Technologies’ website (currently, https://availedtechnologies.com), or directly by Availed
Technologies representatives (collectively, the “website”).
Availed Technologies welcomes questions and comments on this Privacy Statement

Technologies will make a reasonable effort to advise you in advance of the purposes for
which your personal information is being collected, used, and disclosed.
When you provide or submit your personal information to Availed Technologies, we

permitted by applicable law.
Subject to legal or contractual restrictions, on reasonable notice, you may withdraw or
vary your consent to Availed Technologies’ collection, use and disclosure of your
personal information by submitting a written request to Availed Technologies’ Privacy
Officer using the contact information above. If you withdraw or vary your consent, there
may be products and services that Availed Technologies can no longer supply to you.
In this Privacy Statement, “personal information” means any information that can be
used to individually identify you from a larger group, such as data including, but not
limited to, your:
● first and last name;

● state/region/province;
● company name; and
● information you include in free text boxes or messages to us.
2. How Availed Technologies Collects Personal
Information
(a) Direct Collection:
Although Availed Technologies collects personal information primarily from the
individual involved, Availed Technologies may also collect personal information from
other authorized sources.
You may be asked to provide or submit your personal information to Availed
Technologies when you contact Availed Technologies to discuss our products or
services, place an order for our products and services, register to create a Availed
Technologies account, subscribe for Availed Technologies services including our
newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, submit an inquiry, or when you are
otherwise in contact with Availed Technologies, or its representatives. In those
circumstances, you can choose not to provide or submit your personal information, but
then we might not be able to fully respond to you.
(b) Automatic Collection:
Availed Technologies’ website may automatically collect certain information regarding
your use of the website, such as the dates and times you access Availed Technologies’
website and the browsers, operating systems and devices you use to access the
website. Availed Technologies may use that information for various purposes, including
to administer and improve Availed Technologies’ website. Some of the tools we use to
automatically collect information about you may include:
● Cookies: Availed Technologies’ website and email messages may also use
“cookies” and other similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixel or gif tags,
and action tags. Those technologies collect information that assists Availed
Technologies to improve Availed Technologies services, advertising and
customer communications. Availed Technologies may use information collected
through cookies and similar technologies to recognize you as a user of Availed
Technologies’ website, determine your general location, track your use of
Availed Technologies’ website, offer personalized online content, information
and advertisements, and otherwise facilitate and improve your use of Availed
Technologies’ website. Cookies are usually defined in one of two ways, and we
may use either (or both) of them: (i) session cookies, which do not stay on your
device after you close your browser, and (2) persistent cookies, which remain
on your device until you delete them or they expire. You may choose to decline
or disable cookies if your web browser permits, but doing so may affect your
ability to access or use certain features of Availed Technologies’ website.
● Web Beacons: A web beacon is an electronic image. Web beacons can track
certain things from your computer and can report activity back to a web server
allowing us to understand some of your behavior. If you choose to receive
emails from us, we may use web beacons to track your reaction to our emails.
We may also use them to track if you click on the links and at what time and
date you do so. Some of the third-party marketers we engage with may use
web beacons to track your interaction with online advertising banners on our
website. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be
linked to your personal information. Please note that any image file on a
webpage can act as a web beacon.
● Embedded Web Links: Links provided in our emails and, in some cases, on
third-party websites may include tracking technology embedded in the link. The
tracking is accomplished through a redirection system. The redirection system
allows us to understand how the link is being used by email recipients. Some of
these links will enable us to identify that you have personally clicked on the link
and this may be attached to the personal information that we hold about you.
This data is used to improve our service to you and to help us understand the
performance of our marketing campaigns.
(c) Location-Based Services
Availed Technologies may provide location-based services, including marketing and
promotions specific to your location and the calculation of prices in local currency. To do
so, Availed Technologies may collect and use information regarding the geographic
location of your computer or mobile device. If the location data contains your personal
information, then Availed Technologies will treat the location data as personal
information in accordance with this Privacy Statement. If the location data is collected
anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you, then Availed Technologies
will treat the location data as non-personal information in accordance with this Privacy
Statement. If location data does contain personal information, then we will ask for your
consent prior to collecting that data. You may configure your computer or mobile device
to either transmit or not transmit location data to Availed Technologies, but prohibiting
such transmission may preclude Availed Technologies from providing you with certain
services or website features.
You may opt-out of receiving emails in accordance with this Privacy Statement. We will
not intentionally send you email newsletters and marketing emails unless you consent
to receive such marketing information. After you request to receive these emails, you
may opt out of them at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of
each email. Please note that by opting out or unsubscribing you may affect other
services you have requested we provide to you, in which email communication is a
requirement of the service provided. When you contact Availed Technologies service or
sale representatives by telephone, those calls may be monitored or recorded for quality
assurance purposes. If Availed Technologies wishes to use personal information you
have provided during the course of those calls for quality assurance purposes, Availed
Technologies will contact you to seek your consent.
