Last updated: June 16, 2026

1. Introduction

RentManistee.com is a registered assumed name (DBA) of a Michigan limited liability company. In this policy, "RentManistee.com," "we," "us," and "our" refer to that company. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website and services, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, property address, and message contents when you submit a contact or consultation form, call us, or email us.
• Rental application information, when you apply for a rental through our property management platform, which may include employment, income, rental history, and background screening information collected and processed in accordance with applicable law.
• Automatically collected information, such as IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring URLs, approximate geographic location, and analytics identifiers, collected through standard web server logs, cookies, and the analytics tools described below.

3. Form Submissions

Forms on this website are processed by Netlify, our website hosting and form processing provider. Information submitted through our forms is transmitted to and stored by Netlify and delivered to us by email. We use form submissions solely to respond to your inquiry and provide our services.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use our pages. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. The analytics tools described below set their own first-party cookies. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.

5. Analytics: Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google Search Console

We use Google services to understand how our website is found and used so we can improve it:

• Google Tag Manager is a tag management system we use to load the analytics tools listed below. Google Tag Manager itself does not collect personal information, but it deploys the tags that do.
• Google Analytics 4 helps us understand site traffic and visitor behavior. It uses first-party cookies and similar identifiers to collect information such as your IP address, device and browser type, the pages you visit, the approximate geographic area you are visiting from, referring websites, and how you interact with our pages. This information is processed by Google on our behalf. We have configured Google Analytics for website measurement only. We do not use it to personally identify you, and we do not send Google personal details such as your name, email address, or phone number.
• Google Search Console provides us with aggregated, non-identifying information about how our site appears in Google Search, including search queries that led to our site and overall performance. It does not identify individual visitors.

Google processes this data in accordance with its own policies. You can review how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Your choices. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and most browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting you may enable.

6. Third-Party Services

We work with trusted third-party providers to deliver our services, including:

• Buildium, our property management platform, which powers rental listings, applications, resident services, and owner reporting. Information you provide through Buildium is governed by Buildium's own privacy policy in addition to this one.
• Netlify, our website hosting and form processing provider. Form submissions are transmitted to and stored by Netlify and delivered to us by email.
• Google, for the analytics and search performance services described above.
• Screening and verification providers used during the rental application process, where permitted by law and with required disclosures and consents.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
