Zumper, Inc.

Zumper is a comprehensive rental marketplace that connects renters with landlords and property managers across the United States and Canada. The platform functions as an end-to-end service, allowing users to search for properties, submit digital rental applications with credit and background checks, and in some cases, pay rent directly through the site. For renters, Zumper compiles extensive personal and sensitive information, including contact details, rental history, income, and household information, which is then shared with potential landlords. This centralization of sensitive data creates privacy risks, as a data breach could expose a wealth of personal information that could be exploited for identity theft, fraud, or targeted harassment. The platform's data collection from both individuals and third-party sources contributes to detailed user profiles. To mitigate these risks, individuals should be cautious about the amount of personal information they share online and can manage their data by reviewing Zumper's privacy settings and submitting requests regarding their personal information.
