As a result, certain information may be transferred to or processed in countries outside your country of residence.

Some of these countries may have different data protection laws from those in your jurisdiction.

Where applicable data protection laws require safeguards for international transfers, we will take appropriate steps, which may include relying on adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.

14. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

15. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.

These measures may include:

  • Using secure website connections (HTTPS).
  • Maintaining appropriate website security measures.

17. Additional Privacy Rights for California Residents

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under applicable California privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA).

Depending on the circumstances, these rights may include:

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Where applicable law requires it, we will provide the appropriate notice and opt-out mechanism, such as a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option.

We will process qualifying requests in accordance with applicable California privacy laws.

18. Children’s Privacy

ApartmentCraft is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without the required parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Where other applicable laws provide additional protections for children, we will comply with those requirements.

19. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting that allows users to express a preference regarding online tracking.

There is currently no universally accepted standard for interpreting all Do Not Track signals.

As a result, our website may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize certain browser-based privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control (GPC), we will handle those signals as required by law.

  • Google Advertising: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
