JiCF collects information from our users at several different points in our Services, including:
• Various Registrations: In order to receive certain updates or use certain features of the Services, you may have to complete a registration form. During registration you will be required to give your contact data. This information is used to contact you about the Services. If asked for, providing demographic data is optional.

• Event Attendance: If you attend a JiCF event, there may be an opportunity to provide contact
information and sign up to receive additional content or information about how to engage with the work of JiCF. You may opt-out of receiving future mailings as set forth in the section entitled “Your Rights and Choices” below. In addition, we take photographs at JiCF events that may include images of attendees, for use in our future promotional materials.
• Fundraising: If you decide to participate in a fundraising event, there may be an opportunity to creating a fundraiser page through the JiCF Services and solicit donations on behalf of JiCF. We collect contact and other information from fundraisers, and will add you to our email and text distribution lists with your consent.

If you need additional assistance, you can also contact us as set forth in the section entitled “Contact Us” below. We will not sell, share, or trade donor names with any organizations or third parties unless required by applicable law.
You may choose to voluntarily submit other information to us through the JiCF Services that we do not request, and, in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information.
Personal Information once “de-identified” is not subject to this Privacy Policy and we may treat it as non-Personal Information and use it without obligation to you except as prohibited by applicable law.
Information Collected Automatically
In addition, we automatically collect information about your device and how your device interacts with the JiCF Services. We may use Service Providers to collect this information. Some examples of information we collect include the following:
o Service Use Data: We may collect data about the features you use, the pages you visit, the e-mails and advertisements you view, the time of day you browse, your referring and exiting pages, and other similar information.
o Device Connectivity and Configuring Data. We collect data about the type of device or browser you use, your device’s operating software, your internet service provider, your device’s regional and language settings, and other similar information. This data also includes IP address, MAC address, device advertising ID (e.g., IDFA or AAID), and other device identifiers.
o Location Data. We collect data about your device’s location, which can be precise (e.g., latitude/longitude data) or imprecise (e.g., location derived from an IP address or data that indicates a city or postal code level).
We may use various current – and later – developed technologies to collect this information (“Tracking Technologies”), to collect information about your interactions with the JiCF Services, including information about your browsing and activity behavior:
o Log Files.
A log file is a file that records events that occur in connection with your use of the JiCF Services, such as your service use data.
. Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed in your device browser directories to store your information about your use of the JiCF Services and your activities online (collectively, “Cookies”). A Cookie will typically contain the name of the domain (internet location) from which the Cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the Cookie (i.e. when does it expire), and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. We use Cookies so that we can improve your online experience – for example, by remembering you when you come back to visit us, and making the content you see more relevant to you.
. Pixel Tags (“Web Beacons” or “clear gifs”)
Pixel Tags are small graphic images, also known as “web beacons” or “clear gifs,” embedded in web
pages and e-mail messages. Pixel Tags may be used to count the number of visitors to the JiCF Services, to monitor how users navigate the JiCF Services, and to count content views.
. Embedded Scripts
An embedded script is programming code designed to collect information about your interactions with the JiCF Services. It is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third party with whom we work, is active only while you are connected to the JiCF Services, and deleted or deactivated thereafter.
. Location-identifying Technologies
GPS (global positioning systems) software, geo-filtering, Bluetooth, and other location-aware
technologies locate (sometimes precisely) you for purposes such as verifying your location and delivering or restricting relevant content based on your location.
. Device Fingerprinting.
Device fingerprinting is the process of analyzing and combining sets of information elements from your device’s browser, such as JavaScript objects and installed fonts, in order to create a “fingerprint” of your device and uniquely identify your device and applications.
Some information about your use of the JiCF Services and certain Third Party Services (defined below) may be collected using Tracking Technologies across time and services and used by us and third parties for purposes
such as to associate different devices you use, and deliver relevant ads and/or other content to you on the JiCF Services and certain Third Party Services.
For further information on Tracking Technologies and your rights and choices regarding them, please see “Third Party Services” and “Your Rights and Choices” below.
Information from Franchisees and Other Third Party Sources
We may also receive information about you from third parties. For instance, we may receive information about you from our franchisees. To the extent we combine such third party sourced information with information we have collected about you through the JiCF Services, we will treat such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, plus any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data. These third party sources vary over time, but may include:
• Data brokers from which we purchase demographic data to supplement the data we collect.
• Social networks when you reference our Service or grant permission to JiCF to access your data on one or more of these services.
• Partners with which we offer co-branded services, sell or distribute our products, or engage in joint marketing activities.

