How We May Share or Disclose Personal Information We Collect
Avenue Store may disclose PI to service providers, consultants, professional advisors and contractors who perform services on our behalf. At times, we may seek to validate the PI we have collected via an audit by a third party designed to determine the accuracy of and/or to update the information collected. We may also combine data that we collect online with data collected offline (such as through purchases made through one of our catalogs), or with data provided by other parties.

How We Protect Your Personal Information
To help protect the security of your PI, Avenue Store seeks to use security technology and procedures, which are reviewed periodically. We use encryption technology and Secure Socket Layers (“SSL”) in all areas of the Site where your personal and account information is required. This means that the PI you submit to us via our Site is encrypted by your computer, and then decrypted again on our side. If your browser does not support SSL or if you are unable to establish a secure connection due to a company firewall, please call us at (800) 000-0000 to place your order by phone.
In addition, your personal account information, and transaction history are kept behind a firewall. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the “Contacting Avenue Store ” section below.
