For example, information about how you use a feature may be collected and combined with information about how others use the same feature, without any personal information included in the resulting data.

The Way the Company Uses Information

We use your information for a variety of purposes, including those described below:

Providing and Supporting the Service. The Company uses your information to provide you with all of the features and services found on the Service and to connect you with our business customers and other third parties upon your request. We will use your email address for non-marketing or administrative purposes such as notifying you of major Service updates, responding to your requests, and sending you other types of notices. We may also use your information to diagnose and fix server problems. We may use your information to process your job application and to contact you about a job. In addition, we may review the content of communications you make through the Service so that we can provide better services. For example, monitoring user communications may help us identify and remove users who are attempting to scam other users or perform other illegal activities.

Managing our Relationships with and Invoicing our Business Customers. We use the reporting information provided by our business customers (i.e., move-in data) in order to match their customers (i.e., renters) against our users.  If we are the source of a business transaction, then we charge our business customer a fee. For example, if you saw a property on our Site for the first time and later signed a lease for that property, then our business customer who manages that property would pay us a fee because we were the original source of that transaction. We may also use the move-in data provided by our business customers for audit purposes and to exercise our rights and defenses with respect to our business customers.  

Improving the Service. The Company may use the information that we collect from our users to understand usage trends and preferences, improve the way the Service works and looks, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, and create new features and functionality.  We may also track your use of the Services to improve the design and functionality of the Services.  

Customizing your Experience. The Company may use your information to remember you when you return to our Site (for example, with cookies) so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Site. We may also use your information to provide you with custom, personalized advertisements, content, and information through the use of cookies. For example, based on your property preferences, we may tailor the search results that you see on our Service. The Company also uses the location information that you provide or that it collects from your mobile device or IP address, to show you properties that may be of interest to you.

Analyzing the Service. The Company may use your information to (a) monitor aggregate usage metrics such as the total number of users and number and type of pages viewed, (b) track the conversion of prospective renters into actual renters of our business customers, (c) perform fraud monitoring and prevention and security, and (d) determining the effectiveness of our Service.

Marketing the Service. Where permitted by applicable law, the Company may use your email address or other personal contact information to send you promotional or marketing messages relating to the Service, which you will have the ability to opt out of.  We use your information to monitor the effectiveness of these promotional and marketing campaigns.

Third-Party Uses. We may partner with certain third parties to collect other information to engage in analysis, research, and reporting of Service usage patterns. These third parties may also deliver advertising to you on other websites and applications, based on your activity on our website and other websites over time. These third parties may set and access cookies on your computer or other devices and may also use web logs or web beacons.

Combining Information. We may combine information from the Services that are linked or reasonably linked to a particular computer or device with personal information.
