Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the bcnreg.com website (the “Site”) operated by Beacon Real Estate Group and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and to the websites of properties owned or managed by Beacon Real Estate Group (collectively, “Beacon,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). It describes the personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you.

Beacon respects the privacy of the individuals who visit our Site and use our services (referred to as “you” or “your”). This Privacy Policy is part of, and is subject to, our Terms of Use, including the provisions on Limitation of Liability and governing law. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy before sharing personal information with us and to review it again when you return to the Site.

By accessing or using this Site, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. We may change this Privacy Policy at any time; changes are effective upon posting. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the modified Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

The type of personal information we collect depends on the product or service you request. Depending on the context, we may collect:

• Contact and identity information, such as your name, mailing address, email address, and telephone or mobile number;
• Prospective-resident information, such as the type of home you are seeking, apartment size, preferred location, budget, household size and ages, and whether you have pets;
• Application and financial information, such as employment information, income, payment card or financial account information, and, where permitted and necessary, Social Security number and the results of credit, background, and rental-history checks;
• Employment-candidate information, such as your résumé, employment history, references, and, where permitted, background- and reference-check results; and
• Technical and usage information collected automatically, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages viewed (see “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” below).

Applications, leasing, and payments are frequently processed through third-party platforms and separate community websites. When you engage in those activities you may leave this Site and be subject to the privacy practices of those third parties.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to respond to your inquiries; to communicate with you (including by phone, email, and text message); to provide information about properties, services, and opportunities that may interest you; to process rental applications, leases, and payments; to evaluate employment candidates; to operate, maintain, and improve the Site; to protect the Site and our users; and to comply with legal obligations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small pieces of information transferred to your device for record-keeping purposes. We use session, persistent, and third-party cookies to recognize returning visitors, measure how visitors use the Site, and improve performance and functionality. We never store passwords or payment card information in cookies.

Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can change your cookie preferences or delete cookies through your browser settings, or decline cookies when you enter the Site. Some Site functionality may not work properly without cookies.

We also collect IP addresses for system administration, aggregated analytics, and security. We may associate an IP address with personal information where necessary to protect the Site and our users or to prevent unlawful activity.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share personal information as follows:

• with your consent or at your direction;
• with our affiliates and, in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or other corporate transaction, with potential investors or successors;
• with vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf or on behalf of the owners of properties we manage, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations;
• to comply with applicable law, legal process, or lawful requests from public authorities, or to prevent suspected fraud, threats to safety, or other illegal activity; and
• to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, and to enforce our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.

The use of your information by third-party service providers is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to websites operated by third parties, including advertisers, sponsors, and partners. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. The inclusion of a link does not imply our endorsement. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

Email and Text (SMS) Communications

We may communicate with you by email and by text message (SMS). Our SMS service consists of one-to-one, conversational messages exchanged between our team and any individual who contacts us, provides us their mobile number, or with whom we communicate in the ordinary course of our business. It is not used for mass marketing or automated/API messaging.

By providing your mobile number and agreeing to communicate by text (for example, by checking the SMS consent box on our contact form or by texting us first), you consent to receive text messages from our team at the number you provided. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any product, service, or transaction.

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message; reply HELP for help. You may opt out of commercial email by following the unsubscribe instructions in the message. If you use both this Site and a separate community site, or third-party sites, you may need to opt out of each separately.

No mobile information (including your phone number and SMS opt-in) is shared with or sold to third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes, and text-messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent as required by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). By using the Site, you represent that you are at least 13 years old. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Your Privacy Rights

You may request that we confirm whether we process personal information about you, and that we correct, update, or delete your personal information, subject to applicable law. To exercise these rights, or if you have questions about our handling of your information, please contact us using the details below.

When we receive a deletion request, we will make reasonable efforts to remove the information from our systems. Some information may remain in backups or archives, or may be retained as necessary to perform a contract with you or to comply with legal obligations.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, and no method of electronic storage, is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you provide your information at your own risk.

Visitors Outside the United States

Beacon is located in the United States (State of Florida). If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those of your country. By using the Site, you consent to this transfer and processing.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will indicate changes by updating the effective date at the top of this Policy and, where appropriate, by other means. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
