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 Number and other identifying or
sensitive personal information. Our policy and procedures are
designed to help ensure that your information is kept secure, and we
work to follow all federal and state laws regarding the protection
of your personal information. While no one can guarantee against
identity theft or the misuse of personal information, protecting the
information you provide us is a high priority to our company and
staff. If you ever have concerns about this issue, please feel free
to share them with us.
How personal
information is collected.
You will be
asked to furnish some of your personal information when 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 use this
information only for our business purposes involved in leasing a
dwelling to you.
Examples of these uses include, but are not limited to,
verifying statements made on your rental application (such as your
rental, credit and employment history), reviewing your lease for
renewal and enforcing your lease obligations (such as to obtain
payment for money you may owe us in the future).
How the
information is protected and who has access. We allow only
authorized persons to have access to your personal information, and
we keep documents and electronic records containing this information
in secure areas and systems.
How the
information is disposed of.
After we no
longer need or are required to keep your personal information, we
will store or destroy it in a manner designed to prevent
unauthorized persons from accessing it. Our disposal methods will
include shredding, destruction or obliteration of paper documents
and destruction of electronic files.
Locator
services. If you found us through a
locator service, please be aware that locator services are
independent contractors and are not our employees or agents—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 own privacy policies.
Thanks,
CASTLE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
