Your Colorado Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to confirm and access personal data we process about you; correct inaccuracies; delete personal data concerning you; and obtain portable data when exercising access, as provided by C.R.S. § 6-1-1306(1). You may also opt out of processing for targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and profiling in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.

Submit a request: [WORKING WEB FORM, EMAIL, PHONE, OR OTHER METHODS]. [EXPLAIN EACH METHOD AND HOW YOU AUTHENTICATE THE REQUEST.] You do not need to create a new account to exercise these rights; if you already have an account, we may require its use as permitted by § 6-1-1306(1).

Opt out: [CLEAR, CONSPICUOUS, WORKING METHOD OR LINK FOR EACH ACTUAL SALE OR TARGETED-ADVERTISING PRACTICE, ALSO PLACED OUTSIDE THIS NOTICE AS REQUIRED BY § 6-1-1306(1)(a)(III)]. An authorized agent may submit an opt-out request for you through [METHOD]; we may verify your identity and the agent's authority with commercially reasonable effort. If we sell personal data or use it for targeted advertising, we process qualifying user-selected universal opt-out mechanisms under § 6-1-1306(1)(a)(IV)(B) using [EXPLAIN CURRENT METHOD].

We respond to rights requests without undue delay and within 45 days after receipt. When reasonably necessary, we may extend that period by another 45 days and will tell you why within the initial 45 days. If we deny a request, we will give our reasons and appeal instructions within the statutory period. See § 6-1-1306(2).

Appeal a denial: [WORKING APPEAL METHOD, AS EASY TO USE AS THE REQUEST METHOD]. We respond within 45 days of receiving an appeal; where reasonably necessary, we may extend by up to 60 additional days and tell you why within the first 45 days. If you have concerns about our appeal result, you may contact the Colorado Attorney General. See § 6-1-1306(3).

We will update this notice when our processing practices or applicable requirements change and show the current last-updated date above. We will notify you of material changes through [STATE THE CHANNEL OR CHANNELS WE REGULARLY USE TO INTERACT WITH CONSUMERS, SUCH AS ACCOUNT EMAIL OR IN-SERVICE NOTICE]. If a material change would use data collected before the change for a secondary purpose, we will obtain the consent required by Colorado law before that use. Contact [PRIVACY CONTACT] with questions about this notice or a rights request.

Compliance documents are what regulated businesses use to prove they follow the rules that apply to their industry, whether that is privacy, anti-money-laundering, consumer protection, or sector-specific requirements. Regulators look for consistent policies, up-to-date records, and clear evidence of employee training. The cost of getting compliance paperwork right is almost always smaller than the cost of an enforcement action, fine, or public disclosure.
