Our dashboard and machine learning model for predicting/classifying rent trends is developed with robust privacy safeguards. We adhere to Belmont Principles by ensuring respect for persons, beneficence, and justice in all aspects of data handling. Our comprehensive Privacy Impact Assessment leverages Solove's Taxonomy, Nissenbaum's Contextual Integrity, and Mulligan et al.'s Analytic frameworks to rigorously evaluate risks across data collection, storage, processing, and sharing. Detailed risk analysis informs our proactive privacy management strategy, guaranteeing data anonymization, secure storage, and controlled access. Regular audits, transparent policies, and continuous staff training ensure ongoing compliance with evolving industry standards, fostering stakeholder trust and promoting ethical data practices. We remain steadfastly committed to continuous improvement and adherence to best practices in privacy protection.

Our dashboard utilizes public rental property information. No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected; all data fields, including addresses, zip codes, and property details, are publicly available.
