Information Collected & Stored Automatically

If you browse through the Authority’s website, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally.

We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:

• The Internet domain (for example, “xyzcompany.com.”) and IP (Internet Protocol) address;
• The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
• The date and time you access our site;
• The pages you visit; and
• If you linked to the Authority’s website from another website, the address of that website.

We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors, to learn about the number of visitors to our site, and the types of technology our visitors use. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits.

Sending Personal Information

You may choose to provide us with personal information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number or credit/debit card information, when filling out an online form or sending us an email message. We use that information in a number of ways. Your information helps us to respond to your message, helps us get the information you have requested, or complete any transactions that you have requested. The Authority may use your email to better understand how to market and improve our services to you. Your email address will not be sold or given away to any other entity. We treat email messages the same way we treat letters sent to us.

We only share the information you give us with another governmental agency if your inquiry relates to that agency, or as otherwise required by the Colorado Public Records Act or other law. We are required to maintain many documents, but we do not collect personal information on our website for any purpose other than to respond to you. Moreover, we do not create individual profiles with the information you provide or to give it to any private organizations.

Cookies

Sometimes we may use cookies when you visit our website. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. We use these cookies to answer questions like “How many unique browsers have visited our website?”

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Links to Other Sites

Our website may have links to other public and private sector entities. The Authority does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, privacy policy, product, or content of any other entity. You should carefully review their privacy statements and other conditions of use.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet anti-spam service. The information we collect depends on how the User sets up Akismet for the Site, but typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

Submissions of the information request form on our contact us page are emailed to our staff as well as logged in the WordPress admin area, including all submitted data. This information is also sent via Zapier to a Google Sheet document for use by our staff.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We may use certain third-party analytics providers, including Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the Service and enhance your experience when you use the Service. For more information on how Google uses this data, go to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
