websites or through our Applications.
In order to provide our Websites and Applications to you, we may send and store your Personal Data outside of the country where you reside or are located, including to countries that may not or do not provide an equivalent level of protection for your Personal Data. Your Personal Data may be processed and stored in the United States and federal, state, and local governments, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies in the United States may be able to obtain disclosure of your information through the laws of the United States. By using our Websites, you represent that you have read and understood the above and hereby consent to the storage and processing of Personal Data outside the country where you reside or are located, including in the United States.
Your Personal Data is transferred by PMC to another country only if it is required or permitted under applicable data protection law and provided, however, that there are appropriate safeguards in place to protect your Personal Data. To ensure your Personal Data is treated in accordance with this Privacy Notice when we transfer it to a third party, PMC uses Data Protection Agreements between PMC and all other recipients of your Personal Data.
We may change this Privacy Notice at any time. It is our policy to post any changes we make to our Privacy Notice on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ Personal Data, we will notify you through a notice on the Websites’ home page. The date this Privacy Notice was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Websites and this Privacy Notice to check for any changes.
Your continued use of our Websites or Applications following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance to such changes.
