Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page. (This applies only to purchasing items from our Bookstore.)
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via

If you are a resident of California and have an established business relationship with a company, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 may give you the right to request an Information-Sharing Disclosure that would include a list of all third parties who have received your personally identifiable information for direct marketing purposes in the past year. This disclosure would also list the types of personally identifiable information that were disclosed to these third parties. As an alternative to providing an Information-Sharing Disclosure, Section 1798.83(c)(2) allows a business to comply with the law by notifying its California customers of their right to prevent the disclosure of personally identifiable information and providing a cost-free means of exercising those rights. As a prerequisite to this alternative option, businesses must do at least one of the following: (1) publish and maintain a policy of not disclosing personal information of customers to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to that disclosure; or (2) publish and maintain a privacy policy of not disclosing the personal information of customers to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option that prevents that information from being disclosed to third parties for those purposes. As stated above, HOA Pulse generally does not share your personally identifiable information with third parties unless you opt-in to such disclosure by registering or signing up for one of our services. Additionally, HOA Pulse provides you with the ability to opt-out of sharing your personal information with third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, HOA Pulse qualifies for the alternative option and we have chosen to provide you with a cost-free means of exercising your opt-out right. As such, we are not required to provide you with an Information-Sharing Disclosure listing all of the third parties with whom we may have shared your personal information during the past year. To exercise your opt-out right, please follow the cost-free procedure described below.
Opt-Out Procedure
If you are a California resident and wish to exercise your right to opt-out from HOA Pulse sharing your personally identifiable information with third-parties for their direct marketing purposes, please request a California Customer Choice Notice and opt-out form by
