How We Use Your Personal Data

Advante takes your Privacy seriously. We will use personal data only for the specific purpose(s) for which that data was obtained and in compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Advante will be collecting and using your personal data so as to:

  • Process your online orders and provide any information, products or services requested by you.

We must have a legal basis for processing such personal data outlined above, and there are six lawful bases under the GDPR:

  • Consent: Personal data may be processed if the individual has given express consent for processing data for a specific purpose;
  • Contract: personal data may be processed so as to perform obligations under a contract between the individual and Data Controller or where the individual asks the Data Controller to perform certain measures before an agreement is reached;

  • Vital Interest: Personal data may be processed to protect someone’s life;
  • Legitimate Interest: Personal data may be processed in pursuit of the Data Controller’s legitimate interests or the legitimacy of a third party, provided that the legitimate interests do not impair the data subject’s rights and freedoms.

We will be processing your personal data under the following lawful bases:

  • Consent: We rely on your consent to process data so as to provide our products and services.
  • Performance of contractual obligations: We will collect your personal data as necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations under any agreement between you and Advante and to ensure that relevant order and transaction information is sent to your preferred communication channel (email or mailing address.)

Website usage data that contain personal identifiers will not be collected. We may also send you marketing and promotional information that we believe would be useful to you and our interests.

If you are a resident of the EU/EEA, you, as a data subject, have the following rights in accordance with the GDPR:

  • You have the right to access any personal information Advante processes about you and request a free copy of the information about what personal data we hold about you.

Advante does not share or disclose your personal data to third parties unless you expressly consent. Please note, however, that we may share or disclose your information for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or where there is a legal obligation to do so.

Advante uses Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our site and improve its functionality. Please note that Google Analytics is a third-party service acting on our behalf. In this case, Google is our data processor. Google has implemented measures to comply with the GDPR and other protection laws, including IP anonymisation and signing a data processing agreement with us as the data controller. Google has developed a Google Analytics opt-out browser extension. If you want to opt out of Google Analytics usage data tracking, please download it and install it on your browser.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is web analytics software developed by Google. Google Analytics may set and use tracking cookies (cookie identifier) to monitor how users interact with our website. The data collected by Google Analytics may include internet protocol address (which will be transmitted and stored in Google servers), geolocation data, page views, bounce rate, website load time, and server connection and response information. Google uses data from Google Analytics to measure how web traffic arrives on our site and understand which traffic converts to sales; evaluate how users interact with Advante (including, for example, page views, average time on the site, and/or clicks on call to actions on the site; measure the effectiveness of the site content; compile and supply to us analytical reports on website usage. We use data shared by Google to improve our services, optimise content, and show you ads based on your interaction with our website. Please note that Google does not combine data categories to identify you. To prevent personal data from being sent to Google Analytics, we have enabled the IP anonymisation feature of Google Analytics. This feature will anonymise online identifiers (IP address, user ID, etc.), which are considered personal data under the GDPR. If we use Google Analytics to set tracking cookies and collect online identifiers, we will provide you with the mechanism to opt out of one or several ways of our use of Google Analytics.

For more information about Google Analytics cookies, what they do and how to opt out of them, please visit Google’s help pages and privacy policy.

Protecting personal data

Advante takes every reasonable effort and care to protect your information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. In this regard, we have implemented technical and organisational measures, including data encryption before being transmitted over the internet, pseudonymisation of personal data identifiers, and regular malware scanning.

Transfers Outside the EU

Advante uses certain third-party services that may be hosted outside of the EU (for example, Google). These services may collect and transfer personal data submitted by you through the site outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) for web analytics, email marketing and payment processing. Please note, therefore, that when you use the site, certain personal information may be processed on servers outside of the EU. In these cases, we will ensure that the providers we work with implement adequate protection for your data and comply with data processing agreements and procedures set out by Advante to protect your data and comply with the applicable data protection laws.
