By accessing or using our website, you accept, without limitation or qualification, the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy was last updated on July 2022.
Information Collected By Our Website
We collect two types of information from users of our websites: personal information described below; and non-personal information such as information about user navigation and traffic patterns on our websites (which helps us evolve the site into being more user friendly and intuitive for our users).
Personal Information
To access certain portions of our websites, we require you to register and select a username and password. Some personal data is collected during the registration process. We may then ask for additional information, including personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information. When you register on our website, we may ask you for certain personal information such as your name, address or email address in order to process your registration. Providing personal information in these instances is solely your choice.
How We Use Your Personal Information
Your privacy and personal information is of the utmost concern to us. We do not sell, nor do we provide your information to any third party. We may use your information to communicate back to you or to update you on HOA community business. Our website also makes available to other registered users information provided by you during registration, such as your screen name. We also use your email address to provide you with emails of our e-newsletter if you have specifically subscribed to receive them. We will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such materials. You can remove your email address from our email list at any time by following the procedures set forth in the Opt Out Procedures section.
Discussions, Forums, Billboards, and Community Tools
Our websites may make chat rooms, forums, bulletin boards, news groups and other community tools available to registered users and/or visitors. Please remember that any information that is disclosed by our users in these areas becomes public information for other users to view and for the Tuscan Ridge HOA to use. Please do not disclose any personally identifiable information in these publicly accessible areas of our websites. Please be considerate and respectful of others while using any chat rooms, forums or message boards to share your opinion.
Non-Personal Data
In some cases, we may collect non-personal information. Examples of this type of information include the type of internet browser you are using, the operating system you are using, and the domain name of the website from which you arrived onto our website. We also monitor the movement of users throughout our site so that we can evolve our website into a more friendly, intuitive and easy to use environment.

Sharing of Your Information
The Tuscan Ridge HOA may share your personal information: (i) if the Tuscan Ridge HOA is required by law to do so, (ii) in the event of a transfer of ownership of the Tuscan Ridge HOA, merger or other similar transaction, or (iii) as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy. The following describes some of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed to third parties: We may employ other third parties to perform services or functions on our behalf in order to improve our websites, marketing and promotional efforts, communications or other services. Those third parties may include authorized contractors, consultants and other companies working with us (collectively, “agents”). They only have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, and they may not share any personal information with others or use it for any other purpose than providing or improving the Tuscan Ridge HOA’s services and offerings.
We may share certain non-personal, statistical information with third parties for advertising, promotional and other purposes. For example, we may work with third party advertising companies, to serve and track our ads. These third parties may serve other cookies. Our advertising partners may use the non-personal information they collect from our website, which in turn may be used to help us better market and serve our users.
This Privacy Policy applies only to the Tuscan Ridge HOA’s website and does not address the practices of third parties. You may visit other websites, through links on our websites, which may collect, use and share your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. The information practices of those linked websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we encourage you to be very cautious before you disclose your personal information to others.
The Tuscan Ridge HOA may be obligated to cooperate with various law enforcement inquiries. The Tuscan Ridge HOA reserves the right to disclose or transfer personal information and non-personal information about you and your activities on our website in order to comply with a legal requirement or request from law enforcement or other government officials, administrative agencies or third parties as we, in our sole discretion, determine necessary or appropriate for the administration of justice, or in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements or violations of any other law, rule or regulation, The Tuscan Ridge HOA’s community Terms and Conditions of Use or other rules or policies of our websites, the rights of third parties, or an investigation of any other activity that may expose us or you to legal liability, or to investigate any suspected conduct which the Tuscan Ridge HOA in its sole discretion deems improper.
