Collection of Personal Information

On our site, you can order products and materials, make payments on your account, and sign up to lead or travel on a tour or immersion program. We might ask you for personal information, which includes your name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, emergency contact information and financial data such as credit/debit card and/or checking account numbers. This information may be collected by Ave Academy both within and outside the USA, primarily to complete your transactions and to provide efficient, customized and meaningful experiences online. If you request our catalog or updates about our products and services, then we may also use that information to inform you of new offers, products, and services which may be of interest to you. We maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information that we obtain from our users. We do not sell, rent, trade, license or otherwise disclose your specific personal information or financial information to any third parties, except when necessary to complete your order or provide services to you.

Collection of Browsing Information

We collect information about IP addresses, types of Web browsers and devices, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), referring and exit pages, operating systems, date/time stamps, search terms, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movement, and gather demographic information. We use this information for marketing purposes to better track what products and services our customers prefer, so that we can tailor your user experience to those preferences.

Use of "Cookies"

"Cookies" are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use both session and persistent cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard, used to provide useful features for customers. Cookies by themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user's computer. We may append contact information gathered from third parties to cookie data that we collect. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. If you do so, however, you may not be able to take full advantage of our website. For example, the complete online reservation process can only be accessed if you accept cookies.

The Way We Protect Your Information

We do not share the information we collect from you when completing an order with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete your reservation. When necessary, we may share that information with our corporate affiliates, claims handlers and business partners both within and outside the USA.

We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of our users' financial information from their computers to our servers by using encryption technology. We use secure online forms and store all information in protected operating environments inaccessible to the public. We may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information.

Our Commitment to Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of children is especially important. For that reason, we comply in all respects with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and do not knowingly solicit, request or collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. We require parental consent from users under 18 who wish to make a reservation. A child's personal information will be used to complete a reservation but it will not be used in circumstances outside of what is required to operate the business or site.
