Overview. Young Innovators Franchising Company LLC (“YIA,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through compliance with this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use your Personal Information when you visit our website or otherwise use the Platform as described further in the terms of service , and that you may provide in electronic messages to Young Innovators Academy.
Please read this Privacy Policy to understand our policies and practices regarding your Personal Information and how we will handle it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use the Platform. By accessing or using the Platform, you agree and consent to this Privacy Policy.
Young Innovators Franchising LLC may change this Privacy Policy at any time, at its discretion. Your continued use of the Platform after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of and consent to those changes, so please check the Privacy Policy periodically for updates.
This Privacy Policy is subject to and governed by the YIA. The Services are part of the Platform and are described further in the Terms of Service.
YIA may collect two types of information from you when you visit the Platform: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information (collectively “Information”).
We collect Information:
We use Personal Information that we collect about you or that you provide to us for the following purposes:
However, we will collect Personal Information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the Personal Information to perform a contract with you, where we have a legal obligation to do so, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests (such as processing for administrative purposes, direct marketing, product development or improvement, preventing fraud or criminal acts and in support of information security) and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
If we ask you to provide Personal Information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the time of collection. We will also tell you whether the requirement for that information is mandatory and explain any consequences to you if you do not provide the information.
Similarly, if we collect and use your Personal Information based on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will take reasonable steps to provide clear notice and describe our legitimate interests.
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your Personal Information for any specific processing activity, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “HOW TO CONTACT US” Section below.
RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION: We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements and for other purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We may retain your Personal Information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see “YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS” below for further information. And in some circumstances we will anonymize your Personal Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
The Platform is designed to provide reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and organizational security measures to protect your Personal Information against risks such as temporary or permanent loss, destruction, and unauthorized or unlawful access, alteration, use or disclosure. We require our suppliers and vendors to apply similar protections when they access or use Personal Information that we share with them. Users of the Platform must also do their part in protecting the data, systems, networks, and service they are utilizing. No technology, data transmission or system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure please immediately notify us by contacting us using the instructions in the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section below.
We work through our affiliates to provide the Platform and other YIA Services. We also work with authorized suppliers and business partners. When we share your Personal Information with these companies, we put in place appropriate measures to limit the use of your information only for legal and authorized purposes that are consistent with this Privacy Policy, as well as appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We also share information with third parties for advertising and marketing; when required by law or to respond to legal process; to protect our customers; to protect lives; to maintain the security of the Platform; and to protect our legal rights. We may disclose Personal Information that we collect or you provide as described in this Privacy Policy:
We also share non-personally identifiable information, such as anonymized or aggregated information, with suppliers for purposes such as analysis, identifying trends in the areas of our products and to help research and develop new YIA Services.
YIA does not sell any of your Personal Information for monetary compensation.
We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose Information from children under 16. If we learn that we have collected the Personal Information of a child under 16—or the equivalent minimum age depending on the jurisdiction, such as 13 in the United States per the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act—we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. If you are under 16, do not provide any Information about yourself to YIA, including your name, address, telephone number or email address. If you become aware that Information of a child under 16 years of age has been provided, please use one of the methods provided under the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section below.
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites or services linked to or from the Platform, including the information or content contained therein. This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the policies and practices of third parties or other organizations that are not operating on YIA’’s behalf, including policies and practices related to privacy and security, data collection, processing, use, storage, and disclosure. This includes: (a) any third party operating any site or service to which the Platform links – the inclusion of a link on the Platform does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates; or (b) any app developer, app provider, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider or device manufacturer (such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, etc.) – including any Personal Information you disclose to other organizations through or in connection with the Platform or other LeadConnector Services.
Some browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that, when turned on, signals to websites and online services that you do not want to be tracked. At this time, the Platform does not respond to DNT signals.
YIA respects your rights in how your Personal Information is used and shared. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access or corrections to your personal data and make choices about the kinds of marketing materials you receive (or choose not to receive marketing from LeadConnector at all). See below for more information, depending on your location.
This section is addressed to California residents only and provides more information about your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act or “CCPA” (California Civil Code Section 1798.100 et seq.), as amended. Subject to certain exceptions, the CCPA grants to California residents the rights to: be notified about the collection, use, disclosure, sale or sharing of their Personal Information; request access to, deletion of, or correction of their Personal Information; request to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information (where such information is sold or shared); limit the use or disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information (as defined under CCPA); and to not be discriminated against for exercising such rights.
YIA does not sell your Personal Information. If you wish to exercise your right to opt-out of LeadConnector using your Personal Information for cross-contextual targeted advertising purposes (called “sharing” under the CCPA), you may do so by using the details in the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section or the appropriate withdrawal mechanism provided to you on the Platform.
You can request access to, correction of or deletion of your Personal Information by using the details in the “HOW TO CONTACT US” section. If you request a deletion of your Personal Information, please note that LeadConnector may still need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes, to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting such deletion, to comply with applicable law, or for other purposes permitted by CCPA. If you submit a request to exercise rights under CCPA, YIA will ask you to provide certain information to verify your identity. This information will depend on your prior interactions with YIA and the sensitivity of Personal Information at issue. I
The Privacy Policy describes the categories of Personal Information that YIA collects and how YIA uses such Personal Information. If LeadConnector collects Sensitive Personal Information, we limit our use of the Sensitive Personal Information to uses: (1) you have authorized, (2) that are required to fulfill your requests for goods or services, or (3) that are otherwise allowed by the CCPA or required by other laws or regulations.
