For privacy questions relating to this website or personal data handled through it, the contact email is jonathan@yieldindustries.co.uk.

What personal data may be collected

Depending on how the website is used, YIELD Industries may collect the following categories of personal data:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Company or studio name, where provided
  • Project or enquiry information submitted through contact or booking forms
  • Correspondence sent by email or through the website
  • Technical website data required for site delivery, security, and basic hosting operations

Sensitive personal data should not be submitted through the website unless specifically requested and clearly necessary.

How personal data may be used

Personal data collected through the website may be used to:

  • Respond to enquiries
  • Review whether a project is within scope
  • Arrange appointments or follow-up discussions
  • Prepare proposals, scopes, or referrals where appropriate
  • Maintain business correspondence and records
  • Operate, secure, and improve the website

Personal data submitted through the website is not used for unrelated purposes without a proper lawful basis.

Lawful bases for processing

Depending on the context, YIELD Industries may rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under UK data protection law:

  • Legitimate interests where it is necessary to manage enquiries, assess fit, operate the website, or run the business in a proportionate way
  • Contract where processing is necessary to take steps requested before entering into a contract or to perform a contract
  • Consent where consent is specifically requested for a particular use
  • Legal obligation where records must be kept or information disclosed to comply with the law

Sharing personal data and service providers

Personal data may be processed by service providers used to operate the website and communications. This may include website hosting, form handling, email delivery, and related technical infrastructure.

At the time of writing, the site may use third-party providers such as website hosting and form-processing services. Where those providers process data on behalf of YIELD Industries, they are used only as reasonably necessary to run the site and handle enquiries.

Personal data is not sold. It is not shared for third-party marketing. It may be disclosed where required by law, to protect legal rights, or where necessary to progress a project with the individual’s knowledge.

How long information is kept

Personal data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to manage enquiries, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes if needed.

Where no ongoing project or business relationship follows from an enquiry, submitted information is typically kept only for a limited period, unless there is a legitimate reason to retain it longer.

Cookies and similar technologies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for site delivery, security, or embedded functionality.

If additional cookies or tracking technologies are added later, including analytics, marketing, advertising, or embedded booking systems, this policy and any related cookie controls should be updated accordingly.

Where cookies are not strictly necessary, appropriate consent should be obtained before they are used.

Security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect information handled through the website. However, no website, platform, or email system can guarantee absolute security, and information should not be submitted in a way that assumes zero risk.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, individuals may have rights in relation to their personal data, including the right to:

  • Request access to personal data
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request erasure in certain circumstances
  • Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
  • Object to certain processing based on legitimate interests
  • Request data portability where applicable

Individuals in the UK also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
