PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) of Apartment Income REIT
Corp. (collectively, with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “AIR
Communities,” “we,” or “us”) describes the privacy practices for
AIR Communities in connection with information we collect from you
online through AIR Communities’s website located at
www.AIRCommunities.com and through our other online activities,
including, without limitation, the AIR Communities Online Leasing
web application (collectively, the “Site”). The purpose of this
Privacy Policy is to inform you about the types of information we
gather about you, including information gathered when you visit the
Site, and information we may receive from third parties or
affiliates in addition to that online information, how we may use
that information, whether we disclose that information to anyone,
and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to
correct, the information. AIR Communities strives to help visitors
of the Site protect their privacy while using the Site. By using
the Site, you expressly consent to the use and disclosure of
information as described in this Privacy Policy.
How We Collect Information
We may collect information in several ways by your use of the Site,
as well as from forms you submit to us (such as our “Request a
Call” form), personal correspondence, such as emails or letters
that you send to us, or any other activity through which you
identify yourself. We may ask you to voluntarily provide us with
personal information on the Site, for example, by creating an
account to pay rent or submit a service request via the Site, by
submitting a rental application to a property online or by creating
a profile in the Career Opportunities area of the Site. In
addition, when you log onto the Site, our servers may log your IP
address, the URL of your request and other information that is
provided in the HTTP header. Also, our third-party service
providers may ask you voluntarily to provide personal information
on their websites and may share such personal information with us,
as governed by their respective privacy policies. Our use of
information received from a service provider will be dictated by
the service provider’s privacy policies and not this Privacy
Policy. We collect two types of information: personally
identifiable information and non-personally identifiable
information. Personally identifiable information is information
that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you
(“Personally Identifiable Information”). We also may collect
information that by itself typically cannot be used to identify or
contact you, such as demographic information (such as age,
profession or gender), user IP addresses, browser types, domain
names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of
our Site (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”). Personally
Identifiable Information we collect may include your name, email
addresses, postal addresses, ZIP code, telephone number, date of
birth, marital status, gender, age, user name and password, and
other information either desirable or necessary to provide services
to our customers and visitors. If you sign up for certain services,
complete a rental application, complete an employment application,
or choose to pay your rent or submit a service request through the
Site, then we may collect financial information (such as credit
card information, bank account number and routing information,
current employment information--including salary, employer, and job
title, information about your current financial obligations, other
sources of income, and credit history); information regarding your
desired employment with AIR Communities (such as desired employment
position, start date, salary and location, employment, educational
and criminal history); information about other permanent residents
of an apartment you seek to rent from AIR Communities--including
their social security number and date of birth; additional personal
information to allow us to perform a background check or otherwise
assess your eligibility to rent an apartment at an AIR Communities
property (such as your social security number, your driver’s
license number, your passport number, whether you smoke cigarettes,
prior addresses and rent paid at prior residences, your history of
loan default, and your criminal history); and/or information
required of residents of AIR Communities properties (including
information regarding an emergency contact for you--including the
name, address, phone number and email address of a relative or
other emergency contact, information about your pets and
information about your vehicle). We may also collect information
about you such as your use of the Site and communication
preferences. To the extent we are able to do so, we may link your
Non-Personally Identifiable Information with your Personally
Identifiable Information. We may also link information collected
online with information we collect offline or information collected
online by third parties. Like many other websites, AIR Communities
may use cookies to customize content specific to your interests and

information to third parties where required to do so by law, or
where such third parties process the information on Google’s

appropriate settings on your browser. Please note that by doing so,

use of cookies by Google Analytics is covered by Google’s privacy

collected from you to provide services which you have requested
from us; including, without limitation, transmitting your rental
application to the property of interest, or allowing you to pay
your rent or submit a service request online. We may also use your
