Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 4,2026
DMSR Consulting LLC (“RE/SRCH”, “RE-SRCH”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates RE-SRCH.com (the “Site”) and provides professional consulting, research, custom survey design and administration,
statistical analysis, feedback program development, and related advisory services (collectively, the “Services”) primarily to the multifamily property management industry. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Site and in connection with the Services.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information, and describes the choices you have regarding that information. By using the Site or engaging RE/SRCH for Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. References to “data” or “personal information” include any information you provide to us, information we collect when you use the Site, and information about survey respondents
that clients provide to RE/SRCH for use in performing the Services.
RE/SRCH acts as a Data Controller for personal information collected directly from clients and
Site visitors, and as a Data Processor for personal information provided by clients about third-
party survey respondents. Data Controller means the person or entity that determines the
purposes for which and the way personal information is processed.
Information We Collect and Use
Client and Contact
Information
When you inquire about, engage, or use RE/SRCH Services, we may collect personally
identifiable information including, but not limited to:
•Full name and professional title
•Business email address
•Business phone number
•Company name and mailing address
•Billing and payment information (processed through secure third-party payment
processors)
•Communications and correspondence with RE/SRCH

Survey Respondent
Data
When RE/SRCH conducts surveys on behalf of clients, clients may provide contact lists or other
respondent information (such as names, email addresses, employment information, or
residential information) to facilitate survey distribution. RE/SRCH uses that information solely to
perform the contracted survey services. RE/SRCH does not retain, sell, or use respondent
contact lists for any purpose beyond the applicable engagement. The client is responsible for
ensuring it has the legal right to provide respondent information to RE/SRCH and that
respondents have been given appropriate notice of the survey.
Survey response data is kept confidential. Individually identifiable survey responses are
accessible only to RE/SRCH and, in aggregated or de-identified form, to the applicable client as
specified in the engagement agreement. RE/SRCH does not disclose individual survey responses
to the client in a manner that identifies specific respondents without respondent consent,
except as required by law.
Website Usage Data
We may collect information your browser sends when you visit the Site (“Usage Data”).This may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, device type, the pages of the Site you visit, the time and date of your visit, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data. Usage Data is used to improve the Site and monitor its performance.
Sensitive Personal
Data
RE/SRCH does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (such as Social Security numbers,
financial account numbers, precise geolocation data, health information, or biometric data)
unless specifically required for service provision and with your explicit consent. If we must
collect such data, we implement enhanced security measures and limit its use strictly to the
purposes for which it was collected.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We and our service partners may use cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Site to
recognize repeat visitors, gather usage metrics, support security and authentication, and
improve our Services. Each cookie expires after a defined period depending on its purpose. You
can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the
functionality of certain features of the Site.
We recognize and honor Universal Opt-Out Mechanism (UOOM) signals such as Global Privacy
Control (GPC) that communicate your preference to opt out of the sale or sharing of your
personal information or targeted advertising. When we detect such a signal from your browser
or device, we will apply that preference to your activity on the Site.
How Your Information Is Used
RE/SRCH uses the information we collect for the following purposes:
•To provide, perform, and manage the Services under an engagement agreement
•To communicate with you about your engagement, including updates, invoices, and
deliverables
•To respond to inquiries and provide customer support
•To improve the Site and our Services
•To monitor and analyze usage of the Site
•To detect, prevent, and address technical or security issues
•To fulfill contractual obligations under an applicable engagement agreement
•To comply with applicable legal obligations
RE/SRCH does not sell your personal information and will not use it for targeted advertising or
share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it
was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When
determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the
data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which the
data was collected, and applicable legal requirements. Survey respondent data is retained only
for the duration of the applicable engagement and any legally required period thereafter. Upon
expiration of the applicable retention period, we will securely delete or anonymize your
personal information.
Disclosure of Information
RE/SRCH will not disclose or communicate any client information or engagement-related
information to any person or entity unassociated with the applicable project, except as
described in this policy or in the applicable engagement agreement. No person affiliated with an
RE/SRCH engagement may communicate pricing or other agreement details to anyone not
directly associated with the planning or rollout of the contracted work.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following
limited circumstances:
•Service providers: We may share data with trusted third-party vendors (such as survey
platforms, data-processing tools, email delivery services, or hosting providers) who
perform functions on our behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to protect
your data and use it only for the purposes specified.
•Business transactions: If RE/SRCH is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your
personal information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your data is
transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
•Legal requirements: We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by
law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or
government agency), or in the good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to: (a)
comply with a legal obligation; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of RE/SRCH;
(c) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Services; (d)
protect the personal safety of users or the public; or (e) protect against legal liability.
Survey Data Privacy
The following provisions apply to all survey respondents participating in surveys conducted by
RE/SRCH on behalf of clients:
•Survey responses that include personal identifiers are kept private and secured by
RE/SRCH.
•Aggregated and de-identified survey results are provided to the applicable client in
accordance with the engagement agreement. Clients do not have access to the
underlying survey database and are not able to edit, hide, or delete individual survey
responses.
•RE/SRCH does not integrate survey results into third-party review sites without prior
notice and client consent.
•RE/SRCH has no control over how clients use exported survey results (such as publicly
displaying excerpted content). Respondents acknowledge that RE/SRCH shall not be
liable for any misuse, infringement, or unauthorized display of response content by a
client or third party.
Under certain circumstances, RE/SRCH may be required to disclose survey respondent personal
data. RE/SRCH will only do so where the respondent has provided express consent, or where
disclosure is legally required pursuant to a valid court order, subpoena, or other applicable legal
process. Prior to any compelled disclosure, RE/SRCH will provide affected parties with at least
ten (10) days prior written notice where legally permissible, and will disclose only the minimum
information required, taking reasonable steps to preserve confidentiality, including seeking
protective orders where appropriate.
Data Security
The security of your information is important to us. We implement appropriate technical,
organizational, and administrative security measures designed to protect your personal
information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures
include encryption, access controls, secure data storage, regular security assessments, and
personnel training. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of
electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you without
undue delay and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, unless
otherwise required by applicable law. Our notification will include the nature of the breach, the
types of data involved, the potential consequences, and the measures we are taking to address
the breach and prevent future occurrences.
Third-Party Services and Analytics
We may use third-party service providers to monitor and analyze Site usage (such as Google
Analytics), to deliver emails, or to provide other site functionality. These providers may receive
certain Usage Data in connection with those functions. We require all third-party service
providers to maintain appropriate security measures and comply with applicable data
protection laws. RE/SRCH is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site or
service linked from the Site.
