About Schedularly & This Privacy Policy
Schedularly, LLC (βSchedularly,β βwe,β βour,β or βusβ), headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, operates a proprietary Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform enabling residential Tenants to compile, maintain, and selectively disclose a portable Rental Record documenting their rental history. Landlords and property managers (βLandlordsβ) may access Tenant-provided data only when a Tenant explicitly initiates an Authorized Disclosure within the platform.
This Privacy Policy explains:
- What personal data we collect, and why;
- How we store, secure, and retain that data;
- The conditions under which data is disclosed to Landlords;
- Your rights as a data subject under applicable federal and state law; and
- How to contact us to exercise those rights.
By creating an account or using the Schedularly platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any provision herein, you must cease use of the platform and contact us to request deletion of your data.
Defined Terms
βTenantβ
Any individual who creates an account to build or share a Rental Record.
βLandlordβ
Any property owner or manager who receives a Tenant-initiated Authorized Disclosure.
βRental Recordβ
The aggregated personal data set compiled by a Tenant within the platform.
βAuthorized Disclosureβ
The explicit, affirmative, Tenant-initiated action of sharing their Rental Record with a specific Landlord.
Our Role: Information Processor, Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
2.1 What We Are
Schedularly functions as a neutral Information Processor. We provide the technical infrastructure and platform for Tenants to self-report, organize, and β upon their sole election β share their rental history data. We do not independently investigate, score, rate, or adjudicate any Tenant. We do not originate reports about Tenants; we only transmit data that Tenants themselves have entered and chosen to share.
2.2 What We Are Not
Schedularly is expressly NOT a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) as defined under 15 U.S.C. Β§ 1681a(f) of the FCRA. Specifically:
- Schedularly does not assemble or evaluate information for the purpose of furnishing "consumer reports" to third parties;
- Schedularly does not prepare, compile, or generate reports used to determine a consumer's eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, or housing independently of the Tenant's own action;
- No Landlord may use the Schedularly platform to initiate a background or credit investigation of a Tenant without that Tenant's prior Authorized Disclosure;
- Schedularly data is not sold, licensed, or provided to tenant screening companies, background check aggregators, or consumer reporting networks.
Tenants and Landlords acknowledge that Schedularly's platform does not replace and is not a substitute for legally compliant tenant screening conducted by a licensed CRA. Landlords who require FCRA-compliant credit or criminal background checks must obtain those separately from an authorized CRA.
Data We Collect: What, How, and Why
We adhere strictly to the principle of data minimization: we collect only the personal data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.
3.1 Data Collection Summary
| Data Category | Specific Data Points | Lawful Basis | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identity Data | Full name, email address, phone number, government-issued ID number (optional, for verification) | Contractual Necessity; Consent | Account creation, identity verification, and communication |
| Rental History Data | Prior addresses, lease start/end dates, monthly rent amounts, payment timelines, landlord contact info, lease compliance notes | Consent; Legitimate Interests | To populate Tenant Rental Record; for Landlord verification upon Tenant-initiated Authorized Disclosure |
| Verification & Dispute Records | Landlord verification timestamps, disputed data records, audit logs, resolution outcomes | Legal Compliance; Legitimate Interests | Audit trail integrity; legal defense; 7-year retention schedule (see Section 6) |
| Technical Data | IP address, device type, browser type/version, operating system, session duration, click-path data | Legitimate Interests | Platform security, fraud prevention, performance optimization |
| Usage Data | Feature interactions, disclosure initiation events, login timestamps | Legitimate Interests | Service improvement; audit trail support |
| Communications Data | In-platform messages, support ticket content, email correspondence with Schedularly | Contractual Necessity; Consent | Customer support, dispute resolution, legal documentation |
3.2 Data We Do NOT Collect
- Social Security Numbers (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) β unless voluntarily provided and consented to for identity verification, and then processed under enhanced security controls;
- Bank account numbers, routing numbers, or credit/debit card numbers for any purpose other than payment processing (handled exclusively by our PCI-DSS compliant payment processor);
- Biometric data of any kind;
- Medical or health information;
- Immigration status;
- Information about criminal history (Schedularly is not a background check service);
- Data from social media platforms without explicit consent;
- Location data beyond the property addresses Tenants self-report in their Rental Record.
3.3 How Data Is Collected
- Direct Input by Tenant: All Rental Record data is self-reported by Tenants through the platform interface. Schedularly does not independently source, supplement, or verify Tenant-reported data from third-party databases.
