The Colorado Springs Gazette respects the privacy of users on the Internet and has developed this privacy policy to protect user privacy on its Web sites. The purpose of this policy is to explain the types of information The Gazette obtains about the users of the The Best of the Springs site, how the information is obtained, how it is used, how it may be disclosed to others, and how users can restrict its use or disclosure.
Online privacy concerns focus on the protection of "personally identifiable" information which an individual or customer reasonable expects to be kept private. As the term suggests, "personally identifiable" information is information that can be associated with a specific individual or entity.
The only personally identifiable information The Gazette obtains about individual users through our web sites is information supplied voluntarily by the user. Users interacting with our sites may provide The Gazette with name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, domain name or URL or other personally identifiable information that The Gazette may use for its own business purposes. The Gazette will collect and use this information for the ability to provide and change service, to anticipate and resolve problems with your service, for billing purposes, or to create or inform you of products and services that better meet your needs.
The Gazette does collect some non-personally identifiable generic information about our users as a means of measuring the effectiveness of our web sites. The Gazette identifies certain user information in the normal course of operation, but such information does not reveal a user's personal identity. We collect this information only in the aggregate and use it to evaluate and improve our web sites. The following are examples of non-personally identifiable generic information:
IP Addresses: An IP address is a number that is assigned to a user's computer whenever that user is using the World Wide Web. Web site servers must be able to identify individual computers by their IP address. The Gazette collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration security and to report aggregate usage information. The Gazette does not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information.
Computer settings: Settings, technical and other information from your computer, such as your operating system, browser version, connectivity, various communication parameters and other information related to the operation and interaction of The Gazette web sites may be collected by The Gazette. Except as otherwise provided in this policy, The Gazette will use such information solely in order to provide technically appropriate formatting of information provided by The Gazette. The collection of this information will not include any personally identifiable information about you or any individual user.
Cookies are pieces of information that are used for record keeping purposes. Cookies allow The Gazette to save certain information about a user, such as individual preferences, in order to facilitate and enhance the user's future activity on The Gazette website. The Gazette will not use cookies to retrieve information from a user's computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. Except as otherwise provided in this policy, The Gazette shall not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes, and shall not share that information with any third parties for any reason. A user may refuse cookies by turning off that feature on their web browser.
The Gazette will not sell, trade, or disclose to third parties any personally identifiable information derived from registration for or use of a The Gazette service without the consent of the customer, except as required by subpoena, search warrant, or court order pursuant to applicable law, regulation or legal process or in the case of imminent physical harm to the customer or others.
Any user who does not wish to receive further contacts from The Gazette may write to 32 E Pikes Peak Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.
The Gazette will protect the confidentiality of its customer's personally identifiable information to the fullest extent possible and consistent with law and legitimate interests of The Gazette and its employees. To protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of such information, The Denver Gazette has appropriate physical, electronic and management procedures in place.
Any user who wishes to have specific data or all collected data about them deleted by The Gazette has the ability to request this by submitting a request directly via our website's Contact Us page, by submitting a request via Upland Second Street support at secondstreet-support@uplandsoftware.com, or by mailing a hard copy of the request to 32 E Pikes Peak Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903. Please note, however, that we may need to retain certain information for record keeping purposes, to complete transactions, or to comply with our legal obligations.
Any user may ask us to stop accessing, storing, using and otherwise processing information where they believe we don’t have the appropriate rights to do so. Consent that was given previously for a limited purpose may be withdrawn, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place at the time. Users can also opt out of our use of their information for marketing purposes by contacting us, as provided below, or by using the supplied unsubscribe link in any of our emails. When such requests are made, please allow time to investigate and facilitate your request.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this web site, you can contact us by writing to 32 E Pikes Peak Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.
The Gazette is not responsible for the content or the privacy practices of non-The Gazette web sites, including web sites reached through a link on a The Gazette web site. Other web sites may have different privacy policies, or no policy. Users should review the privacy policies of any web site before providing personal information.
Should The Gazette modify its practices regarding the collection and use of information obtained from users in the future, this privacy policy will be amended to reflect such modifications.
