Privacy Policy for Martins Chase Home Owners Association

 

Privacy Policy

This is how Martin’s Chase HOA (or its designate) runs and maintains this website and will handle information gathered about you from your visit to the website. The information received depends on what you do when you visit the website.

If you visit the website to browse, read or download information (e.g. Newsletter, Community Events, Documents):

The Martin’s Chase HOA website usage log may collect and store: the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com or princeton.edu); the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using; the browser software you use and your operating system; the date and time you access the site; the pages you visit, the mouse clicks including dead links and the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to this site. While the log automatically stores this information, this information is currently not used for any purpose or released to any third parties. It is possible that, in the future, this information could be used to present statistical data on usage of the site. However, no personal identifying information is collected, and any such use would be clearly outlined in this privacy policy.

If you choose to identify yourself by sending email or when using online forms:

The HOA (or its designate) will use your personally-identifying information only to fulfill your request for information or access to areas of the website. If you consent, we may enter the information you send into a database of residents, e.g., an online Martin’s Chase Residents Directory. However, inclusion in that online directory will require your specific consent. Martin’s Chase HOA (or its designate) will NOT sell, rent, exchange or release to third parties any personal-identifying information you submit via the website or in email to the board (or its designate).

About the security of the information you provide to us:

If you send an email to the Board (or its designate), you should know that email is not necessarily secure against interception. If your communication includes sensitive information that you prefer not to use in email, please contact the Board by postal mail or telephone rather than email. Our policy on children’s information (e.g., Swim Team photos, Meet Results, Events): It is the agreed policy of the HOA (or its designate) to provide the utmost protection of the privacy of Martin’s Chase’s children. Therefore, the website will never knowingly identify a minor child on the website. Photos posted of Martin’s Chase children will not bear captions specifically identifying any child.

In addition, any Newsletter articles or photos identifying Martin’s Chase children will be deleted from the online versions. This includes the babysitter listings, swim team photo captions or other identifying information.

If you have concerns about the privacy of Martin’s Chase children on the website, please contact the Webmaster (or the board).

General information: If you experience technical problems with the operation of this website, contact our Webmaster.

Browser Cookies:

A “cookie” is a small text file that a website can place on your computer’s hard drive in order, for example, to collect information about your activities on the site or to make it possible for you to use an online “shopping cart” to keep track of items you wish to purchase. The cookie transmits this information back to the website’s computer which, generally speaking, is the only computer that can read it. Most consumers do not know that “cookies” are being placed on their computers when they visit websites. If you want to know when this happens, or to prevent it from happening, you can set your browser to warn you when a website attempts to place a “cookie” on your computer.
