4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in the following circumstances:

  • Tenants and landlords: Relevant information is shared between property owners and tenants as necessary to manage the rental relationship.
  • Vendors: Maintenance vendors receive only the information required to complete a work order.
  • Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, user data may be transferred as a business asset, with prior notice.

5. Data retention

We retain account data for as long as your account is active. After account closure, we retain records for up to seven (7) years to meet tax, legal, and audit obligations. You may request earlier deletion of non-essential data by contacting us at legal@upscare.net.

6. Security

We use industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, role-based access controls, and regular third-party security reviews. We are pursuing SOC 2 Type II certification. No system is perfectly secure; we encourage users to use strong passwords and report suspected vulnerabilities to legal@upscare.net.

7. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention obligations)
  • Opt out of marketing communications at any time
  • Data portability (receive a copy of your data in a machine-readable format)

To exercise these rights, contact us at legal@upscare.net. We will respond within 30 days.

8. International data transfers

Upscare operates in both the United States and Canada. Data may be processed and stored in either country. For Canadian users, we comply with applicable provincial privacy legislation including PIPEDA and Ontario's privacy requirements. For US users, we comply with applicable federal and state laws.

9. Cookies

We use essential cookies to operate the platform (authentication, session management) and optional analytics cookies to improve performance. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings without affecting core functionality.

10. Children's privacy

Upscare is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child's data has been collected without parental consent, we will delete it promptly.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users by email at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
