Privacy Policy

Scope

This privacy policy describes how we handle your personal information for our services available on WhataPad.com. By using the WhataPad.com web site, you expressly consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy, including its transfer to and storage on our servers in the United States.

Collection

While you can browse some sections of the website without being a registered user, certain activities do require registration. Once you give us your personal information, you are not anonymous to us. The information we hold about you is collected on the WhataPad.com website. Depending on the services used, we may collect and store the following personal information:

  1. Contact information such as name, email address, address and telephone number.
  2. Move-in date and demographic information such as gender, age, marital status, occupation, and other personal and lifestyle information (for example, if you respond to an optional survey request).
  3. Financial information such as credit card or bank account numbers.
  4. Information based on your activities on the website, such as search information, computer sign-on data, statistics on page views, traffic to, from and within the website, ad data, and IP address and standard web log information.

Use

Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We may use your personal information to:

  1. Provide the services and customer support you request, including confirming emails related to the website services, reminders and transactions.
  2. Provide the ability to communicate with Renters and Lessors.
  3. Resolve disputes, collect fees and troubleshoot problems.
  4. Customize your experience and otherwise measure and improve our services and the website's content and layout.
  5. Help promote a safe service and detect and prevent error, fraud and other potentially prohibited or illegal activity.
  6. Enforce our agreements, terms, condition, and policies.

Disclosure

We may share some or all of your personal information with: Law enforcement offices, third-party rights owners or others in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy; respond to claims that an advertisement, posting or other content violates the rights of a third party; or protect the rights, property or personal safety of our users or the general public.

We may also disclose personal information if permitted to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to respond to subpoenas, court orders or other legal process.

Third Parties

Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose your information to others, whether they are Renters and Lessors or other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. WhataPad.com does not control the privacy policies of third parties. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

Our website links to other websites that may collect personal information about you. WhataPad.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those linked websites.

Cookies

We or our service providers may place cookies or web beacons on your computer when you visit portions of our website. We use permanent cookies to provide personalized features, such as automatically logging you into your personalized home page. We use session cookies, which are deleted when you log out of WhataPad.com or browse to a different website, to monitor and improve the functionality and usability of our website. You can block our cookies by changing the settings on your browser (contact your ISP for help), but doing so may prevent us from delivering certain services to you.

Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal Information

You can see, review and change most of your personal information by logging into the website and editing your account profile. Generally, we will not manually modify your personal information because it is very difficult to verify your identity remotely. You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Once you make a public posting, you may not be able to change or remove it. Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your personal information from view as soon as reasonably possible based on your account activity and in accordance with applicable law. We do retain personal information from closed accounts in order to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.

Account Protection

Your password is the key to your account. Use unique numbers, letters and special characters, and do not disclose your WhataPad.com password to anyone. If you do share your password or your personal information with others, remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify WhataPad.com and change your password.

Security

You recognize and agree that when submitting your personally identifiable information to WhataPad.com, while WhataPad.com has safeguards in place to prevent unauthorized access or interception, there is no absolute guarantee of security. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF AN INTERCEPTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS DESPITE OUR EFFORTS, WhataPad.com SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH INTERCEPTIONS OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, OR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) SUFFERED BY A CUSTOMER OR USER, EVEN IF WhataPad.com HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WhataPad.com DOES NOT WARRANT, EITHER EXPRESSLY OR IMPLIEDLY, THAT THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ANY CUSTOMER SHALL BE FREE FROM INTERCEPTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EACH CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF HIS OR HER OWN PASSWORD.
