We may use trusted service providers to support website hosting, email communications, information technology, booking administration, payment processing, analytics, and other business operations.

Where these providers process personal information on our behalf, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that suitable contractual and data protection safeguards are in place.

Business and Booking Partners

For certain corporate, event, or concierge arrangements, we may share relevant information with authorised partners where necessary to provide the requested service.

We will seek appropriate authorisation or establish another lawful basis before sharing information where required.

Legal and Regulatory Authorities

We will not disclose your information to unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes without an appropriate lawful basis.

International Transfers of Personal Information

Some website hosting, cloud storage, email, analytics, or other service providers may process information outside Kenya.

Where personal information is transferred outside Kenya, Avant Xclusive will take the steps required by applicable Kenyan data protection law, including ensuring that an appropriate legal basis and required safeguards are in place.

Depending on the circumstances, these safeguards may include adequate protection arrangements, contractual protections, or valid consent where legally applicable.

You may contact us for further information about relevant international transfers and safeguards, subject to lawful confidentiality restrictions.

Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functions.

Data Retention

Avant Xclusive retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including service delivery, customer support, accounting, legal compliance, and the establishment or defence of legal claims.

Retention periods may vary depending on the category of information and the applicable legal requirements.

For example:

How We Protect Your Information

Avant Xclusive takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Depending on the systems used, these measures may include access restrictions, secure account management, appropriate hosting safeguards, staff confidentiality measures, and regular website maintenance.

Access to personal information is limited to individuals and service providers who reasonably need it for authorised purposes.

However, no website, electronic communication, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore encourage customers to exercise appropriate care when sharing information online.

Subject to applicable Kenyan law and any relevant limitations, you may have the right to:

  • Be informed: Receive information about how your personal data is collected and used.

  • Access: Request access to personal information we hold about you.

Direct Marketing and Communication Preferences

We may contact you about an existing booking, service enquiry, payment, or operational matter where reasonably necessary.

Promotional messages will be sent only where a lawful basis exists and any required consent has been obtained.

You may opt out of promotional emails by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided, where available, or by contacting us.

Opting out of marketing will not prevent us from sending essential service communications relating to an existing booking or other legitimate business matter.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services.

These third parties may operate under their own privacy policies and terms of use. Avant Xclusive does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policies before submitting personal information to those services.

The presence of a third-party link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of that provider.

Children’s Personal Information

Avant Xclusive’s services are primarily intended to be arranged by adults, businesses, and authorised representatives.

Where transportation is arranged for a child, a parent, guardian, or other appropriately authorised adult should provide the information reasonably required to arrange the journey.

We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information for unrelated purposes or use it for direct marketing without an appropriate lawful basis.

Where we identify that personal information has been collected unlawfully, we will take appropriate steps to address the matter in accordance with applicable law.

Personal Data Breaches

If a personal data breach occurs, Avant Xclusive will assess the incident and take reasonable steps to contain it, investigate its impact, and prevent further unauthorised access or disclosure.

Where notification is required, we will notify the relevant authorities and affected individuals in accordance with applicable Kenyan data protection law.
