Optional original-data research
Acrelio offers a separate, optional setting labeled ‘Contribute anonymized data to Acrelio’s industry reports.’ It is off by default, is not part of accepting the Terms of Service, and is separate from marketing and affiliate-cookie choices. Declining or withdrawing does not change your subscription, price, features or support. Manage the choice at /settings/research or contact support@acrelio.app.
If you opt in and confirm a real U.S. rental portfolio with amounts in USD, a restricted database job may derive portfolio-level numerical summaries of recorded rent collection, late-fee charges, tracked vacancy, estimated vacancy rent loss, maintenance activity, known maintenance costs and recorded expense mix. Only full calendar quarters beginning after consent qualify; earlier records are not backfilled. An independent-landlord enrollment review is also required. Administrative, test and duplicate portfolios are excluded during that review.
The research dataset excludes tenant-level records and tenant identifiers, names, contact details, property addresses, precise locations, free text, messages, documents and photos. Geography is limited to broad regions and portfolio size to broad bands. The collector reads the relevant numerical operating fields inside the database; the drafting model receives only approved group statistics and has no access to operating tables or individual contribution rows. A landlord’s choice does not authorize publication of tenant information or replace any notice or legal basis required for processing underlying rental records.
Internal portfolio contribution rows use random identifiers and a separately restricted account link so withdrawal and deletion can be honored. Those internal records remain pseudonymous, not guaranteed anonymous. Only grouped statistics that pass minimum-cohort, contribution-cap and overlapping-cut checks may appear in a publicly approved report, article, downloadable PDF or press kit. The initial minimum is thirty contributing landlord accounts per metric; small groups and their denominators are suppressed. Thresholds and caps reduce disclosure risk and are not a guarantee against all re-identification.
We maintain and use published statistics in de-identified, aggregated form and do not attempt to re-identify contributors. We do not sell individual research contribution rows or disclose them to advertisers. Published statistics may be cited and linked by readers, press and AI assistants. Reports identify the self-selected Acrelio sample and its limitations; survey results and public benchmarks are labeled separately.
Turning the setting off stops future collection, removes linked research contributions and invalidates affected unpublished drafts in the same transaction. Account deletion also removes linked contributions. Already published group statistics remain because an individual contribution cannot be separated from the published result. Internal linked contributions are retained for a rolling window of approximately eighteen months; unpublished drafts expire after ninety days. Minimal consent and review records are retained with your account as needed to honor choices, document authorization and meet applicable obligations. Contact support for a privacy or deletion request.
