Third Parties
Except as otherwise expressly included herein, this Privacy Policy addresses only

parties. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information
to others.
Rentzzz.com has links to other websites that may collect personal information about
you. Rentzzz.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
those linked websites.
Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal Information
You can see, review and change most of your personal information by logging into
Rentzzz.com and editing your account profile. Generally, we will not manually modify
your personal information because it is very difficult to verify your identity remotely.
You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate.
Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your personal information
from view as soon as reasonably possible based on your account activity and in accordance
with applicable law. We do retain personal information from closed accounts in order
to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot
problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use, and for purposes
otherwise permitted by law.
Account Protection
Your password is the key to your account. Use unique numbers, letters and special
characters, and do not disclose your Rentzzz.com password to anyone. If you do share
your password or your personal information with others, remember that you are responsible
for all actions taken in the name of your account. If you lose control of your password,
you may lose substantial control over your personal information and may be subject
to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has
been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify Rentzzz.com and change
your password.
Security
Your information (other than credit card information) is stored on our servers.
We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use many tools (encryption,
passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your personal information against
unauthorized access and disclosure. However, third parties may unlawfully intercept
or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or
misuse your personal information that they collect from Rentzzz.com. Therefore,
although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should
not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always
remain private.
