OCAP® Principles
- We adhere to OCAP® principles, which stand for Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession. This framework ensures that your community's data is governed by your rules and remains under your control.
- Data Ownership: Your community owns the data collected and managed through Element Housing. We do not claim any ownership over it.
- Control: You have full control over who can access, manage, and use your data. Our software provides robust access controls, so you decide who gets to see or edit specific information.
- Access: Element Housing gives you the power to grant or restrict access to your data. This means you can allow different levels of access to various users, ensuring that sensitive information is only seen by those who need it.
- Possession: Your data is stored securely and can be accessed anytime you need it. You have the ability to download, export, and backup your data as you see fit.
- Clear Agreements: Our agreements and terms of service clearly state that your data belongs to you. We ensure transparency in our practices so you can trust that your data is safe and secure.
- Regular Reviews: We regularly review and update our policies to ensure they align with the latest best practices in data sovereignty and security.
