Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 21/08/2026 · Version: 1.0

Welcome to Ÿolko. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you visit our website at https://yolko.org/ and submit your email address to join our beta testing list or request early access.

1. Information We Collect

Because our site currently operates strictly as a pre-launch landing page, we adhere to the principle of data minimization. We only collect:

Email Address: Voluntarily provided by you when you fill out and submit our early access / beta testing sign-up form.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your email address exclusively for the following purposes:

To send you invitations to participate in our beta testing program;
To notify you about important updates, release schedules, and product launch announcements;
To occasionally request feedback about your expectations or experience during the beta phase.

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your email address or personal information to any third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), our legal basis for collecting and processing your email address is your explicit Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

4. Analytics & Cookies

Our landing page currently does not use tracking cookies, analytics scripts (such as Google Analytics or Hotjar), or third-party marketing pixels. We do not track your activity across third-party websites.

5. Data Storage & International Data Transfers

Your email address may be stored and processed using secure third-party infrastructure providers (e.g., cloud storage, backend databases, or email delivery systems) located outside your country of residence, including the United States.

When transferring data across international borders (including EEA, UK, APAC, and US), we ensure that standard contractual safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses - SCCs) are maintained to protect your data.

6. Data Retention

We retain your email address only for as long as necessary to conduct our beta testing program and launch the product, or until you exercise your right to unsubscribe or request deletion.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your region of residence (including EEA, UK, US/California, and APAC), you have the following rights:

Right to Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request the complete deletion of your email address from our database.
Right to Withdraw Consent: Unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any email or contacting us directly.
Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
Right to Lodge a Complaint: EEA and UK residents have the right to submit a complaint to their local Data Protection Authority.

8. Data Security

We employ appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your email address against unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, please note that no transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
