PRIVACY NOTICE
Last updated on February 26, 2025
This Privacy Notice describes the information collection, use, retention and sharing practices of BET Investments, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“BET Investments”, “we”, “us”, “our”) when you interact with us online through this website or other websites that link to this Privacy Notice (collectively, the “Websites”).
As used in this Privacy Notice, “personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT, WHY AND FOR HOW LONG
We collect personal information as you engage with our Websites, including when you:
Contact us. When you submit a “contact us” form, we collect, from you, your personal identifiers (name, email address, phone number), move-in date, and any additional information you choose to include in your message. We use this information to respond to your questions or inquiries.
Schedule a tour. When you schedule a tour, we collect, from you, your personal identifiers (name, email address, phone number), move-in date, selected unit, and any additional information you choose to include in your message. We use this information to communicate with you and to schedule your tour.
Interact with us on social media. When you interact with our social media pages on social networking websites, such as Facebook and Instagram (Meta), X, LinkedIn, and YouTube (each a “Social Media Page” and collectively, “Social Media Pages”), we collect basic engagement metrics and use it to tailor content and marketing and use it to improve user experience as set forth in this section. Please note that we do not control the use or storage of the information that you have posted to any social networking websites. This information is collected and processed by the social networking websites for their own purposes, including marketing. For more information on how Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube use your personal information, please see Facebook’s Privacy Policy, X’s Privacy Policy, LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy, Instagram’s Privacy Policy, and YouTube’s Privacy Policy.
Social Media Pages. When interacting with our Social Media Pages, we collect, from you, your personal identifiers (first and last name) and visual information (photograph (i.e., profile picture)), as well as any information that you provide when interacting with our Social Media Pages (e.g., commenting, sharing, and rating). We use this information to advertise our products, for events and invitations, and to communicate with users via the contribution and comment function. Because our Social Media Pages are publicly accessible, when you use them to interact with other users, for example by posting, leaving comments or liking or sharing posts, any personal information that you post in them or provide when registering can be viewed by others or used by them as they see fit. The content posted on our Social Media Pages or other public areas of social networking websites can be deleted in the same way as other content that you have created.
Community Management. We collect, from you, your contact, including "likes", shares, messages and other interactions with the content, in order to analyze and evaluate how our content is perceived, to learn from it, and to improve our public relations efforts.
Page Insights. When you visit our Social Media Page, the applicable Social Network records your IP address and other information about your usage behavior on our Social Media Page. The Social Network collects this information through trackers in the browser of your device or via the advertising ID (IDFA from Apple or GAID from Google), when you open the Social Network app through your mobile device (e.g., smartphone or tablet). The Social Network uses this information to provide us with statistical evaluations of the use of our Social Media Page. We receive this information directly from Social Network, in the form of aggregated data and anonymous statistics regarding certain data points, such as: age; gender; city/country; device; inquiries from fans about other Social Media Pages; region and language settings of the users; proportion of men and women; the number of people reached; clicks on posts, "likes” and reactions; comments and shared content; and total video views. We use this information to analyze and improve the advertising campaigns we conduct through our Social Media Pages. We do not collect or process any other personal information in connection with Social Network “Page Insights” function. We do not retain this information independently. For information on data protection and the storage period on the Social Network in relation to its Insights function, see the Social Network privacy policy linked above. It has been contractually agreed with the Social Network that the Social Network is responsible for providing you with information about the processing for Page Insights.
Information Processed Solely by Social Networks. We do not know how the Social Networks use personal information for their own purposes, how long the personal information is stored on the Social Networks or whether the Social Networks’ data is passed on to third parties. If you are currently logged in to a Social Network as a user, the Social Network automatically collects, through trackers on your device, your Social Network ID or a link between the Social Network ID and the advertising ID (IDFA from Apple or GAID from Google) when you open the Social Network app through your mobile device (e.g., smartphone or tablet). This enables the Social Network to understand that you have visited our Social Media Page along with other social media pages that you have clicked on, whether you clicked on Social Network buttons integrated into websites that partner with the Social Network, and other online interactions that report user data to the Social Network. Based on this data, content or advertising tailored to you can be offered. You can find more information about the personal information collected by Social Networks, how it is used and how long it is stored by visiting the Social Network’s privacy policies, linked above.
