Privacy Policy
LeaseEase (“LeaseEase,” “we,” “us”) is an independent project based in Ontario, Canada. This policy explains what personal information we collect through leaseease.ca, why we collect it, and how we protect it. It covers our beta waitlist. We’ll update it before the LeaseEase app opens to beta users.
What we collect
When you join the beta waitlist, we collect:
- Your email address
- How many rental units you have, which you choose from a short list
- Which signup form you used on the page
- The date and time you signed up, and a record that you agreed to receive beta emails
We don’t ask for your name, address, phone number or any information about your tenants on this website.
If you email us, we’ll have your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message.
Why we collect it
We use your information only to:
- Email you about the LeaseEase beta, including when it opens and important updates
- Understand who is interested, for example how many signups are small landlords, so we can build the right product
- Reply to messages you send us
We don’t sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we don’t use it for advertising.
Your consent
By joining the waitlist, you consent to us collecting and using your information as described here, including sending you emails about the beta. You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email or by emailing hello@leaseease.ca.
Where your information is stored
Waitlist signups are stored with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in its Canada (Central) region in Montréal. Information is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is limited to what LeaseEase needs to operate the waitlist.
We use a small number of service providers to run LeaseEase:
- Amazon Web Services hosts the website and stores waitlist signups in Canada.
- Google Workspace provides our email. Messages you send to hello@leaseease.ca, and our replies, are handled by Google and may be stored outside Canada.
- Google Fonts supplies the typefaces on this website. When the page loads, your browser requests fonts from Google’s servers, which receive your IP address as part of that request.
- Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) sends our beta emails from AWS’s Canada (Central) region.
When a service provider stores information outside Canada, it may be subject to the laws of that country, including lawful access by its authorities.
Cookies and tracking
This website doesn’t use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers.
How long we keep it
We keep waitlist information until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. If you don’t become a LeaseEase user, we’ll delete your waitlist information within 12 months after the beta ends.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- Tell you what personal information we hold about you and give you a copy
- Correct information that’s wrong
- Delete your information
- Stop sending you emails
Email hello@leaseease.ca and we’ll respond within 30 days.
If you have concerns about how we handle your information, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Who is responsible
LeaseEase has a designated Privacy Officer who is responsible for how we handle personal information. You can reach them at hello@leaseease.ca.
Changes to this policy
We’ll update this policy as LeaseEase grows, including before the app opens to beta users. When we make significant changes, we’ll update the effective date above and let waitlist members know by email.
