Use of Cookies

What Are Cookies?
As is common practice with almost all professional websites this site uses cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer and managed by your web browser. More than one cookie may be placed on a user’s device during a session. Cookies serve useful and sometimes essential functions on the web.

AAIR uses cookies provided by trusted third parties to support the collection of website analytics (Microsoft Clarity) and payment transactions (PayPal). Analytics are used to track and measure usage of the site so that we can continue to produce engaging content.

Disabling Cookies
Selected cookies can be disabled via the AAIR Cookie Consent banner which appears when you first access the site. You can manually prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser Help for how to do this). Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit. Disabling cookies will usually result in also disabling certain functionality and features of the site. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not disable cookies.

Links

This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Security of your Personal Information

AAIR secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol. When personal information is transmitted (including PayPal and all emails sent from the AAIR website), it is protected through the use of encryption using TLS. TLS has replaced and has many enhancements over Secure Socket Layer (SSL). TLS is a cryptographic protocol that provides end-to-end security of data sent between applications over the Internet. It is mostly familiar to users through its use in secure web browsing, and in particular the padlock icon that appears in web browsers when a secure session is established.

AAIR strives to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that:

  1. There are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control; and
  2. Security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed.

Right to Deletion

Subject to certain exceptions set out below, on receipt of a verifiable request from you, we will delete your personal information from our records.

Please note that we may not be able to comply with requests to delete your personal information if it is necessary to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected to provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between you and us;
  2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity;
  3. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act;
  4. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, provided we have obtained your informed consent;
  5. Comply with an existing legal obligation.

Changes to this Statement

AAIR reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account, by placing a prominent notice on our website, and/or by updating any privacy information. Your continued use of the website and/or Services available after such notifications will constitute your:
