This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Avant CPAs & Advisors (“we,” “our,” or “the Company“) collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users (each, a ‘User‘) who access our website at www.avantcpas.com (“Site“). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services the Company offers.
Personal identification information
We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, register on the site, subscribe to the newsletter, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, an email address. Users may, however, visit our Site anonymously. We will collect only personal identification information from Users if they voluntarily submit it to us. Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site-related activities.
We encourage our Users to carefully read the Privacy Policy and use it to make informed decisions.
Non-personal identification information
We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. We are not aware of the identity of a User from which the Non-personal Information was collected. Non-personal Information that is being collected may include your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information (e.g., the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time, etc.) in order to enhance the functionality of our Site. We may also collect information on your activity on the Site (e.g. pages viewed, online browsing, clicks, actions, etc.).
Cookies
We and our trusted partners use cookies and other technologies in our related services, including when you visit our Site or access our services.
A “cookie” is a small piece of information that a website assigns to your device while you are viewing a website. Cookies are helpful and can be used for various purposes. These purposes include allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, enabling automatic activation of certain features, remembering your preferences, and making the interaction between you and our Services quicker and easier. Cookies are also used to help ensure that the advertisements you see are relevant to you and your interests and to compile statistical data on your use of our Services.
The Site uses the following types of cookies:
a. ‘session cookies‘ are stored only temporarily during a browsing session in order to allow normal use of the system and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed;
b. ‘persistent cookies‘ are read only by the Site, saved on your computer for a fixed period, and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Such cookies are used where we need to know who you are for repeat visits, for example, to allow us to store your preferences for the next sign-in;
c. ‘third party cookies‘ are set by other online services that run content on the page you are viewing, for example, by third-party analytics companies who monitor and analyze our web access.
Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but Personal Information that we store about you may be linked by us to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. You may remove the cookies by following the instructions of your device preferences; however, if you choose to disable cookies, some features of our Site may not operate properly and your online experience may be limited.
We also use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about your site use. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users access the Site, what pages they visit when they do so, etc. We only use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our Site and services. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit sites rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