- Landlord Verification: When a Tenant initiates an Authorized Disclosure, the receiving Landlord may submit a verification response (confirming, disputing, or noting data). This Landlord-submitted verification data is stored as part of the Verification Record (see Section 6 for retention rules).
- Automated Technical Collection: Technical Data (IP addresses, device/browser information) is collected automatically through cookies, server logs, and standard web technologies when you access the platform. See our Cookie Policy for details.
- Communications: Data submitted through support tickets, emails to privacy@schedularly.com, or in-platform messaging.
The Authorized Disclosure Mechanism
4.1 How Authorized Disclosure Works
- 1
Tenant Initiation
The Tenant must actively navigate to the "Share Record" feature within their account dashboard and select a specific Landlord recipient (by email address or Landlord platform ID).
- 2
Scope Selection
The Tenant chooses which components of their Rental Record to share (e.g., full record, specific address history only, payment history only). Partial disclosure is supported.
- 3
Consent Confirmation
The Tenant must affirmatively confirm the disclosure via a two-step confirmation interface (selection + explicit "Confirm & Share" action). No sharing occurs through inferred consent, pre-ticked boxes, or default settings.
- 4
Disclosure Log
An immutable, timestamped disclosure log entry is created in the Tenant's account, recording: (i) the data shared; (ii) the Landlord recipient; (iii) the date and time; and (iv) the Tenant's IP address and device fingerprint at time of disclosure.
- 5
Landlord Receipt
The Landlord receives a read-only export of the disclosed data elements. The Landlord does not receive access to the Tenant's live account or any undisclosed data.
4.2 Landlord as Independent Data Controller
Upon receipt of an Authorized Disclosure export, the Landlord becomes an independent, autonomous data controller of that specific exported dataset. This means:
- The Landlord β not Schedularly β is solely responsible for its processing, storage, use, security, and deletion of the exported data;
- The Landlord must comply with all applicable privacy laws (including FCRA, CCPA, VCDPA, and state landlord-tenant laws) in its use of the disclosed data;
- Schedularly has no control over, and bears no liability for, a Landlord's handling of data after a completed Authorized Disclosure;
- Tenants are encouraged to review a Landlord's privacy practices before initiating an Authorized Disclosure.
Schedularly contractually requires Landlords who maintain platform accounts to acknowledge their independent controller status and to agree to use disclosed data only for legitimate rental evaluation purposes. However, Schedularly cannot guarantee Landlord compliance after data export.
4.3 Revocation of Access
A Tenant may revoke a Landlord's platform access to a previously shared Rental Record at any time through the account dashboard. Revocation removes the Landlord's ability to view the record within the Schedularly platform. However, revocation does not and cannot delete any copy of the data the Landlord may have retained independently following the initial export.
Specific Prohibitions on Data Use
5.1 No Sale, Rental, or Trade of Personal Data
Schedularly does not, and will not:
- Sell personal data to any third party for monetary or non-monetary consideration;
- Rent, license, or trade personal data to third-party marketers, advertisers, data brokers, or data aggregators;
- Provide Tenant data to "people search" websites, public record aggregators, or tenant screening companies for independent product development;
- Share personal data with advertising networks for behavioral targeting or cross-context advertising purposes;
- Allow third parties to collect personal data through the Schedularly platform for their own independent commercial purposes.
This prohibition applies regardless of whether such transfer would be characterized as a βsaleβ under California law (CCPA/CPRA), Virginia law (VCDPA), or any other applicable statute.
5.2 No Automated Decision-Making or Profiling
Schedularly does not use personal data for:
- Automated Decision-Making, as defined under Article 22 of the GDPR (decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals);
- Profiling, as defined under GDPR Article 4(4) or equivalent state law definitions (automated processing to evaluate personal aspects such as economic situation, reliability, behavior, or interests);
- Generating a "rental score," "tenant rating," "reliability index," or any algorithmic assessment of a Tenant's suitability, creditworthiness, or risk level;
- Any machine learning or AI model training that would produce individualized inferences about Tenants beyond the data they have explicitly provided.
