We may collect information about you only if we need the information for some legitimate purpose. YapCRM will have information about you only if (a) you have provided the information yourself, (b) YapCRM has automatically collected the information, or (c) YapCRM has obtained the information from a third party.
Legal bases for collecting and using information
Legal processing bases applicable to YapCRM: Our legal basis for information collection and use depends on the personal information concerned and the context in which we collect it. Most of our information collection and processing activities are typically based on (i) contractual necessity, (ii) one or more legitimate interests of YapCRM that are not overridden by your data protection interests, or (iii) your consent. Sometimes, we may be legally required to collect your information, or may need your personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
Withdrawal of consent: Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place.
Your choice in information use
Opt out of non-essential electronic communications: You may opt out of receiving newsletters and other non-essential messages by using the ‘manage communication preferences’ function included in all such messages. However, you will continue to receive notices and essential transactional emails.
Disable cookies: You can disable browser cookies before visiting our websites, however to use our CRM services and some other services, cookies are required.
Who we share your information with
We do not sell any personal information. We share your information only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy.
Employees: Employees have access to the information covered in Part I on a need-to-know basis. We require all employees to follow this Privacy Policy for personal information that we share with them.
Third-party service providers: We may need to share your selected personal information and aggregated or de-identified information with third-party service providers that we engage, such as telecommunication companies, cloud data and web analytics providers. These service providers are authorised to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

Right to erasure: You have the right to request that we delete your personal information in certain circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected.
Right to restriction of processing: You may also have the right to request to restrict the use of your information in certain circumstances, such as when you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Right to data portability: You have the right to transfer your information to a third party in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, in circumstances where the information is processed with your consent or by automated means.
