Privacy Policy

What information do we collect?

When you send an enquiry, we collect your name, email address and message, together with any phone number or business name you provide. The website also records the submission time, page address, IP address and browser information to handle the request, maintain records and help prevent abuse.

Our hosting and security providers process connection and request details when you visit, including IP addresses, browser or device information and service logs.

If you submit a comment, we collect your display name, email address, comment, any website address you supply, submission details and your choice about remembering comment details. An approved comment displays your name, comment, date and optional website link. Your email and IP address are not included as fields in the public comment display. Information you put in the comment text itself can become public, so please avoid confidential or sensitive details.

How do we use this information?

• To respond to enquiries, discuss requested services and manage our relationship with you.
• To follow up about our services and send related marketing communications. You can ask us to stop promotional messages as explained below.
• To operate and protect the website, prevent spam, moderate comments and investigate technical problems.
• To understand website use through optional analytics when you allow it.
• To maintain relevant business records, resolve disputes and meet applicable legal requirements.

Please do not send passwords, access codes, payment-card details or other sensitive information through the public enquiry or comment forms.

Who receives information from the website?

Enquiries and comment notifications are handled by the people authorized to manage them for Advtech. Authorized website administration and support providers may access records to operate and maintain the website.

Advtech and its service providers use enquiry information for the purposes described in this policy. We do not sell enquiry information or give it to other businesses for their own advertising.

We use Cloudflare for website delivery, database storage, form security and outgoing website notifications. Messages are also processed by the email services used by us and the recipients.

When you allow analytics, Google Analytics receives website activity, such as pages viewed, interactions, referring pages and browser or device information, using cookies and similar identifiers. Our website does not load its Google Analytics tags until you make a positive analytics choice.

Some pages also load Google Maps or Elfsight review components. Those services can receive connection and request information when their components load and may use their own browser storage. These components are separate from the analytics choice. Google may collect information about activity over time and across websites that use its services, depending on its settings and your browser controls.

Providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Read the Cloudflare Privacy Policy, Google Privacy Policy and Elfsight Privacy Policy for their practices. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or reasonably needed to address fraud, protect safety or defend legal rights.

How can you control analytics and marketing?

Select Cookie settings in the footer to allow or reject optional analytics, or change a previous choice. Analytics starts off unless a valid positive choice is saved. This choice controls website analytics; it does not sign you up for marketing or unsubscribe you from messages.

To stop promotional communications, email info@advtechinc.com and ask to opt out. We may still respond to an open enquiry or send communications needed to provide a requested service.

The website currently bases analytics loading on your saved Cookie settings choice rather than automatically changing it in response to a browser Do Not Track signal. See our Cookie Policy for storage details, controls and the separate treatment of maps, reviews and comment preferences.

How long is information kept?

Website enquiries, comment moderation records and notification records do not currently have a fixed automatic deletion period. They are kept to handle enquiries and service relationships, follow up about services, operate and moderate the website, and maintain relevant business or legal records.

Retention also depends on the purpose of the record, applicable legal requirements, unresolved matters and a request to delete information. Copies in business email and backups may follow different retention arrangements. Contact us to request a review of information held about you or its deletion; some information may need to be retained for a lawful reason.

Browser preferences and cookies have their own durations, described in the Cookie Policy.

How can you make a privacy request?

Email info@advtechinc.com or call 559-660-2080 to ask about your information, request access or correction, request deletion, or discuss a privacy concern. Tell us the nature of the request and how to contact you. We may need to verify your identity before disclosing or changing information.

Your legal rights depend on where you live and which laws apply. Where applicable, those rights may include access to information, correction, deletion, and choices about certain uses or disclosures, subject to legal exceptions. This notice describes this website and related enquiries; it does not assume that every privacy law applies to Advtech or every request.

Security and children

We use HTTPS and access controls to help protect information handled by the website. No internet service or method of storage can be guaranteed completely secure.

This website is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through it, please contact us so the matter can be reviewed.

Changes and contact

When this policy changes, we will update the date shown on this page. Additional notice will be provided where required by applicable law.

For questions about this policy, contact Advanced Technology Ventures Inc. at info@advtechinc.com or 559-660-2080.
