If AIRE does identify you with this information (for example, if you have been logged onto an online AIRE service), any use or disclosure of that information will be in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

AIRE’s DATA GUARANTEE

This data guarantee relates to the trade data belonging to you that is managed by RITA in order to deliver her service.

WE DON’T MIX YOUR DATA WITH COMPETITORS

All of your data is clearly stored as belonging to you.  All of our algorithms use your data: and your data alone.

WE DON’T STORE YOUR LOGIN CREDENTIALS

Your CRM login is entered directly to connect Rita. to it, and this is done before she completes the first analysis. She doesn’t store the credentials you provide for her to access the CRM, so she can’t share them with anyone or any other application – ever.

NO-ONE CAN EXPORT YOUR DATA IN BULK

Our solution only displays details about contacts in very limited number.  For example, in our daily campaigns of one suggestion to your agents, there will only be a limited number of contact details sent.  You can’t export entire data sets from anywhere in our solution.

WE DON’T USE PASSWORDS

In order to access the Rita. interface we use an enhanced security feature known as passwordless login. Users enter their email address and we send a single-use access link that expires after a limited amount of time.  The rise of password theft (commonly called ‘Phishing’) means that passwords are generally the weakest point in your data’s security.

WE WILL NEVER SELL YOUR DATA

We have nothing to gain by breaching our customer’s trust in this area.  In fact, we have everything to lose. Generally speaking, strict privacy regulations would prevent us from doing this anyway, but even so, we recognise that this goes away from our core goal.  We want to help you to build real value in your data. And we believe that value is yours, and yours alone, to capitalise on.
