Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 9th 2026

1. Introduction and Scope

SymLiv, LLC (“SymLiv,” “We,” “Us,” “Our”) provides community access and management software to residential communities, homeowners associations, golf and resort properties, and similar venues. This Privacy Policy describes how We collect, use, disclose, and retain information about residents, community staff, guests, visitors, and other individuals.

Our role. For resident records, guest and visitor records, and access events, SymLiv acts as a controller (or “business,” under California law). We determine the purposes and means of processing this information, We set retention periods, and We respond directly to privacy rights requests. Requests may be submitted to Us directly; you do not need to go through your community.

Contact. Inquiries and requests may be sent to support@symliv.com.

  • Guest pass records — the pass issued, who issued it, its validity window, and its use
  • Community Reporting — Communities can the above data to produce internal reports through the use of the Service

This information is collected automatically when a vehicle passes an equipped entry point, including from individuals who have no Account and who have not submitted information to Us directly.

9.4 How to submit a request

Requests can be sent to: support@symliv.com

10. De-identified and Aggregated Information

“De-identified” means information from which We have removed or altered identifiers — both direct identifiers such as name, address, and date of birth, and indirect identifiers that could reasonably be used to single out an individual — so that it can no longer reasonably be linked to you. “Aggregated” means information combined across individuals so that no individual record remains.

We may use and disclose de-identified and aggregated information to operate, secure, evaluate, and improve the Services, and to produce analyses and reports about how the Services are used.

Where We use de-identified information, We: (i) maintain reasonable technical and organizational measures to prevent re-identification; (ii) publicly commit to maintain and use the information only in de-identified form and not to attempt to re-identify it, except as necessary to test Our de-identification methods; and (iii) contractually obligate any recipient of the information to comply with the same commitments.

11. International Transfers

Your information is processed at Our operating offices and in other places where the parties involved in processing are located, which may be outside your state, province, or country, where data protection laws may differ. We take steps reasonably necessary to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy.

12. Links to Other Websites

The Services may contain links to websites or services not owned or controlled by Us, including those of Our sponsors and partners. This Policy applies only to information collected by the Services. We have no control over third-party websites, and your use of them is subject to their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their privacy or business practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any linked site you visit.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the new Policy on this page, notify you by email and/or a prominent notice on the Services prior to the change taking effect, and update the “Last updated” date above. Changes are effective when posted.
