Privacy Policy

Goldgar USA — Last updated: April 11, 2026

Overview

Goldgar USA ("we," "our," "us") is a community management company contracted by homeowner associations in South Florida. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how it is stored, and your rights as a resident. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly.

🔒 Driver's License & Identity Verification

We take special care with your government-issued identification. Here is exactly what happens when you submit your driver's license:

1
Secure Upload via Encrypted Connection
Your driver's license copy is transmitted directly to Goldgar USA over an encrypted connection. It is never stored in your browser or on the public website.
2
Stored in Private, Enterprise-Grade Secure Storage
Your file is kept in a private, access-controlled enterprise-grade storage location. It is not accessible via any public link, not connected to our website, and is protected with multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and encryption at rest and in transit. Only authorized Goldgar USA staff can open the file during address verification.
3
No Personal Info in the File Name
Your driver's license is saved under a randomly generated reference ID. Your name, email, and address are never included in the file name.
4
Used Only for Address Verification
A Goldgar USA staff member reviews your driver's license solely to verify that your registered address matches your community address. We do not use it for any other purpose.
✓
Permanently Deleted After Verification
Once our team completes the address review — whether the result is approved or a 60-day FS 322.19 compliance window is granted — your driver's license file is permanently deleted from our storage. We record the deletion date internally for audit purposes, but the file itself is gone. We do not keep copies.

Account Information We Collect

When you create a resident account, we collect:

  • Name and email address — used to identify your account and communicate with you
  • Phone number — used to contact you regarding your permit or account
  • Property address — the community address you are registering for; this is the primary identifier for your account
  • Community association — identifies which community HOA rules apply to your account

This information is stored in your Goldgar USA resident account and is protected by enterprise-grade security.

Vehicle Pass Information

Vehicle details linked to an active Vehicle Pass (make, model, year, color, license plate, permit number) are stored in your Goldgar USA resident account. This information is used to:

  • Issue and manage the physical parking permit that ships with your Vehicle Pass
  • Keep your vehicle registration on file while your Vehicle Pass is active
  • Process Guest Pass requests you approve on your account

Guest Parking Data

When you register a guest vehicle or approve a guest parking request, the guest's vehicle information (license plate, make, model) and the parking dates are stored in Goldgar USA's private, enterprise-grade secure storage for the duration of the stay. Expired guest records are archived internally and purged after 12 months.

Address Verification & FS 322.19

Florida Statute 322.19 is a state law that requires every Florida resident to notify the DMV of an address change and update their legal documents accordingly. FS 322.19 is an obligation the resident owes to the State of Florida — it does not grant any extension, permit, or special privilege.

If the address on your driver's license does not match your registered community address, we will still allow you to create your account and register your vehicle, but require you to come into compliance within a defined window:

  • Your account is activated so you can use resident services during the compliance window
  • You have 60 days from the day of registration to comply with FS 322.19 and upload proof of your updated driver's license
  • You will be notified by email of your compliance deadline and receive reminders as it approaches

If you do not come into compliance within the 60-day window, your account and any vehicle registrations may be denied without refund. A locked account not brought into compliance within 30 additional days will be permanently deleted. Re-entry requires re-registration and re-purchase — no exceptions.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Your data may be accessed by:

  • Goldgar USA staff — for account management, permit processing, and violation review
  • Authorized vendors — trusted enterprise-grade service providers that host our website, process payments, and store encrypted data on our behalf. These vendors are contractually bound to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes.
  • Legal authorities — if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of residents and our team

Your Rights

  • Access: Request a summary of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information through your dashboard or by contacting us
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data; records required by HOA obligations may be retained
  • Driver's license deletion confirmation: Contact us at any time to confirm your driver's license file has been permanently deleted
  • Opt out of marketing: Unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time using the link in any email we send
