This Privacy Policy explains how YewCastle LLC (“YewCastle”, “we”, “us”) handles personal information when you visit yewcastle.com (the “Site”) or contact us. We collect as little as possible: the Site has no forms, accounts or analytics, and we do not sell personal information.
1. Information we collect
- Technical data. When you visit the Site, our hosting provider automatically processes data your browser sends, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages requested and the date and time of the request. This is needed to deliver the Site and protect it from abuse.
- Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your name, email address and anything you include in your message.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, and we ask that you do not send it to us.
3. How we use information
- to operate, secure and improve the Site;
- to reply to your messages and discuss potential services;
- to comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
4. Legal bases (where applicable)
Where laws such as the EU/UK GDPR or Brazil’s LGPD apply, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Site, on steps taken at your request before entering into a contract when you contact us about services, and on legal obligations where they apply.
6. International transfers
Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as the providers’ standard contractual clauses.
7. Retention
Technical data is kept by our providers according to their own retention policies. We keep emails for as long as needed to respond and to maintain our business relationship, and no longer than 5 years after our last contact, unless the law requires a longer period.
8. Security
The Site is served only over encrypted HTTPS connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Residents of Brazil also have the rights in Article 18 of the LGPD, including confirmation that processing takes place and information about sharing. To exercise any of these rights, email contact@yewcastle.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, such as Brazil’s ANPD.
10. Children
The Site is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
