We want you to understand what information we collect and how we use it. By visiting this web site, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use
We collect information in several ways on our website. Personal information is collected when you: sign up for membership, register for an event, contact us via e-mail through the contact form, sign up to receive newsletters or be put on an e-mail list, or post messages on the message board. The type of information collected includes: names, addresses, e-mail address, telephone number, and information on your preferences regarding membership. At times, e-mail and postal addresses are used to contact members in order to generate volunteer support for the HOA or to send surveys to collect data for improvements.
Cookies
Cookies are files stored on a user’s computer. They are correlated to the particular user but are not linked to any personally identifiable information. We use persistent cookies, which reside on the user’s computer for an extended period of time, and session cookies, which terminate once the user closes the web browser, to enable use of the Members Only sections of our site. The cookies are used to maintain log-in information. You can opt to decline cookies or delete them at your discretion. Web browser “help” files will provide proper instructions. If you choose not to accept cookies, you may not have access to the full benefits of the website. For example, you will not be able to access information in the Members Only section.
Log Files
Like most websites, our website uses log files. The log files include IP (Internet protocol) addresses, browser type, referring pages, and time/date stamp, but they are only used to determine overall demographic information about our visitors and are not linked to personally identifiable information. We use these statistics in order to provide better service and to improve the function and quality of the site for you and other users. We monitor aggregate data with web log tools.
Third Parties
We use outside sources for website hosting. The ISPs have access to information stored in our web databases and log files. The data is stored for display, as appropriate. The servers that store this information are in a secure environment provided by our hosting companies.
