1.   Collection and use of personal data
1.1  What type of data do we collect
We obtain personal data about you if you choose to share it with us – for example, to contact mailboxes, participate in offers or register for certain services. In some cases, you may have previously provided your personal data to group companies of YuHu Gifts (if, for example, you are a former employee or customer or partner of any of our subsidiaries).
By registering and/or submitting personal data to YuHu Gifts, you are giving your consent to us so that YuHu Gifts may use this data in accordance with this Privacy Statement. Your personal data is not used for other purposes, unless we obtain your permission, or unless otherwise required or permitted by law or professional standards. For example, if you subscribe to our services or participate in any of our offers and provide information about your preferences, we will use this information to personalise your user experience. If you subscribe to receive direct marketing (i.e. newsletters, insights, events etc.) we may use your personal data in order to send you such messaging. If you send us a resume or curriculum vitae (CV) to apply online for a position at any of the subsidiaries of YuHu Gifts, we will use the information that you provide to match you with available job opportunities at the Group.

1.2 Legal grounds to use personal data
YuHu Gifts generally collects only the personal data necessary to fulfill your request. Where additional data is sought, you will be notified of this at the point of collection.
The applicable legislation allows us to process personal data, so long as we have a processing ground under the law to do so. It also requires us to tell you what those grounds are. As a result, when we process your personal data, we will rely on one of the following legal grounds for processing:

  • Performance of a contract: this is when the processing of your personal data is necessary in order to perform our obligations under a contract or the intention to enter into a contract;
  • Legal obligation: this is when we are required to process your personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation, such as keeping records for tax purposes or providing information to a public body or law enforcement agency;
  • Legitimate interests: we may process data about you where it is in our legitimate interest in running a lawful business to do so in order to further that business, so long as it doesn’t outweigh your interests; or
  • Your consent: we may occasionally ask you for specific permission to process some of your personal data, and we will only process your personal data in this way if you agree to us doing so. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting YuHu Gifts at info@yuhugifts.com

1.3 Purposes for which your personal data will be processed
We will only process your personal data for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and we will not process your personal data further in a way that is incompatible with those purposes.
This purpose can be the execution of an engagement, the improvement of your visit on our website or portals, the improvement of our products and services more generally, the offering of services or applications, marketing communications and actions, web personalisation, direct marketing and web analytics among others.
The purpose of each processing of your personal data will be clearly defined in the privacy notice. This privacy notice will be accessible, for example, on a website or portal, on an application, in an electronic newsletter and all other communications.

1.4 Automatic collection of personal data
In some instances, YuHu Gifts and its service providers use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to automatically collect certain types of information when you visit us online, as well as through emails that we may exchange. The collection of this information allows us to customise your online experience, improve the performance, usability and effectiveness of YuHu Gifts and its subsidiaries’ online presence, and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities.
