Privacy Policy
We're a small team building software for rental communities, property managers, and homeowner associations. This page explains what we collect, what we do with it, and the rights you have over it. We try to write it like a person, not a lawyer — and we'll keep updating it as we grow.
Who we are
Arbor Lane is operated by Cloudproper LLC, a Michigan limited liability company based in Holland, MI. References to "we," "us," and "Arbor Lane" throughout this policy mean Cloudproper LLC operating the Arbor Lane service.
What we collect
We collect what the product needs to run, and nothing else. From the resident side: your name, email, phone number (optional), the unit you're associated with, your ledger (charges and payments), tickets you file or comment on, forms you submit, signatures you give, and notifications we've sent you. From the operator side: the same plus organization metadata, your role and permissions, your billing email, and your payout banking details (account routing, last 4 — full numbers stay at Stripe). We also store one functional cookie for your session and one for tenant-scoped CSRF protection.
How we use it
We use your data to operate the service — to render your community's surfaces, route notifications, collect dues through Stripe, send transactional email, and let operators do their job. We use aggregated, non-identifying signals to make the product better. We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not run analytics that build a profile of you.
Legal basis for processing (GDPR)
If you're in the EU or UK, we process your personal data under one of these legal bases: contract performance (when we run the service you signed up for), legitimate interest (when we operate the platform securely and improve it), and consent (when you accept these terms at sign-up). You may withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account — see "Your rights" below.
Sub-processors
We rely on a small number of third parties to run the service: Cloudflare (compute, storage, networking), Stripe (billing and dues collection), SendGrid (transactional email), and Expo (mobile push). Each is a sub-processor under our agreement with you. We list them in detail, with their data processing addenda, at /legal/subprocessors. We'll give customers who subscribe at least 30 days' notice before adding a new sub-processor.
Data retention
We keep your data for as long as you have an active account. When you delete your account, most data is removed within 30 days (after a grace period that lets you restore the account). Two exceptions: electronic signatures are retained for seven years per our e-sign retention policy (a legal-evidence requirement), and audit logs are retained for seven years for security and compliance review. Backups roll off on a 30-day window.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you have the right to access your data, correct it, and delete it. We honor these for everyone.
Access your data
Download everything we have about you — user profile, memberships, ledger, tickets, notifications, form responses, signatures — as a single zip file. Go to Settings → Download your data. The zip is machine-readable JSON with a plain-English summary.
Correct your data
Edit your profile in Settings → Profile. For data only operators can change (membership, role, ledger entries), email your operator or legal@arborlane.app.
Delete your account
Go to Settings → Delete account. You'll get a confirmation email; once you confirm, your account enters a 30-day grace period during which you can still restore it. After 30 days we permanently remove your data, except e-signature records (legal evidence — retained seven years) and audit logs (retained seven years).
Take your data with you
The Download your data export is structured JSON — you can move it to another system. We don't offer direct migration to specific platforms today; tell us what you need and we'll consider it.
If you're in the EU or UK
You also have the right to restrict our processing of your data, the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. To exercise any of these, email legal@arborlane.app.
If you're in California
Under the CCPA you have the right to know what we collect (see "What we collect" above), the right to delete your data (see "Delete your account"), the right to opt out of "sale" of personal information (we don't sell personal information — there's nothing to opt out of), and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To exercise any of these, email legal@arborlane.app.
How we secure your data
We encrypt data in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest using Cloudflare D1 and R2 defaults. We isolate tenants at the data layer so one community can never see another. We log every state-changing administrative action. We're working toward SOC 2 Type II certification — see /legal/security for the current posture in detail.
Children's data
Arbor Lane is a B2B platform for HOAs and property managers. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has registered, email legal@arborlane.app and we'll delete the account.
International transfers
Arbor Lane runs on Cloudflare's US infrastructure. If you access the service from outside the US, your data is transferred to and processed in the United States. For EU and UK data subjects, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses to authorize the transfer. Email legal@arborlane.app for the SCC documentation if your procurement requires it.
How to reach us
For any privacy question — including data-subject-rights requests — email legal@arborlane.app. We aim to respond within seven business days. Our privacy contact is Michael McNees (Cloudproper LLC, Holland, MI).
Changes to this policy
When we make a material change to this policy — anything that affects what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, or your rights — we'll ask you to accept the new version the next time you sign in. Minor changes (typos, clarifications) don't require re-acceptance but bump the "Last updated" date below.
