  • Legitimate Interests legal basis – Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party provided any interests or rights that you have as an individual do not override our rights.   
  • Vital Interests legal basis – Processing is necessary to protect the vital interest of an individual.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, as set out in this Policy and, if applicable, in Fund documents. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will contact you.

With whom do we share your personal data?

We share only that personal information that we are permitted by law to share and will only share such information in a manner that complies with applicable law, including GDPR and the DPL, and U.S. data protection laws where applicable. 

We share your information with others as follows:

  • Harrison Street affiliates: including their management, staff and contractors;

We also disclose information in the following circumstances:

  • Business Transfers: if (i) we or our affiliates are or may be acquired by, merged with, or invested in by another company, or (ii) if any of our assets are or may be transferred to another company, whether as part of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise, we may transfer the information we have collected from you to the other company.  As part of the business transfer process, we may share certain of your personal information with lenders, auditors, and third-party advisors, including attorneys and consultants.
  • In Response to Legal Process: we disclose your information to comply with the law, a judicial proceeding, court order, or other legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena.

Security

To protect your personal information, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to comply with the applicable laws.  We train our employees in the proper handling of personal data.

How long do we keep your data?

We generally keep your information as needed to securely render our business, close transactions and to deal with claims.  This will depend on several factors such as whether you or your company or organization are an existing client or have interacted with recent client mailings or bulletins or attended recent events.  We will retain your information as necessary to comply with legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.  We will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for the purposes explained above.

Direct Marketing

With your consent, when required by applicable law, we may use the information you give us for direct marketing purposes to provide emails, newsletters and other messages to keep you informed of investment opportunities, recent developments, market insights and of our services including events that we think may interest you. 

You can opt-out of receiving direct marketing from us at any time.  You can do this by contacting us at the contact details provided below or clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send you.

Children

We do not intend to or knowingly collect information from children or other persons who are under 18 years old.  If you are under 18 years old, you may not submit any personal data to us. If we discover that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our systems.

Our use of cookies and other tracking mechanisms

We and our third-party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our Site or Services.  We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our third-party service providers may do so on our behalf). For more information about our cookies practices please read our cookie policy.

Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can use our “Cookies Settings” tool on our website to refuse cookies on our website, or you can edit your browser options to block future cookies.  The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.  Visitors to our Site and Services who disable cookies will be able to browse the Site, but some features may not function. 

Do-Not-Track. Currently, our systems do not recognize browser “do-not-track” requests.  You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in this section (e.g., by disabling cookies); you also may opt-out of targeted advertising by following the instructions in the Third-Party Ad Network section.

Third-Party Ad Networks

We use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on our Site, App, and on third-party websites or other media (e.g., social networking platforms).  This enables us and these third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested.  Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs and other tracking technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you.  These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one.  We may provide these third-party advertisers with information, including personal information, about you such as your web-browsing histories or IP address.

Users in the United States may opt out of many third-party ad networks.  For example, you may go to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Consumer Choice Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and your choices regarding having information used by DAA companies.  You may also go to the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Page for information about opting out of interest-based advertising and your choices regarding having information used by NAI members.

Opting out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page or the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page will opt you out from those companies’ delivery of interest-based content or ads to you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through our Site, Services, or on other websites.  You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextually based ads).  Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt out may not be effective.  Additional information is available on the DAA’s website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI’s website at www.networkadvertising.org.

Cookie Policy

Effective Date: April 30, 2021

This Cookie Policy explains how Harrison Street Real Estate Capital LLC (“Harrison Street”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and other trackers to ensure security, provide functionality, serve ads based on your online behavior and enhance user experience for people (“visitors” or “users”) who visit our website at https://harrisonst.com (“Site”).

If you would like to read this Cookie Policy in one continuous document or would like to print it, please click here.

1. What are cookies and other trackers?

Cookies are text files that are placed on your computer or mobile or handheld device (such as smartphones or tablets) when you visit certain pages on the Internet. They are used to “remember” when your computer or device accesses this Site. Cookies are stored in your browser. A cookie will help the Site, or another website, to recognize your device the next time you visit. Most cookies won’t collect information that directly identifies you as a person, and will instead collect more general information such as how visitors arrive at and use our Site. Cookies may, however, be used to create a profile of the visitor’s activities on the Internet which can be used (for example) to try to predict the visitor’s purchasing and behavioral preferences.

We may also use Flash Local Storage Objects (“Flash LSOs”) to store your Site preferences and to personalize your visit. Flash LSOs are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data stored. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of Flash LSOs through your web browser. For more information on Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings for Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions. To see the Flash LSOs currently on your computer, choose “Website Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions to review and, if you choose, to delete any specific Flash LSO.

Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your device’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (also called web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Site to, among other things, track the activities of Site visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Site usage. We and our third party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

2. Types of cookies

Session cookies

Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the visitor’s device when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies

This type of cookie is saved on your device for a fixed pre-defined period of time (usually several months) and is not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to be able to recognize your device for more than one browsing session. Persistent cookies used on this Site generally have a maximum lifespan of up to 13 months, or exceptionally 2 years; please see below for further details.

First party cookies

First party cookies are set by the website you are visiting and they can only be read by that site.

Third party cookies

Third party cookies are not set by the owner of the website you are visiting, but by a different organization. For example, advertisers and other third parties may use their own cookies when you click on an advertisement or link on our Site, or we might engage a third party analytics company that will set their own cookie to perform this service.

3. Categories of cookies

The different types of cookies set out above can be categorized as follows:

Necessary cookies

These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Site, such as to ensure security. Other necessary cookies allow us to provide services that you expressly request. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off (although in some cases you can change your requests). You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of our Site may not work if you block these types of cookies.

Analytics cookies

These allow us to analyze Site usage, namely to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Site works, for example, by ensuring that visitors are finding what they are looking for easily. If you do not consent to these types of cookies we will not be able to improve our Sites based on information from your visit.

Functionality cookies

These cookies are used to provide certain functionalities to you by recognizing you when you return to our Site so that we can offer you a better experience on this Site. For instance, this enables us to set a cookie to store your preferences regarding the cookies on our Site.

Advertisement cookies

These cookies are used to tailor advertising and content to your interests (“Targeting”), both within and beyond our Sites. These cookies record your visit to our Site, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Site and the Targeting displayed on it, and the marketing messages we send to you, more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties who provide a service to us for this purpose. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the Targeting campaign and to monitor from which Targeting source a visitor was directed towards our Site so that we know whether it is worth for us to invest in that particular Targeting source.

These cookies may be set through our Site or by our third party Targeting partners. They may be used by those advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and Internet device. If you do not consent to these types of cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising (but not less advertising overall).

4. Lifespans

The various cookies used by our Site have different lifespans. Session cookies will be deleted once you close your browser. Persistent cookies implemented on our Site will be kept for a period of time that does not exceed 13 months, or exceptionally 2 years. Please refer to the cookies table below to learn about the specific lifespans of the cookies we use.

5. What cookies do we use?

We use different categories of both session and persistent cookies on our Site, which can either be first or third party cookies.

Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation

Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation

Summary

Harrison Street Advisors, LLC (the “Firm”) considers the principal adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors. The present statement is the consolidated principal adverse sustainability impact statement of the Firm for the purposes of regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector.

The principal adverse impacts statement covers the reference period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 and will be disclosed prior to 30 June 2023.

Since inception in 2005, Harrison Street has sought to combine innovation and process rigor to execute differentiated strategies that improve the lives of its stakeholders. In 2013 Harrison Street began a formal effort to expand its focus and reporting of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects of the business, which included its first submission to GRESB. To date, robust policies and procedures have been implemented to integrate ESG considerations into investment management processes and ownership practices in the belief that these factors can have an impact on financial performance.

These processes include an ESG policy which the Firm first established in 2013, and updates annually.  The policy applies across corporate and investment operations and provides a framework for ESG integration.  In addition, since 2014 the Firm publishes a Corporate Impact report annually, which presents the Firm’s strategy, goals and performance of the previous year.  Stakeholder feedback is critical to the ESG initiative and is collected at least every three years to update the Firm’s priority list of most material ESG issues, including sustainability impacts and indicators.

Today, the Firm seeks to make an impact, a vision that encompasses not only the discrete impact of assets but also the positive societal and environmental benefit created through the Firms’ investment activities. 

ESG is integrated into each investment vehicle.  Our annual Corporate Impact Report, found in the Impact section of the Firm’s website, highlights this integration with respect to specific funds.

Description of policies to identify and prioritise principal adverse sustainability impacts

Harrison Street Advisors, LLC  established its ESG policy for the first time in 2013, which was last updated December 2022.

The policy applies across corporate and investment operations and provides a framework for ESG integration. The Firm’s approach is defined in two parts, Corporate Operations and Investment Operations. Within Investment Operations, each investment vehicle follows this framework to define a specific approach to ESG integration that aligns with the investment strategy, control, asset class, investment time horizon, and portfolio construction. Execution of the policy resides across the Firm’s various departments. ESG is integrated throughout the Firm. The overall initiative is overseen by the Firm’s Chief Impact Officer and the Sustainability Leadership Team. The team leaders report activities and progress toward meeting ESG objectives quarterly to Harrison Street’s Executive Committee and the Firm at large.

