Privacy Policy

Solving Kids’ Cancer™ (“SKC”) maintains our web site, www.solvingkidscancer.org (the “Website”), in order to provide you with information about our organization, work, and events. This privacy statement applies to Solving Kids’ Cancer, Inc. (“Solving Kids’ Cancer”, “SKC”) with respect to the privacy of all of our constituents, including our online and offline visitors and donors.

Solving Kids’ Cancer respects your privacy and wants you to know how we collect and use your information. To protect your privacy, Solving Kids’ Cancer does not sell, rent, exchange or otherwise share personal information about donors, supporters, or event participants with any other organization or individual, except as described below.

What Personal Information We Collect, How, and Why.

This website (www.solvingkidscancer.org), collects contact information when you donate or register, which may include personal information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card number, in order to register your participation, process your donation, and/or provide a receipt. We may also receive data about you from third parties that have your permission to share your personal information. We may use clear GIFs (image files) in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened and use bounce-back technologies for undeliverable emails. These technologies assist us in managing our email list, as well as to determine what information is important to you as a reader. Each time you visit the Website, our server will record your server address, your domain name, your browser type, your platform, the date and time of visit, and the titles of pages you view. If you make an online donation, we will request certain Personal Information (such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, and credit card information). This information enables us to process your donation and communicate with you about it. For your security, we use a trusted, secure vendor, not volunteers, to process your personal financial information. Through our sites or otherwise, you may decide to submit Personal information (such as your name and email address) for purposes other than donating (such as receiving an email newsletter or further information as to a particular topic).

With Whom We Share It.

We may share personally identifiable information with third parties that provide operational services or otherwise assist Solving Kids’ Cancer in providing you with support and resources, such as website hosting, data analytics, email delivery, marketing, and other services. In addition, we may share limited contact information, with select volunteers and contracted third-party vendors who use it as part of their efforts to organize or assist with Solving Kids’ Cancer events and activities. Entities entrusted with personal information agree and are required to keep that information private. Even then, these entities only receive limited information, such as contact information.

Your Interactions with this Web Site.

As you browse Solvingkidscancer.org, trusted third party vendors may place anonymous cookies (small text files that do not damage a visitor's system or files) or similar technologies on your computer in order to better understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience to tailor more relevant content to you. Most browsers will allow a user to accept or deny cookies. If a visitor rejects our cookies, they may still use our site, though some sections may be inaccessible. The cookie cannot capture your Personal Information, retrieve any data from your hard drive, or pass on a computer virus.

Solving Kids’ Cancer may periodically perform statistical analyses of aggregate user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of various areas on our Web site and to use such information to improve our Web site's ability to serve you better. We don’t share personally identifiable information collected in these surveys, and we limit others from doing so as well.

Data Security and Retention.

We care about the security of your transactions and apply industry-standard practices and technologies to safeguard your credit card information. We also employ other best practice security protocols to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the organization. Security best practices include encrypting all web traffic, testing for security vulnerabilities, correcting all critical and/or high vulnerabilities, and securing Solving Kids’ Cancer’s websites and applications with Web Application Firewalls and Intrusion Protection Systems.

We only keep your information for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was processed and/or as permitted by law.

Minors.

We do not knowingly collect information about children under 13 years old without parental consent. If you believe a child has submitted his/her personal information to us without parental consent, please contact info@solvingkidscancer.org and we will promptly delete it.
