This Privacy & Security Policy describes how the NAACP Colorado Springs Branch (Unit 4001B) handles information through cosnaacp.com.
This policy covers information collected or received through this branch website, its contact form, and branch-managed online communications. It does not govern the independent practices of the national NAACP, other NAACP units, or third-party platforms such as Zeffy, Groups.io, and social networks, which may publish their own privacy policies.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide: Our contact form requests your name, email address, subject, and message. If you subscribe to email announcements through Groups.io, register for events, join the branch, or donate through Zeffy, those services may request additional contact, registration, membership, or transaction details. The branch may also receive information you send by email or provide during branch activities. Please avoid including passwords, Social Security numbers, payment-card details, or other highly sensitive information in the contact form.
Information collected automatically: Our hosting and security services may process IP addresses, browser or device information, URLs requested, timestamps, and security or error logs. This WordPress website includes MonsterInsights, Jetpack, and AddToAny plugins; depending on their settings and use, these or other integrations may use cookies, similar identifiers, or connections to external services.
Children: Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. Children under 13 should not submit personal information through the website without appropriate parental involvement. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us.
2. How We Use and Share Information
We use information as needed to respond to inquiries, coordinate branch activities and communications, administer membership-related matters, support event registration and donations, maintain the website, help prevent abuse, and meet applicable organizational or legal obligations.
Information may be accessible to authorized branch officers, volunteers, and service providers involved in website hosting, email, forms, analytics, security, memberships, and events. Where appropriate, membership records may be shared with authorized national NAACP or state-conference personnel for organizational administration. We do not authorize the sale or disclosure of branch membership lists to outside marketers.
Membership, donations, and events: Membership and donation forms are embedded from or link to Zeffy. Zeffy and its payment providers process submissions and payments; the branch may receive the contact and transaction records needed to administer memberships, events, and donations. The branch mailing list and live calendar use Groups.io, which processes subscription and calendar interactions under its own terms. Please review these providers’ privacy notices.
3. Cookies, Analytics, and External Content
Cookies and similar technologies may support WordPress functions, sessions, security, and analytics. Embedded Zeffy forms and integrated analytics or sharing services may collect technical information or set cookies depending on their configuration. You can manage or delete cookies using your browser settings, although some site functions may be affected. Independent websites and platforms linked from this site control their own data practices.
4. Website Security and Safeguards
The website uses HTTPS and hosting and software controls intended to support security. We seek to limit administrative access to authorized personnel and maintain site software, but no online transmission, email service, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please do not submit passwords, full payment-card numbers, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive information through the contact form or ordinary email.
Payment security: The membership, event, and donation forms available on this site connect to Zeffy’s platform, including when an embedded form appears within a branch page. The branch website does not directly process payment-card numbers. Zeffy and its payment providers maintain their own payment-security practices; consult their notices for details.
To report a suspected website security problem, use the contact details below and provide only the information necessary to describe the issue. Do not include account passwords or payment-card information.
5. Integrity of NAACP Membership Lists
Branch membership information is for authorized NAACP organizational purposes. Unauthorized sale, copying, reproduction, distribution, or disclosure of membership lists to external marketers, telemarketers, or other unauthorized individuals is prohibited. See the national NAACP’s guidance on protecting the integrity of membership.
6. Access, Corrections, and Retention
You can contact the branch to ask about personal information you provided, request a correction, or request deletion. We may need to verify requests and retain information for legitimate membership administration, accounting, security, dispute resolution, or legal obligations. Retention depends on the record and the providers used. Requests concerning information held by Zeffy, Groups.io, or other independent providers may also need to be directed to those services. You can unsubscribe from Groups.io mail using its email or account controls.
