Last updated: 2 October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how YOU&Co collects and uses personal data when you visit youcoglobal.com (the "Website") or contact us through it. It is written to meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, as our projects and operations span the European Union and the United Arab Emirates.

Data you provide
When you submit the contact form or the pitch request form, we collect:

If you email us directly, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.
Data collected automatically
When you visit the Website, our hosting provider automatically records technical data in server logs: IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested and the date and time of the request. This is necessary to deliver the Website and keep it secure.
Cookies
The Website does not use cookies or third-party tracking technologies. Fonts and media are served from our own server.
3. Why we use your data
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to your enquiry and sending the materials you requested, such as a project pitch | Steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, and our legitimate interest in answering business enquiries |
| Following up on a potential partnership, investment or stay you have discussed with us | Our legitimate interest in developing business relationships |

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not sell it. We will only send you marketing communications if you have separately agreed to receive them.
4. Who we share it with
We share personal data only where necessary, with:
- our hosting provider, which stores the Website and its server logs;
- our email service provider, which delivers and stores your enquiries;
- professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors and accountants, under a duty of confidentiality;
- public authorities, where we are required to do so by law.
All service providers act on our instructions and are bound by contracts that protect your data.
5. International transfers
Our team and operations are located in the European Union and the United Arab Emirates, so your data may be transferred between them and to service providers in other countries. Where data leaves the European Economic Area for a country without an adequacy decision, we protect it with the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism. You can request a copy of the relevant safeguards using the contact details above.
6. How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not lead to a business relationship: 24 months from our last contact with you.
- Data related to a partnership, investment or stay: for the duration of the relationship and afterwards for as long as required by applicable law, typically 10 years for financial and tax records.
- Server logs: 30 days, unless needed to investigate a security incident.
7. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
- ask us to delete your data;
- ask us to restrict how we use your data;
- object to processing based on our legitimate interests;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw any consent you have given, at any time.
