Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 7, 2024
Hudson Dorms, LLC (“Hudson Dorms”) operates the Hudson Dorms website. It is Hudson Dorms’s policy to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and security of any personal information about its users.
​
This Privacy & Security Policy (“Policy”) explains how Hudson Dorms (“We”, “Us”, or “Our”) collects, uses, shares, and keeps secure your information (“You”, “you”, “Your”, or “User”), including your nonpublic personal information, when You use Hudson Dorms’s website hudsondorms.com (the “Website”) and any related products and services (collectively referred to as the “Services”).
​
By using Our Services, you are agreeing to this Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not enroll in or use the Services. Pursuant to this Policy, you direct Hudson Dorms to share your data with its users, vendors, partners, and affiliates at its discretion, in a way that would otherwise be contrary to this Policy.
​
1. Website Visitors
​
Like most website operators, Hudson Dorms collects non-personally-identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Hudson Dorms’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Hudson Dorms’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Hudson Dorms may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
​
Hudson Dorms collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Hudson Dorms. Hudson Dorms does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Services.
​
2. Customers of Hudson Dorms
​
​GATHERING OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
The amount and type of information that Hudson Dorms gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Certain visitors to Hudson Dorms’s websites choose to interact with Hudson Dorms in ways that require Hudson Dorms to gather personally-identifying information, most notably when becoming a “Customer” (which means that you have registered with Hudson Dorms to use its Services). Registration involves provision of a housing guarantee agreement (the “Housing Guarantee”) and any personally-identifying information included therein (collectively the “Registration Information”).
​

Delivering to You any administrative notices, alerts and communications relevant to your use of the Service;

4. Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Hudson Dorms discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Hudson Dorms’s behalf or to provide services available at Hudson Dorms’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Hudson Dorms’s Services, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Hudson Dorms will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Hudson Dorms discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Hudson Dorms believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Hudson Dorms, third parties or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of Hudson Dorms Services (i.e. Customer) and have supplied your email address, Hudson Dorms may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Hudson Dorms and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Hudson Dorms takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
The security of your personal information is important to us. We utilize physical, electronic and procedural security measures to protect against loss, misuse, and alteration of information under our control. We offer industry-standard practices and security measures to safeguard and secure the personal information we collect. However, some of the application or networks that you use may not be completely secure, thus we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Cookies & Other Technologies
We may also use various technologies to collect and store information related to Your use of our Services. We may collect and store information locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage and application data caches.
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Hudson Dorms uses cookies to help Hudson Dorms identify and track visitors, their usage of any Hudson Dorms websites, and their website access preferences.

6. Business Transfers
If Hudson Dorms, or substantially all of its assets, are acquired, or in the event that Hudson Dorms goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Hudson Dorms may continue to use Your personal information as set forth in this Policy.
