At Colorado Gives Foundation, we respect the privacy of visitors to our website, ColoradoGivesFoundation.org, and understand your concerns about privacy on the Internet and take them very seriously.

Our goal is to connect you with information about the Foundation, charitable giving, and a way to donate to the Foundation in the most convenient, secure manner possible. We never sell, share, or disclose any personal information about you, other than as described in this policy.

When you make a donation to Colorado Gives Foundation, you may receive occasional e‐mails from us updating you on the Foundation, noteworthy developments in philanthropy, and seeking your feedback through surveys. If you do not wish to hear from us, simply use the unsubscribe feature on these e‐mails and/or contact us directly.

This policy also applies to Colorado Gives Foundation donors and fund advisors who must provide personal information that authenticates their identity in order to use iCommunity, our online donor and Nonprofit Endowment Partner portal. The following explains our privacy policy in more detail.

Our Policy

At our site we don’t collect personally identifiable information about individuals unless they knowingly provide it to us. So, if you just want to browse and learn about nonprofit services, programs, and benefits, we invite you to do so. If you are a casual, unregistered visitor to our site, we’ll recognize the IP address from which you access the Internet (e.g., 123.234.345.456, or earthlink.com) but not your email address or any other personal or system information. Once you provide us with personal or professional information, that data remains confidential and will only be used by Colorado Gives Foundation. We authorize our employees to view your personal information only when necessary to serve you better. We will not share any information you provide to us with any other organization.

Security Online

Sections of our website use Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) encryption. SSL/TLS is a generally accepted protocol that encrypts all communication between your web browser and the site you are viewing to prevent third parties from eavesdropping or tampering with your information. Common browsers, such as Internet Explorer, make it obvious when information is being passed in a secure manner by using the prefix https:// in the URL or displaying a padlock somewhere in the browser window. Our website uses a third party SSL/TLS Certificate provider. The level of encryption is determined by your web browser, your computer’s operating system, and the SSL/TLS Certificate. When you click on a link to make an online donation on ColoradoGivesFoundation.org, you will be directed to ColoradoGives.org, an online giving program owned by Colorado Gives Foundation. The privacy policies of ColoradoGives.org will apply while you are on that website.

Cookies

We use cookies to store visitors’ preferences, record session information, and record past activity at our site in order to provide better service when visitors return to our site.

Other information

ColoradoGivesFoundation.org also uses Google Analytics which is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. We use Google Analytics to allow us to determine things such as the number of unique and returning visitors, how they were referred to our website, the length of time they spend on our website, the number of pages they visit and other similar information. As part of Google Analytics, we have also implemented the Google Analytics Advertising Feature of Demographic and Interest Reporting which enables Google Analytics to collect data about our traffic via Google advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers in addition to data collected through a standard Google Analytics implementation. This allows us to get a sense of the gender, age and interests of people visiting the site. Visitors can edit their inferred demographic categories for websites or opt‐out of Google Analytics Advertising Features by visiting Ad Settings, Ad Settings for mobile apps or any other available means. For example, NAI’s consumer opt‐out or Google

Analytics’ currently available opt‐outs for the web. We will not facilitate the merging of personally identifiable information with non‐personally identifiable information collected through any Google advertising product or feature unless we have robust notice of, and the user’s prior affirmative (i.e., opt-in) consent to, that merger. You may learn more about Google Analytics security by visiting its website.

This website has links to other websites. We are not responsible for, nor do we have any control over, the privacy practice or the content of such other websites and we encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

We do not partner with or have special relationships with any ad server companies.

If you have questions or concerns about our privacy policies or data processing, please contact us at the address displayed above.

We may update our information collection and processing practices or our privacy policies from time to time. When we change such practices or policies in a material way, we will revise this statement accordingly and would encourage you to revisit this page from time to time to learn about any such changes.
