Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 11th, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Perch Apartment Locating LLC and Perch Real Estate LLC (collectively, “Perch,” “the Brokerages,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, and protect your personal information. These entities are affiliated through common ownership and branding. This Policy applies to all services provided by either entity, including apartment locating, residential sales, and leasing.
By using our Website or submitting your information through our forms, you acknowledge you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Please note that your agreement to this Policy is distinct from your acceptance of our general Terms & Conditions to ensure your consent for data processing is specific and informed.
If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our Website.
2. Information We Collect
a. Information You Provide
We collect personal information you voluntarily provide, including:
- Name, phone number, and email address
- Move-in date, location preferences, and apartment criteria
- Other details you share to assist in your apartment search
b. Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our Website, we automatically collect non-identifiable information such as:
- IP address and browser type
- Device and operating system details
- Referring URLs, session duration, and usage data
- Approximate geographic location
c. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, understand how it is used, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising. These are loaded through Google Tag Manager and include:
- Google Analytics — how visitors find and use the Website
- Google Ads — conversion measurement and remarketing, so we can tell which advertising leads to an enquiry and show relevant ads afterwards
- Google DoubleClick — advertising delivery and measurement, operated by Google
We also use Cookiebot (Usercentrics A/S) to present consent choices and to keep a record of them.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the Website to function are always active. Analytics and advertising cookies are controlled by your consent as described in Section 2e.
We do not use Meta Pixel or any Meta advertising technology on this Website.
d. Sensitive Data & Precise Geolocation
We do not process "Sensitive Data"—including precise geolocation data that identifies your specific location within a radius of 1,750 feet—without your prior affirmative consent. If our services require such data to show nearby apartment listings or provide navigation, you will be prompted to "Allow" or "Opt-In" via your browser or device settings before any collection occurs.
e. Managing Your Consent
How we treat advertising and analytics cookies depends on where you are.
If you are in California, we ask for your consent before any non-essential cookie is set or any advertising or analytics tag loads. Nothing beyond what is strictly necessary runs until you choose.
Elsewhere, these technologies operate unless you opt out. You can opt out at any time.
In either case, you can change your choice whenever you like by selecting “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” in the footer of any page on this Website. Your choices are recorded and retained by our consent management provider.
Global Privacy Control. If your browser or an extension sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out automatically, in every location, and we do so before any advertising or analytics technology loads. You do not need to take any further action, and no banner will ask you again.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to provide apartment locating and real estate services, communicate search updates, and analyze the performance of our Website. Please be advised that we may share your contact information with third-party service partners (such as utility concierge and moving service providers) in exchange for a referral fee or other valuable consideration. Under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), this is considered a "Sale of Personal Data".
4. Information Sharing
We may share your information with:
- Licensed Perch agents assisting in your apartment search
- Apartment communities or management companies to confirm referrals
- Third-party service providers (CRM, analytics, marketing tools) bound by confidentiality agreements
- Rental Insurance Providers, Utility Concierge and Moving Services: If you lease an apartment through our services, we may share your contact information with third-party partners (e.g., renters insurance, utility, cable, or internet setup assistants) specifically to help you facilitate your move-in and service setup process. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for the requested service.
- Legal or regulatory authorities when required by law
5. Your Communication Preferences
Perch may contact you by phone, text, or email in connection with your apartment search or related services.
You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time:
- Click “Unsubscribe” in any marketing email
- Reply STOP to any text message
- Email [email protected] to request removal from communications
Message and data rates may apply.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.
When no longer needed, your data is securely deleted or anonymized.
7. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information.
However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and you share data at your own risk.
8. Your Rights and Consumer Requests
NOTICE: We may sell your personal data to third-party service providers as described in this Policy.
If you are a Texas resident, the TDPSA provides you with the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access: Confirm whether we are processing your personal data and access such data.
- Right to Correction: Request that we correct inaccuracies in your personal data.
- Right to Deletion: Request the deletion of personal data provided by or obtained about you.
- Right to Data Portability: Request a copy of your personal data in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format.
- Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to opt-out of the processing of your personal data for purposes of: (i) targeted advertising, (ii) the sale of personal data, or (iii) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Submitting a Request: To exercise these rights, please email [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 45 days.
Right to Appeal: If we decline to take action on your request, you have the right to appeal our decision within a reasonable period of time. Please submit your appeal in writing to [email protected]. If the appeal is denied, you may contact the Texas Attorney General to file a complaint at: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/consumer-protection.
9. Minors
Our services are intended for individuals 18 years and older.
We do not knowingly collect or store information from minors. If we become aware that a minor has submitted information, it will be deleted promptly.
10. Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms (Global Privacy Control)
Perch recognizes and processes Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we automatically treat it as a valid request to opt out of targeted advertising and the sale or sharing of your personal data for that browser or device, with no further action required from you.
We apply this at the point your browser first contacts our Website, before any advertising or analytics technology loads, so that no such technology receives your information in the first place.
11. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect operational or legal changes. Updates will appear on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.
Continued use of our Website indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
