By using the PAM platform, you acknowledge the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that we will collect, use, and share your information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is not a contract and does not create any contractual rights or obligations. Your use of the PAM platform is governed by our .

We will collect Personal Information that you manually enter into the PAM platform. For example: (1) information you provide to create your account during the registration process, such as your name, email address, zip code, phone number, gender, contact information, age, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, employment type, and other demographic information, and (2) any screening data and responses you provide to the mood, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress surveys, as well as your responses to the prompts on the tools and activities.

The PAM platform may automatically collect usage data, such as your use of the PAM platform and your device, such as your IP address, your device’s MAC address, web browser, operating system, device model and manufacturer; performance issues; location, or your activity on the PAM platform. Location Information is a type of Personal Information that can be used to locate the device you use to access the Services. Location Information includes (i) the location of the device derived from GPS or Wi-Fi use, (ii) the IP address of the device or internet service used to access the Services, and (iii) any other information you or others make available that indicates your current or prior location.

We may use your Personal Information for the following purposes:

We may also de-identify your Personal Information (“De-Identified Information”). This De-Identified Information is not Personal Information, because it cannot generally be used to identify you, and may be used by Stanford for any lawful purpose. Despite our rigorous de-identification process, which includes removing identifiers that reasonably can be used to identify you directly (such as name or telephone number), experts in re-identification may be able to reverse our processes and/or attempt to re-identify you if given sufficient cross-reference information. Consequently, total anonymity cannot be guaranteed.
Additionally, Stanford may use your Personal Information for any other reason if we tell you (1) when we collect it, or (2) in an authorization or consent.

We may share your Personal Information (1) for the reasons we tell you when we collect it, (2) in an authorization or consent or at your direction, or (3) when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the safety, rights, or property of Stanford or the public. We may share De-Identified Information in all legally permissible ways.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to register for the PAM platform. If you are under 18, you must not attempt to register for the PAM platform and you must not send any information about yourself to us, including but not limited to your name, address, telephone number, or email address. In the event that we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a person under age 18, we will delete that information. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a person under the age of 18, please contact us at pauseamoment @stanford.edu.

We endeavor to protect the privacy of the Personal Information we hold in our records, but we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of your Personal Information at any time.

Please note that all information collected by the Services will be processed in the United States, and this may be done by another entity under contract with Stanford. You should be aware that the laws of the United States may not protect your privacy to the same extent as the laws in the country from which you are accessing the PAM platform.

Your choice to use the PAM platform and participate in the PAM activities is completely voluntary. But if you choose not to register, you will not be able to track your progress or save your activities.

You may access, and in some cases, edit or delete your user profile information and PAM responses through the platform. You may also request a correction to your data or request removal of records from our database and opt out of any future communication by contacting us at pauseamoment@stanford.edu.

Stanford does not respond to Do Not Track signals to the extent received from a web browser. Because there currently is not a universally accepted technological or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals as reflections of user choice, we do not respond to them at this time. Once such technology is created and has received applicable regulatory approval, we will consider (a) whether it is possible; and (b) if so, how it can be incorporated within Stanford’s environment in the future.

You may access, and in some cases, edit or delete your user profile information and PAM responses through the platform. You may also request a correction to your data or request removal of records from our database by contacting us at pauseamoment @stanford.edu. Please do not include any Sensitive Personal Information in your messages. When you update or delete information, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. In addition, please note that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases within a reasonable period of time, we may retain all information you submit for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so, as permitted by applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect any material changes in our programs and practices. These changes will become effective when posted to the PAM platform at , as of the effective date mentioned above. Our use of Personal Information is subject to the version of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. Your use and continued use of the PAM platform following the posting of any changes to this Privacy Policy means you acknowledge such changes.
