Information Collection

We collect and store information that you voluntarily provide to us, along with data related to your use of the Site and Services, as detailed below:

Personal Information

We collect Personal Information when you sign up as a member, make a donation, register for a Violence Free Colorado event or training, subscribe to our listservs, or contact us through our online forms. This information may include your name, address, email address, and other details that could identify you. Some Personal Information, such as email communications through the Site, will be stored on our servers located in the United States. Additionally, donation information, listserv email details, membership contact information, and event registration data may be stored on the servers of our third-party service providers.

ViolenceFreeColorado.org collects aggregated data on website visitor behavior but does not request or collect any personally identifiable information from users while they browse our site. We only receive personally identifiable information if you, the user, choose to provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly.

Violence Free Colorado collects aggregate information partly by recording “IP addresses.” When your computer connects to the internet, the network (such as your cable or DSL provider, phone company, employer, or school) assigns your computer an “internet protocol” number or “IP address.” We analyze IP addresses only in aggregate form, without linking them to individual users or their specific IP addresses.

Any Personal Information that you provide to us, even if it was not specifically requested (such as an email address), is kept in a secure environment, treated with the highest level of confidentiality, and is not shared with third parties except as described in this policy.

Information Use

Violence Free Colorado conducts statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics to gauge interest in and usage of various sections of the website. By “user behavior,” we refer to how users navigate from one page to another on ViolenceFreeColorado.org. For instance, if a user starts on the homepage, we analyze whether they continue to visit other pages and which pages they access, though this analysis is done only in aggregate form and not at the level of individual users.

By “user characteristics,” we mean non-identifying information that describes how users arrive at and navigate through the website (see “Information Collection” above).

Cookies

“Cookies” are small text files that a website can place on a user’s computer hard drive to remember pages visited during a particular browsing session or across multiple sessions. Typically, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside of the website they are visiting. ViolenceFreeColorado.org uses cookies to track user behavior on our website. Visitors who prefer not to have cookies placed on their computer can disable them through their browser settings*. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on ViolenceFreeColorado.org.

*Please note that cookies can be visible to anyone using the same computer. If you are concerned about cookies, you may choose to disable cookie storage, use privacy modes (such as “Private Browsing” in Firefox, “Incognito Mode” in Chrome, or “InPrivate” mode in Internet Explorer), manage cookies and browsing history after your session, or use a secure machine to access the site. Privacy controls vary by browser and can be found in the browser’s support materials and help content.