Franchisees are independent owner/operators of one or more Dunkin’ Brands stores.
Business Partners
When you engage in any fundraising activities, we may share your information with other organizations with which we are partnering to offer you additional products and services (“Offers”). All Offers that take place in collaboration with partnering organizations will clearly state this relationship in all materials on the JiCF Services (both online and offline). When you elect to engage in a particular Offer, we may provide your e-mail address and other information to a partnering organization. In addition, your information may be disclosed to third parties for administrative purposes and as required by law. By participating in an Offer, you agree to the official rules that govern that Offer, and may, except where prohibited by applicable law, allow the sponsor and/or other parties to use your name, voice and/or likeness in advertising or marketing materials.
Other Third Parties
We may disclose your information with third parties for purposes of facilitating your requests and providing you with advertisements, including those tailored to your interests.
Corporate Transactions or Events

For information on your rights and choices regarding how we share your information, please see the “Your Rights and Choices” section below.
4. Third Party Services, Devices and Links
You may find that it is possible to link from third party websites to the JiCF Services, or access content or links on the JiCF Services to websites, platforms, and services operated and owned by third parties (“Third Party Services”). To the extent we combine information from Third Party Services with Personal Information we collect directly from you on the JiCF Services, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy. However, Third Party Services are not under our control, and may use Tracking Technologies to independently collect information about you and may solicit Personal Information from you. JiCF is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any Third Party Services or third party devices. You should consult the privacy policy of the Third Party Service to or from which you access content or link to determine the information practices of that Third Party Service.
Social Networking and Other Third Party Features
In addition, the JiCF Services contain third party technologies that allow you interact with or connect the JiCF Services to certain Third Party Services (“Third Party Features”). For example, you may use a Third Party Feature to “like” or “share” our content over social media. If you use a Third Party Feature, both JiCF and the applicable Third Party Service may have access to certain information about you and your use of the JiCF Services and the Third Party Service. Similarly, if you publicly reference the JiCF Services on a Third Party Service (e.g., by using a hashtag associated with JiCF in a tweet or post), we may use your reference on or in connection with the JiCF Services. When you use Third Party Features, including to connect the JiCF Services to any social network or other Third Party Service, please remember that you are bound by the privacy policy of the social network or Third Party Service, and we do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of such social network or Third Party Service. You should consult the privacy policy of such Third Party Services to determine the information practices of those Third Party Services.
Analytics and Online Advertising
We may use Google Analytics and other third parties for analytics services. These third parties may use Tracking Technologies to track the actions of users of the JiCF Services, to measure statistics of user activity on the JiCF Services, and provide other services relating to JiCF Services activity and internet usage. We may also engage and work with third parties to serve advertisements on the JiCF Services and/or on Third Party Services. These third parties may use Tracking Technologies to track marketing efforts and to deliver “interest-based advertisements” that may be more relevant to individual consumers. For example, if your information indicates that you live in an area where a particular Offer is going on, you may receive an advertisement on the JiCF Services and/or on a Third Party Service that is specific to that Offer. As above, the information collected and stored by any such Third Party Services remains subject to their own policies and practices.
For further information on Tracking Technologies and your rights and choices regarding them, please see “Information Collected Automatically” above and “Your Rights and Choices” below.

