Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2026

"I Have A Dream" Foundation of Boulder County (IHDF) is committed to protecting the privacy of our supporters, donors, volunteers, and website visitors. We do not sell, share, or trade your personal information with any other entity, nor do we send mailings or digital communications on behalf of other organizations.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information you provide directly to us, including:

  • Name, mailing address, email address, and phone number

  • Donation history and communication preferences

  • Information submitted through forms, surveys, applications, or event registrations

  • Payment information for donations (processed securely by third-party payment processors)

  • Opt-in/opt-out status for text messages and email

Our website may also collect non-identifying information automatically, such as IP address, device and browser type, page views, and site usage patterns, through cookies and analytics tools.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Process donations and send tax receipts

  • Deliver text messages, emails, and other communications you have consented to receive

  • Communicate program updates, volunteer opportunities, and event information

  • Express gratitude and, occasionally, invite further support

  • Respond to your inquiries and requests

  • Conduct research or analysis, in aggregate and non-identifiable form, to improve our website and programs

  • Comply with legal obligations and nonprofit regulations

3. Communication Preferences and Marketing

You can manage your communication preferences at any time. Our general emails, text messages, and marketing communications always include easy-to-use unsubscribe or opt-out instructions. Our online forms allow you to opt in or out of specific communication types. Essential donation-related notices, such as tax receipts, may still be sent even if you have opted out of other updates.

4. Text Message Communications (SMS)

Consent Required: We will only send you text messages if you have explicitly consented to receive them. By providing your phone number and opting in, you agree to receive text messages from IHDF.

Message Frequency and Content: You may receive up to 3 informational or marketing text messages per month about our news, events, or donation opportunities. Donations may be solicited via text message.

Opting Out: You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. You will receive a one-time confirmation message. To opt back in, reply START. You may also contact us directly at info@ihaveadreamboulder.org to manage your preferences.

Message and Data Rates: Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Support: For help or questions about text messages, reply HELP to any message or contact us at the information below.

Your cell phone number will never be sold, shared, or used by third parties for marketing purposes.
For more information, see our SMS Terms of Use.

5. Email and Social Media Audience Creation

We may use your email address to send you news and updates or, where applicable, to include you in custom audiences or look-alike targeting on social media platforms — solely for promoting IHDF's mission and programs. Your email will never be sold or shared with other organizations or outside advertisers. You may opt out of all communications or withdraw consent for this use at any time by contacting us.

6. Cookies and Website Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance site functionality and user experience, support secure logins, and analyze website usage. Cookies do not collect personally identifiable information, and you can control cookie settings in your browser. Aggregate website usage data may be shared for reporting or evaluation purposes, but this data is never linked to individuals.

7. Data Protection and Sharing

We will not share, trade, sell, or rent your personal information with outside parties, except:

  • As required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or government investigation

  • If a communication suggests possible harm to yourself or others

  • With secure third-party payment processors, as required to process donations, subject to strict confidentiality agreements

We do not share your information for marketing purposes unrelated to IHDF, lead generation, data broking, or third-party analytics unrelated to our own website performance.

8. Data Security

All donor and supporter data is stored securely and protected by physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel and trusted service providers required to keep this information confidential. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we remain committed to protecting your data.

9. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect and how we use it

  • Opt out of text messages, email, and other communications at any time

  • Review, update, or request correction of your information

  • Request removal of your information, subject to legal retention requirements

To exercise these rights or manage your communication preferences, contact us at info@ihaveadreamboulder.org or 303-444-3636.

Material changes will be communicated through our website or email, and we will update the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of our website and services following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
