5.5 Why is your PI collected and used?
Generally, the reasons we use your PI are to:
- provide the products or services you requested;
- process and track any orders you requested;
- send you information and updates (if you have opted-in and consented for this) that we think will be of interest to you;

Where we propose to use your PI for any other uses, we will ensure that we notify you first (and if required, obtain your consent).
Instructions for unsubscribing from any newsletters, promotions, or non-transactional related emails are included in every email.
5.6 How is Your PI protected?
Our objective is to protect you against the loss, misuse, or alteration of PI that we have collected from you. To that end, we:
- use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your PI from unauthorized access, use or disclosure;
- secure the PI you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. All PI is protected using appropriate and reasonable physical, technical, organizational and security measures;
- limit access to your PI to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality;
- ensure that when you make a purchase, request product information, or create an account on our website, your transactional information is transmitted in a safe, encrypted format; and
- encourage our business partners and service providers to adopt and follow stringent consumer privacy policies.
However, it is important to understand that no website, mobile application, e-commerce solution, database or system is completely secure or fool proof. If our system is hacked and your information is vulnerable, we will notify you within 72 hours.
By using the site or otherwise providing PI to us, you agree:
- that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the site;
- you are responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your PI against unauthorized disclosure or misuse, including by installing anti-virus software, closing browsers after use, keeping confidential your passwords, and making sure that you regularly update software and apps on your system; and
- hold us harmless for any breach of security and any unauthorized use of your PI by third parties.
5.7 How can you manage how your PI is used?
We offer choices about the types of information you receive from us. If you prefer not to receive product information or other communications from us or if you prefer to receive them less frequently, please contact us.
Please be sure to provide us with your exact name, email address or phone number used to engage with us so that we can identify you correctly. It may take several weeks for your request to become effective. If, due to human error, you continue to receive unwanted communications, please contact us again and we will make every effort to correct the situation.
5.8 How long do we keep your PI?
How long we keep information we collect about you depends on the type of information and how we collect and store it. After a reasonable period of time, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible, then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible. We will delete your PI at an earlier date if you so request, as described in section 5.9 below.
We retain your PI when we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, as needed to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements).

- You can request access, correction, updates or deletion of your PI;
- You can object to our processing of your PI or ask us to restrict processing of your PI;

10.8 European Economic Area & United Kingdom Residents (GDPR Regulation)
1. Legal Basis for processing PI for European Economic Area (“EEA”) and United Kingston (“UK”) Residents
We do not anticipate offering or providing goods or services to individuals living in the EEA or UK as outlined in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). However, if you are located in the EEA or UK and choose to access, visit or use our website; or opt to conduct business or collaborations with us; or choose to subscribe to or receive any of our information or free products or services, then we may collect PI from you. In this case, Yes2Yolo is the data controller of your PI for the purposes of the GDPR; except where you provide your PI directly to a third party which you access from our site.
Our legal basis for collecting and using your PI will depend on the PI concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect PI from you only where:
i. we have your consent to do so;
ii. we need your PI to perform a contract with you;
iii. we need to comply with a public task such as reporting a criminal or suspicious activity related to money laundering, or otherwise;
iv. we have legal obligations to fulfil; or
v. the processing is in our or your legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights laid out below.
If we ask you to provide PI to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your PI is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your PI). Similarly, if we collect and use your PI in reliance on our or your legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
2. Our GDPR Data Retention Period
PI that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes. Therefore, after a reasonable period of time, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible, then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible. If certain reasonable events or circumstances call for deletion of your PI, we will do so (for example if Yes2Yolo is no longer in operation, shuts down its site or ceases to offer its products or services).
We will delete your PI at an earlier date if you so request, as described in the above section 5.9 How can you review, correct and remove your PI?
We retain your PI when we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, as needed to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements).
We may also collect your information if you contact us for support or service. Support and service calls are recorded and kept on file by the call service vendor. At present time, there are no time limit on keeping the recordings stored. If you have an inquiry regarding our vendor’s call records, please contact us here.
3. Your GDPR Rights
Please be aware of your principal rights under the GDPR:
i. Right to information and access:
You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your PI and, where we do, access to the PI, together with certain additional information such as details of the purposes of the processing.
ii. Right to rectification and Right to Object:
You have the right to have any inaccuracies to your PI corrected and the right to object to how your information is profiled. When you contact us, please provide us details on inaccuracies or profiling you object to.
iii. Right to erasure:
In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your PI without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the PI is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the PI has been unlawfully processed.
However, there are certain general exclusions of the right to erasure. Those general exclusions include where processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or where we turn your PI into anonymous data so that you cannot be identified from it for the purposes of statistical analysis, traffic/website usage analysis and other administrative purposes. If we do so, we will not delete your anonymized information.
iv. Right to restrict processing:
You have the right to restrict how we process your information. When we ask for your consent, we provide you with options on how we may process your information. Additionally, when contacting us, please provide details on how you would like us to restrict our processing of your information.
v. Right to data portability:
You have the right to have us transfer your information to another data processor. When contacting us, please provide details on who we are to transfer to and their contact information.
vi. Right not to be subject to automated decision-making:
In some circumstances, you have the right not to be made subject to a decision based exclusively on automated data processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you in a similar way.
vii. Right to complain to a supervisory authority:
If you consider that our processing of your PI infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection.
viii. Right to withdraw consent at any time:
To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your PI is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
If you decide to exercise your rights (such as your right to erasure or right to withdraw consent), please note we will no longer be able to provide you with requested information, products or services.
