Disclosure of your personal data to others
We have never sold personal data. If we ever sell our company we may transfer your data to the buyer, but we will not sell your personal data separately from a sale of the related business assets.

We use third party services to help us manage our data and our services such as web site hosting companies, content hosting services, email providers, chat service providers, web forms services, customer relationship management services, and email marketing services. These third parties are permitted to use your personal data solely for the purpose of providing their services to us.
We may disclose your personal data to regulatory and law enforcement agencies when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or to protect the rights and safety of others, or in response to a subpoena or other compulsory legal process.

Communications Policy
If you do not want to receive our email you may unsubscribe by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by writing to us at the address above.
Advertising Ecosystem
We use online advertising services that enable a practice referred to as “online behavior advertising.” These services aggregate data about an individual’s behavior on many different sites and online services, and use that data to sell targeted advertising services. For example, we permit Google’s advertising services to collect data about your behavior on the Apartment Educators website, as do many other website operators who use Google’s ad services. Google combines the data about an individual that it collects from different sources, and uses this aggregate data to sell advertising services that target the display of ads to web users who meet certain behavioral criteria. Google does not disclose this aggregate data to Apartment Educators, but we are able to infer that users who interact with our ad meet the advertising criteria we provided. Google collects this data using cookies, web server logs (its own and its advertising customers), clear gifs and other online data collection techniques. See Online Data Collection Techniques and How to Opt Out of Online Data Collection.
Online Data Collection Techniques
A cookie is a unique alphanumeric identifier that is placed by a web server on the web visitor’s browser. Cookies are used to analyze visitors’ use of the website. For example, a website operator can use the cookie to identify the number of unique visitors to the site, whether or not those visitors are repeat visitors, and information about the visitor’s activity on the site, device and device settings. A tracking pixel, also known as a web bug or web beacon, is a small graphic (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) invisible to the eye, that is embedded in web content or email. When content that has an embedded web beacon is viewed, the browser will request content from a web server, which in turn will set a cookie.
How To Opt Out Of Online Data Collection
You can manage browser cookies through your browser settings. The 'Help' feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, how to disable cookies, and when cookies will expire. If you disable all cookies on your browser, neither we nor third parties will transfer cookies to your browser. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some features and services may not work.
Our web server does not recognize or respond to any “do not track” setting you may have in your browser.
The third parties who we permit to collect data on our site for their own use have features that allow you to block their data collection via cookies. See their privacy policies and cookie policies:

Changes to our Privacy Policy
If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post the modified Privacy Policy on this page, and update the Privacy Policy modification date stated at the top of the policy. We will manage your personal data in accordance with the version of the Privacy Policy that was posted at the time we collected the data.
