Who we are
Effective date: July 25, 2019
Tanglewood Estates Residents (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the https://tanglewoodestates.org website (hereinafter referred to as the “Service”).
This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection,
use and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices
you have associated with that data.
Children’s Privacy
We require those who register to be at least 18 years old.
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
By acknowledging this privacy policy when you register on this site, you acknowledge that you are at least 18 years old.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Our website address is: https://tanglewoodestates.org. This policy was last updated July 25, 2019.
Registration
In order to use this website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the services on our site in which you have expressed interest. At your option, you may also provide your street, but it is not required. If provided, your address will be used ONLY to display your residence on a Google map on your public profile page. We will never use your address to send you mail or otherwise contact you at home.
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.
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.
Links
This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to review the privacy policy of any other site you visit.
Email
If you email us (whether or not you have registered on our site), we obviously will have your email address. We use your email only to respond to your emails to us or to provide feedback and information to you as a registered user. We will not send you ‘spam’ emails and you may opt out of receiving emails from us by deleting your account from our site.
Additionally, we maintain a group email list for our community. We may occasionally send emails to the group, which may expose your email address to other mail list members. You may unsubscribe from this list by opening your Profile page, checking the appropriate button at the bottom, entering your email address (twice), and clicking Send. Note that this email list is built so that only other members may send email to this address. Although, technically, non-registered guests (such as a community liaison with a public safety agency) may send email to this address, all non-registered guest emails will be reviewed for approval before being delivered to the group, to further protect you from unwanted email spam.
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 visit our login page, 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.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. 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 (i.e., a post), 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.
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 had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and/or 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.
Who we share your data with
We do not and will not share, rent, or sell your data to anyone1.
Ever.
Period.
1 Except as required by law and only in response to a court order to do so
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 you provide in your user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except you cannot change your username – you need to create a new account with the new username [assuming it is available] and then delete the other account). 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.
You may also delete your account at any time, at which point, all of your data will be irretrievably deleted from our site.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments will be checked through an automated spam detection service. Before posting any comments, it is recommended that you review the statement by the anti-spam service using their link at the bottom of the comment submission forms.
