A. Privacy Policy, and Other Documents

You may find links to our Privacy Policy page, and any other legal page in this site, at the footer of this page.

Briefly, we generally collect only as much personally identifying information as is required to provide the services. Our general policy is not to disclose any personal nonpublic information of any visitor, customer, member, or client to any third-party, except under very limited circumstances.

We only disclose such information to improve the services or your user experience, or when we are required to disclose. We will disclose only as much as information as is needed to provide the enhanced user experience or improved service. We will disclose where strictly required by law – e.g., if we are under a subpoena or court order, and/or if our attorneys advise us to provide the information. While we are very protective of our user’s personal data, you agree that StayConnect or our assignees may disclose your personal information to a third-party if we, in our sole discretion, believe that the law or legal process requires it, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of StayConnect or others, or as otherwise described in our posted Privacy Policy.
