Privacy Policy

The Province Community Association ("we," "us," "our") operates the community hub at provincehoa.org. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

• Account info. When you register, we store your handle, hashed password (we never see your plaintext password), and — if you provide one — your email address.
• Content you share. Messages, posts, comments, suggestions, and any images you upload.
• Light technical data. IP address, browser type, and timestamps — used for abuse prevention and operations. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.
• Cookies. A session cookie keeps you signed in. We do not set advertising cookies.

How we use it

• To run the service: authenticate you, deliver messages, render your profile.
• To keep the community safe: rate limiting, moderation, abuse investigation.
• To email you about your account: password resets and (with consent) room broadcast notifications.

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers.

Who can see what

• Public: social feed posts marked Public, committee updates, and your profile page (if registered).
• Friends only: social posts you choose to scope to friends.
• Hosts & admins: can see all posts/messages they moderate, plus audit logs of moderation actions.

Service providers we use

• Cloudflare — site hosting, DNS, DDoS protection.
• Fly.io — chat backend compute and storage.
• Cloudflare R2 — encrypted image storage (avatars, cover photos, post images).
• Resend — transactional email (password reset, verification).

Your choices

• Edit or delete your profile, posts, and comments from your account.
• Email [email protected] to request export or deletion of your data.
• Block users to hide their content from your view.

Children

Province Social is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has registered, please contact us and we will remove the account.

Changes to this policy

We will update the "Last updated" date when we change this policy. Material changes will be announced on the site.
