Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 01/01/2025

At Apartment One, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our platform. We are committed to ensuring the confidentiality and security of your data, especially when it comes to sensitive information used in background checks.

1. Information We Collect

We collect and process the following types of information:

For Renters/Tenants:

Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, and other identifying details.

Financial Information: Payment details for processing tenant screening fees.

Background Check Data: Credit history, eviction history, criminal records, and other related information required for tenant screening

Technical Information: IP addresses, browser types, device information, and usage data to enhance your user experience.

Tenant Information: Information provided by tenants, such as their background check results, which may be used to assess their suitability for rental properties.

Payment Information: Details of any payments received through the platform (e.g., transaction records for property listing fees, etc.).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

For Renters/Tenants:

Conducting comprehensive background checks in compliance with applicable laws, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

Matching renters with properties based on their qualifications and screening results.

Facilitating secure transactions and communication between tenants and landlords.

Improving and personalizing the user experience on our platform.

Complying with legal obligations and resolving disputes.

For Landlords/Property Managers:

Listing rental properties and showcasing available units.

Facilitating the tenant screening process by providing background check results to property managers (note: landlords do not have direct access to tenant screening details).

Managing rental agreements, payments, and communications with tenants.

Enhancing the platform to support landlords with efficient property management tools.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not share tenants’ background check results or personal screening information with landlords or property managers. All matching is done within the system, and only suitable listings are displayed to tenants based on their profile and background check results.

However, we may share your information with:

For Renters/Tenants:

Third-Party Screening Providers: To conduct credit checks, eviction history reviews, and other tenant screening services.

Legal Authorities: If required by law or to protect our rights and interests.

For Landlords/Property Managers:

Third-Party Service Providers: To provide services related to property management, such as payment processing or tenant communication.

Legal Authorities: If required by law or to protect our rights and interests.

We will never sell or share your information with unauthorized third parties.

4. Background Check Process

For Renters/Tenants:

Background checks are a core part of our service. By using our platform, you consent to:

The collection of information necessary for credit, eviction, and criminal history checks.

Using the results of these checks within the system to match you with rental listings.

Secure storage and deletion of sensitive information once its purpose is fulfilled.

For Landlords/Property Managers:

Landlords will not have direct access to the details of the background checks. The system will handle the matching of tenants to listings internally based on screening results, ensuring that landlords only receive pre-screened, suitable tenant profiles without being privy to sensitive personal information such as credit scores or criminal records.

All data is handled in compliance with relevant privacy laws, including the FCRA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable.

5. Data Security

We implement robust security measures to protect your information, including:

Encryption of sensitive data during transmission and storage.

Regular security audits and monitoring to prevent unauthorized access.

Limiting data access to authorized personnel only.

For Landlords:

We also ensure that your business data and property listings are protected and handled with confidentiality. Access to tenant data is restricted, and you will only receive the information necessary to manage your property and facilitate successful tenant placements.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access, correct, or delete your personal information.

Withdraw consent for data processing at any time.

Opt-out of communications or data-sharing practices, subject to legal requirements.

Request that your personal data be transferred to another service provider in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

For Landlords:

You also have the right to access, update, or delete the information related to your property listings and business profile at any time. However, you are prohibited from charging renters for the tenant screening process, as it is covered by the platform.
