This ("Policy") describes how www.LeaseTown.com and J&Y Business Group DBA www.LeaseVille.com and its affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions (collectively "LeaseTown", "we", "our" or "us") collect, use, and share your information. This Policy does not cover the collection of mobile device information for website analytics.
LeaseTown takes the privacy of its customers and visitors to its websites very seriously. We understand that you may have questions about how we collect, use, and share your information. This Policy describes the type of information we collect, how we use and share that information, how we protect that information, your choices regarding that information, and how you can contact us with any questions.
We collect Personal Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information ("NPI") as defined below. We collect Personal Information and NPI about our customers and website visitors in primarily three ways: directly from our customer or website visitor (for example, when leasing products from us or from entering your information online), from our web server & application logs, cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies, and from third-parties.
We use your Personal Information and NPI primarily to provide you with our products and services, to ensure quality of service, to contact you, to provide you with offers or information about our products and services, and to provide you with a personalized website experience. We do not share with others any Personal Information unless we say so in this Policy or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
We share your Personal Information and NPI with our affiliates, subsidiaries, and divisions. We also share your Personal Information and NPI with our service providers and other third-parties as described below. We may also share your Personal Information and NPI to meet our obligations to technology and content providers or as required by law.
If you do not want to receive information about our products or services, please update your account preferences (where available) and/or utilize the "unsubscribe" or "opt-out" mechanism within the communications that you receive from us.
If you have any additional questions or concerns related to this Policy, you may:
We have implemented certain appropriate security measures to help protect your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Despite these measures, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will always be unable to defeat our security measures.
We collect two main categories of information from or about you: Personal Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information ("NPI").
We define Personal Information as information that directly identifies an individual such as name, residential street address or postal address, email address, social security number, date of birth, driver's license number, government-issued identification number, phone number, credit card number, bank account, or other financial institution account number.
We define Non-Personally Identifiable Information or NPI as information about an individual or about categories or groups of individuals that does not identify you individually, such as your IP address, randomly assigned values in "cookies," mobile device identifiers, geo-location, and other technical information. We also collect other information that may not identify you individually, such as your gender, vehicle information, occupation, and other employment information, personal references, and residence-related information such as lease and ownership information, and other information.
We may collect Personal Information from you in a variety of ways. For example, we collect information you provide when you seek to lease or buy our products. We may also collect Personal Information from or about you when you visit a website owned or operated by LeaseTown, or when you use our mobile applications, visit social media websites, encounter LeaseTown at an event, or enter a promotion we offer.
On occasion, we use third-parties to provide us with additional Personal Information about you. For example, if we know your name and postal address, we may use a third-party to provide us with your email address. In addition to what is described below, we use this information for market analysis, marketing, and other business purposes, including enforcement of contractual obligations. We may also collect Personal Information about you from consumer and/or credit reporting agencies, your personal references, and from our corporate entities, among others. If you provide Personal Information to us regarding others, we rely on you to obtain that other person's consent for disclosing their information to us and to inform that other person about how we will use the information and our contact details for any queries.
In addition to what is described below, we collect NPI through many sources, including from information that you and third-parties provide to us.
When you visit our websites, we may collect information about your visit, which are records of the activities on our website. Our servers automatically capture and save the information electronically. Examples of the information that we may collect, or that third-parties (including third-parties involved in online interest-based advertising operations) may collect while you navigate our website include but are not limited to:
The information we collect helps us administer the website, analyze its usage, protect the website and its content from inappropriate use, and improve the visitor's experience. The information may also be used for marketing purposes and may uniquely distinguish your browser or computer from others' devices.
In order to offer and provide a customized and personal service, we may use cookies to store and help track information about you. A cookie is a small data string that a web server stores on your computer or mobile device. (A web server is the computer that hosts a website and responds to requests received from your computer). Cookies can play an important role in providing a good customer experience using the web. Among other things, cookies enable a website to maintain continuity when a visitor's web browser requests a series of web pages. Without cookies, for example, a website owner may not be able to recognize that a visitor just completed the first step during an online ordering process so that the second step can be presented.
Cookies also enable advertising. Navigating our website will result in the placement of various advertising-related cookies by third-parties on your computer or device. These cookies allow web servers involved in advertising operations to recognize your browser as you navigate to other websites and are necessary for the online delivery or placement of certain ads. Some third-parties involved in ad operations may maintain their own proprietary consumer databases that allow them to personally identify or track website visitors.
Cookies generally hold various types of information, including randomly assigned unique identifiers, which allow websites including websites covered by this Policy to customize your experiences on the websites and gather information about your navigation of the websites. We may use different kinds of cookies, including HTTP cookies (also known as browser cookies) and Local Shared Objects such as Flash cookies that are built for use with the Adobe® Flash® Player. We may also use similar technologies such as HTML5 local storage.
Information gathered from cookies helps us understand how our websites are performing and provides website usage information to support customizing and improving our websites and their messaging and advertisements. We also use cookies to help verify the identity of a website visitor or to recognize you as a return or registered visitor and remember your settings and preferences. Cookies allow us to save preferences for you so you won't have to reenter them each time you visit.
