Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 2023

We take our clients’ privacy very seriously. We understand that your privacy is important. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use the personal information that we collect about you on www.StayFrank..com (the "Website").

By continuing to use the Website, you agree to this Privacy Policy and the collection, use, disclosure, and storage of your personal information as described by this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

When you use the Website, we and/or our subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “we”, “us” or “our”) may collect personal information about you, such as your name, address, social security number, telephone number, email address, asset information, income information, or any other information that you submit on applications or other forms made available through the Website.

We may also collect personal information about you from third party sources, which we may combine with information that you provided to us or we previously collected. For example, we may receive information about you from an online marketplace that you have used.

We also automatically collect certain information related to you and your activities on the Website when you visit the Website. This information includes information such as your IP address, your internet browser and operating system type, the date and time of your visit, and the website that referred you to us.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Our Website uses cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons (otherwise known as pixel tags). A "cookie" is a small file placed on your computer that helps us to recognize your browser. We use both first and third-party cookies and tracking technologies on the Website. These cookies and tracking technologies may collect your personal information. We may use cookies and tracking technologies to monitor how the Website is used, customize content, serve advertisements and evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, identify problems with the Website, improve the Website, analyze Website traffic and other analytics purposes, monitor the security of the Website, and gauge the effectiveness of our communications. Most web browsers allow you to adjust your preferences to reject cookies or to receive notifications before they are placed. If your browser is set to reject cookies, you may continue to use the Website, but some aspects of the Website may not function as intended.

Tracking

Our first-party cookies and tracking technologies do not track users over time and across third-party websites, and therefore the Website does not respond to web browser do-not-track signals.

We also use third-party cookies to serve targeted advertisements on both the Website and on third-party websites. These cookies may track users over time and across third-party websites and services. Please note that if you opt-out of advertising cookies, you may still see our advertisements on third-party websites and services.

How We Use Collected Information

We use collected information to:

  • Complete and evaluate your application to engage in a sale-leaseback transaction;
  • Deliver the products or services you requested;
  • Improve customer service;
  • Improve our website;
  • Personalize your experience;
  • Communicate with you about products or services that may be of interest to you;
  • Manage our business; and
  • Engage in any other purpose to which you consent.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives you the opportunity to limit the sharing of “non-experience information” among our affiliates. “Non-experience information” includes information that is used, expected to be used, or collected for the purpose of establishing your eligibility for our products and services, and is not related solely to your transactions or other experiences with us, including information:

  • From your applications, such as your income or marital status
  • From a credit report, such as your credit history
  • From sources used to verify representations made by you, such as your open lines of credit or employment history

Within our family of companies, we may share the customer information we collect with our subsidiary and affiliated businesses.

How We Share Personal Information

We will only share personal information with third parties as described in this Privacy Policy. We may share personal information with third parties:

  • Such as vendors who provide employment verification, title, document import, or other necessary services;
  • Such as to other partners with which we have marketing arrangements or to others that may want to provide information to you about the products and services that they offer (unless you have opted out); 
  • For any purpose to which you expressly consent;
  • To protect our rights or the rights or safety of others; and
  • As may be required by law or regulation.

For example, we provide certain identifying information, such as social security number and date of birth, to service providers who perform background checks in connection with your rental application.  

We limit the information that we send service providers and require that our service providers only use shared personal information to perform the services requested in accordance with this Privacy Policy and have adequate security measures in place to protect any of your shared personal information.   

In the event that we enter into a corporate transaction, such as a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings), personal information that we have collected may be transferred in the course of that corporate transaction to the relevant third party purchaser, joint venture partner, merged entity, assignee or similar party.

Access to and Control Over Information | Data Deletion Requests

You may opt-out of any future marketing contacts from us at any time. You can do the following by sending an email to info@stayfrank.com.

How We Protect Personal Information

We use reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to protect personal information we collect from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or improper disclosure.  Please understand that no security technology is completely secure, and remember that when communicating with us, email is not a secure form of communication when transmitting sensitive or personal information.

Links to Other Websites

The Website may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy is only applicable to this Website, and we have no control of these third-party websites' information practices. Please be sure to review these third-party websites' privacy policies before visiting these third-party websites.

Children's Privacy

If we become aware that a child under the age of 13 has submitted personal information to us through the Website, we will delete such information.
