Where Regency Centers does well
- Renewals 2 of 20. Few problems found.
- In their own CCPA disclosure they state they have not sold any consumer's personal information for monetary consideration in the preceding 12 months.
- They grant privacy rights (access, deletion, correction, portability) to all individuals regardless of residency, and their site honors the Global Privacy Control signal.
- Verification data supplied for a data request is deleted after processing, and making a request does not require creating an account.
- Their text-messaging terms expressly state mobile information 'will not be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes,' and they state they do not knowingly collect data from children under 16.
Any dispute about the terms must go through forced binding arbitration in Jacksonville, FL — no court, no jury, no choice of venue.

They don't sell data for cash, but their own disclosure says their ad/analytics cookies count as a 'sale' under California law — your browsing identifiers and inferences go to analytics and ad-marketing providers.
In the preceding 12 months, we have not sold the personal information of any consumer for monetary consideration. However, our use for cookies and other tracking technologies may be considered a sale of personal information under the CCPA. Categories of personal information that we have sold under the CCPA include the following: identifiers, personal information, commercial information, internet or similar network activities, and inferences. Categories of third parties to whom personal information is sold under the CCPA include data analytics providers and advertising and marketing providers.

They can rewrite the rules any time just by updating the page — no email, no notice promised — and it's on you to keep checking.
In its sole discretion, Regency Centers may from time to time revise these Terms of Use by updating this posting. You should, therefore, periodically visit this page to review the current Terms of Use, so you are aware of any such revisions to which you are bound.

No fixed data-deletion timeline: they keep your data indefinitely as long as they consider it 'necessary' — including for possible future re-enrollment.
We will retain your personal information until the personal information is no longer necessary to accomplish the purpose for which it was provided. ... taking into account various criteria, such as the type of Services provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, possible re-enrollment with our Services...

To use their tenant payment center, you agree to let them (or their vendors) dip in and out of your checking account to 'correct errors' — open-ended debit/credit access to your bank account.
Give permission for Regency Centers to, directly or through third parties, access your checking account to apply debits and credits to correct errors.

Leasing/application forms can collect some of the most sensitive data possible — SSN, driver's license, even sexual orientation and disability status — and that data is then usable for marketing and advertising.
Application information may include certain sensitive information including, but not limited to, social security number, driver's license information, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and disability status.
How these were found
Both source documents were read in full via text fetch from the official regencycenters.com domain on October 1, 2026. Neither the Terms of Service nor the Privacy Policy displayed a 'Last Updated' or version date in the fetched text, so version dates could not be verified. Regency Centers is a retail REIT whose website is primarily informational and investor/tenant-facing (leasing, properties, investor relations) — there are almost no consumer transactions, accounts, or subscriptions, so the modest score reflects what actually exists rather than absence of evidence; tenant-facing portal/payment-center terms may differ and were not separately researched. No mirror was used; no access block was encountered.
