How we use your information
This privacy notice tells you how we, YASA, will collect and use your personal data for the following reasons:
You will be asked in advance for your consent for inclusion in each instance.
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use the data from GA to determine how many people are using our site, how people find and use our web pages, and to visualise user journeys through the website.
Although GA records data, such as, your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information makes you personally identifiable to YASA. Your computer’s IP address is also recorded by GA and presents a potential way for you to be personally identified; however, Google do not grant YASA access to this information. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor.
GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides. Our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA. Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website; however, this may have an impact on the website display quality.
Why does YASA need to collect and store personal data?
In order for us to provide you with a response to a general enquiry, a quote, a marketing request or a recruitment submission for example, we need to collect personal data for correspondence purposes.

Will YASA share my personal data with anyone else?
We may pass your personal data on to third-party service providers contracted to YASA in the course of dealing with you. Any third parties that we may share your data with are obliged to keep your details securely, and to use them only to deliver you a quote, respond to a recruitment submission, respond to a marketing request or general enquiry. When they no longer need your data to fulfil this service, they will dispose of the details in line with YASA’s procedures.
