| Privacy Policy for Personal Information
of Rental Applicants and Residents 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 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 office, only authorized persons have access to your Social Security or other governmental identification number. We keep all documents containing this information in a manner that ensures 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 service you use to furnish you their privacy policies as well. Thanks Banita Creek Management |
