We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to maintain your account in active standing, and to comply with applicable legal, accounting, and regulatory requirements.

Upon termination or deactivation of a user account, we will retain personal information for a period not to exceed seven (7) years for audit and legal compliance purposes, after which time it will be securely deleted or anonymized in accordance with our data retention schedule.

06

Security

OnlyHOA employs industry-standard and bank-grade technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including:

  • Encryption at Rest: Personally identifiable information (PII) fields are encrypted using AES-256 encryption with tenant-scoped encryption keys.
  • Password Security: User passwords are hashed using Argon2id, a memory-hard key derivation function, and are never stored in plaintext.
  • Access Controls: Role-based permission profiles enforce least-privilege access. All administrative access is logged via immutable audit trails.
  • Transport Security: All data in transit is protected by TLS 1.2 or higher.
  • Session Management: Authentication sessions are secured with anti-forgery tokens, IP logging, and configurable session timeouts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and disclaim liability for unauthorized access beyond our reasonable control.

10

Children's Privacy

The Platform is designed exclusively for use by adults in connection with the administration of residential homeowners associations. Access to the Platform requires an invitation issued by an authorized community administrator; the Platform does not permit open public registration. Accordingly, the Platform is not directed to, and does not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from, individuals under the age of thirteen (13).

In the course of community management operations, a community administrator may input contact information associated with a property whose legal owner or designated household contact is a minor. If you are a community administrator and are aware that a household contact or property owner of record is a minor under the age of thirteen (13), you must contact us at legal@onlyhoa.com prior to entering that individual's personal information into the Platform so that appropriate safeguards may be applied.

If OnlyHOA becomes aware that personal information has been collected from or entered on behalf of a child under the age of thirteen (13) without the implementation of appropriate safeguards or verifiable parental consent as required by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we will take prompt steps to delete or restrict access to such information.

If you believe we have inadvertently collected or retained personal information pertaining to a minor under the age of thirteen (13), please contact us immediately at legal@onlyhoa.com. We will investigate and respond to all such notices within a reasonable time.

The Platform's invitation-gated onboarding model is designed to limit access to verified adult community stakeholders. OnlyHOA does not knowingly facilitate the collection of personal data from minors and relies on community administrators to exercise due diligence regarding the personal information they enter on behalf of household contacts.
11

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated to registered users via email notification to the address associated with your account and/or via a prominent notice on the Platform prior to the changes becoming effective.

Your continued use of the Platform following the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision.
