The Property Management Data Standard

The Six Commitments

1. 01

   Never sold, never shared.

   We never sell or share a customer’s identifiable company data. Not with vendors, not with acquirers, not with anyone — the only exceptions are service providers under contract and where the law compels us.

2. 02

   Sole-purpose use.

   Customer data exists to deliver the services the customer signed up for. It is never mined for third parties or used to sell anything back to them.

3. 03

   Removal on request.

   Disconnect anytime; synced data is deleted on a published schedule and confirmed in writing. Export is free.

4. 04

   Survives acquisition.

   These commitments bind any successor. Identifiable data does not transfer in a sale without the customer’s written consent.

5. 05

   Opt-in only.

   Nothing derived from a customer’s data is shown to any third party in identifiable form without affirmative, revocable consent — and no privacy choice ever affects the customer’s standing, score, or visibility.

6. 06

   Enforceable.

   The signed agreement carries liquidated damages for misuse — defined amounts that survive any liability cap. Not a promise. A contract.

“A company with honest intentions signs without blinking.”

Read the review rubric

How it works

1. 01

   Sign the commitment.

   An officer signs the six commitments, dated, on the public register. The 90-day implementation clock starts, visibly.

2. 02

   Implement it in your own documents.

   The commitments go into the company’s own privacy policy and terms of service — their lawyers, their words, binding on their customers. The company submits the document links when ready.

3. 03

   Review and status.

   The stewards review the documents against the published rubric — six commitments, six checks, citations required. Full alignment is green. Four or five of six is yellow, listed with the company’s own explanation of the gap for property managers to weigh. The review is repeated annually and whenever the documents materially change.

“The Standard doesn’t grade intentions. It reads the documents.”

Signatories

Every status on the register is the published rubric applied to public documents — cited, reviewed by the stewards, and refreshed annually. Companies that can’t yet meet the Standard aren’t listed or labeled; the register only ever shows who stands behind it.

Sign the Standard

Any company serving property managers may sign — platforms, PMS, maintenance, leasing, accounting, AI tools. The text is free to adopt. Submitting this form is executing the agreement — your signature is recorded immediately and listed once we verify the company.

Ask your vendors.

Every company in your stack holds your data — your PMS, your maintenance platform, your leasing tools, your accountant, your AI. The Standard only matters if operators ask for it. Copy the email below and send it to the companies you pay. Takes thirty seconds, and they’ll know it came from a customer.

Subject: Will you sign the PM Data Standard?

Hi — my company runs on software like yours, which means you hold data about my business, my owners, and my tenants. I'm asking every company in my stack to sign the PM Data Standard: six public commitments about what you'll never do with customer data, implemented in your own legal documents, on a public register.

pmdatastandard.com — it's free, it was written to be signable, and the register shows who's signed and their reviewed status. I'd like to see your company on it.
