Common Living Inc. Privacy Policy

Information That You Provide to Us:

We may collect the following types of information from you at different points during your use of the Services: name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, information about your housing preferences, information about yourself needed for background and/or credit checks, a profile picture or other digital image, and social media account IDs.

If you provide information through the Site to request a call or to find a potential home, such information may include information about your desired city, budget and move-in date, as well as your name, email address, and telephone number. We use this information to match you to a potential home and contact you regarding the same. If you apply for Membership, you may additionally provide your mailing/physical address, information about your housing preferences, and other information about yourself needed for background and/or credit checks. We use this information to evaluate your eligibility for Common Membership and for certain operational aspects of the Services. If you create an Account, you will also provide a username and password to access your Account. If you use the Common Community Portal, you may further provide a display name, profile picture or other digital image, information about your interests, and social media account IDs. We use this information to facilitate interactions between Members and users of the Services and to improve the Services.

You acknowledge that this information may be personal to you, and by providing such Personal Information to us, you allow others, including us, to identify you and therefore may not be anonymous. In addition, some of this information may include sensitive information, and we do not collect this information unless you voluntarily provide it or unless we are required to do so pursuant to applicable laws or regulations. We may use your contact information to send you information about our Services from time to time when we feel such information is important. You may unsubscribe from these messages through your Account settings, although we, regardless, reserve the right to contact you when we believe it is necessary, such as for account recovery purposes.

Financial Information:

We do not currently collect financial information, such as your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information); that information is collected and stored by our third party payment processing company (the “Payment Processor”), and use and storage of that information is governed by the Payment Processor’s applicable terms of service and privacy policy.

IP Address Information and Other Information Collected Automatically:

· We automatically receive and record information from your web browser when you interact with the Services, including your IP address and cookie information. This information is used for fighting spam/malware and also to facilitate collection of data concerning your interaction with the Services (e.g., what links you have clicked on).

· Generally, the Services automatically collect usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to the Site. We may use this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us and third parties authorized by us to figure out how often individuals use parts of the Services so that we can analyze and improve them.

Email Communications:

We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. We use this confirmation to improve our Services.

Information Collected Using Cookies:

· Cookies are pieces of text that may be provided to your computer through your web browser when you access a website. Your browser stores cookies in a manner associated with each website you visit. We use cookies to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visit the Site and otherwise use the Services through the Internet.

· Our cookies do not, by themselves, contain Personal Information, and we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information to tell us who you are. As noted, however, we do use cookies to identify that your web browser has accessed aspects of the Services and may associate that information with your Account if you have one.

· Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave cookies active, because they enable you to take advantage of the most attractive features of the Services.

· This Privacy Policy covers our use of cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by third parties. We do not control when or how third parties place cookies on your computer. For example, third party websites to which a link points may set cookies on your computer.

Aggregate Information:

We collect statistical information about how both unregistered and registered users, collectively, use the Services (“Aggregate Information”). Some of this information is derived from Personal Information. This statistical information is not Personal Information and cannot be tied back to you, your Account or your web browser.

IP Address Information:

While we collect and store IP address information, that information is not made public. We do at times, however, share this information with our partners, service providers and other persons with whom we conduct business, and as otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy.

Information You Elect to Share:

You may access other Third Party Services through the Services, for example by clicking on links to those Third Party Services from within the Site. For example, you may elect to share Personal Information with Third Party Services for the purposes of running a background or credit check as part your application for Common Membership or to process payments. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of any Third Party Services, and you are responsible for reading and understanding those Third Party Services’ privacy policies. This Privacy Policy only governs information collected on the Services.

You may elect to share your information with other users or Members through the Services, including, but not limited to, through your use of the Common Community Portal. We strongly advise you to use the utmost caution before sharing any Personal Information with others, including other users and Members. You should not, under any circumstances, provide your financial information (for example, credit card or bank account numbers) to other individuals.

You may also elect to share certain of your information to be shared publicly, such as testimonials with a profile picture, display name and/or Common home.

Except as set forth elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, you will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with third parties, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.

Aggregate Information:

We share Aggregate Information with our partners, service providers and other persons with whom we conduct business. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners can understand how and how often people use our Services and their services or websites, which facilitates improving both their services and how our Services interface with them. In addition, these third parties may share with us non-private, aggregated or otherwise non Personal Information about you that they have independently developed or acquired.

Email Communications with Us:

As part of the Services, you may occasionally receive email and other communications from us, such as communications relating to your Account. Communications relating to your Account will only be sent for purposes important to the Services, such as notifications of updates to our policies, password recovery, and information about Common homes and Services that you may be interested in.

User Profile Information:

If you use the Common Community Portal, user profile information including your display name, a profile picture or selected digital image, your Common home, and other information you choose to provide (such as interests and social media account IDs) will be displayed to other users or Members to facilitate user interaction within the Services. If you are approved for a Common Membership, we may also share your name and email address with other users and Members as part of providing the Services.

Financial Information:

As stated above, we do not currently collect financial information, as that information is collected and stored by our Payment Processor. However, we may from time to time request and receive some of your financial information from our Payment Processor for the purposes of completing transactions you have initiated through the Services, enrolling you in discount, rebate, and other programs in which you elect to participate, protecting against or identifying possible fraudulent transactions, and otherwise as needed to manage our business.

Information Shared with Our Agents and Third Parties:

We employ and contract with people and other entities that perform certain tasks on our behalf and who are under our control (our “Agents”). We may need to share Personal Information with our Agents in order to provide products or services to you, such as name, email address, telephone number, and mailing/physical address. Unless we tell you differently, our Agents do not have any right to use Personal Information or other information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. In addition, if you apply for a Common Membership, Common may share screening and application information, contact information and occupancy information, all of which may include Personal Information, with the owner of any property leased or managed by Common (“Owner”) that you occupy, financing provider to Common or such Owner, and any data analytics, data processing or reporting agent of such Owner, Common or a financing provider to such Owner or Common as needed in the operation of its business. You hereby consent to our sharing of Personal Information with our Agents, and relevant Owners and financing providers.

Information Disclosed Pursuant to Business Transfers:

In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the transferred business assets. Moreover, if we, or substantially all of our assets, were acquired, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of us or our assets may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy.

Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others:

We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as we reasonably believe is necessary to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, (ii) enforce this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations hereof, (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, (iv) respond to user support requests, or (v) protect our rights, property or safety or our users, Members or the public (such as when harm or violence against any person is threatened). This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and spam/malware prevention.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service, we reserve the right, but have no obligation, to disclose any information that you provide through the Services, if in our sole opinion, we suspect or have reason to suspect, that the information involves a party who may be the victim of abuse in any form. Abuse may include, without limitation, elder abuse, child abuse, spousal abuse, neglect or domestic violence. Information may be disclosed to authorities that we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate to handle such disclosure. Appropriate authorities may include, without limitation, law enforcement agencies, child protection agencies or court officials.
