While these websites are built using our Platforms, and Client Data obtained through these websites are stored on our systems, this data is considered Client Data and is governed by our Clients’ privacy notices/policies.
Finally, our Entrata Sites may contain links to other third-party websites. The information practices and content of such third-party websites are governed by their own privacy notices. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of such third-party websites to understand their information practices.

INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS
The information and rights in this section apply specifically to California residents.
In compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Entrata does not sell, trade, or rent any Personal Information, nor have we done so in the preceding twelve months. Entrata has not sold the Personal Information of minors under 16 years of age without first attaining affirmative authorization.
California residents are entitled to contact us to request information about whether we have disclosed Personal Information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Currently Entrata does not disclose Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Thus, upon receipt of such a request by a California consumer, and as required by California state law, we will respond with either (1) a confirmation that we have not disclosed any Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the previous calendar year, or (2) if our practices have changed, provide a list of all third parties to whom Personal Information was disclosed for their direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year, whichever is relevant. California consumers may request further information about our compliance with this law by emailing us at dataprivacy@entrata.com.
Under the CCPA, California consumers have various rights regarding the Personal Information that Entrata’s clients collect and process using Entrata’s platforms.
Note: These rights are generally exercisable against Entrata’s Clients and not against Entrata because Entrata is acting as a Service Provider to our Clients. These rights are only exercisable directly against Entrata when we are determining the purposes and means of processing of your Personal Information (which we generally only do if you are an employee of one of our Clients or someone we are sending marketing communications to). Thus, the description provided below is for your and our Clients’ convenience – please reach out to our Clients directly if you wish to exercise any of these rights. Some of the information that our Clients are required to provide to you can be found in various sections of this Privacy Policy, or in our Clients’ respective privacy notices.
California consumers have the right to:
- Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information that a Business has collected about you.
- Request disclosure of the categories of third-party sources, if any, from which a Business has collected Personal Information about you.
- Disclosure of the Business or Commercial Purpose(s) for which your Personal Information has been collected.
- Receive a list of the categories of third parties with whom a business has shared your Personal Information.
- Request that a business delete any Personal Information that it has collected from you (subject to exceptions).
- Not be discriminated against by a business (e.g. charged different rates, provided different levels of service, denied goods or services, or suggested any of the preceding) for exercising any of the individual rights granted above.
- Designate an authorized agent to exercise any of the individual rights granted above, on your behalf.
- Opt-out of the sale of Personal Information, if applicable.
To exercise any of your rights as a California consumer, you should contact the Client with which you have a direct relationship, or contact Entrata directly if your relationship is only with us (e.g. personnel of our Clients or our potential Clients) by sending an email to dataprivacy@entrata.com.
Before complying with your request, our Clients (or Entrata) may need to verify that it is you that is making the request. To accomplish this, you (or your authorized agent) may be requested to (1) confirm specific pieces of Personal Information that our Clients (or Entrata) already know about you, or (2) provide our Clients (or Entrata) with appropriate identification depending on the sensitivity of the information requested. California consumers are limited to two requests for Personal Information per twelve-month period.
END USERS’ PERSONAL INFORMATION
Our Clients who utilize our Platforms to create property management websites are responsible for what they do with the Personal Information they collect, directly or through Entrata’s Platforms, about their End Users. If our Clients utilize our payment processing functions, your payment information may be processed via third party payment processors in accordance with such payment processors’ terms and policies. We transmit your complete payment information when you initiate a payment through the Entrata Platform. We collect this information only so that we can pass it along to our payment processors, which you agree to use by submitting a payment through the Entrata Platform. Where we collect your payment card information, we will comply with all applicable Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS).