3. How Availed Technologies Uses Personal
Information
Availed Technologies uses your personal information:
(a) to provide you with products and services that you have registered or purchased to
receive from Availed Technologies;
(b) to facilitate transactions and process your purchases for Availed Technologies
products;
(c) to process and respond to your specific suggestions, comments, inquiries and
requests (including your feedback to Availed Technologies about Availed Technologies’
products), and to otherwise administer Availed Technologies’ relationship with you;
(d) to create and manage your Availed Technologies account;
(e) if necessary, to facilitate the return of products for servicing or repairs; and
(f) for those purposes required or permitted by law.
Availed Technologies may combine your personal information collected through various
sources, including information collected through Availed Technologies’ website, and
develop a customer profile for you which will be used for the purposes above.
If you have provided your consent for Availed Technologies to use your personal
information for marketing and promotional purposes, we may also use your personal
information to:
(g) to administer and facilitate your participation in contests and promotions related to
Availed Technologies’ products;
(h) to develop, deliver, and improve Availed Technologies’ products and advertising;
(i) to send you information regarding Availed Technologies’ announcements, news, and
updates that may be of interest to you;
(j) to prevent unwanted messages or content;
(k) to prevent malicious activity and provide you with a secure experience.
Availed Technologies may use personal information to create non-personal information
which may then be used, disclosed, transferred and retained for other purposes such as
analyzing statistics, assessing our client usage of our networks and facilities, quality
assurance, and to help us plan our business activities.
4. How Availed Technologies Discloses Personal
Information
(a) Suppliers, Distributors and Service Providers:
Availed Technologies may disclose or transfer your personal information to its approved
suppliers, distributors, and service providers to assist Availed Technologies in the
provision of products and services to you, to provide products and services to Availed
Technologies, to perform work on behalf of Availed Technologies using your personal
information, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Availed Technologies requires its approved suppliers, distributors, and service providers
to agree to use your personal information only for the purposes for which the
information is provided to them, and to protect the privacy of your personal information
in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement. Regardless of the steps
taken by Availed Technologies to protect personal information in the custody of third
parties, personal information that is used, processed, or stored in a foreign country may
be accessible to law enforcement, courts, regulatory agencies and national security
authorities of that jurisdiction.
(b) Availed Technologies Business Transactions:
Availed Technologies may disclose your personal information in connection with a
proposed or actual business transaction in which Availed Technologies is involved
(such as a corporate reorganization, merger or acquisition, or the sale of some or all of
Availed Technologies’ business or assets), but Availed Technologies will require that
the information recipient agree to protect the privacy of your personal information in a
manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement and applicable law.
(c) Law Enforcement/Legal Disclosures:
Your personal information may be subject to collection by and disclosure to law
enforcement agencies in accordance with applicable law. Availed Technologies may
disclose your personal information as required or authorized by applicable law, including
to comply with a subpoena, warrant or court or arbitral order, or litigation disclosure
obligations. Availed Technologies may disclose your personal information to law
enforcement authorities or other organizations if Availed Technologies reasonably
believes the disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect and enforce Availed
Technologies’ legal rights, interests and remedies or to protect the business, operations
or customers of Availed Technologies or other persons. Availed Technologies has no
control over, or responsibility or liability for, the use, disclosure, retention and deletion of
your personal information by the agencies, organizations or other persons to whom
Availed Technologies discloses the information in the foregoing circumstances, and the
use, disclosure, retention and deletion of the disclosed information by those agencies,
organizations or other persons is not subject to this Privacy Statement.
5. Location & Processing of Personal Information
Availed Technologies may process, store and use your personal information at facilities
in various countries, including the United States of America. The personal information
protection laws of those other countries might be different from the laws of the
jurisdiction in which you reside, and might permit courts, government, law enforcement
agencies, regulatory agencies and security authorities to access your personal
information. By providing Availed Technologies with your personal information, you
consent to the transfer of your personal information to facilities located in other
countries and the processing and storage of your personal information at those facilities.
6. Retention and Protection of Personal Information
Availed Technologies retains your personal information for the period reasonably
necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement or a longer period
required or permitted by applicable law. Availed Technologies will delete or dispose of
your personal information when Availed Technologies is no longer reasonably required
to keep the information for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement.
Availed Technologies employs reasonable safeguards – including administrative,
physical and technical security and safeguarding measures and solutions – appropriate
to the sensitivity of the personal information in Availed Technologies’ possession or
under Availed Technologies’ control in order to protect the information from
unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, disposal or similar risks. To process
transactions from our website, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and
encryption.
Nevertheless, security risks cannot be eliminated and Availed Technologies cannot
guarantee that your personal information will not be used or disclosed in ways not
otherwise described in this Privacy Statement.
