What Has Changed: Everything
The Property whose website you have visited respects the privacy of your

about you in a careful and sensible manner. This notice describes our
privacy policy. By visiting this website, you are accepting the practices
described in this privacy notice.
Information that We
Collect
The information that
we learn from and about you helps us personalize and improve your experience
and improve the rentals, products, and services that we (or a third-party with
whom we have a relationship) provide you. Although most personal
information is collected by third-party websites that are beyond our control,
you may provide personal information to us (which we may collect and save) when
you fill out a form on our website or communicate with us. Primarily,
that information includes IP addresses, browsers, information captured in
cookies, and pages viewed, but it could also include, among other things, your
name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, social security
number, home demographics, and pet ownership.
The information that
we collect may fall into the following categories:
- Information
that you provide to us: We collect and save information that you enter on
our website or on a third-party website with whom we have a relationship
or that you provide to us in another way. We use the information
that you provide for purposes such as responding to your requests and
inquiries; customizing rental, product, or services offerings; improving
the Property and other properties we own, and communicating with
you. For example, we collect and save information when you respond
to a survey or marketing communication sent to you by a third-party vendor
with whom we have a relationship.
- Automatic
information: We collect and save information when you interact with
us. For example, we use “cookies,” which are discussed in more
detail below.

If you use an app created by the Property or a third-party with whom we
have a relationship, we may collect and save information about your
location and your mobile device. This information may be used for a
variety of purposes, including providing you with location-based services,
advertising, search results, rentals, and other personalized
content. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location
services.

things, your preferences, rental history, or payment history.

services in which you have expressed an interest and on other rentals, products
or services in which we believe you may have an interest. We use personal

information when we believe sharing is appropriate to comply with the law;

others. For example, the Property may share information (a) with
other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk
reduction; (b) to help the Property defend against claims and/or exercise
a legal right or remedy that the Property may have; or (c) to respond to
lawful requests by public authorities.
