GDPR Compliant Policy

This policy clarifies the information we collect and process when you use Aventis web applications, mobile applications, products and services, including content. This policy highlights the information we access, store, use, delete, and transfer. It is our aim to ensure that we earn your trust completely by complying with the privacy policy stipulated in the General Data Privacy Regulations (GDPR).

Aventis is using the information we collect from your interactions with the network to provide you with the best possible experience and maximum benefit. The information we collect includes information such as your personal details and email address, pages you access on our website and mobile apps, your interactions with the features of our products and services, your internet protocol (IP) address, page visits and duration, devices you use, geographic location, browser type, browser version, navigation path and referral information. Such information is used to deliver the best user experience to you, and our tracking is to make our products and services work efficiently and effectively.

Thus, we use this information to provide, improve, promote, and personalize our products and services; to fight spam and other forms of abuse; to create a collection of non-identifying information; and to provide feedback about how you use our products and services.

We use security providers and encryption such as HTTPS and TLS to protect and secure the data we transmit to, from, and across our website. Although we strive to be secure, we cannot guarantee security because no data transmitted over the internet is 100% secure. So, using Aventis is at your own risk, and you should take reasonable and responsible measures to secure your account.

The legal basis of the information we process is based primarily on your consent, data protection standards, and the requirements of the law and court order. If your information will be shared in response to a court order or legal process, we will give you adequate notice so that you can challenge the legal process or court order, unless the law prohibits it or states otherwise.

To use our products and services, including our web and mobile applications, you have to create an account. If you have an account on Aventis, you can login, access, modify, or export your personal information, or delete your account. We strive to protect your personal information from accidental or malicious destruction, so we keep residual copies of your personal information for a momentary period of time. The only exception to this is when you delete your student or participant account. Information deleted is unrecoverable after deletion unless the law stipulates otherwise.

Our cloud hosting servers cross international borders and boundaries. By using Aventis, you permit us to use, access, store, and transfer your information from our country to any country where we may operate. But, we will abide by the standard data protection clauses adopted and approved by the European Union, including when your data is disclosed to our processors and third-party agents.

Aventis may intermittently update its privacy policy. We will inform you immediately if there is an alteration, change, update, or amendment to our privacy policy. To access the last update, simply click on the policy found at our website footer.
