Cookies
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website, mobile app or use an online platform. Cookies are widely used by on-line service providers to facilitate and help to make the interaction between users and websites, mobile apps and on-line platforms faster and easier, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by this Website are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than this Website are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website and/or mobile app and/or platform (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer or device both when it visits the website and/or mobile app and/or platform in question and also when it visits certain other websites and/or mobile apps and/or platforms.
Some cookies ("session cookies") are stored temporarily and are deleted as soon as you close your browser or when the session ends. Other temporary cookies are stored longer, such as when you add products to the shopping cart or click "understood & agreed" in our cookie notice. Some cookies, such as for analytics, are persistent and stored indefinitely, unless you clear them in your browser.
Why we use cookies
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, for example, for the shopping cart to work, or while you are logged in to your account. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our visitors and customers to enhance the experience and Offerings on our Website. Third-parties serve cookies through our Website for analytics and other purposes.

Payment information
Credit card information
When you make a purchase on the Offerings with payment via credit card, the credit card information you provide as part of your Payment Information is collected and processed directly by our payment processor PayPal through their payment gateway. We never receive or store your full credit card information. PayPal commits to complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and using industry standard security. PayPal may use your Payment Information in accordance with their own Privacy Policy here: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
Bank account information
When you make a purchase on the Offerings with payment via bank transfer or PayNow, the bank account information you provide as part of your Payment Information is collected and processed by our bank DBS Bank Ltd. We do not store your full bank account information, unless required for refunds.
Other access to, or disclosure of, your information
The Offerings may also contain links to third party websites. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us. Even if the third party is affiliated with us through a business partnership or otherwise, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third party. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of such third parties to determine how they handle any information they separately collect from you. Please be aware that we do not warn you when you choose to click through to another website when using the Offerings.
Your rights and choices
Opt-outs
We may provide you with the opportunity to opt out of having your personal information used for certain purposes when we ask for this information. If you decide to opt out, we may not be able to provide our Offerings or certain features of the Offerings to you.
Communication preferences
If you no longer wish to receive our news or promotional emails, you may opt out of receiving them by following the instructions included on such communications or on the Offerings. Please note, however, that you may be unable to opt out of certain service-related communications.
Blocking cookies
You can remove or block certain cookies using the settings in your browser, but the Offerings may cease to function properly if you do so. For more information, please see the section "Cookies" here above.
How we respond to "do not track" signals
Your web browser may have a "do not track" setting which, when enabled, causes your browser to send a "do not track" HTTP header file or "signal" to each site you visit. At present, our Offerings do not respond to this type of signal.
Data subject rights
You can access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to our processing of your personal information at any time by emailing our Data Protection Officer via the Contact page, directly at cs@avlfx.com, or by mail to the address here below. If you are unsatisfied with the response you have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.
Accessing and updating your personal information
When you use the Offerings, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information through the Account page, where you may access, review or, if it is inaccurate, correct, update or change your information at any time. If you are unable to use the Website, log in to your account, or to delete such information if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes, please send us your request via the Contact page, by emailing us at cs@avlfx.com, or by mail to the address here below, with your name and the information requested to be changed or removed. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort (for instance, requests concerning information residing in backups), jeopardize the privacy of others, would be extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.
To protect the confidentiality of your information, we will ask you to verify your identity before proceeding with any request you make under this Privacy Policy. If you have authorised a third party to submit a request on your behalf, we will ask them to prove they have your permission to act.
Please note that if you cease using the Service or we terminate your access to the Service in accordance with our Terms & Conditions, you may no longer have the ability to access or update your information on the Website.
We may retain your information as necessary for our business and legitimate interests, comply with our legal obligations or resolve disputes. Note that your information may remain in our systems even if you cease using the Offerings or we terminate your access to the Offerings.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time. If we make changes, we will post them and will indicate on this page the policy's new version number and date. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by email or through notice on the Offerings.
No children under the age of 16
AVLFX does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you are under 16, you may not attempt to register for the Offerings or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, phone number, or email address. In the event that we confirm that we have collected personal information from someone under the age of 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information promptly. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child under 16 and believe that we might have any information from or about such child, please contact us via the Contact page, by emailing us at cs@avlfx.com, or by mail to the address here below.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain a variety of appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect your personal information. We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you, or in order to do their jobs. Further, we have implemented reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect personal information about you. When you enter sensitive information (such as your password), we encrypt that information in transit using industry-standard TLS/SSL encryption technology. No method of transmission over the Internet, method of electronic storage or other security methods are one hundred percent secure. Therefore, while we strive to use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Data breaches
We will report any unlawful data breach of this Website’s database or the database(s) of any of our third party data processors to you and all relevant persons and authorities within 72 hours of the breach if it is apparent that your personal data stored in an identifiable manner has been stolen.
