Privacy Policy

Updated 06/27/2022

Thank you for doing business with Rentroom LLC (“Rentroom,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).  We have adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to help our current and potential customers, clients, and other individuals and companies (“you” or “your,”) understand what Data we collect, store, share, and use, how and why we do so, and what your rights are in regards to that Data.We always seek to improve our Services to you, and that requires that we collect, store, share, and use information about you and your usage preferences.  As we do so, we are absolutely committed to protecting your privacy and the security of your personal information.In this Privacy Policy, we use the word “Data” to describe all the information we collect that relates to you and your use of our Services.  “Data” is broken into different categories, which are defined in the “Data We Collect and How We Use It” section of this Privacy Policy.  We may refer to the different categories separately, but when we use the word “Data,” we mean all the different categories described in this Privacy Policy.  When we have a separate agreement with you and that agreement addresses how we handle Data, the terms of that separate agreement will control over any conflicting provisions of this Privacy Policy.  The definition of “Data” in that separate agreement, if there is one, may differ from the definition we use in this Privacy policy, since the agreement will address particular interactions with a particular party.With that exception, this Privacy Policy applies to everybody who interacts with us online or otherwise.  Since different portions of the Privacy Policy will apply differently to the various groups who interact with us, we have tried to clearly categorize the types of Data we process and how we do so.    

1.  DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Rentroom is an online platform offering next-generation business tools, applications, APIs and data integrations that give our customers and users access to information about their rental relationships.  The platform simplifies property management and the interactions between landlords and tenants.  In this Privacy policy, all the functions made available by our tools, including the other services and professional services we provide directly, are included in the term “Services.” The term “Services” also includes any of Rentroom’ websites, platforms, mobile applications, tools, software, personalized content, and other applications, as well as any other services and tools now known or later developed by Rentroom.

2.  LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
Many jurisdictions require that we disclose to you the lawful basis for our processing of your Data.  We do that in Section 4 below and throughout this Privacy Policy.  In general, our lawful basis for processing your Data is based either on your specific consent or your contract with us.  By accessing or using any of the Services or by otherwise interacting with us online, you consent to our use of your Data as described in this Privacy Policy.  If our processing of your Data is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time, and we will cease collecting your Data.  However, in some cases, this may result in your inability to receive partial or full access to the Services, and your withdrawal of consent does not limit our ability to use the Data that has been aggregated and anonymized for use by us in connection with our legitimate business efforts in the future.  In addition, your withdrawal of consent does not prevent us from retaining and processing Data if we are required to do so by applicable law or in order to preserve legal claims.  It also doesn’t prevent us from processing Data that has been gathered pursuant to a different lawful basis.  For example, if you give your consent for us to process your Data, but we are also required by law to keep your Data, that separate “lawful basis” will still apply, even if you withdraw your consent.For purposes of clarity, when you enter into an agreement with us, either by accessing the Services, by executing an agreement in hard copy or by clicking “I Accept” or similar language online, we will process your Data for the purposes of fulfilling the terms of our contract with you.  In that case, our processing of your Data is based on the contract, so your withdrawal of consent will only be effective after the purposes for processing that Data have been fulfilled and after we no longer have a legal obligation to keep that Data.In all cases, we will comply with applicable law and we will cease processing your Data after the legal right, obligation, or other lawful basis expires.  

3.  INTENDED USERS
The Services are directed solely to persons 18 years of age or older or of children under 18 who are supervised by a parent, guardian, or other caregiver.  Other than for Data collected for the specific purpose of providing the Services to users, we do not knowingly collect Data from users who are under 13. If we become aware that we have gathered Data from a person under 13, except to provide the Services to such person, then we will attempt to delete such Data as soon as possible, subject to our obligations under applicable law. If you believe that we have gathered Data from a person under 13 in contravention of this policy, please contact us at alex@getrentroom.com.

We may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to display advertisements on the Services. Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer or use other technologies such as JavaScript and web beacons. Doing this allows them to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement.
