What is airec?

Airec is an AI-powered recruitment platform providing its recruitment softwares to receive candidate CVs and information and used by companies who may need to provide us with personally-identifiable information (“PII”), thereby becoming “Data Subjects”, in order for airec to commercially represent their interests in the market.

airec, its related entities, affiliates, and assigns (airec.io “us” or “we”) take the protection of your privacy very seriously. We are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your PII, which is defined as any information that is capable of identifying you as an individual person as you submit information to our website (orally, in writing, or by electronic or digital means), use this Site and the airec Recruitment and Coaching Portal, and other related airec applications. To make sure your personal information is secure, we communicate data privacy and security guidelines to our employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within the company. The scope of our data privacy commitment is described in this Privacy Policy.

airec only retains PII where it has a legal and legitimate business interest defined as Consent, Legitimate Interest, or Contractual Necessity. We make every effort to adhere to all relevant standards. By submitting or making available personally-identifiable information in any form to airec, you consent to become a “data subject” and further consent to airec’s use of such personally-identifiable information as described herein. Please see our terms of use for more information about our online terms and policies in general.

Your name and contact information are never shared with these employers unless and until you choose to respond to or apply for a specific opportunity presented to you.

How can users access, modify, or request deletion of PII?

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).

DASR Submission Protocol:

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.

5

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.

Mobile applications

In connection with applications that we make available for mobile devices, we may use third-party services to track and analyze non-personally identifiable user activity in order to fix errors, monitor usage, and improve the performance of the applications.

Omniture tracks and reports on some of our mobile applications’ usage and browsing patterns, including information about the type of device used, articles accessed, and other events occurring within our apps. Crittercism tracks certain errors occurring within mobile applications. None of these third parties gather information in a manner intended to identify any particular user personally.

Our mobile applications may include integration with various social-networking sites, including Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, and Twitter. If you enable and use these features within an application, the extent to which your activities and information are tracked is governed by the relevant user agreement you have in place with such a third party.
