A data subject is defined as any person who airec has obtained (voluntarily, implied, or expressed) consent, legitimate interest, or contractual necessity to retain PII. This includes any data subject who uses the airec websites, applications, submits oral or written information, or provides information via electronic forms, email, or other forms of digital transfer. The data subject has the right to ask for their data to be deleted at any time.
airec will modify or delete, or provide the data subject with access to their PII so they can make modifications or deletions upon receipt of a Data Subject Access Request (DASR). In addition to modification or deletion, a DASR can be a request both for confirmation that their data is being processed and for access to their personal data (usually in the form of an electronic report).
Any DASRs should be sent to hello@airec.io and should detail the scope, scale, and nature of the request being made. AIREC will comply with all legitimate requests within a commercially reasonable period of time (30 business days or less) at no charge to the data subject.
Report of a data breach
Airec makes every commercially reasonable effort to protect PII including using appropriate technical and organizational measures and safeguards designed to help prevent unauthorized access, unlawful Processing, and unauthorized or accidental loss of your Personal Information.
This includes, for example, the encryption of your communication with us over the Site based on the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. However, in the event of a suspected material breach, airec will report any such breach of PII to all relevant data subjects impacted.

airec Portal & Candidate Program
To assist airec in enhancing the user and customer experience, we have developed a proprietary ATS web application. If you provide information through the web app, your personally-identifiable information will be held on cloud servers located to the nearest datacenter of your location, managed by airec.
Through ATS, candidates can apply for positions with airec (through airec app) or sign up on the airec Career Page where you can be notified of any potential job openings or other similar opportunities that might be of interest to you.
We frequently visit recruiting websites and social networks such as LinkedIn. Where users of those websites have made their personally-identifiable information publicly available, airec sometimes collects this information for the airec Candidate Program. If you do not want airec to retain your personally-identifiable information collected in this way, please opt-out of our Candidate Program when notified that your personally-identifiable information has been collected.
In connection with applications that we make available for mobile devices, we may use third-party services (such as UrbanAirship, Omniture, Crittercism) to track non-personally identifiable user activity to fix errors and optimize performance.
