In the event a transaction of this kind occurs that results in the transfer of PII to a purchaser of all or a portion of the assets or ownership interests of ACEC COLORADO, ACEC COLORADO will notify you via e-mail and/or place a prominent notice on the Site for thirty (30) days of any such change in ownership or control and the possibility of changes being made to this Privacy Policy.</p> <p><strong>Legal Action.</strong> ACEC COLORADO may disclose PII when legally required to do so in accordance with subpoenas, government requests or regulations, or legal proceedings. ACEC COLORADO may also disclose PII to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site or as is otherwise required to limit legal liability, protect or defend our rights, property, or interests, or protect the safety, rights, or property of other end users or customers.</p> <p>What About the Use of Cookies and Other Data Collection Techniques?</p> <p>ACEC COLORADO or its contractors may use cookies, web beacons, tags, log-in files, and/or other similar data collection or tracking techniques to enhance and/or monitor your experience while using our Site. Cookies and other related techniques are generally pieces of information, which ACEC COLORADO uses for record-keeping purposes and which the Site may transfer to us and/or your computer’s Web-browser for storage on our server(s) or your computer’s hard drive. Cookies and other related techniques enable ACEC COLORADO to manage and/or customize your experience on the Site, including available advertisements. Cookies and other related techniques also make Web-surfing or site review easier by automatically performing certain functions such as saving your personal preferences and by providing targeted content.</p> <p>Many consider the use of cookies and such identifiers to be an industry standard practice. Consequently, your Web browser is likely set to accept cookies or allow other identifiers. If you would prefer not to receive cookies or allow identifiers, however, you can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies or surf anonymously. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies or surf anonymously, you should understand that it is possible that some areas of our Site will not function properly when you view them.</p> <p>What About External or Third Party Web Sites?</p> <p>To the extent hyperlinks or gateways are utilized to access external or third party sites, you should be aware that these external or third party sites may collect PII and are not controlled by ACEC COLORADO and therefore, are not subject to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site and will not apply to (i) any other web sites or entities that ACEC COLORADO does not own or control, or (ii) persons that are not employees of ACEC COLORADO. ACEC COLORADO suggests that you check the privacy policies of other web sites to determine how the proprietors of these third party sites will utilize your PII.</p> <p>What About Security & Data Integrity?</p> <p>As is appropriate for the nature of PII collected and stored by ACEC COLORADO, the Site uses industry standard security measures or safeguards to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the PII under ACEC COLORADO’s control. With respect to any stored PII, ACEC COLORADO will also use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve such PII in its original form to the extent possible and as consistent with any processing that is directed by you or necessary for ACEC COLORADO to provide the Site or its related solutions, programs, or services. ACEC COLORADO has endeavored to create a secure and reliable Site. However, the confidentiality or integrity of any communication, data, or material transmitted via the Internet or stored with ACEC COLORADO cannot be guaranteed. Accordingly, you should consider carefully if you want to submit PII via the Internet.</p> <p>What About “Opting-Out” of Data Collection and Use?</p> <p>The collection, use, and sharing of your PII may be necessary for ACEC COLORADO to provide certain features, programs, events, resources and services made available on the Site, and to operate and/or improve the Site. For example, all users who register for an event, program or seminar, or purchase resources from ACEC COLORADO on the Site, will need to agree to ACEC COLORADO’s use and collection of PII. However, under other circumstances you can decide on your own if you wish to provide your PII or opt-out of doing so. For example, if ACEC COLORADO conducts a survey on the Site, you do not have to participate unless you agree to do so.</p> <p>ACEC COLORADO also provides you with the opportunity to opt-out of certain ACEC COLORADO business practices where your PII may be used. Specifically, users may opt-out of including the PII they provide to ACEC COLORADO in connection with the following activities: (i) inclusion in user postal mailings, (ii) e-mail communications sent by ACEC COLORADO, (iii) facsimile communications sent by ACEC COLORADO, and (iv) particular advertising arrangements.</p> <p><strong><em>California Residents:</em></strong> Companies that collect PII from California residents and disclose such information to third parties (including affiliated entities) for marketing purposes must, in response to a request by a consumer, either (1) provide a list detailing the categories of information shared and the entities to which such information was provided, or (2) provide a mechanism by which a consumer may opt-out of having his or her information shared with third parties. ACEC COLORADO has elected the second option, and you may request that your PII not be shared with third parties by sending your request, including your full name, email address and postal address, to Attn. Privacy, 1015 15th Street NW, Washington DC 20005. California residents are also entitled to know that they may file grievances and complaints with California Department of Consumer Affairs, 400 R Street, Suite 1080, Sacramento, CA 95814; or by phone at 916-445-1254 or 800-952-5210; or by email to <a href="mailto:dca@dca.ca.gov" data-feathr-click-track="true" data-feathr-link-aids="["618c4fd73a0d919de7146268"]"><strong><span style="display:inline;unicode-bidi:bidi-override;direction:rtl;" class="">vog.ac.acd<span style="display:none;">obfsctd-18bc84</span>@acd</span></strong></a>.</p> <p>Moreover, ACEC COLORADO may use certain methods and technologies to collect PII relating to your online activities over time (i.e., through more than one visit to the Site) and across third party websites or online services (i.e., through ACEC COLORADO’s receipt of PII from other data sources). Any user who wishes to opt-out of such PII collection may contact us by email, phone or mail per the contact information listed in the final paragraph of this Privacy Policy.</p> <p>What About Children?</p> <p>ACEC COLORADO cares about the safety of children on its Site and encourages parents and guardians to monitor their children’s use of the Internet. Although the Site is suitable for a general audience, the Site is intended for use only by users who are over 18 years of age. Accordingly, ACEC COLORADO does not knowingly solicit PII from children or send them requests for personal information. If you become aware that your child has provided PII to ACEC COLORADO, please contact ACEC COLORADO immediately so that such information can be deleted and ACEC COLORADO otherwise discontinues any further services provided to such child.</p> <p>What About Governing Law?</p> <p>This Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia, U.S.A. The Site and the servers that host the Site are located in the United States. Any information you provide will reside in the United States. By visiting and using the Site and submitting PII thereto, you therefore authorize this transfer of your PII to the United States. If any part of this Privacy Policy is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision or part will be deemed suspended by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision or part and the remainder of this Privacy Policy shall continue in full force and effect.</p> <p>What About Any Other Questions?</p> <p>If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or the PII collection and use practices of the Site, you can contact ACEC COLORADO at <a href="mailto:email@acec-co.org" data-feathr-click-track="true" data-feathr-link-aids="["618c4fd73a0d919de7146268"]"><span style="display:inline;unicode-bidi:bidi-override;direction:rtl;" class="">gro.oc-ceca<span style="display:none;">obfsctd-5ec6c6</span>@liame</span></a>, 303.832.2200 (phone), or at Attn.
