Protecting Your Personal Information
At YIC Strategies, we recognise the importance of protecting your personal information and are committed to processing it responsibly, securely, and transparently.
We have implemented appropriate technical, organisational, and administrative measures to safeguard your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse. These measures include secure systems, restricted access controls, encryption where appropriate, and ongoing monitoring of our security practices.
While we take every reasonable precaution to protect the information you provide to us, no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As such, any information you submit is provided at your own risk. However, YIC Strategies continually reviews and enhances its security procedures to minimise potential risks and maintain the highest possible standards of data protection.
Your Rights
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have several important rights regarding your personal information.
Right of Access
You have the right to request confirmation of whether YIC Strategies holds or processes your personal information.
Where we do process your data, you may request:
- A copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Details of how your information is processed.
- The purposes for which your information is used.
- The categories of data being processed.
- Information about any third parties with whom your information has been shared, where applicable.
Where appropriate, we can provide this information electronically.
Right to Rectification
If you believe that any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or no longer up to date, you have the right to request that we correct or update it.
We aim to ensure that all personal information we hold is accurate and current.
Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that your personal information be deleted.
We will assess every request in accordance with applicable legislation and, where legally appropriate, will securely erase your personal information without unnecessary delay.
Please note that we may be required to retain certain information where legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations apply.
Right to Restrict Processing
You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal information in certain situations, such as where you contest its accuracy or object to its use.
During any period of restriction, we will securely store your information and only process it where legally permitted.
Right to Data Portability
Where applicable, you have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and request that it be transferred to another organisation where technically feasible.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis or where your information is used for direct marketing purposes.
Exercising Your Rights
If you wish to exercise any of your rights, or if you have any questions about how your personal information is handled, please contact us at:
Email: contact@yicstrategies.co.uk
We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
Withdrawing Your Consent
Where we rely on your consent to process personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.
Marketing Communications
YIC Strategies will only send you marketing communications where you have provided your clear consent or where we are otherwise permitted to do so under applicable law.
When collecting your information, we will always provide you with the opportunity to choose whether you wish to receive marketing communications.
If you decide you no longer wish to hear from us, you can unsubscribe at any time by:
- Clicking the “Unsubscribe” link included in our marketing emails.

Data Protection Complaints
If you believe that we have not handled your personal information appropriately, we encourage you to contact us first so that we can investigate and resolve your concerns.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s independent authority responsible for data protection.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Data Protection Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legislation, regulatory guidance, technology, or our business practices.
