This Privacy Policy explains the information we collect about you as part of your use of our website and apps (together the “Services”), how we use that information, and your rights in respect of such information.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Services. The Services may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by us (the “Third Party Sites”). The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to the Third Party Sites. The links from the Services do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed the Third Party Sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies.

We use the information you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future marketing communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below.

Aggregated Information: In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, we may conduct research on our customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the information collected. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and we may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

Cookies are pieces of data that sites and services can set on your browser or device that can be read on future visits.

The Company is based in the United States. No matter where you are located, you consent to the processing and transferring of your information in and to the U.S. and other countries. The laws of the U.S. and other countries governing data collection and use may not be as comprehensive or protective as the laws of the country where you live.
We keep your personal data only for the time necessary for us to provide the Services to you. We may be required to retain information for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or where obliged to do so by a regulatory authority.
You can contact us at any time to request that we delete your personal data. See Section 6 below to find out how to request that we delete your personal data.
We take reasonable steps to protect the information provided via the Services from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from the Services may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any information via the Internet.
We work to protect the security of your personal data during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. If transactions are processed on our Services, transaction information is transmitted in encrypted form using industry-standard SSL connections to help protect such information from interception. We restrict authorized access to your personal data to those persons who need to know that information to provide products or services to you.
We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. We will not sell, distribute, or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. If we become involved in a business sale, merger, acquisition, securities offering, bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or other similar transaction, we may share or transfer your personal data solely in connection with such transaction.
We believe that users should be treated equally no matter where they are, and so we are making the following options to control your data available to all users, regardless of their location.
You can update certain information by accessing your profile via “Settings.” You can also unsubscribe from certain emails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link they contain. You can opt out from certain cookie-related processing by following the instructions above in “Cookies.”
Individuals in some other jurisdictions outside the United States have certain legal rights to obtain confirmation of whether we hold personal data about them, to access personal data we hold about them (including, in some cases, in portable form), and to obtain its correction, update, amendment or deletion in appropriate circumstances. They may also object to our uses or disclosures of personal data, to request a restriction on its processing, or withdraw any consent, though such actions typically will not have retroactive effect. They also will not affect our ability to continue processing data in lawful ways.
In addition to the functionality available through the “Settings” of the Services, in which you can correct, update, amend, or delete certain personal data, you can also request other modifications from us directly. Please write us at support@yakkaapp.com with the words “Personal Data Request” in the subject or body of your message, along with an explanation of what data subject right you are seeking to exercise. For your protection, we may take steps to verify identity before responding to your request. If you would like to submit a data access request, you can do so by contacting us at support@yakkaapp.com.
You have a right to ask us to stop using or limit our use of your personal data in certain circumstances—for example, if we have no lawful basis to keep using your data, or if you think your personal data is inaccurate. You may also click the “unsubscribe” link in any of our marketing emails.
The rights and options described above are subject to limitations and exceptions under applicable law. In addition to those rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. However, we encourage you to contact us first, and we will do our very best to resolve your concern.
Our services are not intended for children under 18 years of age and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If you are under this age, you should not use the Services. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete that information, terminate that person's account, and restrict access to that person. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 18 and believe he or she has disclosed personal information to us please contact us at support@yakkaapp.com.
