Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 August 2026
1. Who We Are
YDN Technologies Ltd ("YDN Technologies," "we," "us," "our"), Registration No. 01010870, a Company Limited by Shares incorporated on 14 November 2025 under RAK Digital Assets Oasis (RAK DAO), Government of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.
Website: ydntech.com
Data protection contact: enquiries@ydntech.com
This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and what rights you have — whether you're browsing our site, submitting an enquiry, joining the YDN Tech Guild, or engaging us as a client.
2. Scope
This policy covers:
- Visitors to ydntech.com
- People who submit forms, book calls, or join our community (events, newsletter)
- Individuals whose data we process as part of delivering services to our clients (in that case, our client is the "data controller" and we act as "processor" under a separate data processing agreement — see Section 5)
3. What We Collect
| Source | Data |
|---|---|
| Contact/enquiry forms | Name, email, company, message content |
| Call bookings | Name, email, meeting time, notes |
| Newsletter / community signup | Name, email |
| Website analytics (if enabled) | IP address, browser/device type, pages visited, referral source, cookies |
| Client engagement | Business contact details, CRM records, and other data processed on a client's behalf under our service agreements |
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data (health, financial account details, etc.) through the website.
4. Why We Process It
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Responding to enquiries, scheduling calls | Contract / pre-contractual steps |
| Delivering services under a signed proposal or SOW | Contract |
| Sending newsletters or community updates | Consent |
| B2B outreach to relevant business contacts | Legitimate interest |
| Improving the website and our services | Legitimate interest |
Under UAE PDPL (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021), the equivalent bases apply: consent, contractual necessity, and legitimate interest, each assessed against the individual's rights and reasonable expectations.
5. Who We Share Data With
We use trusted third-party providers to run our business, each acting as a data processor and only accessing what's necessary for its function:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers for our website
- Productivity and communication tools for email, calendar, and file storage
- CRM software to manage client and prospect relationships
- Workflow automation platforms, which may route data through connected tools — including AI models — as configured per workflow
- Scheduling software for meeting bookings
- Email delivery services for transactional communications
- AI language model providers, where our automations use AI to process or generate content (e.g., drafting outreach, summarising data). We do not use client data to train third-party AI models.
A full list of named sub-processors is available on request — contact us at enquiries@ydntech.com.
We do not sell personal data.
6. International Data Transfers
As a UAE-based entity, we may transfer data to sub-processors located in the EU, UK, and US (listed above). Where this involves personal data of individuals in the EU/UK, we rely on those providers' adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses, or equivalent safeguards under GDPR Article 46.
7. Data Retention
- Newsletter/community data: retained until you unsubscribe
- Client data processed under a service agreement: retained per the terms of that agreement, and deleted or returned on termination
- Website analytics: per the retention settings of the analytics tool in use
8. Your Rights
If you are in the EU/UK (GDPR): You have the right to access, correct, erase, or port your data, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent at any time, and lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
If you are in the UAE (PDPL): You have equivalent rights to access, correction, erasure, and objection, and may lodge a complaint with the UAE Data Office.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at enquiries@ydntech.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
9. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Analytics (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — for example pages viewed, referral source, and general device and approximate location information. Google Analytics sets cookies (such as "_ga") on your device for this purpose. We review this data in aggregate to improve the site.
- Your preferences: We store your selected pricing currency in your browser's local storage so the site can remember it on return visits. This stays on your device and is not shared with us.
We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking, and we do not sell any data collected through them.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser opt-out add-on.
10. Security
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures (access controls, encrypted connections, limited data-sharing) to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.
11. Children
Our website and services are directed at businesses and professionals. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under 18.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our tools or practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision.
