MENU UDR PRIVACY POLICY UDR PRIVACY POLICY UPDATED JANUARY 1, 2020. UDR, Inc. (“UDR”.,” “we,” “us,”) is concerned about online privacy issues and wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information (as defined below). This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") describes our practices in connection with Personal Information that we collect through our website located at www.udr.com and any services provided in connection therewith (the "Site"). This Policy does not address our practices regarding information that we collect through any website, or by any other means, other than through the Site; nor does this Policy govern the collection, use or disclosure of information by any of our affiliates ("Affiliated Entities") or by third parties. By using the Site, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use the Site. What Information Does UDR Collect? UDR collects two types of data about visitors to the Site (“Visitors”): (a) “Personal Information”—that is, information from which an individual can be identified, such as an individual's full name, email address, home address, and telephone number, that individual Visitors provide when using certain of the Site's features; and (b) “Tracking Data”, which is automatically collected from every Visitor. From time to time, our third party service providers may provide certain services, including online chat, and process certain information on our behalf. Any such information will be used by a third party only for the purpose of providing services on our behalf. Our collection of Personal Information and Tracking Data is described in more detail below. Personal Information You do not have to provide Personal Information to use the Site. However, your use of particular services made available through the Site may require us to collect, use and store Personal Information from you. We collect such Personal Information only when you affirmatively provide it to us — for example, when completing forms online, such as those forms available through our “Contact Community” feature, when filling out applications to lease our properties, or when answering surveys. You may also be asked to provide your contact information (such as your name, postal address, telephone numbers, and/or email address), financial information (such as income level and credit card number), and demographic information (such as your age or ZIP code) in connection with your use of our services. Remember that no Personal Information is actually submitted through the Site until you click the “SUBMIT” or similar button on the form into which you have entered such information. The Site offers you the opportunity to email web pages from the Site to any email address of your choice. To offer you this feature, we need to ask you for both your email address, and the email address of the person to whom you wish to send the applicable page. We do not store this information or use it for any purpose other than to email the web page to its intended recipient. If you contact us by email through the Site, we may keep a record of your contact information and correspondence, and reserve the right to use your email address, and any information you provide in your message, to respond thereto. Tracking Data Tracking Data consists of information we collect automatically from each Visitor, such as browser type, operating system, Internet service provider, IP address, device ID, and referring page or site. Tracking Data may include information such as the pages you visit and features you use, the total number of your Site or page visits, your search terms, and the average time you spend on a page or area of the Site. Collecting Tracking Data is a standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites. We may combine the Tracking Data we collect from you with your Personal Information and use the combined information for customer research and marketing purposes, such as to identify which Site users we think are most likely to rent a property in the near-term. We may share the aggregate results of that research with third parties. Cookies We and our service providers may use “cookies” in connection with the Site. Cookies are data that a web server transfers to an individual's computer for recordkeeping and other purposes. Cookies are an industry standard used by most websites, and can facilitate users' ongoing access to and use of a particular website; cookies do not cause damage to your computer systems or files. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of a particular cookie, or cookies from a particular website, to your computer. We and our service providers may also use so-called "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs," or similar means in connection with Site pages and HTML-formatted e-mail messages to, among other things, track the actions of Site users and to compile aggregate statistics about Site usage and response rates Please note that if you disable your web browser’s ability to accept cookies, you will be able to navigate through parts of our Service, but you may not be able to successfully use all of the features of our Service. Do Not Track Signals UDR does not track users of our Site across third party websites to provide targeted advertising. Accordingly, we do not currently respond or take any action with respect to a web browser’s "do not track" signal or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of Personal Information about an individual Visitor’s online activities over time and across third party websites or online products/services. How Does UDR Use the Information It Collects? Disclosure to Communities Some of the most important of the Site's features require us to share your Personal Information with “Communities”—that is, third party real estate properties about which information is provided on the Site. When you provide Personal Information through the Site as part of a “Contact Community” or similar form, we will share your Personal Information with those Communities with which you have authorized us to share such information. By entering your Personal Information in this context and clicking the “SUBMIT” or similar button, you are authorizing us to share your Personal Information, as well as the identity of the last promotional item you viewed on the Site, in this manner. These Communities may use this information to contact you about properties that are available or other matters. Please be advised that we do not monitor or control Communities' use or disclosure of your Personal Information and you should review the applicable Communities’ privacy notices to understand how they may use your Personal Information. Lease Online When you provide Personal Information through the Site as part of a “Lease Online” form, or if you set up a MyUDR account through which you access online rent payment, schedule service or renew your lease, Personal Information you will be redirected to a web site which is hosted and operated by RealPage Inc., or such other third party service provider as we may determine from time to time (the “Online Lease Administrator”). The Online Lease Administrator will process your Personal Information for the purposes you request, and will also transmit it to the Communities of your choice. By entering your Personal Information in this context and clicking the “SUBMIT” or similar button, you are authorizing the sharing and use of your Personal Information in this manner. As with the “Contact Community” service described above, the Online Lease Administrator and applicable Communities may use the information you submit to administer your request, and for other purposes as specified in their privacy notices. Except as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy, we do not currently share your Personal Information with third parties other than the Online Lease Administrator and Communities. Disclosure to Service Providers UDR works with third parties who provide services that may include, but are not necessarily limited to, website hosting, data analysis, email services, and other services of an administrative or technical nature on its behalf. UDR may share Personal Information with such third parties for the purpose of providing such services. Advertisers From time-to-time, we may engage third parties to provide advertising services to assist us in advertising our brand and services. Those advertising services may target advertisements on third party websites based on cookies or other information indicating previous interaction with our Site. Disclosure of Tracking Data UDR uses Tracking Data to create aggregate reports on Visitor demographics, Site traffic patterns and user behavior, and may provide these aggregate reports to advertisers and other third parties. None of the foregoing information that we may provide to such advertisers or third parties is personally identifiable — that is, can be connected by such advertisers or third parties to the Personal Information supplied to UDR by individual Visitors. Contact Information In various areas of the Site, we provide you the opportunity to submit a form with basic contact information, such as your name, email, and address. When you submit a form to us, you are giving us permission to use such information to inform you of technical information regarding our services, to subscribe you to newsletters and other communications, and to distribute promotional materials to you. If you no longer wish to receive these emails you may unsubscribe from any email by following the unsubscribe instructions found within that email; provided however that, you cannot opt-out of receiving transactional emails related to your account with us or your use of our service. Other Disclosures Notwithstanding any other provision of this Policy to the contrary, we reserve the right to disclose PERSONAL INFORMATION about you to others as we believe to be appropriate (a) under applicable law; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to respond to governmental requests; (d) to enforce our Terms of Service; (e) to protect our operations or those of any Affiliated Entities; (f) to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of us, the Affiliated Entities, you or others; and (g) to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

Other Important Notes Regarding Privacy. Security UDR has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of that Visitor information which is under our control. Unfortunately, no security system, or system of transmitting data over the Internet, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of our servers, the means by which information is transmitted between your computer and UDR's servers, or any information provided to us or to any third party through or in connection with the Site, and you provide all such information at your own risk.
