ezLandlordForms’ TenantAPP Privacy Statement and Terms and Conditions

In using the EzLandlordForms’ TenantAPP web site, you agree to the terms and conditions and privacy statements contained herein. Any updates shall be posted and all users of the web site are encouraged to check for changes.
EzLandlordForms’ TenantAPP is firmly committed to respecting the consumer's right to privacy and has created this privacy statement to demonstrate our commitment. This policy may change from time to time. Please check this page each time you use our Website for the most current information.

The Information We Collect from You

EzLandlordForms’ TenantAPP, in collaboration with Trans Union ("TURSS"), allows you to authorize a third party (e.g. your landlord's) to access your credit report, public record information, and related data ("Consumer Report Information") conveniently and affordably through our Web site. We collect your personal information only if you decide to authorize third party access to your Consumer Report Information, purchase one of our products or services, subscribe to our emails or newsletter, participate in one of our contests or surveys or transact other business with us. In order to process your transactions and provide you with quality customer service, we need your full name and current and/or billing address, your email address (so we can contact you) and, if you are requested to pay for a third party's access to your Consumer Report Information, a valid credit card number, your Social Security number and certain other personal information, such as your date of birth, address information, employment information, and certain credit card and loan account information. We use personal information to authenticate the credit card number and to confirm that the person requesting your Consumer Report Information really is you and not an impostor or other person improperly seeking to access your information.

Security

EzLandlordForms’ TenantAPP takes precautions to secure your personal information. If and when we ask you to provide your personal information, we will do so through a Web page that uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. This protocol provides security for your information by encrypting it as it travels from your computer to our computer. For security purposes we then move all of the personal information that we collect or obtain about you, including your Consumer Report Information, to an environment on our proprietary network that has controls in place to limit access to and secure the data maintained therein.

Emails

For EzLandlordForms’ TenantAPP renters that are requested to pay for a third party's access to your Consumer Report information, will be emailed a receipt upon request. Additionally, the EzLandlordForms’ TenantAPP service will facilitate communication between you and the third party for whom you have authorized access to your Consumer Report Information-this communication will be provided both through the EzLandlordForms’ TenantAPP website and through emails. These emails are part of the EzLandlordForms’ TenantAPP service and cannot be disabled.

Ordering

When you agree to share your Consumer Report Information, TURSS will share that information with the identified third parties. TURSS also must share some of your personal information with third parties in order to process your transaction. For example, TURSS must share your name, address and social security number with one or more of the national credit reporting agencies in order to obtain your requested Consumer Report Information, and must share your name, address and credit card account number with our credit card processing partner in order to process your payment. These third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services to TURSS.

Updating Your Consumer Report Information

EzLandlordForms’ TenantAPP and TURSS is not responsible for and cannot amend the information in your credit report, which is produced by one or more consumer reporting agencies. If you believe that some of the information in your credit report is inaccurate, you must contact the applicable consumer reporting agency directly. You can dispute an inaccuracy with TransUnion in one of two ways: You can quickly and easily dispute online with TransUnion at the following link: https://www.transunion.com/corporate/personal/creditDisputes.page. You also can file a dispute via mail at the following address. We recommend using a certified letter and keeping copies of any receipts and supporting documentation.

If any part of the rental payment service terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced with a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these terms will continue in effect.
