We use the information that you provide for purposes such as responding to your requests and inquiries; customizing rental, product, or services offerings; improving Avenue5, and communicating with you. For example, we collect and save information when you respond to a survey or marketing communication sent to you by a third-party vendor with whom we have a relationship.