The use of cookies is relatively standard. Most browsers are initially set up to accept browser cookies. You can manage browser cookies by using features and functions available on most Internet browsers. For example, most browsers will allow you to choose what cookies can be placed on your computer and to delete or disable cookies. Flash Cookies, which by their nature are associated with Flash Player, may be removed by managing your settings with Adobe by visiting www.adobe.com.
You should understand that some features of many websites may not function properly if you block or don't accept cookies.
We may use web beacons, pixel tags, .gif files, and the like that allow for the collection of information about your interactions on our websites. These technologies may be used, for example, to place advertisements, to understand website traffic patterns and the number of visitors to our website, and to measure the effectiveness of advertisements or our website. Web beacons and the like also enable third-parties involved in advertising operations to recognize your browser as you navigate to other websites and are necessary for the online delivery or placement of certain types of ads.
Our website also includes social network or other third-party plug-ins and widgets that may provide information to their associated social networks or third-parties about LeaseTown's websites you visit even if you do not click on or otherwise interact with the plug-in or widget and regardless of whether you have an account or other relationship with these social networks and third-parties. Information is transmitted from your browser and may include an identifier assigned by the social network or third-party, information about your browser type, operating system, device type, IP address, and the URL of the web page where the plug-in or widget appears. If you use social network tools or visit social networking websites, you should read their privacy policies to learn what information they collect, use, and share.
LeaseTown's websites contain content, services, advertising, and other materials that link to websites operated by third-parties. We have no control over those other websites, and this Policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to refer to the privacy policies of those websites.
We use the Personal Information and NPI we collect from you for many purposes. For example, we use and share Personal Information and NPI to:
In addition to other sharing described in this section, we may disclose Personal Information and NPI: (i) in order to comply with laws or legal process, including subpoenas or agency orders and investigations which we determine are required under appropriate circumstances; (ii) as we reasonably determine necessary or appropriate to protect property, our rights or the rights of others; and (iii) to enforce our contracts, policies, and customer agreements.
We may also de-identify Personal Information (by removing certain data elements such as name, phone number, date of birth) that we receive from you or from third-parties so that it cannot be used to identify a specific individual.
We may transfer information covered by this Policy, including Personal Information, in connection with a merger or sale (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) of all or part of LeaseTown's business or as part of a corporate reorganization, stock sale, or other change in control.
We also share Personal Information and NPI with our affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, and service providers who provide services to us or on our behalf and agree to only use such information for the purpose for which it was provided and in accordance with this Policy.
We may also provide Personal Information and NPI to credit bureaus, third parties collecting amounts owed to us, and third parties to whom we assign your account for collection purposes.
We may also share the Personal Information with select third-party vendors, business partners, and other companies so that they can send you promotional materials about goods and services (including special offers and promotions) offered by them. After the information is provided to such third-parties, the subsequent use or disclosure of such information is subject to those third-parties' privacy policies and practices.
We may also use services hosted by third-parties to assist in providing our services and to help us understand our customers' use of our products. A third-party service may collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including, for example, your IP address, the third-party's cookies, or any of the other categories of information itemized under Online Activities above.
LeaseTown uses "interest-based" ads, also known as "online behavioral advertising" or "OBA." Online behavioral advertising is advertising that is directed to you based at least in part on your Internet browsing behavior across the web. Although we do not share Personal Information with the third-parties that conduct advertising operations on our behalf, these third-parties and their affiliates do collect certain information as a result of their "tags" being on our website. The information they collect includes the name (URL) of the web pages you view while on our site, your IP address, time of visit, information about your browser software, information about your device, and randomly-assigned identifiers stored in cookies which they use to target and serve advertising. LeaseTown uses third-parties that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), which prescribes certain norms of conduct and provides an opt-out for behaviorally targeted ads as discussed in "Your Options Regarding Personal Information" below.
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect against the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure of Personal Information and NPI. Although we take such precautions seriously, it is impossible for us or others to guarantee the safety and security of Personal Information and NPI.
This Policy may be updated periodically to reflect relevant changes in our information practices. We will post a notice on our website to inform you of significant changes to this Policy. We will also provide additional information regarding changes to this Policy as may be required by law.
You may request that we correct, update, or amend the Personal Information we hold about you. To update us regarding changes in your Personal Information, please contact us as described below.
You may elect to opt-out of receipt of email and text communications from us by following the instructions provided in such communications or by contacting us as provided below. Even after opting out, you may still receive service-oriented, non-promotional communications from us and promotional communications from other third-parties as a result of their own interactions or transactions with you. Please allow time for us to process your request or contact us should you have any concerns about your opt-out request.
Do-Not-Track. Do-Not-Track is a public-private initiative http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/ that has developed a technical "flag" or signal that an end-user may be able to activate within their browser software to notify websites that they do not wish to be "tracked" by 3rd parties as defined by the initiative. The initiative, however, has not reached a consensus as to exactly what technical or other actions those parties receiving the signal should take. As a result, Do-Not-Track has not yet been standardized, and most websites, including LeaseTown, do not alter their behavior or change their services when they receive a "do-not-track" flag or signal.
You can, however, make decisions about your privacy and the ads you receive. As explained in the section above "Sharing With Corporate Entities and Third-Parties", LeaseTown uses online behavioral advertising. You can control whether companies serve you behaviorally-based advertising by visiting the DAA web page and using the DAA's opt-out: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. The DAA opt-out requires that cookies not be blocked in your browser.
As an alternative to the DAA opt-out, you can also elect to block all cookies from first-parties (such as LeaseTown) and from third-parties (such as entities involved in advertising) by using the cookie blocking options built into your browser software. For example, in Internet Explorer 9, you can block both first and third-party cookies by selecting those options at Tools/Internet Options/Privacy/Settings-Advanced/Override Automatic Cookie Handling. As another example, if you are using Firefox 25, you can "uncheck" Accept All Cookies under Firefox Preferences/Privacy-Use Custom Settings For History/Accept Cookies from Sites.
Please note, however, that if you do decide to block cookies, some parts of our website may not function correctly.

To view the California Privacy Notice of Collection, please click here.
California residents have certain rights with respect to their Personal Information as described below. We are required by law to verify your identity in connection with any request in order to prevent unauthorized access of your data. LeaseTown will utilize consumer-provided personal and agreement-related information to verify the identity of said consumer against known LeaseTown customer information. This may require us to verify your identity by means of collecting personal information to compare with the information that we have on file. This data will be used solely for validation purposes and will not be stored separately. Please note that your exercise of these rights is subject to certain exemptions to safeguard the public interest (e.g., the prevention or detection of crime) and our interests (e.g., the maintenance of legal privilege). We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Requests to exercise these rights may be granted in whole, in part, or not at all depending on the scope and nature of the request and applicable law. Where required by applicable law, we will notify you if we reject your request and notify you of the reasons we are unable to honor your request.
Right to Know and Access Information: You may access Personal Information we maintain about you using the methods provided below. If we grant your request, we will provide you with a copy of the Personal Information we maintain about you in the ordinary course of business. This may include what Personal Information we collect, use, or disclose about you. We may not fulfill some or all of your request to access as permitted by applicable law.
Do Not Sell: We do not sell your Personal Information, including as defined by California law.
If you are a California resident, you may ask us to refrain from sharing Personal Information with third-parties for their own direct marketing purposes. Please indicate your preference by contacting us as described above. Please also note it may take us thirty (30) days to fully process your request.
Deletion of Personal Information: You may request that we delete your Personal Information. Depending on the scope of your request, we may refrain from granting your request as permitted by applicable law. For example, we may be legally required to retain your information in our business records. You may submit a deletion request by (email) Orders@LeaseTown.com (phone) 888-818-5591 (US Mail) LeaseTown, 1925 Century Park E, Suite 1700, Los Angeles, CA 90067.
Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you in terms of price or services that we offer if you submit one of the requests listed above.
Authorized Agent: California residents may use an authorized agent on their behalf to exercise a privacy right discussed above. If you are an authorized agent acting on behalf of a California resident to communicate with us or to exercise a privacy right discussed above, you must be able to demonstrate that you have the requisite authorization to act on behalf of the resident and have sufficient access to their laptop, desktop, or mobile device to exercise these rights digitally. If you are an authorized agent trying to exercise rights on behalf of a LeaseTown's user, please contact us at the contact information below with supporting verification information, which includes a valid Power of Attorney in the State of California, proof that you have access to the consumer’s interface, and proof of your own identity.
LeaseTown does not sell your personal information and will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale as required by law. Similarly, we do not offer financial incentives associated with our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information.
LeaseTown collects various categories of personal information when you use the Service, including identifiers, commercial information, internet or other electronic network or device activity information, geolocation data, and professional information. A more detailed description of the information LeaseTown collects and how we use it is provided above in Section 1 (Information We Collect and How We Use It). Section 3 (Third Parties) describes the categories of third-parties with whom we share personal information and what information may be shared under different circumstances.
If you are a resident of California, you have the right to request to know what personal information has been collected about you and to access that information. You also have the right to request deletion of your personal information, though exceptions under the CCPA may allow LeaseTown to retain and use certain personal information notwithstanding your deletion request. You can learn more about how to submit a data rights request by calling us at 888-818-5591. You may also send your request by email to Orders@LeaseTown.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. An agent may submit a request on your behalf, but you must verify that your agent is authorized to do so.
Separate from the CCPA, California’s Shine the Light law gives California residents the right to ask companies what personal information they share with third-parties for those third-parties' direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your personal information to third-parties for the purpose of directly marketing their goods or services to you unless you request such disclosure. If you have any questions regarding this policy or would like to change your preferences, you may contact us at the address listed above in Section 8.
Nevada law (SB 220) requires website operators to provide a way for Nevada consumers to opt-out of the sale of certain information that the website operator may collect about them. LeaseTown does not sell your personal information to third-parties as defined in Nevada law and will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale as required by law. If you have any questions regarding our data privacy practices or our compliance with Nevada data privacy law, please contact us by phone at 888-818-5591 or email Orders@LeaseTown.com.
