Who are the holders of personal data? The holders of personal data are Customers, Partners, Employees, as well as other natural persons to whom the data relates and who use YOMASHI's services through its direct customers, the PET SITTERS, or their customers, the TUTORS.

What is personal data?They correspond to all the data necessary for the commercial relationship and other related relationships that are provided by the data subjects themselves or by their legal representatives or the personal data that result from these same relationships, namely: name, tax address, telephone number, e-mail address, tax identification number.

PURPOSES OF PROCESSING

The personal data collected by YOMASHI is processed in particular for the following purposes:

  • Registration management for TUTORS and their pets;

  • Appointment management;

  • Payment management;

  • Billing management;

  • Administrative communication;

  • Compliance with legal obligations;

  • Communicate application updates;

  • Communicate with the user regarding services or promotional content (only with the user's consent);

  • Provide, operate, and improve the app's features and functionalities;

  • Improve application security and protect against unauthorized access.

It should be noted that the purposes listed here will not be the only ones, and others may derive from them as far as possible. If there is a new purpose independent of the previous ones, YOMASHI will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis at the time the personal data is collected.

GROUNDS FOR DATA PROCESSING

YOMASHI will only process personal data to the extent that the processing is lawful and necessary. The processing of personal data is only lawful if and to the extent that at least one of the following situations applies:

  • Consent:

    When the data subject has given his/her prior express consent in writing, orally (after ratification where necessary), or by validating an option if such consent is free, informed, specific, and unambiguous for the processing of his/her personal data for one or more of the specific purposes referred to above.

    In the case of information relating to TUTOR(S), PET SITTER is obliged to ensure the appropriate consent of its customers before recording their personal information, and is also responsible for maintaining the privacy and security of this data.

  • Compliance with contractual obligations and pre-contractual due diligence:

    When the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations to which the data subject is a party or for pre-contractual steps at the request of the data subject, such as for the execution of the "advisory contract" or the preparation of a service proposal.

  • Fulfillment of legal obligations:

    When the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which YOMASHI is subject, such as the communication of identification data to police, judicial, tax, or regulatory entities.

  • Legitimate interest:

    When the processing of personal data corresponds to a legitimate interest of YOMASHI or a third party (such as the processing of data to improve the quality of service). and when YOMASHI's reasons for using it must prevail over data protection rights.

  • Defense of the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person:

    The processing of personal data should also be considered lawful when it is necessary for the protection of an interest essential to the life of the data subject or any other natural person. In principle, the processing of personal data based on the vital interest of another natural person can only take place when the processing cannot manifestly be based on another legal ground. Some types of processing may serve both important public interests and the vital interests of the data subject, for example if the processing is necessary for humanitarian purposes.

  • Performing duties in the public interest:

    When processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
