Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how The Arc of Adams County collects, uses, and protects the information you share when you visit arcadams.org or use our online services. We want to be clear about what we do with your information — and what we don’t do.
If you have questions at any point, reach out to us at thouston@arcadams.org.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways, depending on how you interact with our website.
Information you provide directly
When you fill out a contact form, submit a request for services, register for an event, sign up for our newsletter, or make a donation, we collect the information you provide. This may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any other details you choose to share.
Information collected automatically
When you visit arcadams.org, basic data is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies. This includes things like your browser type, device type, pages visited, and how long you spent on each page. We use this information to understand how people use our site and to improve it.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
• Process donations and event registrations
• Send your newsletters and updates if you have signed up to receive them
• Improve the content and usability of our website
• Fulfill requests for advocacy services and support
• Meet our legal and operational obligations
We will never sell your personal information. We don’t trade it, rent it, or share it with advertisers.
Third-Party Services
To run our website and programs effectively, we work with a small number of trusted third-party service providers. Each has its own privacy policy. Here’s what we use and why.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website — which pages are most visited, how people find us, and how we can improve the experience. Google Analytics collects data anonymously and in aggregate. Learn more at policies.google.com/privacy.
Mailchimp
We use Mailchimp to manage and send our email newsletter, Advocacy in Action. If you sign up to receive our newsletter, your name and email address are stored in Mailchimp. Learn more at mailchimp.com/legal/privacy.
Bloomerang
We use Bloomerang as our donor management system. Information shared through donation forms or service requests may be stored in Bloomerang. Learn more at bloomerang.com/privacy.
Square
We use Square to process online and in-person payments. When you make a donation or purchase through our site, your payment information is handled directly by Square. We do not store your payment card details. Learn more at squareup.com/us/en/legal/general/privacy.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and track usage. We use them for basic site functionality and through Google Analytics. We don’t use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Keep in mind that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of our site function.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. Our request for services form is intended to be completed by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of a child.
If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, please contact us at thouston@arcadams.org. We will take prompt steps to remove that information.
Your Rights Under the Colorado Privacy Act
If you are a Colorado resident, the Colorado Privacy Act gives you certain rights regarding your personal data. You have the right to:
• Know what personal data we have collected about you
• Access a copy of your personal data
• Correct inaccurate personal data
• Request that we delete your personal data
• Opt out of any sale of personal data (we do not sell personal data)
To exercise any of these rights, contact Tessa Houston at thouston@arcadams.org. We will respond to your request within 45 days. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before we can fulfill a request.
How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us. Our website uses secure connections (HTTPS), and we work only with reputable third-party providers who maintain their own security practices. No system is completely foolproof, but your privacy is something we take seriously.
Links to Other Websites
Our website may include links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to check back occasionally.
