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.
