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.
