AVUZ respects your right to privacy. This policy summarizes what personal data and other information we may collect and how we might use it. Other important topics regarding your privacy and the protection of your personal data are also described.

AVUZ has a policy of compliance with all applicable privacy and data protection regulations (GDPR). This policy reflects our commitment to earning and maintaining the trust of our customers, business partners, and others who share their personal data with us.

This policy generally applies to all websites operated by or on behalf of AVUZ.

Website Privacy Statements

While this policy applies to AVUZ, each AVUZ website has a different purpose and features. If additional or different disclosures are required for a specific AVUZ website, we will provide these disclosures on the site itself or in a separate website privacy statement posted on that site. Any individual disclosure or website privacy statement on the AVUZ website supplements or amends this policy.

Your Consent

By using the AVUZ website, you agree to this privacy policy. By providing us with personal information, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information as described in this policy and any applicable national or website privacy statements.

Voluntarily Provided Information

AVUZ collects information you knowingly and voluntarily provide to participate in an activity or use a feature on an AVUZ website. For example, AVUZ may collect information you provide when you sign up to receive email newsletters, complete a survey, request product information, ask us a question, or email us feedback. In many cases, this information will be personal data.

AVUZ uses your information for the purposes for which you provide it. For example, if you provide your email address when you sign up to receive newsletters, we use your email address to deliver the newsletters you request.

We may also use the information we collect on the AVUZ website for various business purposes, such as service, fraud prevention, improving our products and services, and to suggest potentially interesting information and offers to you and/or your company. We may also delete the personal data and use the remaining information for historical, statistical, or scientific purposes.

Automatically Collected Information

AVUZ collects information that is automatically sent to us by your web browser. This information typically includes the IP address of your internet service provider, the name of your operating system (such as Macintosh® or Windows®), and the name and version of your browser (such as Internet Explorer® or Safari®). The information we receive depends on your web browser settings. Check your browser to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings.

We use this information solely to improve our sites and make them more compatible with the technology used by our web visitors.

Cookies

A "cookie" is a data file placed on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies and similar technologies can enhance your user experience by saving your preferences, personalizing your online experience, keeping track of items in your shopping cart, and sometimes by providing advertisements tailored to your interests.

The AVUZ website may use "session cookies." A session cookie does not identify you personally and expires after you close your browser. For example, when you browse the AVUZ product catalog, we place a session cookie to mark which pages you have viewed. We can use this information to recommend other products that may be of interest to you.

The AVUZ website may also use "persistent cookies." These cookies do not expire when you close your browser. They remain on your computer until you delete them or until they expire. By assigning your computer a unique ID, we can create a database of your previous choices and preferences, which we then automatically provide on your next visit, saving you time and effort. For example, if you decide to make another purchase after one purchase, your delivery address may already be filled in and you only need to confirm it.

Cookie settings on your computer

When you first visit an AVUZ website, buttons may appear at the top of the page that allow you to allow cookies on the site or to change your usage options.
