2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us when you contact us through our website, request information about our services, engage us for professional work, or communicate with our team via email, telephone, or other channels. This may include your name, job title, company name, business address, email address, telephone number, and the nature of your inquiry or project requirements.

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information including your Internet Protocol address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited on our site, time and date of your visit, and the duration of your visit. This information is collected through standard server log files and analytics tools to help us understand how our website is used and to improve the experience for all visitors.

We may also collect information in the course of delivering professional services to client organizations, including technical specifications, business requirements, organizational data, and other project-related information. This information is used solely to deliver the contracted services and is governed by applicable client agreements and confidentiality obligations.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as government identification numbers, financial account details, health information, or biometric data through our website. If the nature of a client engagement requires handling such information, separate data processing agreements are established to govern those activities.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries and provide the professional services you request from us. This includes communicating about project requirements, preparing proposals, delivering contracted services, issuing invoices, and maintaining records of our professional engagements. Your contact information enables us to keep you informed about the status of your projects and any developments that may affect your engagement with us.

We use technical information gathered through website analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that our content is relevant and useful. This analysis helps us optimize website performance, identify technical issues, and enhance the overall user experience. We do not use this data to create individual profiles of website visitors for marketing or advertising purposes.

We may use your information to send relevant communications about our services, industry insights, or company announcements where you have indicated an interest in receiving such communications or where we have a legitimate business reason to do so. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting us directly at contact@yodala.mom.

We also use information to comply with applicable legal obligations, enforce our agreements, protect the rights and safety of our employees and clients, and prevent fraud or other harmful activities. These uses represent legitimate interests that we balance against your privacy rights in every circumstance.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

YODA LA, INC. does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We treat client information with the same level of confidentiality that we expect our clients to maintain regarding their own sensitive data. Our business model is built on trust and long-term professional relationships, and unauthorized sharing of client information is fundamentally inconsistent with our values and commitments.

We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or providing services to you, provided those parties agree to keep this information confidential. These service providers may include cloud hosting providers, email delivery services, accounting software platforms, and project management tools. We carefully evaluate these partners and require them to maintain appropriate data protection standards.

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, court order, or government authority, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, prevent fraud, or protect the safety of our employees, clients, or the public. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of such disclosures unless prohibited by law or court order.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring or successor entity. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected in such circumstances and will notify you of any material change in the handling of your personal information.

5. Data Security

We implement a range of technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security practices include encrypted data transmission, access controls and authentication requirements, regular security assessments, and staff training on data protection responsibilities.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to responding promptly and transparently to any security incidents that may affect your information. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to provide our services, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. When information is no longer required for these purposes, we securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data retention schedules and applicable legal requirements.
