1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
When you create an account, manage a condominium association, or use our Services, you may provide us with personal information including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, unit number, payment information, and any other information you choose to provide. Board members and property managers may also provide information about residents, units, vendors, and association finances.

We may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect this information.
Information from Third Parties
We may receive information about you from third-party services you connect to your account, such as payment processors, identity verification providers, and authentication services. We may also receive information from property managers or board members who add you to an association on our platform.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our Services, including to process payments, manage maintenance requests, facilitate communications between residents and management, generate financial reports, and administer association operations. We also use your information to communicate with you about your account, respond to your inquiries, send service-related notices, and provide customer support.
We may use your information to monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activity in connection with our Services, to detect and prevent fraud or other harmful activity, and to comply with legal obligations. We may also use your information to personalize your experience and to develop new features and services.
3. How We Share Your Information
We share your information with other members of your condominium association as necessary for the operation of the association. For example, board members and property managers may access resident contact information, payment records, and maintenance request history. Residents may see announcements, meeting minutes, and other association communications.
We share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, email delivery, data hosting, and customer support. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Common, our users, or others. We may also share information in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services. We also retain information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and support business operations. Association financial records and historical data may be retained for longer periods as required by applicable law or as requested by the association.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your personal information. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access to personal information is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
