ALVA VERIFIED®

ALVA's database has been a practical resource for consumers seeking to avoid exposures to chemicals of concern in personal care products.

ALVA's research team has worked hard to develop rigorous standards to be followed by all products bearing the ALVA VERIFIED® mark, including avoiding chemicals of ALVA concern, disclosure of ingredients seldom listed on product labels, and adherence to good manufacturing practices. For the sake of clarity, you may not use the ALVA VERIFIED® mark without first going through the assessment process and obtaining the requisite approval.

Where technically feasible, remove your data from future AI Training
Notify you of the outcome of your objection

Please note that objecting to AI Training may not affect AI Systems that have already been trained using your data, as it may not be technically feasible to remove the influence of your data from existing models.

You maintain all other rights as outlined in the Privacy Policy, including the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and data portability.

6. Cross-Border Transfers

Binding corporate rules
Adequacy decisions by the European Commission
Other legally approved transfer mechanisms
