Updated: 2/4/2019

At Marathon Kids, we will not trade, share or sell a donor’s personal information—including email address, physical address and phone number—with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations, regardless of how the donor's information was collected (online or offline). No action is required by donors to Marathon Kids to have their information protected by this policy. For more information, please see below.

Information Collection

When you sign up to volunteer, donate online, or register yourself or your school for our program, we ask that you provide contact information which may include: name, mailing address, email address, your birth month and year, the name, age and gender of the runners in your family, and password.

We may supplement the information we collect about you with outside records from third parties in order to provide you with information, services or goods you have requested, and to enhance our ability to serve you. We may combine the information we receive from those other sources with information we collect through the app. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Notice to the combined information.

In addition to any personal information or other information that you choose to submit to us, we and our third party service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect certain information whenever you interact with this app (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include the browser and operating system you are using, the URL or advertisement that referred you to the app, and the time of day you interacted with the app, among other information. Usage Information also includes the IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for any computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device (any of which are referred to herein as a “Device”) used to access the app. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device, and our servers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. Some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the Device used to access the app.

The methods that may be used to collect Usage Information include the following:

Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into an e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.

You may withdraw any consent you previously provided to us or object at any time. We will apply your preferences going forward. In some circumstances, withdrawing your consent to our use or disclosure of your personal information will mean that you cannot take advantage of certain offerings or Site features.

Security of Information Collected

Our Website has security measures in place designed to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control.

We do not store your credit card information in-house at any time. You are welcome to visit our site without providing any personal information.

Despite our efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your account by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your user ID and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

 

Tracking

We will not respond to Web browser “do not track” signals. If you would like additional information about online tracking and various opt-out mechanisms, please see http://donottrack.us/
