6. Privacy Controls

You control what other members see via the privacy toggles in your profile: phone, email, employment, and address. You may also hide yourself entirely from the directory. The Work Manager, Accountant, Board, and Super Admin have access as described in the Privacy Policy for administrative purposes.

7. Financial Contributions

9. Intellectual Property

The DHSACA name, logo, and the content of this portal are the property of the Association. You may not reproduce or redistribute them without written permission.

10. Suspension and Termination

DHSACA may suspend or terminate your account for violating these Terms, for non-payment of dues where required, or for any behaviour that harms other members or the Association. You may close your own account at any time by contacting the Work Manager.

11. Disclaimers

The portal is provided "as is" without warranty of uninterrupted availability. While we take security seriously, no internet-based service can be perfectly secure. To the maximum extent permitted by law, DHSACA is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of the portal.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the homepage and, where appropriate, by email. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
