Privacy Policy
By accessing or using this website, you consent to the following Privacy Policy.
The Colorado Academy of Family Physicians (“CAFP,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of its members, customers, website visitors, event participants, donors, and other individuals who interact with CAFP. CAFP maintains safeguards designed to store and secure information about its members and customers. These safeguards may be physical, electronic, or procedural.
This Privacy Policy describes how CAFP collects information from its website, www.coloradoafp.org, and through other voluntary interactions with CAFP, including but not limited to membership applications, event registrations, publication subscriptions, donations, product or service purchases, surveys, communications with CAFP staff, and other forms submitted through the website.
This Privacy Policy applies only to CAFP’s website and interactions with CAFP. It does not apply to websites, services, software, or organizations operated by unrelated third parties, including websites to which CAFP may provide links.
By visiting CAFP’s website, becoming a member or customer, registering for an event, making a donation, or otherwise voluntarily submitting information to CAFP, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
CAFP reserves the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. If changes are made, CAFP will update this page and revise the “Last updated” date at the bottom of this policy.
What Information Does CAFP Collect?
CAFP may collect two general types of information:
- Non-personally identifiable information from visitors who access the website; and
- Personally identifiable information from members, registered users, event participants, donors, customers, and individuals who voluntarily submit information through forms or other interactions with CAFP.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
For website administration, analytics, security, and troubleshooting purposes, CAFP may collect or log information such as originating Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, device information, referring pages, pages visited, time and date of visits, duration of sessions, and other similar usage or system data.
CAFP may use cookies, analytics tools, tracking pixels, or similar technologies to help operate the website, understand how visitors use the website, improve user experience, evaluate communications, and support marketing or outreach efforts.
Third-party websites, platforms, tools, or organizations linked from the CAFP website may use their own cookies, analytics tools, tracking technologies, or privacy practices. CAFP is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.
CAFP may review collected technical or usage information if a user’s activity is associated with attempted security violations, activity that degrades website performance, suspected misuse of the website, suspected copyright violations, or other activity that may violate CAFP policies or applicable law.
Personally Identifiable Information
In the course of using CAFP’s website or interacting with CAFP, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information, including but not limited to your name, mailing address, ZIP code, email address, telephone number, fax number, organization, professional information, membership status, event registration information, payment information, or other information you choose to submit.
CAFP may collect email addresses and other contact information provided by members, customers, donors, website users, and others in connection with website registrations, product purchases, membership activities, event registrations, surveys, downloads, email sign-ups, donations, and direct communications with CAFP.
Important Note for CAFP/AAFP Members
The American Academy of Family Physicians (“AAFP”) maintains a membership database. Information in this database may include National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers, demographic information, education, specialty, membership status, dues payment information, subscriptions, product orders, continuing medical education (“CME”) reporting, public database information, member surveys, and other correspondence between members, CAFP, AAFP, or related chapters and organizations.
For more information about AAFP’s privacy practices, please visit the AAFP Privacy Policy.
Payment and Credit Card Information
CAFP does not sell or rent credit card information. When members, customers, donors, or event participants make payments by credit card, payment information may be submitted securely to a payment processor or clearinghouse to complete the transaction.
If credit card information is stored, it is stored using appropriate security measures such as encryption or tokenization, as applicable. CAFP may use third-party payment processors and is not responsible for the independent privacy or security practices of those providers.
How Does CAFP Use Information Collected?
CAFP uses the information it collects to better serve members, customers, website visitors, donors, event participants, and the family medicine community.
CAFP may use collected information to:
- Process memberships, renewals, event registrations, purchases, donations, and other transactions;
- Provide member services and customer support;
- Communicate with members, customers, donors, event participants, and website users;
- Send newsletters, announcements, advocacy updates, event information, and other communications;
- Manage CME activities and reporting;
- Improve website functionality, content, user experience, and security;
- Analyze engagement with emails, website content, programs, and services;
- Support CAFP programs, events, advocacy, education, and member services;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce CAFP policies.
Disclosure to Third Parties
CAFP may share membership, demographic, CME, and/or contact information with organizations that help CAFP serve its members and fulfill its mission. These organizations may include AAFP, affiliated chapters, CAFP-related organizations, CAFP Foundation programs, advocacy-related entities, service providers, vendors, contractors, and other partners.
CAFP may make member contact information available through member directories, event materials, program listings, leadership directories, or other CAFP programs when permitted by the member, required for program participation, or otherwise appropriate in connection with CAFP activities.
CAFP may share CME activity participation records with AAFP or other appropriate organizations for CME reporting, tracking, or compliance purposes. Such records may include, but are not limited to, member name, AAFP membership number, activity name, activity date, and credits received.
CAFP may disclose limited personally identifiable information to outside service providers that help CAFP offer products, services, events, communications, and information. For example, CAFP may work with service providers to distribute emails, process payments, manage event registrations, provide technology services, assist with direct marketing, analyze data, detect and prevent fraud, or otherwise assist CAFP in serving members and customers.
CAFP requires service providers to use personal information only for the purposes designated by CAFP and to keep such information confidential, subject to applicable law and contractual obligations.
CAFP does not sell or rent the email addresses of its members or customers.
Marketing, Advertising, and Analytics
CAFP may use outside platforms, analytics providers, or marketing services to help place, monitor, measure, or improve advertisements, links, email campaigns, website content, and other communications.
These companies may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information about website usage or engagement. CAFP is not responsible for the collection or use of information by third-party websites or services outside CAFP’s control.
Emails
When you voluntarily provide an email address to CAFP, CAFP may use that email address to communicate with you about transactions, memberships, events, publications, programs, advocacy updates, announcements, surveys, services, and other information that may be of interest.
CAFP may collect data to track the effectiveness of email communications, such as opens, clicks, delivery status, unsubscribe requests, and similar engagement data. This helps CAFP improve communications and better serve its audiences.
As noted above, CAFP may share email addresses with outside service providers that assist CAFP in offering products, services, events, communications, and information. Such providers are expected to keep the information confidential and use it only for the purposes designated by CAFP.
Disclosure Required by Law or Emergency Circumstances
CAFP may release personal information to third parties when necessary to comply with legal requirements, court orders, subpoenas, law enforcement requests, regulatory obligations, or other legal processes.
CAFP may also disclose information when it believes disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of CAFP, its members, website users, staff, partners, or the public.
External Relationships and Third-Party Websites
CAFP may have relationships with other organizations that offer products, services, registrations, tools, resources, or information through links from the CAFP website or through third-party agreements.
When you interact with these organizations on their own websites or platforms, whether through links from the CAFP website, links in a CAFP email, or otherwise, different terms and privacy policies may apply.
Because CAFP does not control the collection or use of information by these third-party organizations, CAFP is not responsible for their privacy practices, security, content, or policies.
Opting Out
While CAFP hopes this Privacy Policy helps you understand how CAFP uses and protects your information, you may choose not to receive certain communications from CAFP.
Email Opt-Out
CAFP’s marketing emails and some informational emails may include a link for unsubscribing or updating preferences. You may use the unsubscribe link included in those emails to opt out of future marketing communications.
Please note that even after you unsubscribe from marketing or informational emails, you may still receive transactional or administrative emails, such as payment confirmations, event registration confirmations, membership notices, or other communications necessary to provide services you requested.
