The privacy and security of your personal information is very important to ROSS
Companies. The following policy outlines how ROSS Companies uses and protects
the information it obtains for visitors to our web site. Information Security
ROSS COMPANIES utilizes 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to protect
the information you provide for the purpose of conducting an online credit
screening (i.e. pre-qualification), collecting rental application information
and processing credit card transactions. SSL is the industry standard for
encrypting and protecting communications over the Internet. In addition, online
pre-qualification convenience fees paid directly on our website are processed
via a secure payment platform which also utilizes SSL connections to ensure that
the communications between ROSS COMPANIES’ website and financial institutions is
encrypted and remain private. While we make ever effort to ensure the security
of our networks and systems, we can not guarantee that our measures will prevent
“hackers” from illegally obtaining information. Information Collection A
“cookie” is a small data file that can be placed on your computer’s hard drive
upon visiting the ROSS COMPANIES web site. ROSS COMPANIES may use cookies to
collect, store or track information for statistical purposes in order to assist
us in managing and improving the products and service we provide. While at the
ROSS COMPANIES website, you may voluntarily provide personally identifiable
information, including but not limited to the following, for the purpose of
submitting a request to an apartment community providing information necessary
to conduct an online credit screening (i.e. pre-qualify online) and/or complete
an online rental application:
Name
Date of Birth
Social Security

Employment Status and History
Generally, ROSS COMPANIES
only uses the personally identifiable information collected for its intended
purpose. This includes, disclosure to and use by third party credit screening
services contracted by an apartment community so they may process online credit
applications consented to in advance by the user and fulfilling requests by the
user to submit their contact information, reservation request and/or rental
application to an apartment community. ROSS COMPANIES reserves the right to
share standard contact information such as name, address, telephone number and
email address, and the specifics of the reservation, with the third party that
operates the website from which the user accessed or linked to the ROSS
COMPANIES website to submit an apartment reservation request. ROSS COMPANIES
does not monitor or control the use or disclosure of your contact information by
these third parties. A list of third party partners can be viewed at
www.vaultware.com/partners. ROSS COMPANIES, or its authorized agents, may on
occasion contact users of the ROSS COMPANIES site directly in order to provide
support or conduct research for the purpose of improving the website and/or
services provided. ROSS COMPANIES does not conduct credit screenings but rather
acts as a conduit to pass the necessary information to the appropriate entities.
There may be certain circumstances that require us to disclose user information
including, but not limited to, as required by law. Other than described within,
we do not willingly share or sell personally identifiable information collected
from the user of the ROSS COMPANIES website. ROSS COMPANIES reserves the right
to revise, amend or modify this policy at any time and in any manner. |
