1. Scope of This Privacy Policy

 

We know that you care how information about you is used and shared and we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy sets forth our policy with respect to the gathering, use and dissemination of information we obtain from you in connection with your submission of a lease application through Progress Residential, through our website at www.RentProgress.com (the “Website”), and in the course of any rental relationship into which you may enter with us.

 

As used in this Privacy Policy and in addition to the other terms defined in this Privacy Policy, the following terms have the indicated meanings:

 

“Affiliate” means an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with us;

 

“User” means a person who (i) accesses the Website for any reason, including, but not limited to, posting to any interactive forum or bulletin board that Progress Residential may make available on the Website, registering for email communications, and submitting a survey response, question or request to the Website using a form or the email address links on the Website, (ii) fills out a lease application, (iii) maintains an account with, or (iv) is a tenant at one of our properties;

This Privacy Policy applies to Progress Residential websites and apps, if any, but does not apply to websites or apps of our affiliated entities or any other third party. If you click on a link to a third party site, you will be taken to websites we do not control. This policy does not apply to the privacy practices of those websites.  Read the privacy policy of other websites carefully.  We are not responsible for these third party sites. 

 

2. What Information We Collect and How We Use User Information

 

A. Registration Information and Other Information You Provide To Us

 

In order to use certain features of the Website, you may first be required to register and submit to Progress Residential contact information and certain other information about you (collectively, “Registration Information”). You also may choose to send us a question through our Website or via e-mail.  We may use the Registration Information and other contact information for our internal purposes and to communicate to you: (i) in relation to any and all agreements or applications you have pending or existing with us; (ii) new and modified services offered by Progress Residential and other businesses; (iii) special offers made available by Progress Residential and other affiliates; and (iv) other commercial information that we believe will interest you.   We also may share your Registration Information and contact details with our affiliates for their analytical purposes and so that they can contact you about products or services which they believe you will find of interest.  At any time, you may opt out of email marketing communications from us or from our affiliates by electing the “unsubscribe” option in the email or, for communications from us, by contacting us as set out below. Tenants who opt out of marketing communications will continue to receive communications regarding their relationship with us even after such opt-out.

 

B. Tracking Information

 

When you access the Website, we capture, record and retain general data about your use of the Website including, without limitation, your domain name, your Internet protocol (IP) address, the name and location of the web page from which you entered the Website, the locations you visit within the Website and the amount of time you spend on each page of the Website (collectively, “Tracking Information”). We use Tracking Information to help administer, update and enhance the Website.  

 

C. Application Information

 

When you submit a lease application to us or our service provider, we may use the information you provide in that application (“Application Information”) and share it with our affiliates for any purpose, including to offer you other goods and services.  

 

D. Consumer Report Information and Right To Opt-Out

 

When you submit a lease application to us or our service provider, you authorize us or our service provider to obtain credit and other background screening information about you from third parties (“Consumer Report Information”) as permitted by law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act. We may collect Consumer Report Information regarding Users who have lease agreements with us at any time during their lease if necessary for a legitimate business need (for example, considering lease renewal or if there are late or missed payments). We use that information to evaluate your application and use and share it with our affiliates for marketing and other business purposes, including to offer you goods and services.  You may opt out of having us share your Consumer Report Information with our affiliates at any time by contacting us as set out below.

 

E. Relationship Information

 

If you become a tenant at one of our properties, we will collect information about you, including your rental payment amount and history, our experiences with you as a tenant and the like (collectively, “Relationship Information”).

This information also may include the browser name, the type of computer, and technical information about Users’ means of connection to our Website, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information. We use Cookies to enhance the operation of our Website and to identify Users on the Website so that we can provide you more customized information and services. At your discretion, you may configure your Web browser not to accept cookies from our Website. However, if you do not accept cookies from our Website, you may lose access to the Website or experience decreased Website performance.

 

G. Information of Minors Under Thirteen Years of Age

 

We do not knowingly collect personally identifying information from children under thirteen. If you are a parent or legal guardian and think your child under thirteen has given us information, you can contact us at the address set out below to request that the information be deleted. Please mark your inquiries "COPPA Information Request." 

 

H. Anonymized or Aggregated Data

 

In addition to any other uses described in this Privacy Policy, you agree that we may extract and process User Information for the purpose of creating anonymized or aggregated data.  Such data shall not be personally identifying.  We may use and disclose such data – which shall not be considered User Information – to any third party and for any purpose.  We will preclude, via contractual or technical means, any recipient from re-identifying the information provided.

 

I. Sharing Personal Information With Non-Affiliated Third Parties

 

We do not sell, trade, or rent User Information to non-affiliated third parties, but do disclose User Information to non-affiliated third parties that provide services to us, to fulfill a transaction you have requested or with your consent, in each case only for the purposes provided or disclosed.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, we also may disclose User Information as may be required by law, governmental order or any governmental authority.

