Effective Date: March 10, 2026 — Last Updated: March 21, 2026
Rezzly LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who use our HOA covenant violation documentation and management platform (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect your information when you access or use the Service.
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

It covers information collected through the Service’s web application, APIs, email communications, and any other interactions with the Company related to the Service.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked from or integrated with the Service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.

Removing or disabling geolocation data may reduce the evidentiary value of violation reports. We recommend consulting with your HOA’s legal counsel regarding photo evidence standards.
2.4 Information from Third Parties
We may receive information about you from third parties, including: identity verification services used to confirm account holder identity; payment processors providing transaction confirmations and fraud detection data; HOA board members or management companies who add you as a User; and publicly available property records used to verify property ownership or addresses.

10. Data Processing Roles
10.1 Company as Service Provider / Data Processor
When the Service processes personal data of residents, homeowners, or other individuals on behalf of a subscribing HOA or management company, the subscribing organization acts as the business (or data controller) and the Company acts as the service provider (or data processor). The subscribing organization determines the purposes and means of processing personal data and is responsible for ensuring that its use of the Service complies with applicable privacy laws, including providing any required notices to consumers and data subjects before submitting their personal information to the Service.
The Company will cooperate with subscribing organizations in fulfilling their obligations to data subjects, including by facilitating responses to access, correction, and deletion requests submitted by non-User data subjects (see Section 5.12). Where the Company receives a privacy request directly from a non-User data subject, we will notify the relevant subscribing organization and coordinate with them to process the request.
10.2 Company as Business / Data Controller
The Company acts as the business (or data controller) for information collected directly from Users for account management, billing, analytics, and Service improvement purposes.
10.3 Data Processing Agreement
Subscribing organizations that require a formal Data Processing Agreement (DPA) may request one by contacting us at legal@rezzly.co. Our standard DPA addresses sub-processor disclosures, data transfer safeguards, breach notification obligations, and audit rights.
11. Geolocation Data
We extract precise geolocation data from EXIF metadata embedded in photographs uploaded to the Service solely for the purpose of associating violation reports with specific properties. Geolocation data is stored separately from the photograph with restricted access and is treated as sensitive personal information under applicable state privacy laws.
We do not collect real-time or continuous geolocation data from your device. We do not use geolocation data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to violation documentation. Subscribing organizations may disable geolocation extraction through their organization settings. Users may also remove EXIF metadata from photographs before uploading by using their device’s privacy settings or a metadata removal tool.
12. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not intended for use by individuals under the age of eighteen (18). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete that information as promptly as possible. If you believe that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at legal@rezzly.co.
Photographs uploaded as part of violation reports may incidentally capture images of minors. Users must not upload photographs that prominently depict identifiable children. By using the Service, subscribing organizations agree to establish and enforce internal policies that prohibit the upload of photographs in which identifiable minors are a primary subject. If we become aware that a photograph prominently depicting an identifiable minor has been uploaded, we reserve the right to remove or require removal of the photograph. If you believe a photograph containing an image of your child has been uploaded to the Service, please contact us at legal@rezzly.co and we will promptly investigate and take appropriate action, including removal of the photograph if warranted.
13. Data Breach Notification
In the event of a data breach that compromises personal information, we will: notify affected Users and subscribing organizations without unreasonable delay, and in any event within the timeframes required by applicable state breach notification laws (which range from thirty to sixty days depending on the state); provide a description of the nature of the breach, the categories and approximate number of individuals affected, the likely consequences, and the measures taken to address the breach; and cooperate with subscribing organizations in their own breach notification obligations to affected data subjects.
We maintain an incident response plan and conduct periodic tabletop exercises to ensure preparedness for security incidents.
14. International Data Transfers
The Service is operated from and data is stored in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States.
15. Third-Party Links and Integrations
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or integrate with third-party services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with any personal information.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy on the Service and updating the “Last Updated” date. For material changes that substantively affect how we collect, use, or share your personal information, we will provide at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice via email to the address associated with your account. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
