Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your email address and password (stored securely using one-way hashing). When you submit a review, we collect information about your rental experience including move-in/move-out dates, ratings, and written feedback.

How We Protect Your Privacy

• Fuzzy dates: We only display the season and year of your tenancy (e.g., "Fall 2024"), never exact dates.
• Anonymous reviews: Your email and identity are never displayed publicly with your reviews.
• Secure storage: Passwords are hashed and all data is stored securely.
• No selling data: We never sell your personal information to third parties.

How We Use Your Information

• To display anonymous reviews to help other tenants
• To calculate aggregate ratings for buildings and landlords
• To contact you about your account or reviews if necessary
• To prevent fraud and abuse of the platform
