- Scope. This Privacy Policy
describes how we handle your personal information for our services
available on Your Apartment Guy and on other related sites, tools, applications,
or services. By accepting the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use in
registration, you expressly consent to our collection, storage, use and
disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy
Policy, including its transfer to and storage on our servers in the
United States.
- Collection. While you can use some
functions of YourApartmentGuy.com without being a registered user, certain
activities (such as viewing property contact information and advertising
a property) do require registration. Once you give us your personal
information, you are not anonymous to us. In most cases, the information
we hold about you is collected through YourApartmentGuy.com, but we may also
collect information from private-label, co-branded and affiliate
websites or their tools, applications or services ("Other Sites").
Depending on the services used, we may collect and store the following
personal information:
- contact information such as name, email address, address and telephone number;
- move-in date and demographic information such as gender, age, marital status, occupation, and other personal and lifestyle information (for example, if you respond to an optional survey request);
- financial information such as credit card or bank account numbers;
- additional information we may ask you to send or questions we may ask you to answer to verify your identity (such as your driver's license, credit card statement, and/or a recent utility bill or other information confirming your address);
- information contained in "eMail Notes and Photos" submissions;
- logs, contact information and other information about the
communications between Renters and Lessors using our communications
tools
- guest card information, lease terms, lease parties and other transactional information;
- information based on your interactions with YourApartmentGuy.com or the Other Sites and their advertising, such as search information, computer sign-on data, statistics on page views, traffic to, from and within YourApartmetnGuy.com or Other Sites, ad data, IP address and standard web log information; and
- supplemental information from third parties (for example, if you incur a debt to Your Apartment Guy, we may conduct a credit check by obtaining additional information about you from a credit bureau, as permitted by law).
We may also collect information about your computer or other access device to mitigate risk and for fraud prevention purposes.
- Use. Our primary purpose in
collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth,
efficient, and customized experience. We may use your personal
information to:
- Provide the services and customer support you request, including confirming emails related to the YourApartmentGuy.com services, reminders and transactions.
- Provide the ability to communicate with Renters and Lessors.
- Resolve disputes, collect fees and troubleshoot problems.
- Customize your experience and otherwise measure and improve Your Apartment Guy's services.
- Deliver targeted marketing, service updates, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences. (If we use your personal information to market to you, you will be able to opt-out of such uses; see Email Preferences and About Cookies below.)
- Compare information for accuracy and verify it with third parties.
- Measure consumer interest in our products and services.
- Help promote a safe service and detect and prevent error, fraud and other potentially prohibited or illegal activity.
- Enforce our agreements, terms, condition, and policies.
- Provide services as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.
- Disclosure. We don't sell or rent
your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes
without your explicit consent. We may share some or all of your personal
information:
- To help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and to guide decisions about their products, services and communications. Members of our corporate family will use this information to send you marketing communications only if you've requested their services.
- Law enforcement offices, third-party rights owners or others in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy; respond to claims that an advertisement, posting or other content violates the rights of a third party; or protect the rights, property or personal safety of our users or the general public.
- Other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information, or about whom you are explicitly notified and consent to when using a specific service. (The information we disclose in this way may be subject to those third parties' privacy policies.)
- Service providers under contract who help with our business operations (such as fraud investigations, bill collection, invoicing, affiliate and rewards programs and co-branded credit cards).
- Another business entity should we (or our assets) plan to merge with, or be acquired by that business entity. (Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information will be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
- Communications and Communication Tools. YourApartmentGuy.com communicates with users, and facilitates communications between users, in a variety of ways.
Lead Response. We make tools available
that facilitate communications between Renters and Lessors by phone or
email. When these tools are used, we may collect certain information
related to the communication, like contact logs, calling number, call
duration, contents of the email communication, and (when notified during
the call) call recordings. We may share this information with Lessors
so they can manage their communications with Renters, and we will use
this information to enforce our rights to collect fees payable by the
Lessors.
Send-to-a-Friend. If you use our Send-to-a-Friend or other email tools, we do not permanently store the email address you give us or use that email address for any marketing purpose. We do not rent or sell these email addresses.
Email preferences. We provide all users with the opportunity to opt out of receiving non-essential (promotional, marketing-related) communications from us after setting up an account.
- Third Parties. Except as
otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document
addresses only the use and disclosure of information we collect from
you. If you disclose your information to others, whether they are
Renters and Lessors or other sites throughout the Internet, different
rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you
disclose to them. Rent.com does not control the privacy policies of
third parties. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose
your personal information to others.
YourApartmentGuy.com has links to other websites that may collect personal
information about you. YourApartmentGuy.com is not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of those linked websites.
- Security. Your information is stored on our servers located in the United States. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use lots of tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from YourApartmentGuy.com. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.
