Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Oakwood Property Group ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit The Meridian's website, submit a rental application, communicate with our leasing team, or interact with our resident services. Effective 2026.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, employment and income details, references, and government-issued identification when you request a tour, submit a rental application, or sign a lease.
We may also collect information automatically when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and remember your preferences.
We may receive information from third parties — for example, screening reports from consumer reporting agencies, employment verifications, references, and previous landlords — as part of the rental application process.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to evaluate rental applications, enter into and administer leases, process rent and deposits, respond to inquiries, schedule tours, and provide resident services such as maintenance, communications, and amenity reservations.
We use information to comply with applicable laws (including fair housing and consumer protection laws), to detect and prevent fraud, and to enforce our lease agreements.
With your consent, we may send you marketing communications about leasing opportunities, community events, and resident programs. You may opt out at any time.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information with service providers that help us operate the property and the website, including payment processors, screening services, maintenance vendors, accounting providers, communication tools, and hosting providers, under contractual obligations to protect your information.
We may share information when required by law or legal process, when necessary to investigate or prevent fraud, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of residents, staff, or the public.
If our business is sold, merged, or otherwise transferred, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Your Choices
You can request to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, subject to legal and operational retention requirements (for example, lease records). You can opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in any message.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws (for example, residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Virginia, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws). To exercise any rights, contact us using the details below.
Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and to comply with our legal obligations, after which we securely delete or anonymize it.
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Our website and rental services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on this page with the updated effective year.
