5. Your Choices

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. This section describes mechanisms we provide for you to control certain uses and disclosures of your information.

  • Tracking Technologies. You can set your mobile device to refuse all or some mobile cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent by logging into the App and visiting your account profile page. If you disable or refuse cookies or block the use of other tracking technologies, some parts of the App may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
  • Location Information. You can choose whether or not to allow the App to collect and use real-time information about your device’s location by logging into the App and visiting your account profile page. If you block the use of location information, some parts of the App may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

In general, you may browse the App without providing personal information. However, if you choose not to provide certain personal information through the App, we may not be able to provide certain services or process certain of your requests. You will not be able to become an investor or use all of the features that we offer through the App. Depending on the functionality associated with the App feature you are using, you may be able to update or delete certain of your personal information on the App. Accordingly, at your request, we will take reasonable steps to remove your personal information from our databases. However, please note that:

  • We may not be permitted to delete your personal information completely, due to IRS and regulatory reporting requirements, investments on the App and the rights thereof, and data backups and records of deletions.
  • If you request deletion of your personal information, you may be unable to use certain features of the App.
  • Certain of your personal information may remain in our databases following the deletion of your account.
  • You may not remove de-identified, anonymous, or aggregate data from our databases.
  • Any deletion requests may be sent to hi@landa.app.

If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails from us, you can opt out of these communications by logging into the App and visiting your account profile page or by contacting us at hi@landa.app. Please understand that you will not be allowed to opt-out of transactional notices or other legal and related notices concerning your relationship to the App or your account.

6. Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information

You can review and change your personal information by logging into the App and visiting your account profile page. You may also send us an email at hi@landa.app to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

7. Links To Other Sites

This Policy applies only to information collected on the App or in emails, texts and other electronic communications sent through or in connection with the App. The App may contain links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by Landa. Landa is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites, and we encourage you to be aware when you leave the App and to read the privacy statements of each and every site that collects your information.

8. Your California Privacy Rights

8.1 “Shine the Light” Law

California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information (if any) for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those parties. However, we do not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

8.2 How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals

The App currently does not respond to “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signals and operates as described in this Policy whether or not a DNT signal is received. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Policy.

9. Data Security

We have put in place commercially-reasonable security systems designed to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of personal information, and we take reasonable steps to secure and safeguard this information against loss, theft, and unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification. With that said, there is no such thing as 100% security of the networks, servers, and databases we operate or that are operated on our behalf. Before submitting any personal information via the App, please be aware of these inherent risks and understand that you do so at your own risk.

10. Data Retention

We keep your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, while we have a legitimate business need to do so in connection with your account, or as required by law (e.g., for tax, legal, accounting or other purposes), whichever is longer.

11. Third Party Providers

Landa has relationships with certain service providers in order to provide its services to you. Landa has contracted with Synapse Financial Technologies, Inc. (“Synapse”), a backend technology service provider that owns or otherwise has relationships with, (i) Synapse Brokerage LLC, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC; and (iii) certain banks and financial institutions and service providers (each of the foregoing being a “Partner Financial Institution”). Among other services, Synapse conducts “Know Your Customer” requirements and other financial technology services.

For purposes of satisfying “Know Your Customer” requirements, Landa asks for your identifying information, such as your name, email address, tax identification number, address, telephone number, date of birth, videos, and photographs that may contain images of your face, including your driver’s license or government-issued identification number or card. Landa will also collect information pertaining to your account transactions. Your personal information will be shared with Synapse and will be subject to the Synapse Privacy Policy. Synapse will share your information as necessary with its Partner Financial Institutions and other service providers in connection with providing their services. The privacy policies of Synapse, its affiliates, and its Partner Financial Institutions can be found here.
