Legal: Data & Privacy
Our website address is: https://www.coloradostreetart.com
Colorado Street Art Company (“COSTARTCO”) is a Denver-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating vibrant Colorado communities through arts advocacy, empowerment, and inspiration. We operate the website located at coloradostreetart.com and are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors, donors, and community members.
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Data Collected in Comments
Name, email address, website URL (optional), comment text, IP address, and browser user agent string.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Recommendation
Before uploading photos, strip EXIF metadata using your phone’s export settings or a tool like ImageOptim or ExifTool to avoid inadvertently sharing location information.
