Security

When you place orders or access your account information, Avant-Guide will take all reasonable steps to ensure the confidentiality of such information, including the use of a secure server. All personal and transaction related information will be transmitted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. SSL encrypts your order information to avoid the decoding of your information by anyone other than Avant-Guide and our authorized agents. Furthermore, all of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized access.

Please also note that when you make a purchase, we will send you emails to confirm your order and may also need to contact you via phone, postal mail or email if we have other questions regarding your order.

Children
No part of our web site directly solicits or is structured to attract anyone under the age of 13. In keeping with the Children Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, Avant-Guide will never knowingly request personal identifying information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent. We suggest that parents become involved with their child's access to the Internet and to our site to ensure that his or her privacy is well protected.
 
If we become aware that a subscriber is under the age of 13 and has registered without prior verifiable parental consent, we will remove his or her person identifying information from our files. Please note: we may maintain a record of that person's name and address in a "do not register" file to avoid subsequent registration by a child under the age of 13.
 
Avant-Guide Online may host online games, puzzles, contests and challenges, but none of these are designed for children under 13 and those under this age are forbidden to play without the consent of an adult.