5.3 No Unauthorized Third-Party Sharing
Personal data is not shared with third parties except in the following strictly limited circumstances:
- Service Providers (Processors): Third-party vendors engaged to provide infrastructure services (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processing, email delivery) under binding data processing agreements that prohibit any independent use of Tenant data;
- Authorized Disclosures: As described in Section 4, solely upon Tenant initiation;
- Legal Requirements: When required by valid legal process (court order, subpoena, regulatory demand) β see Section 9;
- Protection of Rights: Where necessary to investigate fraud, prevent illegal activity, or protect the safety of users or the public, limited to the minimum data necessary.
Data Retention Schedule & The Seven-Year Rule
Schedularly retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law.
6.1 Retention Schedule
| Data Category | Retention Period | Trigger Event | Lawful Basis for Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tenant-Reported Rental History | 30 days post-account closure | Account closure request | Consent; grace period for re-activation |
| Active Account Data (Identity, Usage) | Duration of account + 30 days | Account closure request | Contractual Necessity |
| Landlord Verification Records | 7 years from verification date | Date of verification event | Legal Compliance; Audit Trail Integrity |
| Dispute Records & Resolution Logs | 7 years from dispute closure | Dispute resolution date | Legal Compliance; Defense of Legal Claims |
| Technical / Log Data | 90 days (rolling) | Continuous rolling deletion | Legitimate Interests (security) |
| Communications / Support Records | 3 years from last interaction | Last support interaction | Contractual Necessity; Legal Claims |
6.2 The Seven-Year Retention Rule for Verification & Dispute Records
The seven-year retention period for Verification and Dispute Records is grounded in the following specific legal bases:
(a) Legal Compliance
Various federal and state statutes governing real property transactions, landlord-tenant relationships, and business records impose or contemplate record-keeping obligations ranging from 3 to 7 years. These include, without limitation:
- State statutes of limitations for breach of contract and tort claims relating to tenancy (typically 3β6 years in Georgia, Virginia, and California);
- IRS record-keeping guidelines for business records (generally 7 years);
- Potential applicability of state consumer protection statutes with extended limitation periods.
(b) Audit Trail Integrity
Verification Records serve a critical audit function: they establish a tamper-evident historical record of what data a Landlord reviewed, when, and what verification response was submitted. This audit trail:
- Protects Tenants who may later dispute a Landlord's rental decision by providing evidence of what was disclosed;
- Protects Schedularly from claims that the platform was used improperly;
- Provides evidentiary integrity in the event of litigation arising from a rental transaction;
- Supports regulatory compliance investigations if Schedularly is audited by a state Attorney General or data protection authority.
(c) Defense of Legal Claims
Retaining Verification and Dispute Records for 7 years ensures that Schedularly can defend against legal claims that may be brought within applicable limitation periods. Premature deletion of these records could constitute spoliation of evidence.
Data Security Measures
Schedularly implements administrative, physical, and technical safeguards proportionate to the sensitivity of the personal data we process. Given that Rental Records may contain detailed financial and residential history, we treat this data with heightened protection.
7.1 Technical Security Measures
Encryption at Rest
AES-256 encryption with dedicated key management service. Keys rotated on a regular schedule.
Encryption in Transit
TLS 1.2 or higher for all data in transit. Deprecated protocols are rejected outright.
Access Controls
Role-based access controls (RBAC) enforced. All privileged access is logged and audited.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Required for all Schedularly employees. Strongly encouraged for all user accounts.
Data Segregation
Tenant and Landlord data logically segregated at the data layer. Access only through Authorized Disclosure.
Penetration Testing
Periodic third-party penetration testing. Vulnerabilities remediated on a risk-tiered schedule.
Intrusion Detection
Network-level intrusion detection and alerting systems monitoring for unauthorized access patterns.
7.2 Organizational Security Measures
- Privacy by Design: New features and data processing activities undergo a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) before deployment;
- Employee Training: All Schedularly employees with access to personal data complete mandatory data privacy and security training annually;
- Vendor Due Diligence: Third-party service providers are vetted for security standards before engagement and subject to contractual data processing obligations;
- Incident Response Plan: Schedularly maintains a documented data breach response plan, including notification procedures consistent with state breach notification laws.
7.3 Breach Notification
- Georgia's Personal Identity Protection Act (O.C.G.A. Β§ 10-1-912): Notice to affected Georgia residents within a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days after discovery where technically feasible;
- California Civil Code Β§ 1798.82 (CCPA/CPRA): Notice to affected California residents in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay;
- Virginia Code Β§ 18.2-186.6: Notice to affected Virginia residents in the most expedient time possible.
