  1. This Privacy Police Does Not Apply to External Links

Our websites contain links to several third-party websites, software, or applications not owned or controlled by the Company, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to such websites, software, or applications or the use of any data by such websites, software, or applications. Should you decide to navigate to any websites, software, or application or webpages external to our websites, you do so entirely at your own risk. We are not responsible for the actions, privacy, security, or content of such third-party websites, software and applications. If you are asked to provide information on one of these websites, software, and applications, we encourage you to carefully review their privacy policy before sharing your information.

  1. Utilizing On-Site’s Leasing Software

We use separate sites for the processing of resident applications and agreements and to assist our residents with other tasks which are required or helpful to them. You will move away from our websites when engaging in those activities (e.g., when viewing a residential property for rent on alangelo.com, clicking on the “Apply Now” button will re-route users to an application portal operated by On-Site.com). On-Site, a RealPage, Inc. subsidiary, provides certain residential services which may include application and payment processing, maintenance support and requests, and other technical support. On-Site collects your Personal Information to provide you with these services and may require the creation of an account to access and maintain these services. On-Site has represented to us, and publicly represents on its webpage (on-site.com), that it and its service providers store your data on a secure server, but makes the following disclaimer, “no security program is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose Personal Information. We maintain security incident response policies and procedures to handle incidents involving access to personal data we process.”

For more insight, please read On-Site’s Terms of Service (https://www.on-site.com/tos-announcement/) and/or Corporate Privacy Policy (https://www.on-site.com/privacy-policy/), each of which On-Site and/or RealPage, Inc. has the right to modify from time to time.

  1. Use of Cookies and Similar Technology

Currently, the Company does not automatically collect Personal Information through the use of “cookie” technology to store your preferences and record session information. A “cookie” is a small piece of data placed on your computer by us. Within your web browser, cookies can only be accessed by our website; other websites you visit cannot access these cookies. However, the Company reserves the right to modify its websites from time to time, and may adopt the use of cookies to, amongst other things, maintain session and preference information to improve the use of our websites. Should the Company begin to use cookies on its websites, you may set your web browser to decline our cookies; however, this may render portions of our website unusable. To learn more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, please visit https://www.allaboutcookies.org.

While the Company does not currently use cookie technology, if such technology is later adopted, we may allow cookies to be placed on your computer by third parties for the purpose of website analytics. This would allow a third party to collect data about your use of our website. We would not share the data collected with anyone besides the third party and would only use the data collected in the following ways:

  • to report, in aggregate, how our visitors find and use our website;
  • to understand overall visitor behavior; and
  • to update and improve our website.

As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. Additionally, we may use log files to track how the website is being accessed and used. Log files track anonymous user information such as IP addresses, browser types, Internet service providers, referring and exit pages, platform type, date and time stamps, and number of clicks to, from, and within the website. We may also use clear GIF Tracking Pixels to track user movement through our website for aggregated website traffic measuring.

  1. Storing Your Personal Information

We believe our websites incorporate safeguards to protect the security, integrity, completeness, accuracy, and privacy of the Personal Information we have collected. We have put in place reasonable precautions to protect information from loss, misuse, and alteration; however, despite our efforts, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and we cannot guarantee that the information you transmit or provide to us will be completely secure.

We will retain your Personal Information for as long as needed to provide you with our services (e.g., as long as you have an online account with us) or as needed to fulfill our own obligations, such as preventing fraud, meeting regulatory requirements, resolving disputes, improving our services, or maintaining security, and in each case, as consistent with applicable law. We may retain non-Personal Information that has been sufficiently aggregated or anonymized for a longer period.

  1. Implementing Changes to the Privacy Policy

The Company may at any time amend the provisions in this Privacy Policy. Changes to this Privacy Policy will be reflected by the “Effective Date” as displayed in the first line of this Privacy Policy. If the changes are significant, we may provide a more prominent notice.

  1. Children Sharing Personal Information without Parental Consent

Our websites are intended for general audiences and are not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with Personal Information without parental consent, please contact our customer service representative at Nicolek@alangelo.com.

You may continue to receive service-related and other non-marketing emails and direct mail (e.g., confirmation emails regarding receipt of your resident application). As discussed above, our application and leasing portals are operated by our service providers such as On-Site. If you reside within a Company-owned community and use these portals, you will need to separately opt-out of marketing communications sent by these providers. You will also need to opt-out separately from any third-party websites you have registered with.
  • Cookies. While the Company does not currently utilize cookie technology, it is important to know that most browsers let you remove and/or stop accepting cookies from the websites you visit. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser’s settings. Note that disabling cookies and/or other tracking tools may prevent the Company or its service providers from providing you certain features of our/their websites.
  • Advertising Choices. Your device settings may provide functionality to limit use of advertising ID associated with your device for interest-based advertising purposes. Additionally, you can manage third-party advertising preferences for some of the third parties we work with that advertise across the internet by using the choices available at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and aboutads.info/choices. The Company does not guarantee that all of the third parties we work with will honor the elections you make using those options, but we strive to work with third parties that do.
  • Privacy Settings and Location Data. Users of our websites can disable our access to their device’s precise geolocation in their electronic device settings.
  • Choosing Not to Share Your Personal Information. If you do not provide information that we need to provide you with our services, we may not be able to provide you with such services or provide you access to certain features of our websites, properties, or events (e.g. if you do not provide us with the information we request in our resident applications, we may not be able to process your application and provide you with an opportunity to be a resident at one of our properties).
  • Third Party Platforms or Social Media Networks. We encourage you to review your privacy options and settings of third-party platforms, including without limitation social media platforms and networks, that you use in connection with our websites, services, and properties.   We recommend you understand what choices you have about sharing information from those platforms and networks with us.
