This Privacy Policy outlines the online information collection practices of Pizza With Purpose ("we," "us," or "our"), the organization behind the Colorado Pizza Festival, in connection with our website at coloradopizzafestival.com (the "Site").
This Policy explains what information we gather through the Site and how it is used. It does not apply to information collected offline. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Policy. We may update this Policy from time to time and will post any changes here with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted indicates your acceptance of the updated Policy.
How We Collect and Use Information
Information You Provide
We collect personal information you voluntarily submit through the Site — for example, when you purchase tickets, apply to be a vendor or nonprofit partner, sign up to volunteer, or subscribe to festival updates. This may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and, where applicable, payment details processed by our third-party ticketing and payment providers.
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and usage data. We use this information to improve the Site's functionality and to measure traffic. We may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and understand how the Site is used.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to operate the festival, fulfill ticket and vendor requests, respond to inquiries, send you festival news and offers, and customize features of the Site. We may share information with third-party service providers and partners — such as our ticketing platform, payment processors, email service, and form-handling tools — solely for operational or marketing purposes related to the festival. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting us at the address below.
Third-Party Services and Links
Some festival functions are handled by trusted third parties, including our ticketing provider (Tixr), payment processors, and form services. The Site may also contain links to external websites, including those of our pizzerias, vendors, sponsors, and nonprofit partners. These third parties maintain their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any site we do not operate.
Legal and Business Disclosures
We may disclose information when required to comply with applicable law, to enforce our agreements, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the festival, our attendees, or others. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of festival assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Analytics and Advertising Data
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site. These tools may use first- and third-party cookies to collect information about your behavior on the Site. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking through Google Ad Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. If we use social media advertising data, such as from Meta/Facebook, that data collection complies with the applicable platform's data use policies.
Children's Privacy
The Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The Colorado Pizza Festival is a family-friendly event, and children may attend with a parent or guardian, but the Site itself is directed to adults. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it.
How We Store Your Information
Your information is stored securely on servers managed on our behalf. Marketing emails we send include an unsubscribe link so you can opt out of future communications at any time.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date.
Governing Law
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. Any disputes arising under this Policy will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Boulder County, Colorado.
