DivcoWest Real Estate Services, LLC (“DivcoWest”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) provides this “Privacy Policy” to explain our information and data collection practices. This Privacy Policy governs your use of our websites (including, without limitation, both mobile and online versions of our sites, collectively referred to herein as our “Sites”), Wi-Fi networks, and other services (whether online, by phone, or in person) that we make available (collectively, and together with “Sites”, referred to herein as the “Services”).

DivcoWest reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. We will post the revised Privacy Policy and update the “Date of Last Revision” date at the top of this policy. We will also provide notice, as appropriate, if we make changes to the Privacy Policy that materially change your rights.

However, we will not use your previously collected Personal Information (defined below) in a manner materially different than indicated at the time it was collected without your consent.

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, California Civil Code Sections 1798.100 et seq. (“CCPA”), and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”), afford additional rights to California residents in relation to their Personal Information. For example, California residents may have the following rights – subject to exceptions and other applicable law:

  1. Right to Transparency. You have a right to understand the categories and types of Personal Information to be collected (see the “Personal Information We Collect” section above), the purposes for which the categories of Personal Information are collected or used (see the “How We Use Your Personal Information” section above), whether that information is sold or shared (see the “How We Share Your Personal Information” section above), and the length of time we intend to retain each category of Personal Information, or if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period, among other information (see the “Retention” section above).
  2. Right to Accessthe categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected, the business purpose for collecting the Personal Information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information.
  3. Right to Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information. We only collect and use sensitive personal information as necessary to provide you with goods and services, and do not sell or share (as defined by the CPRA) sensitive personal information. As a result, we do not, and are not required to, provide a right to limit.
  4. Right to Correct inaccurate or obsolete Personal Information that we may maintain.
  5. Right to Delete the Personal Information under certain circumstances.
  6. Right to Opt-out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information. Although you have the right to opt out of the “sale” of your Personal Information (i.e., disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for valuable consideration), or “sharing” of your Personal Information (i.e., disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising), we do not “sell” or “share” your Personal Information.
  7. Right to non-discrimination. We do not discriminateagainst our employees, applicants, or customers on the basis of their exercising any of their rights afforded by the CCPA and CPRA, which is further in accordance with California residents’ rights under the law.

How California Residents Can Exercise Their Rights

California residents may exercise the rights described above by submitting a verifiable request to us by emailing privacy@divcowest.com or by contacting us by telephone at 1-833-496-7100.  The right to opt out of certain sales or sharing of your Personal Information is not applicable because we do not sell your Personal Information to third parties for valuable consideration or share your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Please specify in your request what Personal Information you would like to access, correct, or delete.

We will first acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 business days after receipt of your request. We will provide a substantive response to your request within 45 calendar days after its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days or the permitted timeframe), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Only you or an authorized agent (as described below) may make a verifiable request related to your Personal Information.

  • How to Authorize an Agent. You may designate an authorized agent to submit your verified request on your behalf, only if the authorized agent has your written permission to do so and you have taken steps to verify your identity directly with us.

How We Verify Your Request. To respond to your request to delete, to correct, or to know, we must verify your identity or the authority of your authorized agent to make the request. We will only use the Personal Information provided in that context to verify your identity or the authority of your authorized agent to make the request. Making a verifiable request does not require you to create an account with us. To allow us to verify your request, we will require that you provide at least two pieces of Personal Information that we already have in our possession, such as your name, contact information, and/or application date. Depending on the sensitivity of the Personal Information and the risk of harm to you posed by unauthorized deletion or correction, we may need to match additional pieces of Personal Information to verify the request to a reasonably high degree of certainty. We will verify your consumer request by comparing the information you provide to information already in our possession, and take additional steps to minimize the risk of fraud.
