Privacy Policy - Flemingdon Park Tenants Association

Who we are

This page is published by a tenant (and his friends!) in Flemingdon Park, ergo Don Mills, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We live near the old Ontario Science Centre site. For the purpose of start a new, on-the-ground, in person tenants association spanning multiple buildings in this area, our web address is https://fptaonline.com

That domain is an off-shoot of an experiment in community electronic memory hereabouts: https://25problems.com

Main privacy issues

We are not interested in tracking browsing users for any reason. If you browse the associated “Toronto Renters’ Forum” (dot com) the privacy policy is roughly the same eg. you may “register” by submitting a user name and a working e-mail address, or you may write to Box 771 Station “A” Toronto M5W 1G3. At this point in time we are NOT interested in recording the names and addresses of users or correspondents in any way shape or form. If perchance our activity in this virtual space results in successful in person meetings and the establishment of an actual tenant association, a priority for the new group will be to review this policy, ergo the group might well elect a “captain” or other leaders, and a secretary and these people may want to have a physical list of member’s names, addresses and contact information and this (and the cash box – for coffee money etc.) would be stored at some location to be determined. But that is well off in the future.

When visitors leave comments on this part of the site, the data shown in the comments form is collected, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This is to help with “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.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment in this (“WordPress” software) part of the site, 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 they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

The phpBB software that we use to host forums is roughly the same.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this part of site (and there really isn’t anyone in this category except the administrators) or you 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.
