Many customers have contacted us recently due to a report aired by CBS News regarding the ability of digital multifunction products to retain information on hard disk drives.  Apparently, this is a major concern for many customers.  Avant Garde has researched this issue extensively and would like to address this situation.

Many of the KonicaMinolta and Kyocera models come with encryption software already built-in, and the software needs only to be activated.  For those models that do not have software built-in, Avant Garde offers Data Encryption kits.  The pricing for the kits and for activation varies from model to model, so we ask that you contact us for pricing and an installation date.

For those of you who are concerned about security and would like additional information, we ask you to contact us via telephone at 201-712-1500; facsimile at 201-712-1963 or email. Information is also available directly from KonicaMinolta and Kyocera. We will be more than willing to discuss this issue in detail and structure a program to make you feel more comfortable.  If we do not hear from you, we will assume you are comfortable with your current security situation.