Please note that your opt-out is limited to the e-mail address, phone number, or device used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions or, for e-mails, “transactional or relationship” communications.
Tracking Technologies Generally and "Do Not Track”
If you do not wish to receive Cookies or wish to manage when you accept Cookies in general, you may set your browser to reject Cookies or to alert you when a Cookie is placed on your device. Although you are not required to accept our Cookies, if you set your browser to reject Cookies, you may not be able to use all of the features and functionality of the JiCF Services. To find out more about Cookies, including how to see what Cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them,
visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising
You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Opting-out is generally done by the third party dropping a cookie on your browser indicating your intent to opt-out. If you get a new device, install a new browser, erase, or otherwise alter the third party’s browser cookie file, you may clear the opt-out cookie and no longer be subject to its opt-out.
We support the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) (“Principles”). This means that we allow you to exercise choice regarding the collection of information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites for online interest based advertising purposes. More information about these Principles can be found at www.aboutads.info/. If you want to “opt out” of receiving online interest-based advertisements on your internet browser from advertisers and third parties that participate in the DAA Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising and perform advertising-related services for us and our partners, please follow the instructions at www.aboutads.info/choices, or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. An “opt-out” Cookie will be placed on your device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based
advertisements. Opt-out Cookies only work on the internet browser and device they are downloaded onto. If
you want to opt-out of interest-based advertisements across all of your browsers and devices, you will need to opt-out on each browser on each device you actively use. If you delete Cookies on your device generally, you will need to opt-out again. If you want to “opt out” of receiving online interest-based advertisements on your mobile apps, please follow the instructions at http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. Please note that when you “opt-out” of receiving interest-based advertisements, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on the JiCF Services. It means that the online ads that you do see from participants should not be based on your particular interests. JiCF is not responsible for effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third-parties’ opt out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, third parties may still use Tracking Technologies to collect information about your use of the JiCF Services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the Principles.
6. Your California Privacy Rights
JiCF may share personal information as defined by California’s “Shine the Light” law with third parties and/or Affiliates for such third parties’ and Affiliates’ own direct marketing purposes. If you are a California customer, you are entitled to request certain information regarding our compliance with this law. To request such a notice, please send a letter to: Joy in Childhood Foundation, 130 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021. Requests must include “California Privacy Rights Request” in the first line of the description and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Please note that JiCF is not required to respond to requests made by means other than through the provided e-mail address or mail address.
7. Your European Privacy Rights
If you are a data subject in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), you have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we have collected about you through the JiCF Services. You also have the right to data portability and the right to restrict or object to our processing of personal data we have collected about you through the JiCF Services. You may withdraw your consent at any time for any data processing we do based on consent you have provided to us.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us as set forth in the section entitled “Contact Us” below and specify which right you intend to exercise. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may require additional information from you to allow us to confirm your identity. Please note that we store information as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and may continue to retain and use the information even after a data subject request for purposes of our legitimate interests, including to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.
If you have any issues with our compliance, you have the right to lodge a complaint with an EEA supervisory authority.
8. Children’s Online Privacy
JiCF recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of children online. The JiCF Services are intended for general audiences and are not directed to children under thirteen (13). We do not knowingly collect personal information as defined by the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) from children in a manner that is not permitted by COPPA.
If you become aware that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information as defined by COPPA through the JiCF Services, we ask that you e-mail us at foundation@dunkinbrands.com. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information as defined by COPPA, we will delete the child’s information from our records to the extent required by COPPA.
9. International Transfer
JiCF is based in the U.S. and the information we and our Service Providers collect is governed by U.S. law. If you are accessing the Service from outside of the U.S., please be aware that information collected through the Service may be transferred to, processed, stored and used in the U.S. Data protection laws in the U.S.
may be different from those of your country of residence. Your use of the Service or provision of any information therefore constitutes your consent to the transfer to and from, processing, usage, sharing and storage of your information, including Personal Information, in the U.S. as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
10. Data Security
We implement and maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical security measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your information collected through the JiCF Services.
11. Updates to this Policy
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes through a prominent notice on the JiCF Services or notify you directly. Regardless of our efforts, we encourage you to review this Privacy Policy each time you visit the JiCF Services.
