4. Cookies and analytics
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.
- Strictly necessary cookies are needed for the Website to function and do not require your consent.
- Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website. We use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit), provided by Google LLC. These cookies are only set with your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time through our cookie banner.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although parts of the Website may not work as intended. Learn more at allaboutcookies.org or see how Google uses data.
5. Sharing your information
We share personal data only where necessary, with:
- Service providers who support our business, such as website hosting and maintenance, IT and email providers, and analytics providers, acting on our instructions.
- Our communications agency, Newgate Communications, where you make a media enquiry.
- Professional advisers, including lawyers, accountants, auditors and insurers.
- Investment and development partners, where relevant to an enquiry or project you are involved in.
- Regulators, law enforcement or other authorities, where required by law.
- A buyer or successor, in the event of a sale, merger or restructuring of our business.
All third parties are required to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
6. International transfers
Some of our service providers, including Google, may process personal data outside the UK. Where this happens, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as a UK adequacy decision (including the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework) or the ICO’s International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum.
7. How long we keep your information
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected for:
- General enquiries: up to 2 years after our last contact, unless an ongoing relationship develops.
- Business, investor and supplier records: for the duration of the relationship and up to 7 years afterwards, to meet legal, tax and accounting requirements.
- Unsuccessful job applications: up to 6 months after the recruitment decision, unless you agree to us keeping them longer.
- Analytics data: in line with the retention period set in Google Analytics (currently 14 months).
After these periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
8. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls and working only with reputable service providers. No transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of data sent to us online.
9. Your rights
Under data protection law you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure of your data in certain circumstances.
- Restrict how we process your data.
- Object to processing based on our legitimate interests, and to direct marketing at any time.
- Data portability, where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
- Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, email info@yardnine.com. We will respond within one month and there is usually no charge.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
