3. Sharing with Our Partner Network
A core part of Our Service is connecting short-term rental investors with the professionals they need — real estate agents, lenders, property managers and other Partners. This section explains what that means for Your information. It applies whenever You request an introduction, submit an inquiry or lead form, request a report or analysis, or otherwise ask Us to connect You with a Partner.
Who We Share With
We may share Your information with Partners including real estate agents, brokerages and other real estate professionals; lenders, mortgage brokers and other financing providers; property managers and short-term rental operators; and insurance, tax, legal and similar service providers who support short-term rental investors. We may share with more than one Partner in a category, and We may introduce You to additional Partners over time as Your needs change — for example, introducing You to a lender after You have been connected with an agent.
What We Share
- —Contact and request information — Your name, email address, phone number, and the substance of Your request — such as the markets, property types, price ranges or timelines You told Us about.
- —Information You provide through Our tools — Information You enter into Our calculators, analyses, reports and forms, where that information is relevant to the introduction or service You requested.
- —Source and campaign information — Information about how You reached Us and which page or tool You submitted Your request from — such as referral source, campaign parameters, and the page You were on — which We attach to Your request so We and Our Partners can respond in context.
- —Engagement Information — High-level status about where You are in Your process — for example, that You are actively searching, that You have or have not responded to outreach, or that You are touring properties or under contract.
Information We Receive from Partners, and Updates Between Partners
Partners may share information back with Us about their interactions with You — for example, whether they reached You, whether You are actively engaged, and the general stage of Your process. We use that information to operate and improve the Service, to measure the quality of Our introductions, and to support You.
We may share updates on Your progress with the agents, lenders and other Partners You have been connected with, including Engagement Information that originates from a different Partner. For example, if an agent You are working with tells Us that You are actively touring properties, We may let a lender You were introduced to know that You are actively engaged, so that they can support You at the right time. This means information about You may flow between Us and Partners in both directions, and between one Partner and another through Us, after Your initial introduction — not only at the moment of that introduction.
Limits on What We Share
Updates We pass between Partners are limited to general Engagement Information. We do not share deal terms, offer amounts, negotiation details, credit information, or financial account, income or asset information that We receive from a Partner with another Partner, unless You ask Us to or otherwise direct that sharing. Information You choose to give a Partner directly is governed by that Partner's own privacy policy.
How Partners Use Your Information
Partners are independent businesses. Once We share Your information with a Partner, that Partner uses it for its own purposes and under its own privacy policy, and We do not control that use. Partners may contact You directly, including by email, phone call or text message. Lenders and other financial institutions are separately subject to financial privacy laws and will provide You with their own privacy notices. We encourage You to review the privacy policy of any Partner You engage with.
Your Choices
You can ask Us at any time to stop sharing Your information with Partners, to stop sending status updates about You to a specific Partner, or to remove You from Our partner network entirely, by contacting Us at product@getchalet.com. You may also ask a Partner directly to stop contacting You. Honoring Your request going forward does not undo sharing that has already occurred, and does not require a Partner to delete information it already holds — You would need to contact that Partner directly. Depending on where You live, You may have additional rights to access, delete, correct, or limit the sharing of Your Personal Data; contact Us at the address above to exercise them.
4. Children's Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.
If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.
5. Links to Other Websites
Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.
6. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
We will let You know via email and/or a prominent notice on Our Service, prior to the change becoming effective, and update the “Last updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
