Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 November 2026
Alvin Art Gallery respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it and what your rights are under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).
What we collect
- Your name, email address, phone number and billing and delivery address when you place an order or create an account.
- Details of the works you order, enquire about or save to your wishlist.
- The messages you send us through the contact form or by email.
- Basic technical data, such as your browser type and pages visited, needed to keep the website secure and working.
How we use it
We use your information to process and deliver orders, arrange payment, answer your enquiries, issue certificates of authenticity, keep your account running, and meet our legal and accounting obligations. We only send you news about exhibitions and new works if you have asked us to, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Who we share it with
We share only what is needed with the people who help us serve you: couriers who deliver your work, the bank or payment provider that handles your payment, and the hosting and email services that run this website. We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies
The website uses only the cookies it needs to work, such as keeping items in your cart, keeping you signed in and protecting checkout. If we add analytics or marketing tools in future, we will update this page and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep order records for as long as we need them for warranty, tax and accounting purposes, and other information only for as long as it is useful for the reason it was collected. We then delete it or make it anonymous.
Your rights
You have the right to be informed about how your data is used, to access and correct it, to ask us to delete or block it, to object to certain uses, to receive a copy in a common format, and to claim compensation for damage caused by misuse of your data. You also have the right to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission at privacy.gov.ph.
Keeping your data safe
We take reasonable organisational and technical steps to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access. If a breach ever puts your rights at risk, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission as the law requires.
