We seek to limit the information transferred to third-party providers to information reasonably necessary for the applicable business or service purpose.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
These measures may include access controls, authentication, secure connections, service-provider security controls, and other reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information and systems involved.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
The Federal Trade Commission recommends that organizations understand what personal information they possess, limit unnecessary collection and retention, restrict access, protect information appropriately, and maintain a plan for responding to security incidents.

Different types of information may be retained for different periods.
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it, subject to applicable legal, operational, and security requirements.
Because some information may be stored by third-party service providers, deletion from one system may not necessarily result in immediate deletion from every system.

When you interact with a third-party service, including a social media or advertising platform, that service may collect information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information.
18. International Data Processing
Escaping Rent and the third-party service providers we use may process or store information in the United States and potentially other countries.
As a result, information may be processed in jurisdictions outside the state or country in which you reside.
