Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser or until you manually delete it (for the former, the amount of time the cookie remains on your device will depend on the duration or “lifetime” of the specific cookie and your browser settings). Persistent cookies help us recognize you as an existing user of our Site, so it’s easier and convenient to return to our Site or interact with our services without signing in again. In addition, persistent cookies also help us recognize you when you view a resource belonging to our Site from another website or app (such as an advertisement) and help us record information about your web browsing habits during the lifetime of the persistent cookie.

If you access any of our Sites from a social networking site (e.g., Facebook or Twitter), or if you otherwise agree to associate your account with us through a social networking site, we may also receive Personal Information about you from such social networking site.

California Privacy Rights.
RentSavvy adopted this section to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and applies solely to residents of the State of California (“California Consumers”). Without limiting the foregoing, this section provides California Consumers with the disclosures and notices required under the CCPA. Certain exceptions and limitations, may apply to a California Consumer’s rights and RentSavvy’s obligations under the CCPA.
No Sale of Personal Information. RentSavvy has not sold any Personal Information in the preceding twelve (12) months. If RentSavvy ever chooses to sell Personal Information, you would have the right to opt out of the sale of your Personal Information.
Right to Disclosure. California Consumers have the right to request that we disclose certain information about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months, such as:
the categories of Personal Information we have collected;
the categories of sources for the Personal Information we have collected;
our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that Personal Information;
the categories of third parties with whom we share that Personal Information;
if we sold or disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing (i) sales, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and (ii) disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the Personal Information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
Right to Access. You have the right to request that we provide you with access to specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you over the past 12 months (also called a “data portability request”). If you submit a request for such access, we will provide you with copies of the requested pieces of Personal Information in a portable and readily usable format. Please note that RentSavvy is prohibited by law from disclosing copies of certain pieces of Personal Information (e.g., government identification numbers, financial account information, and passwords or security questions and answers) because the disclosure would create a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of the information, our business systems, or your account.
Right to Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, with certain exceptions. RentSavvy may permanently delete, deidentify, or aggregate the Personal Information in response to a request for deletion.

Submit a Consumer Privacy Request. To exercise any of the above rights, please submit a verifiable consumer privacy request to RentSavvy by email at privacy@RentSavvy.com.
Please note that under the CCPA, RentSavvy is only required to respond to two requests for disclosure, access or deletion over a twelve (12) month period.
Verification. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information unless we can verify your identity and your authority to make the request and confirm that the Personal Information relates to you. A verifiable California Consumer privacy request must:
provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Information or an authorized representative;
describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
Authorized Agent. You may make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. Otherwise, only you, or a person you have designated in writing as your authorized agent or who is registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf, or to whom you have provided power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465 (“Authorized Agent”) may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. If you wish to have an Authorized Agent make a verifiable consumer request on your behalf, they will need to provide us with sufficient written proof that you have designated them as your Authorized Agent, and we will still require you to provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information.
RentSavvy’s Response. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of receipt. If we require more time, we will notify you in writing of the reason and extension period. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding receipt of the verifiable consumer request. If we cannot comply with part or all of your request, we will explain the reasons in our response.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer privacy request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Other California Privacy Rights. California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84 (the Shine the Light Act) entitles California residents to request disclosure regarding Personal Information sharing with affiliates and/or third parties for marketing purposes.
