Privacy preferences
You control what we collect. Change these settings at any time.
We use cookies to run RentalRated and understand how people use the site. Essential cookies are always on. Optional analytics and advertising cookies are only used if you allow them.
Required for sign-in, security, fraud prevention, and core site functionality.
Help us understand things like searches, page views, and feature usage so we can improve RentalRated.
May allow RentalRated and advertising partners to measure advertising performance or deliver more relevant ads.
If you opt in, we may occasionally email you useful RentalRated content: renter tips and resources, highly rated landlords and properties, rental-market insights, featured rental opportunities, and RentalRated updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
We never sell your email address, and we never use it to send marketing on behalf of unrelated third parties. Transactional messages - password resets, account verification, review notifications, and security notices - are separate and are not marketing.
Location
We never collect precise location automatically. Location is only requested if you tap “Use my current location” while searching, and your browser will ask permission first. Otherwise we use the address or area you type in. You may also voluntarily provide a city, state, or ZIP code so we can show relevant rental recommendations and, if you have opted in, tailor future email content.
Advertising
RentalRated does not currently run any advertising technologies. If advertising cookies are used in the future, they will only run for people who have enabled the Advertising category above, and you can turn them off at any time. Advertising consent is separate from marketing emails, and we do not sell personal information.
Security and abuse prevention
For security, spam prevention, duplicate review detection, and abuse investigations we privately log IP address, browser and device information, timestamps, and (if signed in) your account ID. This information is stored privately, restricted to trusted administrators, and is never displayed publicly or attached to your reviews. Your marketing preferences are likewise never publicly visible.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable law. You can also change your privacy and marketing preferences at any time. Contact us to exercise your privacy rights.
