At hotRENT, we value the importance of privacy and the trust you place in us as service providers. We place the highest standards and security on the information you provide and the transactions you perform with us. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting hotRENT you are accepting the practices described in this privacy notice.

What information does hotRENT collect from their users?
We collect personally identifiable information (email address) from you when you set up an account with hotRENT. While you can browse our site without being a registered member, certain activities do require registration.

Our site's registration form requires landlords and property managers to give us contact information (name, address, phone number, and email address). We use this information to establish and/or verify your identity, notify you about communication from hotRENT renters, and enable hotRENT renters to view your property listing.

What does hotRENT use the personal information for?
We use your personal information to support the functionality on the site such as email communication, listing details and contact information. In addition, we use personal information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, help promote a safe service, measure consumer interest in our services, inform you about offers and services, and enforce our terms of use.

In our efforts to continually improve our product and service offerings, we collect and analyze demographic and profile data about our users' activity on our website.

Does hotRENT share personal information it receives?
hotRENT values your trust in us as a company to collect your information and we absolutely do not sell or share it with others. We share customer information only as described below.

Working with agents - We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for any other purposes.

In accordance with the law and protection against fraud - We release account and other personal information when we believe the release is appropriate to comply with law, enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements or protect the rights, property, or safety of hotRENT, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, protection against identify theft and credit-risk reduction. This does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes.

Business Deals - As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy companies, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information is generally one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy. Also, in the unlikely event that hotRENT is sold and all of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.

Links to Other Sites
Our site links to other websites that may collect personally identifiable information about you. hotRENT is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those linked websites.

Can I opt out of your email communications?
hotRENT provides all users with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving promotional and marketing-related communications from us on behalf of our partners, and from us in general, after setting up an account. Simply go to My Account and edit your account.

Note: Our privacy is subject to change at any time. Please review this policy periodically to ensure you are aware of any changes.
