Important to Note:
Entrata provides a suite of products and services (collectively, the "Entrata Platforms" or "Platforms") for use by our business clients ("Clients"), which are typically residential and commercial real estate property managers and property owners. Our Clients use our Platforms for many purposes, such as to manage the leasing lifecycle, and to facilitate communication with their end users and residents ("End Users"). Entrata typically has no direct relationship with End Users; we simply process and store End Users' personal information ("Client Data") on our Clients' behalf, as their service provider; Clients are responsible for directing Entrata in the processing of such information. Any use of Client Data by us is carried out pursuant to an agreement (and/or our applicable Terms of Service) in place between Entrata and our Client.
If you, as an End User, have any questions or concerns about the data handling practices of a Client using our Platforms to process and store your personal information, please contact the relevant Client directly.
Our ProspectPortal Platform permits our Clients to create their own websites, which facilitate communication and transactions between prospective and current tenants and our Clients. While these websites are built using our Platforms, and Client Data obtained through these websites are stored on our systems, this data is considered Client Data and is governed by our Clients' privacy notices/policies.
Finally, our Entrata Sites may contain links to other third-party websites. The information practices and content of such third-party websites are governed by their own privacy notices. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of such third-party websites to understand their information practices.
Entrata, Inc. and its affiliated entities (collectively, "Entrata", "we", "us", "our") are committed to protecting individual privacy and maintaining the trust of our Clients, the actual users of our services who are employed or contracted by our Clients ("Client Staff"), and visitors to our websites ("Visitors") (collectively, "you," "your"). It is important to us that we provide transparency regarding our collection, use, and disclosure of information that can be reasonably linked with you ("Personal Information").
To help us meet this commitment to you, we have created this Privacy Notice ("Privacy Notice"). This Privacy Notice governs data protection matters across the websites we control and which link to this Privacy Notice ("Entrata Sites") including related services other than the Platforms we provide to our Clients (collectively, "Services"). This Privacy Notice, along with our Terms of Use (available here), form an integral part of our relationship with you.
Please Note: This Privacy Notice only governs our processing of Personal Information in the United States. You can view our additional Privacy Notices here by region.

Client Data obtained through these Platforms websites is governed by our Clients' privacy notices/policies.
Finally, our Entrata Sites may contain links to other third-party websites. The information practices and content of such third-party websites are governed by their own privacy notices.
