These features may collect your IP address, 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.

4. Mobile Applications

When you download and use our mobile app, we automatically collect information on the type of device you use and operating system version.

Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

We collect your location based information for the purpose of providing relevant information (e.g., locating a place you may be searching for) and/or data, information, features and/or services that are accessible only from certain locations. We will only share this information with services providers for the purpose of providing you with these services.

Any personal information collected by your use of our mobile applications will be governed by the terms of this privacy policy. To opt-out of geofencing, you may disable the app's location permissions on your device.

We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile applications on your phone. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any personally identifiable information you submit within the mobile application.

5. Advertising

We partner with third party advertisers, such as Google Analytics, to serve and display advertising on the Services.

We use this information to allow you to sign your child up for youth programs and for you to receive our merchandise as a part of our youth programs, for your child.

To make such a request, please send an email to legalnotices@dolphins.com or write us at Dolphins Challenge Cancer, 347 Don Shula Drive, Miami Gardens, FL 33056, Attn: Legal Department. In some cases, third parties may be able to collect information about a user's online activities over time and across different websites when he or she uses our Services. Some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, we currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.

This California Consumer Privacy Act Notice ("Notice") provides additional information to California residents whose personal information is processed by us pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"). If you are not a California resident, this Notice does not apply to you.

Civ. Code Section 1798.80; (8) protected classifications under California or federal law; (9) commercial information including records or products or services purchased; (10) biometric information; and/or (11) geolocation data.

We do not, and will not without your consent, "sell" personal information for purposes of the CCPA.

In addition, your information may be accessible to third parties with whom you interact or direct us to share your information through our services.

CCPA Rights

The CCPA allows California residents to request that a business that collects consumers' personal information give consumers access, upon a verifiable consumer request, in a portable and (if technically feasible) readily usable form, to the specific pieces and categories of personal information that the business has collected about the consumer, the categories of sources for that information, the business or commercial purposes for collecting the information, and the categories of third parties with which the information was shared. California residents also have the right to submit a request for deletion of personal information under certain circumstances, although there may be legal or other reasons that we must retain your information consistent with California law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights and choices, although some of the functionality and features available to you may change or no longer be available to you. Any differences in the services are related to the value provided.

Please submit your request by sending an email to legalnotices@dolphins.com, calling (888) 346-7287 or submitting the web tool, which is accessible via the following hyperlink: Web Tool. Once we receive your request, we may verify it by requesting information sufficient to confirm your identity. If you would like to use an authorized agent registered with the California Secretary of State to exercise your rights, we may request evidence that you have provided such agent with power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf. We reserve the right to deny requests in certain circumstances, such as where we have a reasonable belief that the request is fraudulent.
