Data Protection Policy
Purpose of This Policy
At Yelk Software OÜ, we are committed to complying with applicable data protection laws and regulations. We believe that protecting personal data is fundamental to building and maintaining trustworthy business relationships.
This Data Protection Policy outlines our approach to handling personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant legislation. It serves as a framework for how we process personal data, particularly in the context of international cooperation and data transfer.
This policy applies to all Yelk Software OÜ employees and is based on globally recognized principles of data privacy and protection.
Principles of Personal Data Processing
As part of our operations, we may collect, use, and store certain types of personal information relating to individuals (data subjects). We are committed to processing personal data in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner, always respecting individual rights.
We adhere to the following principles:
- Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency
Personal data is processed in a legal, fair, and transparent way. - Purpose Limitation
Data is collected for clear, legitimate purposes and not further processed in ways that are incompatible with those purposes. - Data Minimisation
We only collect data that is relevant and limited to what is necessary for the intended purpose. - Accuracy
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the data we hold is accurate and kept up to date. Inaccurate data is corrected or deleted without delay. - Storage Limitation
Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. - Integrity and Confidentiality
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of personal data and protect it against unauthorized access, loss, or damage.
Lawfulness of Processing
In order to ensure that the processing of personal data is compliant with data protection regulations, it must be based on at least one valid legal ground. As defined in Article 6(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679), personal data may be lawfully processed when:
- The data subject has given explicit consent for their data to be processed for one or more specific purposes;
- The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or to take steps at their request prior to entering into a contract;
- The processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by Yelk Software OÜ or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the data subject’s fundamental rights and freedoms—particularly in the case of children.
In some cases, processing may be lawful without the need for prior consent, depending on the legal basis applicable.
