Draft — not yet in effect
This document has not been reviewed or approved by Modern Storage® counsel. Sections marked Attorney review required are placeholders describing what belongs there — they are not terms, and nothing on this page should be relied upon as a statement of Modern Storage®’s legal position. Your executed rental agreement governs your storage relationship.
01What this policy covers
This policy covers information collected through this website.
It does not cover information collected in person at a facility, on paper, over the phone, or under your rental agreement, and it does not cover the separate privacy practices of the rental and payment platforms linked from this site. Those platforms publish their own policies.
02Information we collect
We collect only what a given feature needs. Not every visitor provides any of this — most of it is submitted deliberately through a form.
| Where it comes from | What is collected |
|---|---|
| Contact and business storage enquiries | Name, email address, phone number, company where given, and the message you write |
| Job applications (Careers) | Name, email address, phone number, city, availability, preferred locations, areas of interest, desired compensation range and pay basis, earliest start date, schedule flexibility, willingness to consider a nearby location, your message or cover letter, answers to role-specific questions, and any résumé you upload |
| Website chat | Name, email address, and phone number if you provide them, plus the questions you ask |
| Guides and checklists | Name, email address, and phone number where you request a resource by email |
| Reservations and move-ins | Handled on the rental platform. Rental, payment, and account information is collected there, not by this website |
| Automatically, on every visit | IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, and interaction events |
| Cookies and similar technologies | Identifiers used for analytics, advertising measurement, and remarketing — see the Cookies & Tracking disclosure |
We do not ask for government identification numbers, financial account details, or health information through this website. Please do not send them to us through a form or chat.
03How we use information
- To answer enquiries and provide the information or resource you asked for.
- To evaluate job applications, contact applicants, and manage hiring.
- To operate, secure, and improve the website, including diagnosing errors and preventing abuse.
- To measure how the site is used and how effectively our advertising performs.
- To send you information you requested, and — where you have agreed — marketing communications.
- To meet legal, tax, accounting, insurance, and recordkeeping obligations, and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
We do not sell personal information. We do use advertising and analytics services that may treat certain activity as "sharing" or "targeted advertising" under some state laws — see the Cookies & Tracking disclosure.
04Job applicants and résumés
Applicant information is treated more carefully than general website enquiries, and it is worth being specific about how.
- Applications and résumés are used to evaluate you for employment and to contact you about the role or future openings.
- They are visible only to Modern Storage® staff who hold the specific permission to view applications. Managing job postings and viewing applicants are separate permissions — someone who can post a job cannot necessarily see applicants.
- Uploaded résumés are stored in a private location. They are not published, are not accessible by public link, and are never attached to outbound email. Staff open them through short-lived links that expire minutes after being generated.
- Résumé files are stored under randomised names, so a file name never exposes an applicant’s identity.
- We do not ask for your current or previous salary — only the range you are looking for.
- Applications are not shared with third parties for their own marketing.
How long applicant information is kept, and how to ask for it to be deleted, is set out in the Data Retention & Deletion policy.
05Who receives information
We share personal information with service providers who process it on our behalf, and only for the purposes described above.
| Category | Purpose | What they may receive |
|---|---|---|
| Website hosting and delivery | Serving this site | IP address, request and device data |
| Database and file storage | Storing form submissions, applications, and résumés | Everything you submit through a form, including uploaded files |
| Transactional email | Sending confirmations and internal notifications | Name, email address, and message content |
| Rental and move-in platform | Reservations, move-ins, live rates and availability | Rental and account information you enter on that platform |
| Payment processing | Taking payment | Payment details, collected by the processor rather than this website |
| Analytics and tag management | Measuring site usage | Usage events, IP address, device and browser data |
| Advertising and remarketing platforms | Advertising measurement and targeting | Identifiers, usage events, and conversion signals |
| Maps and geocoding | Maps, directions, address lookup | Location or address you search for, IP address |
| Embedded media and social platforms | Video, podcast, and social content | Interaction data governed by their own policies |
We may also disclose information where required by law or legal process; to protect the rights, property, or safety of Modern Storage®, our customers, or others; to investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents; to our professional advisers and insurers; and in connection with a sale, merger, financing, or reorganisation of all or part of the business.
07How long we keep information
We keep personal information for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, and then for any additional period required for legal, tax, accounting, insurance, or dispute-resolution reasons.
Retention periods by category, and the reasons information may be kept after a deletion request, are set out in the Data Retention & Deletion policy.
08Your privacy rights
Attorney review required
Counsel to determine which privacy statutes apply to Modern Storage® and its entities — including the Arkansas Personal Information Protection Act and any out-of-state consumer privacy laws reaching Arkansas operations — and to draft the rights, thresholds, response deadlines, appeal process, and any authorised-agent and non-discrimination language accordingly. The mechanics below describe how a request is handled operationally; the statement of legal rights must come from counsel.
Regardless of what the law requires, you can ask us to access, correct, or delete information you submitted through this website. Write to info@modernstorage.com.
We will verify that a request comes from you, or from someone authorised to act for you, before acting on it — the verification steps are described in the Data Retention & Deletion policy. We will tell you if any of the information cannot be deleted and why.
09Children’s privacy
This website is intended for adults. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, write to info@modernstorage.com and we will delete it.
10How information is protected
We take reasonable measures to protect information submitted through this website.
- Traffic to this site is encrypted in transit.
- Form submissions and uploaded files are stored in access-controlled systems, not in publicly readable locations.
- Staff access is permission-based, so seeing applicant information requires a specific grant rather than general admin access.
- Résumés are reachable only through short-lived links that expire minutes after being generated.
- Administrative areas of the site require authentication.
No website or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your information has been compromised, contact us immediately.
11Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The effective and last-updated dates at the top of this page show the current version. Material changes will be reflected in a new effective date.
