INFORMATION COLLECTION

Information You Provide to Us

The MY LEAD UP APP Service(s) are not intended for children under age 13, and The MY LEAD UP APP practices for protecting user privacy are designed to comply with U.S. law, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA") when applicable. Children Under 13 Years of Age Should Not Submit Personal Information via the Services The MY LEAD UP APP's primary audience is adults and young adults, ages 13 and older. The MY LEAD UP APP does not knowingly collect information from children who are under 13 years of age or provide any personally identifying information from such users to any third party for any reason whatsoever. No information should be submitted to the Service(s) by users under 13 years of age, and users under 13 years of age are not permitted to register for programs or activities. If we learn that a user under 13 years of age has submitted personally identifiable information online, we will take reasonable measures to delete such information from our databases and to make no use of such information (except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or others as required by law). The MY LEAD UP APP encourages parents and guardians to monitor and participate in their children's online activities.

Areas of the Site(s) that require you to complete a registration process before using those areas are solely directed to users who are at least 18 years of age, or who are at least 13 years of age and whose parents have explicitly consented to their registration. We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you use our Services, book travel, register for our Services or set up a The MY LEAD UP APP account, subscribe to our emails, mobile messages, or social media notifications, post on our forums or blogs, communicate with us via third party social media sites, shop our Services, request customer support, apply for a job or otherwise communicate with us through the Services.

The types of information we may collect include Personal Information. "Personal Information" is information that could reasonably be linked with a particular consumer or household, including information that can be used to identify an individual (whether alone or in combination), such as your first and last name, email address, zip code, billing address, shipping address, phone number, payment card information, social media account information, travel preferences, birth date, redress number, and demographic information. "Personal Information" also may include sensitive information, such as present and future health status, and genetic information, to allow us to better serve your needs. You may choose to voluntarily submit certain other information to us through the Services, including Personal Information, but you are solely responsible for your own Personal Information that you submit to us.

If you apply for or inquire about employment with us, "Personal Information" may also include your education, occupation, and employment history. This Privacy Statement is not intended to be a substitute for disclosure or authorization obligations regarding background checks, which may be required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws. If we conduct a background check on you, at that time we will provide you with separate disclosure and authorization forms informing you of our intent to check your background, and requesting your consent to do so.

We and our agents, vendors, and service providers may combine this information with other information about you and use it for various purposes, such as improving our Services and your online experience, understanding which areas and features of our Services are popular, counting visits, understanding campaign effectiveness, tailoring communications with you, determining whether an e-mail has been opened and/or links within the e-mail have been clicked, and for other internal business purposes. o Cookies: Cookies are data files that are placed on a computer when it is used to visit a website.

Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our Services.

ADVERTISING & ANALYTICS SERVICES AND ONLINE TRACKING

We engage third parties to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide analytics about the use of our Services. In addition, we may participate in online advertising networks and exchanges that display relevant advertisements to our Services visitors based on their interests as reflected in their browsing of the Service and certain third party sites participating in the same networks and exchanges. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, and other technologies to automatically collect information about your use of the Service, such as your IP address, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by us and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on the Services and other websites and better understand your online activity. Data collected from a particular browser or device may be used with another computer or device that is linked to the browser or device on which such data was collected, or transferred to a non-affiliate for such purposes. This means that some information about your browsing of the Service and certain third party sites may be shared with these companies for the purpose of delivering ads to you on the Services and certain third party sites, and the MY LEAD UP APP and KU CCHD may receive from some of these companies information about third party sites that you have visited. This information is used for marketing purposes and the practice is sometimes termed "retargeting" to indicate that information from one retailer is used to suggest to you relevant products offered by another retailer. These and other third parties may also collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Service. We may also work with third parties to serve ads to you as part of a customized campaign on other websites or platforms. This Privacy Statement does not cover any use of information that such third parties themselves may have collected from you (e.g., type of browser, operating system, domain name, day and time of visit, page(s) visited) or the methods used by the third-parties to collect that information (e.g., cookies, web beacons and clear gifs). Note that your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a "Do Not Track" signal to websites and online services you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what "Do Not Track" means in this context. Like many websites and online services, the MY LEAD UP APP and KU CCHD currently do not alter its practices when it receives a "Do Not Track" signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about "Do Not Track," you may wish to visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com. Certain advertising networks and exchanges may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Ad Choices Program and may display an Advertising Option Icon for interest-based ads. You can learn more about the DAA Ad Choices Program at http://www.youradchoices.com . The DAA also offers a tool for opting out of the collection of cross-app data on a mobile device for interest-based advertising. To exercise choice for companies participating in this tool, download the App Choice app at http://youradchoices.com/appchoices. In addition, certain advertising networks and exchanges may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI"). NAI has developed a tool that allows consumers to opt out of targeted advertising delivered by NAI members' ad networks. To learn more about opting out of targeted advertising or to use the tool, visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. We are 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. Choices you make are both browser and device-specific.