7. Accuracy and Access to Personal Information
Availed Technologies will rely on you to ensure that your personal information is as
accurate, complete and up to date as necessary for the purposes of the products and
services that Availed Technologies provides to you. You will promptly notify Availed
Technologies of any relevant changes to your personal information using the
procedures provided on Availed Technologies’ website or by contacting an Availed
Technologies representative.
You may request access to your personal information and information about Availed
Technologies’ collection, use, disclosure, retention and deletion of your personal
information by submitting a written request to Availed Technologies’ Privacy Officer
using the contact information above. Subject to applicable exceptions and limitations
prescribed by applicable law, you will be given reasonable access to your personal
information and you will be entitled to verify the accuracy and completeness of your
personal information and to have it amended as appropriate. You may be required to
pay a reasonable fee for access to your personal information.
8. Non-Personal Information
Availed Technologies creates or collects non-personal information (information that is
not about an identifiable individual), including personal information that has been
aggregated or otherwise anonymized so that it no longer relates to an identifiable
individual. Availed Technologies may use, disclose, transfer and retain non-personal
information for any purpose and in any manner whatsoever.
If non-personal information is combined with personal information, then the non-
personal information will be treated as personal information for the purposes of this
Privacy Statement.
9. Your State Rights
California
● Shine the Light law. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1798.83, we will
not disclose or share your personal information with third parties for the
purposes of third-party marketing to you without your prior consent.
● Do Not Track Signals. Other than as disclosed in this Policy, the website tracks
users over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising
through Google Remarketing. Therefore, the website may or may not operate
any differently when it receives Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals from your internet
web browser. For more information on Google Remarketing, please visit
https://ads.google.com/intl/en_uk/home/resources/retargeting-ads/.
● WE DO NOT SELL OR SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. If we ever
decide to “sell” or “share” Personal Information, as those terms are defined
under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, we will update you via this
Policy and include a link entitled “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal
Information,” to provide you with an opportunity to opt out of the selling or
sharing of your Personal Information.
Your Consumer Rights.
The European Union, as well as some states in the United States provide consumers
with additional rights with respect to their personal information (also known as “Personal
Data” or “Personal Information”), as those terms are defined under those applicable
state laws. Such state laws may include, but are not limited to, the California Consumer
Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, the
Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”) and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act
(“VCDPA”). Any personal information we collect is collected for the commercial purpose
of effectively providing our services to you, as well as enabling you to learn more about,
and benefit from, our services. If you reside in a state that provides additional rights with
respect to your personal information, you may exercise each of your rights as identified
below, subject to our verification of your identity.
A. Access. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you
about our collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information over the past
twelve (12) months. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period
preceding the receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the
reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
B. Correction. You can correct what personal data our website database currently
contains by accessing your account directly, or by contacting us to request that we
correct or rectify any personal data that you have provided to us.
C. Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. If we collect any
sensitive personal information, you have the right to request that we limit the use of the
sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services or
provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those
goods or services.
D. Portability. Upon request and when possible, we can provide you with copies of your
Personal Information. When such a request cannot be honored, we will advise you
accordingly. You can then choose to exercise any other rights under this Policy.
E. Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal
Information, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable
consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your
Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies. Where applicable,
we will ensure such changes are shared with trusted third parties.
F. Opt-out of Processing. You have the right to request that we do not sell your
Personal Information, use your Personal Information for Targeted Advertising, or use
your Personal Information for profiling. Where applicable, we will ensure such changes
are shared with trusted third parties.
G. Non-Discrimination. If a data subject exercises his or her rights under applicable
state law, including but not limited to the CCPA, CPA, and VCDPA, we shall not
discriminate against that data subject by denying our goods or services, charging
different prices or rates to similarly situated consumers, providing a different level or
quality of our goods or services, or taking any other adverse action.
H. Exercising your rights. If you are a data subject that has rights under applicable state
law, including but not limited to the CCPA, CPA, and VCDPA, who chooses to exercise
the rights listed above, you can:
Submit a request via email at [email protected]
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request
related to your Personal Information. If an authorized agent makes a request on your
behalf, we may require proof that you gave the agent permission to submit the request.
Responding to Your Request. Upon receiving your request, we will confirm receipt of
your request by sending you an email confirming receipt. To help protect your privacy
and maintain security, we may take steps to verify your identity before granting you
access to the Personal Information. In some instances, such as a request to delete
personal information, we may first separately confirm that you would like for us to in fact
delete your personal information before acting on your request.
We will respond to your request within thirty or forty-five days (whichever is longer under
applicable state law). If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and
extension period in writing.
In some cases our ability to uphold these rights for you may depend upon our
obligations to process Personal Information for security, safety, fraud prevention
reasons, compliance with regulatory or legal requirements, or because processing is
necessary to deliver the services you have requested. Where this is the case, we will
inform you of specific details in response to your request.
