Personal information is any information concerning an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information that tells us specifically who a person is, such as a person's name, telephone number, e-mail address, home address or payment and financial information.
We may collect also other information that does not in and of itself identify a specific person. This information includes IP addresses, search terms, domain names and browser types. We use this kind of information to track usage and other patterns on our website(s) and to refine the way shoppers and viewers navigate through the website(s).
We collect personal information through two main information streams:
The first information input is provided by any visitor who gives us his/her personal information on a free basis, eg email subscription or information request. We keep a record of your name and e-mail address in order to keep track of the username and password we assigned to you if you registered as a customer. Subscription to our mailing lists supposes the transfer of a visitor's e-mail address. A visitor who orders one of our products and/or services must provide us with personal information for different purposes.
Secondly, is the cookies information input. We receive and store certain types of information whenever you visit our website(s), as outlined above. Like many websites we use "cookies", and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses our website(s).

During the visitors use of the website(s) the information we obtain is used for the sole purpose of the functioning of Avanti Glass Studio and Avanti Shops services. Secondly, we will use your e-mail address to provide you with information about our new products and services. Your personal information helpsus to improve are marketing and product development. Thirdly, if you pay for services by credit or bankcard, we will share your name with these bankcard companies, for the sole purpose of completing the transaction so that we can receive payment.
Our cookies data information input gives us the ability to improve our level of services to clients and visitors. For example a cookie is attached to a username and password registration so that we can identify our clients. This system also gives us the opportunity to collect information about the products a logged-in client has purchased in the past. Cookies are even used to help you in reaching the appropriate information and tailor your visit to your individual preferences.
We do not sell, trade, rent or disclose individually-identifiable information obtained about our clients and website visitors to anyone outside of Avanti Glass Studio or Avanti Shops, unless it is required by law, regulation, court order or other legal process.
How secure is your personal information in our hands?
