CobblestoneFarmsHOA.com Privacy Policy – GDPR

We care about the privacy of our guests. We strive to use any information we collect from you in a sensible way.

By visiting our website, you accept this notice about how we gather and use information. We periodically may change this policy, so feel free to review our policy again in the future.

Public and Private Content

Portions of the website are public, meaning anyone on the internet may access them, in order to promote Cobblestone Farms as one of the best subdivisions to live in and entice future home buyers to live here.

Portions of the website are private and can only be accessed by Cobblestone Farms homeowners who are given login credentials. To be able to login, a resident’s email address must first be registered in our website by the community webmaster who then sends an invitation email to the resident to create a login password. To receive an invitation, use the Resident Registration form and the webmaster will then respond.

When a resident sells a home, we delete the home’s login credentials. When the new homeowner moves in, we invite them to use the Resident Registration Form to obtain website access, and we try to visit or contact new homeowners in person to welcome them to our neighborhood and tell them how to access this website. We do not delete articles previously published by former homeowners unless they request us to do so.

Information We Collect

No personal information is gathered about you by this website without your consent, such as when you as a resident complete a form on this website to publish an article, comment on an article, create an event, reserve the clubhouse, vote on a neighborhood survey, pay your annual dues, etc. The data collected by forms is stored on this website in order to display the articles, events and surveys and payments you make.

Like most websites, for all website visitors, we gather non-personal information such as the IP address, the type of browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.), your approximate geographic location, the pages you view, the time spent on the website, and what other website or search engine phrase referred you to the site.

Sharing of Personal Information

We do not share personal information such as your name, email, phone, or address with any third parties, other than those that Cobblestone Farms Community Association works with to serve Cobblestone Farms homes.

Protection of Information

Our website operates on very secure web infrastructure provided by one of the largest technology firms, Google, who operates our website on a Google Cloud server. Our website is secure using https:// so we use commercially reasonable standards to encrypt information using industry standard encryption software – Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). When you use our forms with an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Firefox, Chrome, or Microsoft Edge it protects the confidentiality of your personal information.

Cookies

We may store in your browser’s data a cookie, a small piece of info that helps us operate the website. There are two types: session cookies enhance your use of the website, and are deleted when you close your browser. Another type of cookies can remain, so we can know when you return to the website in the future, for instance, to recognize how often people use the website, etc.

Our cookies do not record any personal information about you, such as your name or email address. They are used to study in general how people use our website and provide anonymized tracking data to third party applications like Google Analytics. As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better. However, you may prefer to disable cookies on this site and on others.

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics (GA) which records data such as how often people visit our site, which pages they view, and another website that referred them to our site. We only use GA information to improve this site. GA collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, and not your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the info from GA with personally identifiable information. Google Analytics records a permanent cookie on your browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, but the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by GA about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use (as amended for government websites) and the Google Privacy Policy. You can stop GA from recognizing you by disabling cookies on your browser.

GA uses cookies to define user sessions, which collects data about how visitors use sites. GA uses only first-party cookies for data analysis. This means that the cookies are linked to one website domain, and GA only uses cookie data for statistical analysis about your activity on that specific website. According to Google, any data collected cannot be altered or retrieved by services from other domains.
