Why Sensitive Information Is Safe With ExactEstate
ExactEstate News
In an age when privacy violations abound, you’re always hearing about the latest company that illegally sold, shared, or otherwise misused private information. This includes our property management software industry. Despite the ethical implications, it seems many companies are powerless to the pull of the profit they illegally earn from doing this. For related operational guidance, review property management tools and dashboards.
At ExactEstate, our commitment to users ensures we will never engage in such nefarious practices. With us, yours and your residents’ information is secure and never tendered for profit. Beyond this, we run our business on an ethical framework, which we proudly share in detail below.
What You Get When You Work With ExactEstate
1. No Disclosure of Sensitive Information
Companies, in the course of doing business, often accrue huge repositories of user data, including multifamily residential complexes, property managers, and PMS providers like us. In our field, that means data pertaining to renters and buyers, their credit scores and budgets, as well as properties, their cost/value, history, and much more. In an economy with increasingly unaffordable housing, that information can be used in extremely unethical ways.
We’ve also seen companies force users to jump through hoops to “opt-out” of having their data shared, burying the pages where they can do so because they want it to be hard for users to find. Worse, they sometimes force users to furnish an explanation about why they don’t want their information sold or shared. The notion of “opting out” shows that they situate privacy violations as a default, a norm.
At ExactEstate, our morals lie elsewhere:
