Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy was last updated on November 13, 2024.

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through: (1) the Fairchild VR website operated by Fairchild PM, LLC and its affiliates (referred to herein as “Fairchild Vacation Rentals”, “we”, “us”, or “our”),; (2) other websites and online services that we own, operate, or make available and that link to the Privacy Policy and (3) to all other general enquiries we receive (including postal mail, electronic mail, telephone requests and in person).

Fairchild VR recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of individual-specific information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or device (“Personal Information”) particularly our consumer users (referred to as “you” or “your” in this Privacy Policy). This Privacy Policy describes what Personal Information we gather, how we use it, how it is shared and how you can correct, change and limit our use of it. If you are asked to submit registration details via this site, you may be requested to agree to additional terms regarding our use of your Personal Information, and those additional terms will apply in that context. Any additional terms will be provided for your review at the time of registration. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy before you send or share Personal Information with us or use our websites. We also encourage you to read it again when you return to our websites.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES Fairchild VR COLLECT?

We collect the Personal Information described in general terms below. For greater detail, we have set out in Appendix 1 details of the categories of Personal Information we have processed over the last twelve (12) months.

The type of Personal Information we collect will depend upon what we will need to provide you with the product or service you are interested in.

Prospective residents may be asked to provide the following information: first and last name, primary phone number, email address, the apartment size you are looking for (number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms), where you want to live (e.g., city and state or community name), the type of building you prefer, your proposed rent budget, move-in date, desired lease term, and whether or not you have pets (if so, what type), and any additional comments you wish to provide.

Current residents of Fairchild VR may be asked to provide an apartment number, first and last name, phone number, email address, reason for contacting us, and any additional comments.

Our residential communities may have their own separate sites and we may use separate sites for the processing of rental applications and agreements and to assist our residents with other tasks which are required or helpful to them, such as paying rent online. You will move away from this site when engaging in those activities and those sites will have their own privacy policies, and so please review that privacy policy before using those separate sites. See also Third-Party Site Links below.

For those interested in booking corporate housing stays, you can view available listings on our Fairchild VR general websites. We use separate sites for booking corporate stays and you will be redirected to those websites, which have their own privacy policy.

For those interested in applying for employment at Fairchild VR, the following Personal Information may be requested or obtained: name and address, age or date of birth, email address, occupation, employment information, telephone number, educational background and Social Security/national insurance number, credit checks, background checks and employment verification. Where legally required, we will obtain your consent before undertaking these checks.

Once a candidate accepts a position, the candidate may be asked to complete further online details. This may include an invitation to self-identify ethnicity or race. This information is only collected in relation to positions in some jurisdictions and we do this to meet government reporting requirements. Provision of this information by candidates is voluntary and it is not collected where it would be unlawful for us to do so.

We may receive information about you, including Personal Information, from third parties. For example, if you are on another website and you opt-in to receive information from us, that website will forward to us your email address and other information about you so that we may contact you as requested.

USAGE TRACKING: USE OF IP ADDRESSES

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are using the Internet. Web servers, the main computers that serve up web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. As permitted under applicable law, Fairchild VR collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, gathering and analyzing aggregated information, creating a better experience for users and auditing the use of our sites. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us. We will seek to link your IP address when we feel it is necessary to protect our sites and other users from harm and to prevent criminal misconduct. Please see the section on Use of “Cookies.”

USE OF “COOKIES”

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make web use easier for you by saving your preferences while you are at our sites. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you will find them at most major websites. By showing how and when users use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to our sites are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies only to provide services better tailored to your needs and for the protection of our websites and users from potential harm. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies.

We use persistent tracking cookies on our websites which are cookies that stay in your web browser between visits. These cookies can also be used to show us which sites you have visited before entering our sites and which sites you may go to if you leave, especially if you access the registered user parts of our sites by using your social media login credentials. We use these to capture analytical information about our visitors that helps us to improve the performance of our website and create a better experience. These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors, to provide content related to a prior visit to our websites, to see how visitors move around the sites and the products and services they are interested in when they are using them and to see what other types of products and services they may be interested in. This helps us to improve the way our websites work, for example by making sure users are finding what they need easily.

We may also use cookies which allow us or third parties to advertise our products and services on websites that you access after you have visited our sites. You may also see advertisements from us if other websites you visit capture through a cookie that you have been on our sites.

These ad preference cookies are often used by search engine sites. Our cookies can be disabled as indicated below. To prevent this advertising, you may also need to review the cookies disabling information on the other sites you visit.

Most browsers are set up to accept cookies. If you want to change your cookie preferences, you can do so through your browser settings or refuse the cookies when you enter any of our websites. You may also limit the information we gain from certain cookies by logging directly into the registered areas of our sites rather than by logging in by using your social media login credentials. Please remember that our cookies are often used to give you certain functionality and without them you may not be able to use some of our websites.

You can also remove cookies that have already been set in your browser via your browser settings.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE SHARE OR DISCLOSE?

Generally, Fairchild VR will not disclose Personal Information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe, in good faith, that the law requires our disclosure. We may also disclose Personal Information for business operations as described below.

We do not share your Personal Information with third parties, unless:

BUSINESS TRANSITIONS

If Fairchild VR goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling all or part of its assets, users’ Personal Information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. By using our websites and providing your Personal Information, you consent to this transfer, provided use of the Personal Information will remain in accordance with the Privacy Policy in place at the time of the transfer.

THIRD-PARTY SITE LINKS

You should be aware that when you are on an Fairchild VR website you could be directed to other third-party sites that are beyond our control, including, without limitation, to the websites of residential communities. There are links to other sites from Fairchild VR, which take you outside our service. For example, if you “click” on a banner, an advertisement or a search result, the “click” may take you off the Fairchild VR sites. These other sites may include sites of other advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use their logo with ours as part of a co-branding agreement.

These other sites may send their own cookies to visitors to collect data or solicit information. Fairchild VR does not control these sites and therefore is not responsible for their content. The  inclusion of hyperlinks to any other sites by Fairchild VR does not imply any endorsement of the material on such sites, nor any association with their operators.

Fairchild VR policies do not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, which is beyond our control. Remember that whenever you give out Personal Information online, that information may be collected and used by people you do not know.

SECURING INFORMATION

Fairchild VR takes reasonable technical and organizational measures in accordance with applicable laws to safeguard users’ Personal Information. While Fairchild VR strives to protect your Personal information and therein your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any Personal Information you disclose online, and you therefore disclose such Personal Information at your own risk.

We limit access to Personal Information to those individuals and organizations who we believe reasonably need to receive such information to provide our services or to do their jobs, and we take the precautions we deem reasonable to protect the security of users’ Personal Information.

However, as in many computer systems, internet applications and software programs, unauthorized use, failure of hardware or software, etc. may be injurious to the confidentiality of users’ Personal Information.

Because the security of all Personal Information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us, we periodically review and improve our security when new technology becomes available. This includes use of software which encrypts (generally processed at 256 bits) or distorts data submitted to us relating to an online Rental Application or employment application. If users have any questions about security, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Information” section.

EMAIL CONSENT AND OPT-OUT

Your provision of Personal Information through any of our registration forms on our sites constitutes your affirmative consent that we may contact you by email to provide you with information and notices relating to the property where you reside, on various similar services available to you at or through that property and on various other properties that may be available and of interest to you in the future. It also means we may email you regarding updates to this Privacy Policy.

You may choose to opt out of receiving future commercial email messages from us. Each mass commercial email sent by us contains a link with instructions on how to remove yourself from our email list. Please note that if you are a resident of an Fairchild VR community and you use this site and your community site, you will need to opt-out of your community site separately. You will also need to opt-out separately from any third-party sites you have registered with. Please see the section on Third-Party Site Links.

For users residing in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Fairchild VR relies on the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses (controller-to-controller) (2004/915//EC) to govern the transfer of Personal Information from these countries to countries outside of the European Economic Area and/or the United Kingdom.

CORRECTING AND DEACTIVATING PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may have the right under applicable privacy laws to request that Fairchild VR inform you as to whether Personal Information relating to you is being processed. Subject to certain exceptions under applicable privacy laws, you may also have the right to request that Fairchild VR correct, supplement, delete or block your Personal Information if the data are factually inaccurate, incomplete or irrelevant to the purposes of the processing activities or if the Personal Information is being processed in any other way which infringes a legal provision.
