Your Rights & Choices
Your Rights

Subject to the rights granted to other individuals, and our rights to limit or deny access/disclosure under applicable law, certain individuals have rights in Personal Data as described in this Privacy Policy (Residents of the EU may wish to review the “Additional Information for EU Residents” below). While we may notify Clients of your request, we are unable to directly fulfill rights requests regarding Personal Data we control or for which we have the necessary rights of access, and we may not have access to or control over all or some Personal Data controlled by Clients. Please contact the Client directly for data rights requests regarding Client-controlled information, and we will assist the Client as appropriate in the fulfillment of your request.

Note, we may require that you provide additional Personal Data to exercise these rights, e.g. information necessary to prove your identity. You may exercise your rights or send us any questions, comments, updates, or corrections by contacting us at 1676 N. California Blvd., Suite 400 Walnut Creek, CA 94596 or info@standishmanagement.com.

Once we receive a request for removal, we will remove your Personal Data from our records unless we have a specific legal requirement to retain your Personal Data. Except where disclosure is required by law, we may decide not to grant access or make revisions to Personal Data where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the individual’s privacy in any given case or when the rights of others would be violated by granting access. Requested deletions or changes may not be effective immediately, though we aim to address requests as soon as practicable. Please note that email communications are not always secure, so please do not include sensitive information, including credit card or other financial information, in your emails to us.
