Corvias Group, LLC ("Corvias", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy. This privacy policy (this "Privacy Policy" or "Policy") explains how we collect, use, and treat information that we receive about you when we provide you with our services: (i) through our website (our "Website" or "Site"); (ii) by contacting us directly by phone, email, or other communications channels; or (iii) when visiting one of our physical properties. Our Privacy Policy applies to anyone using our services (collectively, the "Services").

1. Your Consent. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully because it creates legal obligations on you and us. You show your consent to this Privacy Policy by using our Website, visiting one of our locations, or otherwise using our Services. We may further confirm your consent by asking you to click an "I Accept" or similar button. In any event, by providing your consent, you are acknowledging that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy, and agree to be legally bound by it. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please refrain from using our Services.

2. Types of Information We Collect. We collect the categories of information described in this Section 2 (Types of Information We Collect).

     2.1. Personal Information. We use the term "Personal Information" to mean any information that identifies you as an individual, and any other information we associate with it. Personal Information that we may receive from you includes:

  • Your name, email address, and password;
  • Other contact information, including a physical address and phone number;
  • Lease application information;
  • Information about your spouse;
  • Your payment and billing information;
  • Information or feedback you provide in communications with us, such as through our Website or via social media, email, or text messages;
  • Your transactions with us.

If you provide us with any Personal Information relating to another individual, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

     2.2. Online Activity Information. We collect technical and device-related information through our Website and third party analytics tools we use (collectively, "Online Activity Information"). Sometimes Online Activity Information can be associated with your Personal Information. If any statutes, regulations, and any other laws that apply to the Services establish that Online Activity Information constitutes Personal Information, and such applicable law applies to information we collect from you, then we will treat the Online Activity Information as Personal Information.

    2.3. Anonymous Information. In addition to Personal Information, we may also have (i) information that does not identify you or your devices, and (ii) de-identified Personal Information that no longer identifies you (collectively, "Anonymous Information"). Information that meets either of these criteria might include, for example, demographic information, statistical information (e.g., page views and hit counts), and general tracking information. We use Anonymous Information for our business operations, for example, to improve our Services. Because Anonymous Information does not include Personal Information, any Anonymous Information is not subject to this Privacy Policy, including the rights and obligations associated other types of information that we collect about you, such as Personal Information.

     2.4. Disclosing Personal Information Where it is not Specifically Requested. If we have not specifically asked for your Personal Information in a particular portion of an online form or submission area on a paper form, then you should not provide any Personal Information in that portion of the form or submission area.

3. How We Collect Personal Information. As set out in this Section 3 (How We Collect Personal Information), we may collect information at different points when you use our Services (for example, when you request information, submit housing applications to us, or apply for jobs through our Website), including when you fill out a housing application or submit a maintenance request. In some instances, we may also receive information about you from third parties, such as our service providers.

     3.1. Account Registration; User Names. In order to access information, products, and services on our Website that are limited to registered users, we require that you complete a registration form. This form asks for certain Personal Information.

We allow you to visit our Site and review other information about our Services without revealing your identity or otherwise providing Personal Information. In that case, the only information that we collect from your visit will be Online Activity Information or Anonymous Information.

You can contact us with questions or comments using the contact methods available on our Website, using the information provided in Section 16 (Contact Us), or submitting a written request to us. In order to communicate with us, you must provide certain Personal Information. We may use Personal Information and other information submitted to provide you with the information, products and services (such as housing services and maintenance services) that you have requested.

In the employment section of our Website and through other public job postings, we may invite you to apply for employment opportunities with us by submitting your Personal Information, employment information, resume and other, similar kinds of information.

Because we receive a large volume of applications, we do not guarantee that we will contact you after you submit an employment application. Additionally, it may be necessary or advisable for us to use Personal Information to verify employment eligibility through the E-Verify system.

      3.5. Verifying Identity. When you request a product, service, or information from us, we may use Personal Information (and other information that we have about you) to verify your identity and to process your request.

You agree that we may use and adapt your Submitted Content (including, but not limited to, your name, military rank (if applicable), state of residency, experiences with us, and other provided feedback) for these purposes and without the need for compensation.

We may receive information from third parties such as advertising and marketing partners, public databases (e.g., National Change of Address records), and social media platforms, to supplement the information we have about you. If we do so, this Privacy Policy governs how we can use that information.
