Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 3, 2023
When you participate in a fundraiser or event, a contest, make a donation, or complete one of our webforms, you are choosing to trust us with some of your personal information. We appreciate your trust, and we will work hard to continue to deserve it. This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") describes how Kroenke Sports Charities and its current and future parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, including Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, LLC and all related and affiliated entities (collectively "KSC," "we," "us," or "our"), may collect, use, and share your personal information, and the choices you have with respect to your personal information, in connection with the platform (the "Platform"), which is available through our websites that link to this Privacy Policy (each, a "Site"). The Platform provides individual end users ("Users") with the ability to access material, information, and content (collectively, "Content"), and our related services, programs, social media pages, and email and other electronic communications (collectively, "Services") (the Content and Services are incorporated into the Platform for purposes of this Privacy Policy).
Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, LLC is the owner and/or operator of Ball Arena, Paramount Theatre, and Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the NBA's Denver Nuggets, NHL's Colorado Avalanche, NLL's Colorado Mammoth, and MLS's Colorado Rapids. KSC partners with these related venues and teams to provide or support, directly and with other nonprofit organizations, charitable events, programs, and fundraising efforts. This Privacy Policy, however, only governs the collection, use, and sharing of information by KSC in connection with the Platform.
KSC reserves the right, at any time, to modify this Privacy Policy. If we modify how we collect, use, or share personal information, we will post the updated Privacy Policy on this page. In some cases, we may notify you about an update by sending you an email, posting a notice about the update on the Platform, or other means as may be required by applicable law. In all cases, your continued use of the Platform following posting or other notification of changes constitutes your acknowledgement of such changes. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically to keep up to date on our most current policies and practices.
This Privacy Policy covers the following topics:

We also collect personal information about the interaction of your browsers and devices with our Platform, including IP address, crash reports, system activity, and general location information such as city, state, or geographic area.

Sources of Personal Information. We obtain personal information from a variety of sources, including the following sources:
- Personal Information You Provide. KSC collects personal information when you voluntarily submit it to us, such as when you fill out a form on the Site, participate in a sweepstakes or auction, or communicate with us.
- Personal Information Automatically Collected. KSC and our service providers may automatically log information about you, your computer, or mobile device, and your activity over time on our Platform, such as the online activity information and device information listed above. Like many online services, we use cookies and similar technologies to facilitate some of the automatic data collection described above, which may include the following:
- Cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor's device to uniquely identify the visitor's browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, helping us understand user activity and patterns, and facilitating online advertising.
- Flash cookies, or locally-stored objects, which are used on websites for purposes similar to cookies but allow storage of a larger amount of data.
- Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are typically used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked, typically to compile statistics about usage of websites and the success of marketing campaigns.
- Local storage, which is used to save data on a visitor's device. We may use data from local storage to, for example, turn on web navigation, store multimedia preferences, customize what we show you based on your past interactions with our Platform, and remember your preferences.
- Session replay technologies, which are third-party software used to record a video replay of Users' interactions with the Site. The video replay may include Users' clicks, mouse movements, scrolls, mobile app touches, typing, and other activity taken during the session. We may use these replays for research and development purposes, such as to help us troubleshoot problems with the Site, understand how Users interact with and use the Site, and identify areas for improvement.
Personal Information Obtained from Third Parties. In some circumstances, we may collect personal information about you from third party or publicly available sources, such as our service providers, data analytics partners, operating systems and platforms, social media platforms, or event sponsors. We may merge or combine such personal information with the personal information we collect from you directly or automatically.
Referrals. Users of our Platform may have the opportunity to refer to us colleagues, friends, or other contacts and share their contact information and other personal information. Please do not provide us with someone's personal information unless you have their permission to do so.
HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
KSC's primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide the Content and Services and to operate our organization. We also use personal information for the purposes set forth below and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection.
To Provide the Platform. We may use personal information to operate our organization. For example, we use personal information to:
- process your donation;
- improve and personalize your experience on or with the Platform;
- verify your identity for authentication and security purposes, or determine your eligibility to receive donations;
- communicate with you, including responding to any of your requests, feedback, or questions;
- provide any contests, surveys, sweepstakes, auctions, or other programs you participate in;
- provide maintenance and support; and
- fulfill any other purpose for which you provide personal information.
Research and Development. We use personal information for research and development purposes, including to study and improve the features and functionality of our Platform, manage our organization, understand and analyze the usage trends and preferences of our Users, and develop and improve our Content and Services. As part of these activities, we may create aggregated, de-identified, or other anonymous data from personal information we collect. We make personal information into anonymous or de-identified data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you or your device, whether directly or indirectly. We will maintain and use any de-identified data without attempting to reidentify the data. We may use this anonymous or de-identified data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes.
Direct Marketing. We may send you KSC-related or other direct marketing communications as permitted by law, including materials, updates, information, special offers, and promotional material from us and our partners. You may opt-out of our marketing communications as described in the "YOUR CHOICES" section below.
To Comply with Laws and Regulations. We will use personal information as we believe necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities.
For Compliance, Fraud Prevention, and Safety. We may use personal information and disclose it to law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties as we believe necessary or appropriate to: (a) maintain the safety, security, and integrity of the Platform and our organization, databases, and other technology assets; (b) protect our, your, or others' rights, privacy, safety or property (including by making and defending legal claims); (c) audit our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements and internal policies; (d) enforce the terms and conditions that govern the Platform; and (e) prevent, identify, investigate, and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity, including cyberattacks and identity theft.
With Your Consent. We will disclose your personal information in accordance with your prior direction or, in some cases, we may specifically ask you for your consent to collect, use, or share your personal information, such as when required by law.
HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may win a contest/auction or may be the recipient of a donation that we may publicly post, and we may identify you by displaying information such as your name or your organization's name.
