Data Governance & Protection Framework
Last Updated: March 2026
Yovee operates as an activity-based social networking platform. We are committed to responsible data governance, transparency, and compliance with internationally recognized data protection standards including GDPR and related privacy regulations.
1. Purpose Limitation
We collect and process personal data solely to operate and improve our activity-based social platform. We do not use personal data for romantic matchmaking, psychological profiling, or unrelated commercial purposes.
2. Data Minimization
We collect only the information necessary to enable account functionality, safety, moderation, and activity-based connections. Excessive or unrelated data collection is avoided.
3. Lawful Processing
Personal data is processed under lawful bases including contractual necessity, legitimate interest, legal compliance, and user consent where required.
4. Transparency & User Control
Users can access, modify, or delete their personal data at any time via account settings. We provide clear explanations of how data is used.
5. Data Retention Policy
Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill platform operations or comply with legal obligations. Deleted accounts are permanently removed within a defined retention window.
6. Security & Infrastructure
We implement encryption, access controls, monitoring systems, and secure cloud infrastructure to protect user information. Security reviews are performed regularly.
7. Access Control & Internal Governance
Access to personal data is limited to authorized personnel with defined roles and responsibilities. Internal policies regulate data handling and audit procedures.
8. International Data Transfers
Where cross-border data processing occurs, we apply appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protection mechanisms.
9. Incident Response
In the event of a data breach, we follow structured incident response procedures and notify relevant authorities and users when legally required.
10. Children’s Data Protection
Yovee is restricted to users aged 18 and above. Accounts found to belong to minors are removed and associated data deleted.
