Privacy Notice

Avantis Systems Limited is committed to protecting the privacy of the users of our Web site. The information we collect is used exclusively to facilitate services that we provide to you. We value your privacy and will take all necessary steps to protect it.

Types of information requested

There are several different types of registration on our site including contact us forms, newsletter subscription forms, customer registration, product registration, partner registration, and e-commerce purchase information. We will ask you to create a user name and password for customer, product and partner registration. We collect your name, job function, organisation, postal address, telephone, e-mail and fax if needed. For your safety, we do not collect or store credit card information for online purchases so you will have to enter that each time you make a purchase on our site. Registered customers and partners are granted access to select content not available to unregistered users.

Opt Out

We sometimes use the contact information from the registration forms above to send you information about our company and our products and services. This contact information is also used to contact you when necessary. If you do not wish to receive information on Avantis products and services you can opt out by ticking the relevant box in the registration form. Avantis e-newsletters and e-promotions are opt-in only. If at any time you receive unwanted information from Avantis please contact us and we will remove you from our database.

Security and Enforcement

Avantis protects your information from loss, misuse, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure by encrypting e-commerce forms and by requiring employees with access to personal data to comply with our privacy policy. Any employee who violates or abuses the Avantis privacy practices is subject to disciplinary action, including termination of employment and may be subject to legal proceedings. We protect your credit card information from loss, misuse, alteration, or unauthorised disclosure by encrypting the data which you provide us with current encryption tools, including HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) and SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocols.
