Automatically Collected Technical Information
YMCA of the Roses may also collect information about you when you visit our websites, which your web browser automatically sends whenever you visit a website on the Internet (“Technical Information”). Technical Information is information that does not, by itself, identify a specific individual but which could be used to indirectly identify you. Our servers automatically record this information, which may include your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser language and other information about your web browser, type of device (including mobile device) used to access our website, and the date and time of your request. Gathering Technical Information helps us ensure our websites and other services work correctly and support our operational analytic efforts. We may collect information automatically through the following:
• A “Cookie,” a small dataset that we transfer to your computer so that we can keep track of your interests and/or preferences and recognize you as a return visitor to the websites;
• “Clear GIFs,” sometimes called “web beacons,” which are small images placed on a web page or in an e-mail message. We use clear GIFs to monitor user behavior, deliver cookies, collect information, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness, and to tell if a recipient has opened and acted upon an e-mail;
• “Log Files,” which record website activity on our services and enable us to gather statistics about our users’ browsing habits. These entries help YMCA of the Roses determine (among other things) how many and how often users have accessed or used our services, which pages they have visited and other similar data;
• Marketing E-mail Communications where we use pixel tags and cookies so that we can track your interaction with those messages, such as when you open the e-mail or click a URL link that is embedded within them. When recipients click on one of those URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on a company website; or
• Mobile Communications when you download or use our mobile-device applications, or access one of our mobile-optimized websites, we may receive information about your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device.
Social Media Applications/Networking Websites
Our websites include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button and other widgets that run on our site. These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on our site and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the organization providing it. For example, if you create or log into your account through a third-party social networking site, we may have access to certain information from that site, such as your name, account information and friends, in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by such third-party social networking site.

How We Protect Your Data
Our Security Commitment
Securing the information entrusted to us is of the utmost importance for YMCA of the Roses. YMCA of the Roses uses administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security of your Personal Information from unauthorized disclosure. We use applicable industry standard encryption protocols to keep information secure. YMCA of the Roses reviews its security procedures periodically to consider appropriate new technology and updated methods. We also make all attempts to ensure that only necessary people and third parties have access to Personal Information. Nevertheless, such security measures cannot prevent all loss, misuse or alteration of Personal Information and we cannot guarantee the security of our websites or any other site on the Internet. Where required under law, we will notify you of any loss, misuse or alteration of Personal Information that may affect you.
Our Security Standards for Third Parties
We require that our third-party service providers, affiliates, and partners agree to use all confidential information that we share with them only to perform their obligations in the agreements we have in place with them. These third-party service providers, affiliates, and partners are expected to maintain privacy and security protections that are consistent with YMCA of the Roses’s privacy and information security policies.
How We Store Your Data
YMCA of the Roses will retain your Personal Information for as long as required to perform the purposes for which the data was collected, depending on the legal basis for which that data was obtained and/or whether additional legal or regulatory obligations mandate that we retain your Personal Information. We may also retain Personal Information for the period during which a claim may be made in relation to our dealings with you.
Children
YMCA of the Roses recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy and safety of children. To provide the services we offer, we may need to collect Personal Information about children under the age of 13 in both online and offline contexts. However, we do not knowingly collect information about children under the age of 13 or minors otherwise defined in local law or regulation without verifiable parental consent. YMCA of the Roses may collect Personal Information about a child under the age of 13 if the child’s parent or legal guardian registers their child for a YMCA of the Roses event, conference or activity. If we learn that someone under 13 has provided Personal Information through one of our websites, we will use reasonable efforts to remove that information from our databases. If you are a parent and have questions regarding YMCA of the Roses’s data collection practices, please contact us at [email protected]
