Welcome to the web site or mobile application (as the case may be) (collectively, the "Platform") of Omigoe Inc. (including its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, and service providers, collectively, "HelloRented", "we", "us" and/or "our"). This Platform is operated by HelloRented and has been created to provide information about our company and our online platform designed to permit users to apply for the HelloRented security deposit replacement service or other credit related products (together with the Platform, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy sets forth how HelloRented collects, uses, processes, and discloses information, including personal data ("Personal Data") and other information, in conjunction with your access to and use of the Platform and the Services.
When you interact with us through the Services, we may collect Personal Data and other information from you, as further described below:
Personal Data That You Provide Through the Services: We collect Personal Data from you (including, but not limited to, your name, email address, email content and location) when you voluntarily provide such information by registering for access to the Services as an applicant for the HelloRented security deposit replacement service. Wherever HelloRented collects Personal Data we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy.
We collect this Personal Data for the purposes of providing the Services to you, as well as providing customer service, conducting research and improving the Services. For more details on why we collect your Personal Data and how we use it, please see the section below entitled “Our use of Personal Data and other information.” While you are under no obligation to provide any Personal Data, should you choose to withhold such information, we may not be able to provide you with some or all of the Services.
By voluntarily providing us with Personal Data, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data to the Services, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of HelloRented and the authorized third parties referred to herein.
Non-Personal Data: When you interact with HelloRented through the Services, we automatically receive and store certain non-identifiable personal information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. Examples of this non-identifiable personal information include the type of internet browser or mobile device you use, any website from which you have come to the Services, your operating system, location data (which is anonymous and where you log in through the Platform you will be asked if you consent to the Services accessing your location, which can be updated at any time in your device settings) (“Non-Personal Data”). HelloRented may store such Non-Personal Data itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by HelloRented affiliates, agents or service providers. The Services may use such Non-Personal Data to assist us in providing effective Services and to collect broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Aggregated Data: In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, HelloRented often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data, Non-Personal Data, and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on a de-identified, aggregate basis, and HelloRented may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents, and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. HelloRented may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
Location Information: When you use the Services to apply for a security deposit replacement, the Services may request that you provide residential address. We may also use your location information in an aggregate way, as described above in the "Aggregated Data" section.
Email Integrations: The Services may collect Personal Data relating to third parties stored in your email and mobile device address books, including, without limitation, names, email content, email addresses, and phone numbers (collectively, “Third-Party Personal Data”). The Services may request your permission to access such Third-Party Personal Data. To take advantage of this feature, we will ask you to log into or grant us permission via the relevant Email Service. When you add an Email Services account to the Services or log into the Services using your Email Services account, we will collect relevant information necessary to enable the Services to access that Email Service and your data contained within that Email Service. As part of such integration, the Email Service will provide us with access to certain content and information that you have provided to the Email Service, and we will use, store, and disclose such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, please remember that the manner in which Email Services use, store, and disclose your information is governed by the policies of such third parties, and HelloRented shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any Email Services that may be enabled within the Services.

In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future marketing communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our marketing mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below.
We may also use your Personal Data and Third-Party Personal Data to send communications relating to the Services, in accordance with applicable laws.

Also, if you use any feature of the Services permitting you to communicate with third parties (such as to refer a roommate to the Services), either by submitting Third-Party Personal Data to the Services or otherwise permitting the Services to automatically access Third-Party Personal Data in your possession, you acknowledge and agree that you have the authority of the relevant third party for us to access and use the relevant Third-Party Personal Data and that you have notified these third parties and informed them how their information is collected and used by HelloRented to provide the Services. We reserve the right to identify you as the person who has made the referral in any messages that are sent to them. We may use Third-Party Personal Data to (1) contact such third party using the Third-Party Personal Data provided, and/or (2) provide you with an editable template message designed to facilitate communication between you and such third party through the Services. In addition to sending the foregoing communications, we may also send reminders or related messages to you and to third parties on your behalf from time to time where permitted by applicable law. In each case, any such communications sent to third parties using Third-Party Personal Data will provide a means to "opt-out" of receiving further communication of the same nature.
If HelloRented intends on using any Personal Data in any manner or for any purpose that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, we will obtain your prior informed consent as required by applicable law.
HelloRented is not in the business of selling your information. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:
Business Transfers: As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets.
Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties: HelloRented, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information and maintaining databases. When we employ another entity to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function and require them to only use the information for the purposes for which it was collected.
Legal Requirements: HelloRented may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of HelloRented, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability.
