The HOA recently shared their ButterflyMX Privacy Statement with us. You can download it from their email. We’re not lawyers, but reading through it, we have serious concerns. I hope we have a lawyer on this blog or in our community who can shed light on what we’re risking. If so, please come forward and share. Our quick reading exposes a few immediate concerns.
The app tracks our movements and those who visit us. They have the expressed right to turn information over to law enforcement.
since the app is web based, our information can be exposed to social media, e. g. Meta. It is suggested we have to opt out if we don’t want this exposure.
if the company is acquired or bankrupt, they can turn over our personal data.
we have no choice if we want access to our community other than through our RFID tags. I don’t know about you, but it appears we are being backed into a corner with no say and without being given a valid reason this is happening.
If anyone with more knowledge than us can shed some light on our rights and options, please come forward.
Thank you for standing up for our community. This is unacceptable!!!!!!!
I do not like this new butterfly thing. there is too much risk to our privacy and also our guests that come to visit. there are too many unanswered questions for this to happen. we never had a vote on this or shown any presentation on how this works. we are just supposed to go along with this with out more information?
Did our HOA attorney really sign off on this ButterflyMX contract with all of these privacy concerns? The Board hasn’t told us the full cost, hasn’t explained why it’s even needed, and now we’re being asked to accept a system that tracks our location and movements. That feels reckless.
Please call Vice President Rod Dewar at the number in the HOA email and tell him we want this gate project stopped and FirstService reinstated.
