5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share personal information only as described below:

  • Service providers — payment processors, shipping and logistics carriers, hosting and IT providers, email/communication providers, and analytics providers that perform services on our behalf. These providers are permitted to use your information only to provide services to Avetco.
  • Legal and safety — when required to comply with applicable law, subpoena, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Avetco, our customers, or others.
  • Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy.

We do not share your information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes without your consent.

6. Third-Party Service Providers

The Site relies on trusted third parties to operate. Depending on how you interact with us, these include PayPal (payment processing), shipping carriers (such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx), our website hosting provider, and Google Analytics (website usage analytics). Each of these providers maintains its own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep your shopping cart working, remember your preferences, keep you signed in, understand how the Site is used, and improve performance. Cookies fall into a few general categories:

  • Essential cookies — required for the Site, cart, checkout, and account login to function.
  • Functional cookies — remember your settings and preferences.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand site traffic and usage so we can improve.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the Site work (for example, the cart or checkout).

8. Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain your account, complete transactions, and comply with our legal, tax, accounting, and reporting obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

9. How We Protect Your Information

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information. Our Site uses encryption (SSL/TLS) to protect information transmitted during checkout. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Privacy Rights (California Residents — CCPA/CPRA)

California’s Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), applies only to businesses that meet certain revenue or data-volume thresholds. To the extent those laws apply to Avetco, California residents may have the following rights, subject to certain exceptions:

  • Right to know — to request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, and how we use and share it.
  • Right to delete — to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you.
  • Right to correct — to request that we correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Right to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” — Avetco does not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If this practice ever changes, we will update this Policy and provide the required opt-out.
  • Right to limit use of sensitive personal information — where applicable.
  • Right to non-discrimination — we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@avetcoinc.com or 818-890-6680. We will verify your request before responding, and we may need to confirm your identity. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.

11. Marketing Choices

If you receive promotional emails from us, you can opt out at any time by using the “unsubscribe” link in the message or by contacting us. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send you non-promotional messages about your orders and account.

The Site is intended for business and adult customers and is not directed to children. Consistent with our Terms and Conditions, you must be at least 18 years old to use the Site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 where applicable). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

13. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites (for example, social media or payment pages). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and this Policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

14. Geographic Scope

Avetco is based in the United States and operates the Site from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., you understand your information will be processed in the United States.
