In this policy, we, HOA Maintenance Services, explain how we collect, process, and use personal information that we receive via our websites and emails we send. This policy applies only to the data we collect through our platforms, and not from third party channels or websites.
What Personal Data We Collect
1) Comments
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 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.
2) Media
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.
3) Contact forms
When you fill out our contact form, we may collect your personal information including your name, email, phone number, and address.
4) Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
5) Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
6) Analytics
Google Analytics is a tool that uses “cookies” to help us analyze how users interact and use our website and services. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website will be sent to and stored by Google servers in the United States of America. Google will then use the website data for the purpose of analyzing website activity . Google may also transfer this information to third parties according to the law. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. If you choose, you may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the decline option or the appropriate setting on your browser; however, as a result, this may affect the full functionality of the website. By using our website, you consent to Google processing your data.

Who We Share Your Data With
We will only disclose your information to third parties with your consent, to those who facilitate transaction payments, another organization if we buy or sell any business assets, government departments, or if we believe in good faith such disclosure is necessary to comply with the relevant laws, to enforce our cookies and privacy policy, or as permitted under applicable laws.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
How We Protect Your Data
We follow the industry standards on information security management to protect your private information. We also take the precautionary steps to prevent unauthorized access and unlawful processing of your data.