In the Firm’s 2017 materiality assessment, the topics of highest priority were more focused on the individual issues within assets. In 2020, the results show focus is moving toward a more global, collective mindset. Instead of focusing singularly on energy reduction, the Firm will be focusing on net carbon emissions which includes energy reduction but also includes topics like clean energy procurement, on-site renewable energy development, and on-site fuel choices. In addition, the focus on tenant satisfaction will be broadened to encompass a complete picture about the residents and tenants served at assets, encompassing health, wellness, safety, and even affordability.

Sustainability metrics are integrated into due diligence processes, and evaluation criteria include alignment with the Firm governance and ethics standards, presence of certifications, and opportunity for increased efficiency in the future. Internal due diligence policies, procedures, and checklists are defined for specific asset classes and investment vehicles. ESG risks and opportunities are captured in the initial investment underwriting process, the Investment Committee presentation, and during the due diligence period.

The Firm seeks to develop or acquire assets that prioritize high efficiency standards and occupant health attributes. Development partners are engaged in enhancing their sustainable practices in design, construction, and operation. The Firm offers guidance resources and access to expert consultants to evaluate sustainable building strategies and ensure long-term economic benefit and tenant well-being. The Firm collaborates with development partners to integrate viable sustainability strategies into project proforma and design plans on a case-by-case basis, considering location, building type, tenant population, and portfolio goals. Harrison Street’s Asset Management team continues to monitor the property during the development phase and engages third-party vendors to review construction drawings to determine energy optimization and utility expense estimates.

The Firm recognizes that changing climate conditions can impact the operation, performance, and value of real assets. Natural disasters pose a high potential financial loss to assets in key geographic areas, and other societal risks (like geopolitical disruptions or pandemics) influence the operational performance of assets. Therefore, the Firm has implemented resilience and risk management procedures in order to recognize and plan for these events, thus supporting long-term value creation and minimizing risk. These practices are continuously evaluated and enhanced as the global landscape of risks and evaluation processes evolve.

For key environmental indicators, such as energy efficiency, GHG emissions and energy intensity, the Firm uses the energy management platform called Conservice/Goby, which both captures and calculates this information.  The social indicators are captured in both initial and ongoing management and company background checks.

Engagement policies

Partners, investors, and employees are engaged in and educated about Harrison Street’s ethics policies. Training on ethics, anti-corruption, and specialized topics like foreign corrupt practices and cybersecurity are provided annually, during quarterly certifications, and when new regulations or situations arise. Investment policies and procedures promote compliance with the SEC’s Investment Advisor requirements and assist the Firm in preventing, detecting, and correcting violations. Policies against bribery and corruption are maintained, consistent with the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws in other countries. Anti–money laundering checks are conducted for every new investor and background checks are conducted on all new joint venture partners and employees.

In addition, Harrison Street recognizes that incorporating the feedback of its stakeholders is vital to delivering superior investment strategies and a focused ESG strategy. The Firm regularly engages with employees, investors, third-party operators, joint venture partners, tenants/residents, lenders, and consultants to understand priorities and concerns. Forums for engagement include the annual investor conference and advisory board meetings for each fund, annual operating partner sector-specific conferences, quarterly investor webinars, satisfaction surveys, and a materiality survey conducted at least every three years. Ad hoc feedback from industry conferences, one-on-one calls, industry trade magazines, and webinars is also integrated into materiality assessments.

As mentioned above, stakeholder feedback is critical to the ESG initiative and is collected at least every three years to update the Firm’s priority list of most material ESG issues, including sustainability impacts and indicators.  In addition, annually the Firm updates and publishes its ESG policy to reflect changes or enhancements to the ESG policy, if warranted, due to changes in stakeholder demands.

Reference to international standards

The ESG Frameworks the Firm follows include:

  • GRESB Real Estate
  • GRESB Infrastructure
  • TCFD (Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures
  • UN PRI (Principles for Responsible Investing)
  • GRI Standards (Global Reporting Initiative)

Annually, the Firm submits to GRESB and UN PRI, follows GRI Standards in our Corporate Impact Report, and completes TCFD requirements.

The Firm uses results from reports such as GRESB to identify areas of improvement. The assessments themselves do not predict future performance, but rather are lagging indicators of how one was performing in the previous calendar year.  Identifying areas where full points were not awarded, and then setting goals to lessen the gap are how forward-looking scenarios are executed.  These goals then roll into the broader ESG strategy.
