We
are dedicated to protecting the privacy of your personal information, including
your Social Security or other governmental identification numbers. We have
adopted a privacy policy to help ensure that your information is kept
secure. We follow all federal and state laws regarding the
protection of your personal information.
How information is
collected. You
will be furnishing some of your personal information (such as your Social
Security or other governmental identification numbers) at the time you apply to
rent from us. This information will be on the rental application
form or other document that you provide to us or to an apartment locator
service, either on paper or electronically.
How and when information
is used. We may use this
information in the process of verifying statements made on your rental
application, such as your rental, credit and employment history. We
may use the information when reviewing any lease renewal. We may
also use it to assist us in obtaining payment from you for any money you may
owe us in the future.
How the information is
protected and who has access. In our company, only authorized persons have access to your Social
Security or other governmental identification number. We keep all
documents containing this information in a secure area, accessible only by
authorized persons. We limit access to electronic versions of the
information to authorized persons only.
How the information is
disposed of. After we no longer need
your Social Security or other governmental identification numbers, we will
store or destroy the information in a manner that ensures that no unauthorized
person will have access to it. Our disposal method may include
physical destruction or obliteration of paper documents or electronic files containing
such information.
Locator services. If you found us through a locator
service, please be aware that locator services are independent contractors and
are not our employees—even though they may initially process rental
applications and fill out lease forms. You should require any
locator services you use to furnish you their privacy policies, as well.
Thanks,
The
Management
