Privacy Policy

Who we are

YCM Ventures LLC is a Limited Liability Company registered in the Sharjah Media City (Shams) Free Zone, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Licence no. 2644816.01, formation no. 2644816. Registered office: Shams Business Center, Sharjah Media City Free Zone, Al Messaned, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, P.O. Box 515000. Email: ycpartnersinternational@gmail.com. Phone: +971 58 612 3753.

We are the controller of the personal data described in this policy. That means we decide why and how it is processed.

Our work is licensed as computer programming, IT consultancy and management consultancy. We sell to businesses (B2B): fast-growing SMEs and startups.

What data we collect

We only collect what we need to answer you and to keep the site secure. There is no account, no profile and no advertising on this website.

• Contact form: your name, work email address, company name, your message, the timestamp of your consent, plus your IP address and browser user agent for anti-spam purposes.
• Email correspondence: anything you choose to send us by email, and our replies.
• Technical data: server logs and aggregated page metrics generated when you visit the site.

Cookies and analytics

We use no advertising cookies, no Google Analytics and no tracking pixels. We do not build profiles and we do not sell data.

We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights only. Both are cookie-less and report aggregated figures such as page views and loading times. They do not identify you.

Why we process your data, and on what legal basis

• To answer your request and take pre-contractual steps at your request.
• To keep the site secure and block spam, and to measure aggregate traffic — our legitimate interest.
• For the contact form, we also rely on your consent, as required by the UAE Personal Data Protection Law. You tick the box before sending, and you can withdraw that consent at any time.
• To meet our legal obligations, in particular accounting and tax record-keeping under UAE law.

Who else handles your data

We use a small number of service providers. They act as processors: they may only process data on our instructions, under a data processing agreement.

• Vercel Inc. — website hosting and server functions.
• Supabase Inc. — database hosting.
• Cloudflare Inc. — Turnstile, the anti-spam check on the contact form.
• Resend — email notifications when a form is submitted.
• Our email provider, for correspondence with you.

International transfers

Your data may be stored and accessed from a country other than yours, including the United Arab Emirates, where our founder and manager works. Such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses where required.

Some of our processors are established in the United States. Those transfers rely on standard contractual clauses and on the provider's recognised certifications where available.

How long we keep it

• Contact form messages: deleted 12 months after our last exchange, unless a contract follows.
• Contract and invoicing data: kept 5 years under UAE Corporate Tax law, and 7 years for accounting records where that longer period is required.
• Analytics: aggregated and non-identifying, so it is not linked to you.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, erase, restrict or transfer your data. You can object to processing based on our legitimate interest, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Write to ycpartnersinternational@gmail.com and we will reply within one month.

We make no automated decisions about you and we do no profiling.

If you think we have got something wrong, you can complain to the UAE Data Office or to the data protection authority of your own country.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS. The database uses row-level security, and access is limited to the controller. We keep the number of tools and the number of people involved deliberately small.

If a breach affects your data, we notify the competent authority within the deadline set by applicable law, and immediately as required by the UAE Personal Data Protection Law. We tell you directly when the risk to you is high.

Children

This website is aimed at businesses. It is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our tools or our obligations change. The date at the top always shows the current version. Questions go to ycpartnersinternational@gmail.com.
