– technical data related to platform use

– payment and billing data processed via Stripe — Avantgarde does not store full card details; these are held securely by Stripe in accordance with PCI-DSS standards

3. Purpose of Processing

Personal data is processed exclusively for:

– enabling access between users and organisations

– processing and managing subscription payments and billing via Stripe

– generating anonymised community benchmarks (Fair Pay Check)

4. Visibility & Data Access

Public profile data is visible on the Avantgarde platform and website. Extended profile data (EPK, contact details) is visible only to the respective user and authorised platform users (e.g. Partner or Institution accounts with the relevant tier access). Avantgarde does not sell personal data.

5. Legal Basis

Data processing is based on user consent and contractual necessity for paid memberships and subscription billing.

6. Data Retention

Personal data is retained only as long as necessary for platform operation or until deletion is requested, unless legal obligations require otherwise. Billing records may be retained for up to 10 years in accordance with Luxembourg accounting and tax law. Anonymised Fair Pay Check data may be retained indefinitely in aggregated form as it contains no personal identifiers.

7. User Rights

Users have the right to access their personal data, rectify inaccurate data, request deletion, restrict processing, and withdraw consent at any time. Requests can be sent to hello@avantgarde-eu.com.

8. Third-Party Processors

Avantgarde uses the following categories of third-party service providers in compliance with GDPR:

– Hosting and infrastructure providers

– Email service providers

– Stripe — payment processing. Stripe acts as an independent data controller for payment data in accordance with its own privacy policy and PCI-DSS standards. Where third-party AI tools are used operationally, Avantgarde ensures via data processing agreements that such providers do not use member data for AI model training or development. No data is transferred for commercial exploitation.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the platform evolves. The current version is always available via the Avantgarde website and platform. Members will be notified of material changes via the platform.
