or other functions on our behalf.
3 - Information that we gather.
a - Information you give us: we receive and store any information you enter
on our website or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide
certain information but then you might not be able to take advantage of some
of our features.

we use "cookies" and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Avizandum.com.
A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously.

4 - Cookies
Cookies are small programs that we transfer to your computer's hard drive
through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognise your browser
and to provide features such as personalised greetings and storage of items
in your Shopping Basket between visits. The Help menu on the menu bar of most
browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies,
how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how
to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage
of some of Avizandum.com's features and we recommend that you leave them
turned on. If you do leave cookies turned on, be sure to sign off when you
finish using a shared computer.
5 - Sharing Information
Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we do
not sell it to others. Avizandum.com shares customer information only as
described below.
a - Third Parties: we do not share customer information with third parties.
b - Agents: we may 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, analysing 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. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance
with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by the UK's Data Protection Act.
c - Promotional offers: we may send offers to selected groups of Avizandum.com
customers. If you do not want to receive such offers, please adjust your Preferences.

new shops or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally
is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises
made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer
consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Avizandum.com and its
assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred
assets.
e - Legal Requirements: we release account and other personal information
when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law, or to enforce
or apply our Conditions of Use of Avizandum.com. This might include exchanging
information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and
credit risk reduction. This does not include selling, renting, sharing or
otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for
commercial purposes.

receive notice when information about you might go to third parties and you
will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy
Notice and as permitted by the UK's Data Protection Act.
