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.
