Welcome to CJI’s website ("website"). This Privacy Policy is shared on behalf of the Colorado Judicial Institute (“CJI”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), which is the controller and responsible for your Personally Identifiable Information.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to explain how CJI may collect, use, share, and safeguard information on this website as well as mobile websites, microsites, mobile applications, social media services, and any other digital services and platforms officially operated or used by CJI (collectively, “website”). By using this website, you accept this Privacy Policy.
- What Information Do We Collect? – When you visit our website you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis, and website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our website.
- Personal Information You Choose to Provide – We may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your email address, postal address, home or work telephone number, and other personal information for such purposes as correspondence, making a donation, registering for an event, or participating in online surveys. If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.
- Website Use Information – Similar to other websites, our website may utilize standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server logs to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and the websites visited just before and just after ours. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.
- How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us? – Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering our business activities, providing service and support, and making available other programs and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services, and special offers we think you will find valuable. The lists used to send you offers are developed and managed under our traditional standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of all personal information provided by our users. You may at any time to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers.
- What Are Cookies? – Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that website by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from web page to web page and complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
- How Do We Use Information Collected From Cookies? – We use website browser software tools such as cookies and web server logs to gather information about our website users' browsing activities, in order to improve our website and better serve our users. This information assists us to design and arrange our web pages in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our website to better meet the needs of our users and prospective users. Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to our website as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our website and evaluate our website's visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email address or any personally identifying information about you.
- Notice of New Services and Changes – Occasionally, we may use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services, and special offers we think you will find valuable. As a user of our website, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by clicking on a response box when you receive such an offer or by sending us an email request.
- How Do We Secure Information Transmissions? – When you send confidential personal information to us on our website, a secure server software which we have licensed encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our website. Email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such as Social Security, credit card, or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.
- How Do We Protect Your Information? – Information Security: We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction. Evaluation of Information Protection Practices: Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with organization policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality, and quality of our information. Employee Access, Training and Expectations: Our organization values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of user information. In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes, and transactions.
- How Can You Access and Correct Your Information? – You may request access to all your Personally Identifiable Information that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing us using the Contact Us form provided on our website.
- Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties? – We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales, website traffic patterns, and related website information to our affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information will not include personally identifying data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
- What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information? – We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.
- Applicability of the Colorado Privacy Act – The Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) went into effect July 1, 2023, and applies to entities, including nonprofits, that process the personal data of more than 100,000 individuals in any calendar year, or derive revenue or receive discounts on goods or services in exchange for the sale of personal data of 25,000 or more individuals. CPA does not legally apply to CJI because we are too small an organization; that said, CJI makes every reasonable effort to meet the spirit and letter of the CPA and in any case we do not share or sell personal data.
- Revisions to this Privacy Policy – CJI may evolve its programs, services, and operations, and this Privacy Policy may be modified as needed. In addition, CJI reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time, for any reason. The date of the last revision to the Privacy Policy will be indicated by the "Last updated" date at the bottom of this Privacy Policy page.
This Privacy Policy was last updated July 2, 2024.
