1. Who we are

Avantcert ("we", "us", "our") is an ISO and compliance certification consultancy. This Privacy Policy applies to avantcert.com and the services offered through it. For any privacy question, contact us at info@avantcert.com.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us — when you submit a contact or quote form, request an estimate, or message us (including via WhatsApp), we collect details such as your name, email address, phone number, company, and the contents of your enquiry.

Information collected automatically — like most websites, we collect usage data such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and referring source through cookies and analytics tools.

3. How we use your information

We use the information to respond to your enquiries and provide quotes; to deliver and improve our consulting services; to operate, maintain, and improve the website; to send service communications you have requested; and to comply with legal obligations. We process this data on the basis of your consent, our legitimate business interests, or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

4. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to run the site and understand how it is used. We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and improve content; Google may set cookies and process usage data in line with its own policies. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with trusted service providers who help us operate the website and deliver services (for example, analytics and hosting providers), with accredited certification bodies or auditors where necessary to deliver a service you have requested, and where required by law or to protect our rights. Providers are only permitted to use your data to perform services for us.

6. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, update, or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to data portability. If you are in the EEA/UK these rights arise under the GDPR; if you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them. To make a request, email info@avantcert.com and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.

8. International transfers

We operate globally and may process your data in countries other than your own, including India. Where we transfer data across borders, we take steps to ensure it is treated securely and in line with this policy and applicable law.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's privacy

Our website and services are intended for businesses and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the latest revision, and material changes will be posted on this page.
