Privacy Policy

The Caring for Denver Foundation (“CFDF”) is committed to privacy and will only use the personal information it collects from and about you in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy (“Policy”).

This Policy describes how we collect, use, protect and disclose personal information we obtain when you visit us, use our services, participate in our events, apply for a grant, communicate with us, access the features on the websites that CFDF owns or controls (today or in the future), including https://caring4denver.org (our “Websites”), interact with us through our social media accounts (our “Social Media Accounts”) (collectively, the Websites and Social Media Accounts are collectively referred to in this Policy as our “Sites”) or any other time you interact with us or provide us with information. You can access our Sites in many ways, including from a computer or mobile device, and this Policy will apply regardless of the means of access. This Policy also describes our collection and use of personal information that we obtain from third parties, including third party social media sites and applications where we post content or invite your feedback or participation. CFDF cannot control the privacy policies or practices of third parties and cannot control the actions of people we do not employ or manage. You should always check the privacy policies of any website you visit and your browser’s privacy settings.

  1. Personal Information Collected By and Through Our Sites

When we refer to “personal information” in this Policy, we refer to any information that identifies, relates to, describes, references or is capable of being associated with or linked to a particular individual. We will not collect any personal information except as described in this Policy or use any personal information we collect for materially different, unrelated or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

Personal Information We Collect From You

When you use our Sites, you may be required or otherwise choose to provide certain personal information directly to us to request more information about our organization, to sign up for our newsletter, to send communications or to otherwise interact with us or the functionalities available on our Sites. The information we may collect includes your first and last name, your email address, your phone number, your date of birth and your geographic location.

We may, now or in the future, allow you to register for an account on our Sites.  When you register for an account, we may access and collect the personal information you provide as part of your account creation, which may include your first and last name, contact information, email address, date of birth, phone number, username and password. We will also collect and maintain information about your use of your account and interactions with our Sites.

When you interact with us through our Sites or otherwise for any reason, including requesting additional information, sending us correspondence, or otherwise, you may choose to provide us with personal information about you. 

All personal information you provide us will be collected, used, shared and stored in accordance with this Policy.

Personal Information We Receive From Third Parties

We may collect your personal information from third party business partners such as social media sites, ad networks, analytics providers and third parties that collect personal information on our behalf in order to provide you with the services and information you request.

We may also collect your personal information from others that refer you to our Sites or our organization.

In general, the third party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So, if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of jurisdiction(s) in which that third party service provider or its facilities are located. Once you leave our Sites, or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Policy.

Personal Information We Automatically Collect

When you use our Sites, our servers automatically record information that your browser or device sends whenever you visit a website or utilize an application. This information may include your IP address, the type of device you are using, your internet service provider or mobile carrier, your device identifiers, your mobile telephone number, your geographic location and your activities on the Sites, including the links you click, the pages or screens you view, your session time, the number of times you click a page/screen or use a feature on the Sites, the date and time you click on a page or use a feature and the amount of time you spend on a page or using a feature.

Like many websites, our Sites also use “cookie” technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve our Sites and our services. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk. A session cookie enables certain features of the Sites and is deleted from your computer when you disconnect from or leave the Sites. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our Sites. We may use both session and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our Sites, to monitor aggregate usage by our uses and web traffic routing on out Sites, and to improve our Sites and the services we offer. You may also be able to configure your computer or mobile device to limit the collection of these “cookies,” but that limitation may also limit our ability to provide all of the services or functionalities of the Sites.  For more information about cookies, including how to set your internet browser to reject cookies, please go to www.allaboutcookies.org.

We may also automatically record certain information from your computer or device by using various types of technology, including “clear gifs” or “web beacons.”  This automatically collected information may include your IP address or other device address or ID, web browser and/or device type, the web pages or sites that you visit just before or after you visit our Sites, the pages or other content you view or otherwise interact with on our Sites and the dates and times that you visit, access or use our Sites.  We may also use these technologies to collect information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you opened, clicked on or forwarded a message, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

Please note that we have not yet developed a response to browser “Do Not Track” signals, and do not change any of our data collection practices when we receive such signals.  We will continue to evaluate potential responses to “Do Not Track” signals in light of industry developments or legal changes.

Personal Information Collected by Third Parties

We may display third-party content on the Sites, including third-party advertising. Third-party content may use cookies, web beacons or other mechanisms for obtaining data in connection with your viewing of the third-party content on our Sites. Additionally, we may implement third-party buttons, such as Facebook “share” buttons, that may function as web beacons even when you do not interact with the button. Information collected through third-party web beacons and buttons is collected directly by these third parties, not by CFDF. Please consult such third party’s data collection, use and disclosure policies for more information.

Our Sites may contain links to other websites. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer or mobile device, collect data or solicit personal information from you. Other websites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We are not responsible for the content, privacy and security practices, and policies of third party sites or services to which links or access are provided through our Sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.

We work with third parties, including social network sites like Twitter and Facebook, and with application developers who specialize in social commerce so that we can connect to your social networks. We provide access to our Sites by third parties and business partners so we can generate interest in our organization among members of your social networks and to allow you to share information with friends in your network. The use of any features made available to you on our Sites by a third party may result in information being collected or shared about you by us or by the third party.

Our Sites use Google Analytics (and in the future may use other similar sites or services), a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), to better assist CFDF in understanding how the Sites are used. Google Analytics will place cookies on your computer or device that will generate information that we select about your use of the Sites, including your computer’s or device’s IP address. That information will be transmitted to and stored by Google. The information will be used for the purpose of evaluating consumer use of the Sites, compiling reports on Sites’ activity for CFDF’s use, and providing other services relating to Site activity and usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. Please note that by doing so, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the Sites. The use of cookies by Google Analytics is covered by Google’s privacy policy.
