Privacy Policy
Board members addressed some concerns about releasing information about property owners names, address, and e-mail address.

(Olson suggested that SVE should use an “OPT-IN” policy, as opposed to an “OPT-OUT policy for allowing property owners to determine if there email address, phone number and mailing address is shared with outside sources.
Wolf and other members input suggested the information would be disseminated (with some restrictions), unless the property owner would request not to release of information prior. Olson agreed to set up a privacy policy, with set guide lines for the Association.
