Privacy Policy

This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for the Colorado Solar and Storage Association.

COSSA is committed to your privacy. This statement explains what personally identifiable information we collect, how it’s used and shared, what choices you have in disclosing your information, security, and how you can correct inaccuracies.

Information Collection and Use

COSSA is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. COSSA collects information from our users at several different points on our website.

In using this website, a user may input information into the member area or upload resources to be shared with a broader audience on our website. During these processes a user may be required to give their contact information (such as email address). This information is used to contact users and verify the authenticity of the information submitted. COSSA will only use it when necessary. Basic information will only be shared with others in rare situations, for example with a top sponsor of an event to inform you about information that may be of interest to you. Users will have the option to join groups or email lists. It is optional for users to provide additional personal information.

Security

This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. This website does not collect sensitive information such as credit card numbers or social security numbers. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our organizational administrators and webmasters) are granted access to personally identifiable information. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to info@cossa.co.

Log Files and Sharing

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. We may share aggregated demographic information with other organizations. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. We use cookies to store your login information on your computer. You can access much of our site without cookies, but there are some areas such as profile submission or project information that require cookies. However, we do not use cookies to track your browsing history or match it with your identity for any purpose such as market research or advertising.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
