Google Analytics to understand website traffic and performance

Google Ads (including conversion tracking and remarketing, where enabled) to measure advertising performance and reach prospective residents
-
We may add other advertising and measurement platforms in the future (e.g., Meta). This Privacy Policy will apply to those uses as described below.

See Section 8 for opt-out rights where applicable.
4) Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (including pixels and tags) to operate our website, understand performance, and support marketing.
A. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies and similar technologies may collect information such as device identifiers, browser information, IP address, approximate location (derived from IP), and interactions with our website.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you block or delete cookies, some features of our website—especially Entrata-powered forms and portals—may not function properly.

Conversion tracking (to measure actions such as submitting an inquiry or scheduling a tour)

Remarketing (to show ads to visitors who have previously visited our website), where enabled
These tools may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and associate events with advertising identifiers.
D. Other advertising platforms (present and future)
We may use additional advertising and measurement partners (such as Meta in the future). These partners may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to collect or receive information from our website and elsewhere on the internet to provide measurement services and targeted advertising, subject to their policies and your choices.

Adjusting your browser cookie settings

5) Communications (Email, Text, and Calls)
If you provide your email address or phone number, we (and/or our service providers such as Entrata acting on our behalf) may contact you about:
-
Tours, availability, pricing, and leasing information

Application steps and status

Service and support communications you request
Text Messaging and Telephone Communications Consent

Consent is not a condition of purchase, leasing, or residency.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Text HELP for help and STOP to cancel.
We may use service providers (including Entrata and communications vendors) to deliver communications on our behalf. You can opt out of marketing text messages at any time by replying STOP. Opting out of marketing messages may not stop transactional or operational communications (such as appointment confirmations or legally required notices), where permitted by law.
