We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in data, or messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We may provide this information to messaging providers, including Twilio, only as needed to deliver and support WsuLiving messages; those providers may not use it for their own marketing. This SMS-specific restriction applies over any general language elsewhere in this policy about sharing information with affiliates, subcontractors, advertising partners, or marketing providers.We do not rent, sell, or share Users’ information with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy.


We may use the information for the following:

  • To communicate with you and to keep you informed of our latest updates and services;
  • Conducting statistical and analytical purposes, intended to improve the Site.



Rental Applications, Agreements and Records

This Privacy Policy also covers the rental application, signing and communications system at apply.wsuliving.com.

We use application information, rental documents, signatures and payment records to process applications, prepare and administer agreements, manage rental obligations, communicate with tenants and cosigners, and maintain our business records.

Completed tenant and cosigner application packets include both parties’ information and signatures and are shared with those parties and WsuLiving. Household lease documents are shared with the parties to that lease.



 


Service Providers and Information Sharing

We use service providers, including IONOS for website hosting and data storage and Twilio for text messaging, to help operate our website and provide our rental services. These providers may process information on our behalf as needed to perform those services.

Tenant Contact Information and Tenancy-Related Disclosures

When requested by police or Westfield State University officials, we may provide tenant names and telephone numbers for legitimate tenancy-related, public-safety or official investigative purposes, where authorized by the tenant or otherwise permitted or required by law. We verify the requester’s identity and limit the information disclosed to what is reasonably needed for the request.

We may contact a tenant’s cosigner about obligations covered by the cosigner agreement and a designated emergency contact about an emergency. We may contact parents or guardians about tenancy concerns when authorized by the tenant or otherwise permitted by law.

These disclosures are not for marketing or promotional purposes. We do not provide text-message opt-in or consent records to police or university officials merely because they request tenant contact information.