 

3. What security measures are taken regarding the Website?

 

We have taken precautions to protect the Website data and information under our control from misuse, loss or alteration. We deploy administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk.  Unfortunately, no system can ensure complete security, and you should take steps to protect your information and transmissions.  You must decide the security measures that are appropriate for you; however, common examples are keeping your login identification and password secure and making sure you completely log out when you have finished using any access-restricted section of the Website.

 

4. What if our policy changes or we are acquired?

 

We will post all changes to our Privacy Policy here so you may always become aware of what information we collect, use and disclose.  If at any point we decide to use or disclose your User Information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify you by way of an e-mail or a notice posted on the Website.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, your use of the Website or, where applicable, failure to opt out or object after such a notice is delivered or posted is deemed to be acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

 

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, reorganization or sale of assets that include your information, your information may be transferred to a new legal entity and become subject to a different privacy policy.  You will be notified of any such transfer and, unless your relationship continues with the new entity or as otherwise permitted by applicable law, be provided an opportunity to request deletion of your information.

 

5. How long can we store your User Information?

 

We may store your User Information for so long as required by law or as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or to protect or enforce our rights. 

 

6. Online Tracking and Third Parties?

 

We do not change our Website practices in response to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide individuals the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personal information about their online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.

 

We do not knowingly permit third parties to collect personal information about our Users’ online activities over time and across different websites.

 

7. How do you contact us?

 

If you wish to exercise your right of opt-out as explained in this Privacy Policy, to request deletion of children’s information as described above or for any other purpose in connection with this Privacy Policy, please contact us by email at customercare@rentprogress.com  or by postal mail at:

Location Verification

 

A. Description of Service:

 

When using the location service, we will request your permission to obtain your location using your mobile phone. Your location information will be obtained only when you are at a rental location and requesting access to the property via our self-showing technology and electronic lockbox. Your location information will only be used to confirm that you are in the vicinity of the property you are requesting to view and may be retained (for up to three days) and used by Rently to enhance its service processes. Your consent to opt-in to the location service will be obtained using an SMS verification process.

Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP to 84787 for help. Reply STOP to 84787 to cancel. You will receive up to 3 messages per viewing.

 

SMS restrictions and account limitations: If you are attempting to opt-in to this location service and the SMS text message requesting your consent has not arrived to your phone or you received the messages, but when you attempt to reply to the message, you do not receive a response, then it is likely that your mobile phone account is configured to block text messages from Short Codes. Short codes are non-standard phone numbers, and may also be known as Promotional Codes or Computer Generated Codes. To fix this challenge, contact your wireless phone carrier and ask that they enable your account to receive text messages from the Short Code 84787. Make sure to inquire how long it will take for the change to be effective so that you can try again.

 

Important Message about your Cellular Provider (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and others). This is not a Cellular Provider application. If you use this application, it may require your Cellular Provider to disclose your customer information, including Mobile Phone Location Information, to the application provider or some other third party. By providing your consent, you authorize your Cellular Provider to disclose your information to third parties to enable this application. Check the application’s terms of use and the policies for more information about how the application will collect, access, use or disclose your information. Terms of use and other policies usually are available on the application provider’s website. If you aren’t comfortable with the application’s policies, don’t use it.

 

You acknowledge and agree that:

(1) your relationship with the application provider is separate from your relationship with your Cellular Provider;
(2) your Cellular Provider is not responsible for this application; and
(3) you will hold harmless your Cellular Provider and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from any judgments, claims, actions, losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or attributable to this application or the acts or omissions of the application provider.

 

B. Opting Out

When using this location service, you will be automatically opted out of the service 30 days after your opt in date. You can also opt-out at any time by reply “STOP” to 84787. You will not be located after unless you use the service again and provide your consent to be located at that time.

 

C. Protecting your Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us and so this service uses only secure HTTPS communication with SSL Encryption to obtain your location data. When using this service, your location will be used to verify you are in the vicinity of the property you are requesting to view via our self-showing technology. Your location will only be verified during the check in process of your self-viewing. Your location data will be stored for 3 days after each property viewing for the purpose of debugging only. After this, your location data will be deleted from the system.

 

D. Sharing information

 

Your location data (latitude, longitude and accuracy estimate) will not be shared with anyone or used for any purpose other than its intended use

 

E. Data Security

 

All location data is securely stored using technology and security features that safeguard the privacy of your location information, including:

 

• Maintaining and protecting the security of computer storage and network equipment;
• Security procedures that require user names and passwords to access sensitive data;
• Applying encryption or other appropriate security controls to protect location information when stored or transmitted by us;
• Limiting access to location information to only those with jobs requiring such access.
