This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard the information you provide when you visit our website at www.privateproperties.homes or when you submit a rental application, inquiry, or any other data through our online forms. By accessing or using our website, you are agreeing to the practices described in this policy, so we encourage you to read it carefully.
We collect information that you voluntarily provide when you complete forms, submit rental applications, contact us, or otherwise interact with our website. This includes personal identification details such as your name, date of birth, email address, phone number, and your current residential address including city, state, and zip code. When you submit a rental application, we may also collect additional information relating to your employment, income, rental history, lease dates, landlord contact details, and various documents you upload such as proof of income or identification. We may also gather information about any dependents or pets in your household, and we may request details regarding any past evictions or bankruptcy filings, as well as references and your preferred payment methods. In addition to the information you provide, our website may also automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages you visit, and cookies or tracking data. This information is used to improve website performance, security, and overall user experience.
The information we collect is used primarily to process your rental application and evaluate your eligibility for tenancy. This may include verifying your identity, employment, and income, as well as conducting background checks when authorized. We use your information to communicate with you regarding available listings, approvals, application updates, or any other steps related to your housing inquiry. Your information also helps us respond to customer service requests and ensure the proper functionality and security of our website. Additionally, we may use your information to meet legal, regulatory, or compliance requirements. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties under any circumstances.
We may share your information with certain third parties when necessary for the processing and evaluation of your rental application. Property owners and landlords may receive relevant information needed to assess your application, including rental history, employment information, or background screening results. We may also share your information with trusted service providers who assist us with tasks such as identity verification, background checks, payment processing, website hosting, and security operations. These third parties are granted access only to the information necessary to perform their duties and are required to protect your data. In some situations, we may disclose your information to comply with legal obligations, court orders, law enforcement requests, or applicable housing laws. We only share the minimum amount of information needed in such cases.
Our website may use cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies that help improve the performance and functionality of our platform. These tools assist us in analyzing traffic patterns, personalizing content, and understanding how visitors interact with the site.

While you may disable cookies in your browser settings, doing so may limit certain features or affect how the website functions.
We take the protection of your information seriously and implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to safeguard your data. These measures may include encrypted form submissions, secure document upload systems, restricted access to databases, and monitoring tools that help detect unauthorized access. Although we strive to use industry-standard security practices, it is important to note that no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, while we work diligently to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
