What is Personal Information?

Personal Information is any information that may allow for an individual to be personally identified. For example, your name, email address, social security number, phone number, residential address and credit card details are all considered personal information. Other information, such as your interests, economic status, customer number, IP address, geolocation, education, and job title may also be considered personal information if that information, when combined with other information, is used to reveal your identity.

  • Registering to be an investor: To register as an investor and gain access to our investor portal you are required to create an investor account through our website or directly through us. To register as an investor, you are required to create a password and also provide us with a username, your legal name, and your email address. All passwords created are encrypted; this means we never see this information.

Personal Information Retention and Your Rights

Pinnacle Storage Properties stores and processes all personal information within the United States and only keeps your information for as long as necessary to provide our services. Under the law, you also have the right to request at any time for us to:
