This policy describes how Yukongold-nz.org collects, uses, stores and protects users’ personal data. Information is processed only for purposes linked to the site’s operation, content management, security and compliance with applicable obligations. By using the site, the user confirms they have read the processing methods set out on this page.
Personal data we collect
While browsing and using the site, we may collect name, email address and other details you provide voluntarily through contact forms. The site can also record technical data during the session, including:
- IP address and the device used to access the site.
- Browser type and operating system.
- Access times and pages viewed during the visit.
- Referral source that led to the site.
This data is processed to keep the site working correctly and to improve the quality of published content.
How data is collected
Data is collected when the user fills in a contact form or interacts with the features on the site. Some technical information is recorded automatically during browsing through cookies, system logs and tools needed for security. We may also receive data from providers tasked with technical security, traffic analysis or communication support.
Purposes of processing
We use data to handle requests received through contact channels, keep the site secure and improve the structure of the content. Information may also be used to reply to messages, prevent unauthorised access and detect suspicious activity. Where permitted, some data may be used to send communications about updates or information the user has selected.
Basis for processing
Processing may be needed to provide the requested service, meet applicable obligations and protect the site from unauthorised access. In certain cases we use data on the basis of the user’s consent, for example for non-essential cookies or optional communications. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of operations carried out before withdrawal.
Data sharing
Information may be shared with providers who support hosting, security and technical assistance. These parties receive only the data needed to carry out the assigned tasks. We may also disclose information to competent authorities when required by law or during fraud investigations. Personal data is not sold to third parties for their own commercial purposes.
Data retention
Data is kept for as long as needed to handle the requests received and meet applicable regulatory obligations. The period can vary by the category of information and whether communications are ongoing. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted, anonymised or kept with limited access until the set period expires.
Data security
We apply technical and organisational measures to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure of information. Access to data is limited to staff and providers who need it for specific tasks. No digital system can guarantee absolute protection, though. Users should therefore report any suspicious activity immediately through the available contact channels.
User rights
The user can request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, or deletion or restriction of processing where applicable. They can also object to certain activities, withdraw consent and request data portability where relevant. Before processing a request, we may verify the requester’s identity. A reply is provided within the periods set by current regulations.
Data of minors
The site is not intended for people under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data belonging to minors. If we find that a minor has submitted personal information through the available forms, we delete the data in line with applicable obligations. Parents or guardians can report situations of this kind through the available contact channels.
Policy updates
This policy may be changed to reflect technical, operational or regulatory changes. The new version is published on this page and replaces the previous one from the date of the update. Users should review the content periodically to check for any changes to the purposes, recipients or retention periods for personal data.
