Technical and usage information
Hosting, security, and analytics services may process limited technical information such as your Internet Protocol address, browser type, device information, requested page, referring page, date and time, and user-agent string. This information may be used to operate the website, understand aggregate usage, troubleshoot problems, maintain security, and reduce spam or abuse.
Cookies and analytics
The website may use cookies and similar technologies to understand site usage, maintain functionality, remember basic preferences, and measure marketing performance. Analytics and advertising providers may set or read their own cookies under their privacy practices. You can configure your browser to refuse or delete cookies, although some functions may be affected.
Embedded content and external services
The website links to services such as AppFolio, social platforms, analytics providers, maps, and other third-party websites. Visiting or interacting with those services may allow the third party to collect information or use cookies as though you visited its website directly. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies.
How information is used
Information may be used to respond to inquiries, prepare Portfolio Reviews, provide property-management and real-estate services, communicate with owners and residents, maintain business records, operate and improve the website, measure performance, prevent misuse, and comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
Information sharing
Fowler states that it does not sell or rent personal information. Limited information may be shared with trusted providers that support hosting, database storage, communications, analytics, spam prevention, property-management software, and professional services. Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or complete a business transaction.
Retention and security
Form information may be retained as long as reasonably needed to respond, provide requested services, maintain business and compliance records, resolve disputes, and meet legal, security, or operational requirements. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Do not send sensitive financial, account, or identity information through general website forms.
