We we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at Avant Technology if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Account Settings.
Information from Other Sources
For reasons such as improving personalization of our service (for example, providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.

However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of Avant Technology coolest features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Does Avant Technology Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only with the subsidiaries Avant Technology controls and as described below.
Agents
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Promotional Offers
Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of Avant Technology customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please adjust your Account Settings.
Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event that Avant Technology, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
