SECURING INFORMATION

575 Columbia takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard users' Personal Information. While 575 Columbia strives to protect your Personal information and therein your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any Personal Information you disclose online and therefore you must be aware of this risk. We limit access to Personal Information to those individuals and organizations who we believe reasonably need to receive such information to provide our services or to do their jobs, and we take precautions we deem reasonable to protect the security of users' Personal Information. However, as in many computer systems, internet applications and software programs, unauthorized use, failure of hardware or software, etc. may be injurious to the confidentiality of users' Personal Information notwithstanding the actions we take to prevent this. Because the security of all Personal Information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us, we periodically review and improve our security when new technology becomes available. This includes use of software which encrypts (generally processed at 256 bits) or distorts data submitted to us relating to an online rental application or employment application. If users have any questions about security, please contact us using the information in the "Contact Information" section.

RETENTION

We will retain your Personal Information for the period we believe reasonable to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

• The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the services to you
• Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them)
• Whether retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as, for statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations)

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our websites are not directed at children. We do not collect or maintain information at our sites from those we know are under 16, and we do not permit children under 16 years of age to become registered users of our sites.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child under age 16 may have provided personally identifiable information through any of our websites, please contact us using the information in the "Contact Information" section. 

PROFILING AND AUTOMATIC DECISION-MAKING

In certain circumstances, we may use automatic decision-making to evaluate your credit against our required criteria.  Credit-checking is a mandatory step in our application review process. In certain circumstances, we will use automated means to conduct sanctions and PEP screenings and in some cases for background checks.  This processing is in accordance with our legal obligations and legitimate interests and has meaningful human intervention before making final decisions that may impact your application. Sanctions screening involves comparing applicants against public lists maintained by the US Office of Foreign Asset Control and other lists maintained by other Governments.  We do this through a secure online service and the data used to undertake such searches includes your name, date of birth, and nationality.  For common names, the system will sometimes return a result known as a “false positive.” A human analyst will then use additional data you provided, such as your address, to make a final decision about the match. We may also use third parties to serve tailored advertisements that may interest you. To serve these advertisements, those third parties place a cookie or other tracking technology on your browser to profile your access and use of our online services.  For more information about 575 Columbia ’s use of Cookies and how to manage your cookie preferences, see the section on Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies, above. If you would like more information about this practice, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and http://www.aboutads.info/.
