Service Delivery

For example, we process Personal Data to authenticate individual users, Nonprofit users, and their rights to access the Services, or as otherwise necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, provide you with the information, features, and Services you request, and create relevant documentation.

Internal Processing and Service Improvement

We may use any Personal Data we process through our Services as necessary in connection with our legitimate interests in improving the design of our Services, understanding how our Services are used or function, for customer service purposes, for internal research, technical or feature development,  to track use of our Services, quality assurance and debugging, audits, and similar purposes.

Security and Incident Detection

We may process Personal Data in connection with our legitimate interest in ensuring that our Services are secure, to identify and prevent crime, prevent fraud, verify or authenticate users, and ensure the safety of our users. Similarly, we process Personal Data on our Website as necessary to detect security incidents, protect against, and respond to malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity. We may analyze network traffic, device patterns, and characteristics, maintain and analyze logs and process similar Personal Data in connection with our information security activities.

Personalization

We may process certain Personal Data as necessary in connection with our legitimate interest in personalizing our Services. For example, we may display a list of Nonprofits to which you have previously donated when you are signed in to your User Account. We may also personalize based on Profiles, where permitted by law, e.g. by displaying your name and other appearance or display preferences, to display content that you have interacted with in the past, or to display content that we think may be of interest to you based on your interactions with our Services and other content. 

Aggregated Data

We may process Personal Data in order to identify trends, including to create aggregated and anonymized data about donor trends, use of our Services, and other similar information (“Aggregated Data”). Aggregated Data that does not contain Personal Data is not subject to this Policy.

Google Analytics

ColoradoGives.org uses Google Analytics which is a web analytics service offered by Google (https://www.google.com) that tracks and reports website traffic.   We use Google Analytics to allow us to determine information 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 Tag Manager, Google signals, and Google Advertising Features which enables Google Analytics to report and remarket across devices, which helps to enable targeted advertising.   It provides deeper insights on who is visiting the Website, and allowing us to better understand the demographics and interests of people visiting the Website, and to better target advertising to our users. Visitors can edit their inferred demographic categories for websites or opt-out of Google Analytics Advertising Features by visiting Google Analytics' currently available opt-outs for the web. You may learn more about Google Analytics security by visiting its website.

Compliance, Health, Safety, Public Interest

We may also process Personal Data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, such as where you exercise your rights under data protection law, for the establishment and defense of legal claims, where we must comply with requests from government or law enforcement officials, and as may be required to meet national security or law enforcement requirements or prevent illegal activity. We may also process data to protect the vital interests of individuals, or on certain public interest grounds, each to the extent required or permitted under applicable law. Please see the Disclosure/Sharing of Personal Data section for more information about how we disclose Personal Data in extraordinary circumstances.

Commercial/Fundraising Purposes

Personalized Marketing Communications

We may personalize Marketing Communications based on your interactions with our Services. If consent to consumer profiling or Targeted Advertising is required by law, we will seek your consent.

Targeted Advertising

In some jurisdictions, the Foundation and certain third parties operating on or through our Services, may engage in advertising targeted to your interests based on Personal Data that we or those third parties obtain from your activities across non-affiliated websites, applications, or services in order to predict your preferences or interests (“Targeted Advertising”). This form of advertising includes various parties and service providers, including third party data controllers, engaged in the processing of Personal Data in connection with advertising. These parties may be able to identify you across sites, devices, and over time.

The parties that control the processing of Personal Data for Targeted Advertising purposes may create or leverage information derived from Google Analytics as described above, as well as from our Personalization and Marketing Communications. In some cases, these parties may also develop and assess Personal Data about you to determine whether you are a type of person a company wants to advertise to, and determine whether and how ads you see are effective. These third parties may augment your profile with demographic and other Preference Data, and may track whether you view, interact with, or how often you have seen an ad, or whether you purchased advertised goods or services.

We generally use Targeted Advertising for the purpose of marketing our Services, and to send marketing and development communications, including by creating custom marketing audiences on third-party websites or social media platforms.
