Privacy Policy

Colorado Veterans Action ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of our supporters, volunteers, and all individuals who interact with our organization. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you engage with our initiative to secure a full property tax exemption for 100% P&T Veterans, TDIU Veterans, and their surviving spouses in Colorado.

​

By interacting with Colorado Veterans Action, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect​

We collect information to support our advocacy efforts, communicate with you, and comply with legal obligations.

a. Personal Information​

This includes information that can identify you directly or indirectly:

• Contact Information: Name, address, email address, phone number.

• Demographic Information: Veteran status (100% P&T, TDIU), marital status (surviving spouse), and potentially military service details, solely for the purpose of verifying eligibility for the initiative and tailoring our outreach.

• Donation Information: Amount of contribution, date of contribution, and payment method details (though we typically use third-party processors for actual payment, we may record transaction details).

• Engagement Information: Records of your interactions with us, such as attending events, signing petitions, or responding to communications.

This includes data that does not directly identify you:

• Website Usage Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on our website, and referring URLs.

• Aggregated Data: Information that has been combined or summarized in a way that it no longer identifies individual persons.

​​

2. How We Collect Information

We collect information through various channels:

• Directly from You: When you sign up for our mailing list, volunteer, make a donation, sign a petition, attend an event, or communicate with us via email or phone.

• Automatically: When you visit our website, through technologies like cookies, web beacons, and analytics tools.

• From Third Parties: We may receive information from public sources or third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors, voter data providers) to help us with our advocacy and outreach efforts, always in compliance with applicable laws.

​

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Advocacy and Outreach: To inform you about our initiative, share updates, solicit support (e.g., petition signatures, calls to action), and engage you in our campaign.

• Communication: To respond to your inquiries, send newsletters, event invitations, and other relevant communications.

• Process Donations: To process your contributions, send acknowledgments, and manage donor records.

• Compliance with Campaign Finance Laws: To meet our legal obligations for financial disclosure as a Colorado single-issue committee, including reporting donor names, addresses, occupations, and employers for contributions over specified thresholds to the Colorado Secretary of State.

• Improve Our Operations: To analyze website usage, understand our audience, and improve the effectiveness of our campaigns and communications.

4. How We Share Information

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

This information becomes publicly accessible.

• Service Providers: With third-party vendors and service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, email delivery, payment processing, data analysis, and voter outreach. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

• Legal Requirements: When required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

• With Your Consent: We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

• Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

​

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and destruction. However, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
