This Privacy Notice applies to the processing of Personal Information collected in the context of this Mastercard donation service mobile application (the “App”) which provides the channel to donate to charities and causes identified on this App. This Privacy Notice applies to this App in connection with your participation in the Mastercard donation service (the “Program”) and it does not cover the collection and use of your Personal Information on other Mastercard branded platforms or by your Mastercard issuers (e.g., your bank) or any other information or communications that may refer to Mastercard outside this program (e.g. communications from banks).
This Privacy Notice describes the types of Personal Information we collect in connection with the App, the purposes for which we collect that Personal Information, the other parties with whom we may share it and the measures we take to protect the security of the data. It also tells you about your rights and choices with respect to your Personal Information, and how you can reach us to update your contact information or get answers to questions you may have about our privacy practices.
Your visit to the App is subject to this Privacy Notice, and to our Terms of Use. Children and minors (under the age of 18) are not eligible to use the Program.

We may collect the following Personal Information:
For the purpose of this Privacy Notice, “Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. In connection with the App, we obtain Personal Information relating to you from various sources described below.
Where applicable, we indicate whether and why you must provide us with your Personal Information, as well as the consequences of failing to do so. If you do not provide Personal Information when requested, you may not be able to use the App if that information is necessary to provide you with the App or if we are legally required to collect it.
a. Personal Information Provided by You

When you use the App, we may collect certain information by automated means via cookies and similar technologies, such as IP address, MAC address, device ID, location data, information on actions taken on the App, dates and times of actions, and other mobile trackers. We use this information to improve the App by assessing how many users access or use our service, which content, products, and features of our service most interest our visitors, what types of offers our customers like to see, and how our service performs from a technical point of view.
c. Tailored Content and Services
We may use your Personal Information, including information about your interactions with the App to analyze your preferences, interests and behavior in order to provide you with tailored content and the most relevant offers, content, or messages.

Where required under applicable law, we obtain your consent prior to using the above automated means, and prior to sending you marketing communications, tailored content and advertisings.

For more information on our balancing tests, you may contact us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below.
We will not subject you to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, unless you explicitly consented to the processing, the processing is necessary for entering into, or performance of a contract between you and Mastercard, or when we are legally required to use your Personal Information in this way, for example to prevent fraud.
