1. What is “personally
identifiable information?”
Personally
identifiable information is information that can be used to identify you as
a unique individual, such as your name; home, email or other address; telephone
number; birth date; credit card number; and similar personal information.
2. What
personally identifiable information do we collect about you through our online
services?
We
collect personally identifiable information about you in a number or different
ways through our online Services.
Your
association or its management company may give us personally identifiable
information about you to permit us to verify your identity as a person who
is entitled to register to use and to continue to use the Services we provide
to you and your association through your association’s management company.
When you register to use Services, we will ask for certain personally identifiable
information to confirm your identity as a person authorized to use the Services.
This information is required to be complete and accurate at the time it is
given, and to be updated so that it is at all times accurate and complete,
as a condition of your continued ability to use the Services.
Once
you have registered to use the Services, whenever you sign in to use the Services
your personal identity is known to us.
Other
personally identifiable information about you may be given to us by the association,
its management company, or you in order to render the Services. For example,
we may assist the association’s management company in compiling an electronic
database of members of the association, or posting an online directory of
members.
You
may give your credit card number to the association or its management company
through the Services in order to pay your association’s dues or assessments.
However, prior to its transmission to your association’s (or its management
company’s) bank, your credit card information is encrypted through the use
of secure server software and is then transmitted in this secure and encrypted
fashion. Your credit card information is not retained by us.
If
you send an email message, we will receive your email address and any other
personally identifiable information you may include in that message.
3. Our use of cookies:
what they are and how we use them?
A cookie is a small data file that a web server
sends to your web browser (your computer’s hard drive) so it can be later
read by the web server. We use cookies to help us identify you so that you
are able to use Services that are restricted to authorized users. We may also
use cookies for purposes such as tracking web site or Services use, length
and nature of use, number of members, traffic patterns and other business
purposes. We may do this in an anonymous fashion (in a manner that does not
attempt to personally identify the user); however, once you have registered
to use our service, you are no longer anonymous to us when you use our Services.
When
users or other visitors visit a web site that we manage, our web servers automatically
record certain information and retain it in the web servers’ logs. This information
may include your IP address, domain name, browser type, date and time of the
visit and similar information that is not normally considered “personally
identifiable information”.
4. Who
is collecting the information?
As
explained above, we collect personally identifiable information about you
in connection with the provision of our Services. Contractors that we engage
to provide some of the Services may also collect personally identifiable information
about you in connection with the performance of those Services. We require
those contractors to adhere to privacy policies no less stringent than our
Online Privacy Policy. Web sites that are linked to our site may also collect
personally identifiable information about you. We have no control over the
information gathering practices of those sites and they are not covered by
our Online Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of
any such third party.
In
the course of using the Services, you may provide personally identifiable
information to others. For example, you might post a message to a message
board or send an email to another member, your association or the association’s
management company, that may contain personally identifiable information.
We do not control the privacy practices or policies of any such person or
entity, and they are not covered by this Online Privacy Policy.
5. How
is the information used?
We
use your personally identifiable information that we collect through your
use of the Services to provide the Services, and to help us improve our Services.
We may share anonymous information, or information that is “aggregated,”
to better understand the users of our Services and enhance or improve our
Services, but we will do so only in a manner that does not personally identify
you.
6. Who
do we share the information with?
We
do not sell or rent your personally identifiable information in the normal
course of our business; however, if all or substantially all of our assets
are sold to a third party, your personally identifiable information will be
included in the assets transferred. We share your personally identifiable
information with your association and the association’s management company,
on whose behalf we are providing the Services. We also share the information
with third parties that may provide a portion of the Services. We do not allow
such third parties to use that information other than in connection with the
provisions of the Services. We may disclose personally identifiable information
to any third party if required to do so by law or regulation, or if we believe
in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to:
(a)
comply with legal process
(b) enforce
the Terms of Service
(c) respond
to claims that any content of any portion of the Services violated the rights
of third parties or
(d) protect
the rights, property, or personal safety of us, other Users or the public.
7. What
are your choices regarding the collection, use and distribution of your information?
If
we wish to collect, use or share your personally identifiable information
through our online Services in a way that is not provided in this Online Privacy
Policy, we will notify you and you will always have the option of not permitting
the collection, use or transfer. However, if such proposed collection, use
or transfer is a condition of our provision of any of the Services, your refusal
to grant permission may result in your inability to use all or a portion of
the Services.
By
modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies,
to be notified when a cookie is set or to reject all cookies. However, if
you choose to reject all cookies or if you enable other software that prevents
cookies from operating, you will be unable to use the Services.
8. How
you can correct inaccuracies in or update your information?
Personally
identifiable information about you may be contained in an online database
maintained in connection with provision of the Services. Your personally identifiable
information that is contained in any such database should be accessible by
you online, if you wish to correct any inaccuracies, as long as you are an
authorized User of the Services. Obviously, certain personally identifiable
information, such as the address of the “unit” that you own, cannot be changed
without verification by your association or its management company. We are
not responsible for information contained in such online databases.
We
may maintain our own separate databases in order to provide the Services,
to which you will not have online access. For example, we may maintain one
or more databases of members of an association who are entitled to become
and remain users of the Services. Such databases may contain information furnished
by the association, its management company and/or members, or otherwise collected
as set forth in this Online Privacy Policy. If you wish to ask us about the
personally identifiable information that we may have collected about you and
that is not available to you online, you should email us at support@nextnethosting.com.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with your request, and
to update and/or correct any personally identifiable information that is contained
within such databases.
9. What
security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration
of the information?
Access
to the Services, including to databases containing personally identifiable
information, is password protected. Any personal information that you have
posted in any portion of the Services (e.g. a message board) should be accessible
only by the association, the association’s management company, other members
and other authorized Users of the Services. It is the responsibility of each
User to protect the User’s password. Do not divulge it to anyone. Log off
your computer or close your browser window to ensure that others cannot access
your password.
We
use industry-standard software, hardware and other measures, to protect the
confidentiality, security and quality of information we collect, and to protect
it from unauthorized access or disclosure or accidental loss, alteration or
destruction. Due to the nature of the Internet and computer security, we cannot
warrant or guarantee that security will never be breached.
10. How
do we protect children’s privacy?
You must be 18 years of age or older to register to use the Services. We
do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children.
If such information is inadvertently or unknowingly collected, it is our policy
to destroy or delete it upon discovery.
