Online Privacy Policy
EFFECTIVE AS OF: January 1, 2005
The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado and the ACLU Foundation of Colorado (collectively, "ACLU-CO") are committed to protecting the personal information that you provide to us when using the ACLU-CO Site. This Online Privacy Policy describes how we treat all user data collected during your visit to the ACLU-CO Site, both anonymous data and personally identifying data.
The ACLU-CO may occasionally update this policy. We will post any changes on this Web page, so be sure to check back periodically. If we do make material changes, we will post a notice on our home page that the Online Privacy Policy has been modified and provide a link to the revised Online Privacy Policy. Any information that you submit after a change has been posted will be subject to the new provisions.
User Data We Collect
We collect two types of user data: (1) anonymous data that is automatically collected from all visitors to the ACLU Site; and (2) personally-identifiable data that you voluntarily submit to us (described below under "Personal Data").
Anonymous Data. We automatically track the number and frequency of hits per page on an aggregate basis.
Personal Data. We may collect Personal Data that you voluntarily provide, such as your name and postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and similar information, when you participate in certain activities on the ACLU-CO Site, including (but not limited to) when you:
- Join or renew your membership to the ACLU-CO;
- Make a contribution to support the ACLU-CO;
- Sign up for our ACLU-CO e-mail network; or
- Participate in any activity that requires your Personal Data.
- If you join the ACLU-CO or make a donation to the ACLU-CO from a Web site link, we may also identify the source of that link, so that we can evaluate what content is persuading Web users to contribute to the ACLU-CO.
Cookies
We collect some data through the use of cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred either to your computer's hard drive ("Long-term Cookies") or temporarily to your computer's Random Access Memory ("Session Cookies").
We use Long-term Cookies only when you select a "remember" option on the ACLU-CO Site, for example the "remember my login" option offered when you log on to the ACLU-CO Site. If you select these options, a Long-term Cookie will be stored on your computer's hard drive solely for the purpose of automatically filling in the remembered information, for example, automatically filling in your password when you log in to the ACLU-CO Site or your postal address when you write a letter to your representative. These "remember" options are offered only for your convenience and are completely voluntary. If you do not select a "remember" option, no Long-Term Cookie will be stored on your computer's hard drive.
How We Use The Data We Collect
We use anonymous data to identify the source of user traffic (for example, csu.edu, or aol.com), but we are not able to use this data to identify individual users. We use data on which sections of the ACLU-CO site are most visited, so that we can evaluate the popularity of our different Web pages and continue to improve the ACLU-CO Site. We do not link any anonymous data with the Personal Data you provide to us.
We use your Personal Data for various purposes:
- To fulfill the request for which you specifically provided the data;
- To send you our e-mail newsletter, or action alerts, if you have not opted out of receiving that information;
- To personalize the content that you see based on the activities and programs that you have selected on the ACLU-CO Site;
- To allow you to set and change user preferences;
- To allow you to renew your membership in the ACLU;
- To offer you other ways to support the ACLU-CO;
- To confirm your contribution to the ACLU-CO.
If you are a U.S. resident, we may also combine your Personal Data with data collected from third parties, such as congressional district maps, to improve our services to you.
Third-Party Sharing
We share your Personal Data with third-party service providers who fulfill your orders, contact you on our behalf, or facilitate some other aspect of the ACLU-CO Site activities, services or products. These service providers have access to your Personal Data solely for the purpose of providing these services to us on our behalf, and they are contractually prohibited from sharing your Personal Data with any other third parties.
If you are a U.S. resident and member/donor to the ACLU-CO, we also may share your Personal Data with our local chapters and groups in order to permit them to contact you regarding any local activities we think may interest you, if you have not opted out of receiving this information.
Finally, we may disclose and use Personal Data regardless of where you reside in special circumstances when it is necessary to enforce our User Agreement or this Online Privacy Policy, or when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires us to disclose your Personal Data to third parties.
Except as described in this Online Privacy Policy, we will not share your Personal Data with any third party unless we first notify you and offer you an appropriate choice to consent to such further use, for example, through an opt-out or opt-in request.

Children
We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13.
Security
The Personal Data we collect about you is stored on a secure, password-protected server. We use industry-standard encryption technologies with respect to the receipt and transfer of Personal Data you submit to us on the ACLU-CO Site and only authorized personnel have access to your information. Nevertheless, despite our best efforts, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
