Privacy Policy

Politique de confidentialité · yigcore.com · Effective

This policy covers the website yigcore.com and the forms on it. It does not cover the Yigcore desktop software, which runs on your computer and sends nothing to us (see section 9).

1. Who is responsible

The controller is the publisher of the site, a natural person established in France who operates under the name Jerome Gao / YiG (publisher contact details in the legal notice). Contact for anything in this policy: support@yigcore.com. No data protection officer is designated; the processing described here does not require one (GDPR Art. 37).

2. What we collect, why, and on what basis

Data
Purpose
Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6)
Pilot application: work email, role, company type, reporting cadence, time spent per update, recurring problem, agent host, reason for applying, two optional answers, the page variant and the link you came from.
Assess whether your report fits the pilot, contact you to arrange a call, and run the pilot with you if it fits.
Steps taken at your request before a possible agreement (Art. 6(1)(b)).
Feedback ("Not ready to apply?"): the text you write.
Understand recurring problems in spreadsheet work and decide what to build.
Our legitimate interest in improving the product (Art. 6(1)(f)). The form asks for no names and no figures.
Roadmap votes: the item you vote for.
Count interest in roadmap items.
Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).
Status link (for people already on our list): email address, and the name, role and company you choose to update.
Send you a sign-in link to your record so you can update or withdraw it.
Performance of the service you request (Art. 6(1)(b)).
Visitor identifier yig_v (a random value in a cookie).
Count each visitor's roadmap vote once. It is set only when you vote.
Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)); see the cookies policy.
Technical data: IP address, browser and request details, processed by our host when you load a page or send a form.
Deliver the site, protect it against abuse (rate limiting), and measure audience in aggregate.
Legitimate interest in operating and securing the site (Art. 6(1)(f)).

The fields marked required on the pilot form are needed to assess your application; without them we cannot process it. Everything else is optional. We do not ask for, and you should not send, sensitive data (health, opinions and similar) or figures from your own reports.

Contacting you. We use your email to reply to your application. We may also write to you about the pilot and the release of Yigcore, because it relates to your professional role; every such email lets you object in one step, and we stop as soon as you do.

No automated decisions. A person reads every application. Nothing here produces a decision based solely on automated processing (GDPR Art. 22). We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or use it to train any AI model.

3. Who receives it

  • The publisher, who alone reads applications and feedback.
  • Cloudflare, Inc. (United States), our host: website, form processing, database, rate limiting, and aggregate audience measurement (Cloudflare Web Analytics). Acts as our processor.
  • Plus Five Five, Inc. (Resend) (United States), email delivery: the sign-in link you request, and the notification we send to ourselves when an application arrives. Acts as our processor.
  • The publisher's email provider, which stores those notifications in the publisher's mailbox.

We disclose data to authorities only when the law requires it.

4. Transfers outside the European Union

Cloudflare and Resend may process data in the United States. Both state that they are certified under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission found adequate on 10 July 2023; transfers to them rely on that decision, and on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses in their data processing terms wherever the framework does not apply. You can ask us for a copy of the relevant safeguards.

5. How long we keep it

  • Pilot applications and status-link records: three years from our last contact with you, then deleted; immediately on your request.
  • Withdrawn or closed records (if you withdraw from the list, or we close a record): excluded from any contact at once, deleted within 30 days.
  • Feedback text: 18 months, then deleted or reduced to statistics that identify no one.
  • Roadmap votes: 18 months.
  • Notification emails in the publisher's mailbox: deleted with the application they relate to.
  • Technical logs kept by our host: a few days, under the host's own retention. They carry no email addresses or form content.
  • The yig_v cookie: 6 months. The sign-in link: 90 days.

6. Your rights

You can ask us for access to your data, its correction or deletion, a restriction of its use, or a copy in a portable format, and you can object at any time to any use based on our legitimate interest, including emails about Yigcore (GDPR Art. 15 to 21). You can also give instructions on what happens to your data after your death (French law of 6 January 1978, Art. 85). Write to support@yigcore.com; we answer within one month. If we need to confirm who you are, we will ask only for what is necessary.

If you think we have not handled your data correctly, you can complain to the French data protection authority, the CNIL (cnil.fr, 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07), or to the authority of the EU country where you live or work.

7. Where the data comes from

Directly from you, through the forms on this site. We do not buy data or add information from other sources.

8. Security

Connections are encrypted (TLS). Submissions are stored in our host's database; reading them requires a private access key held by the publisher, and requests are rate-limited.

9. The Yigcore software

Yigcore runs on your own computer. Your projects and workbooks stay there and are not sent to us. If you connect an AI agent host (such as Claude or Codex), what you allow it to read is processed by that host and its model provider under their own terms, not by us. See security.

10. Minors

The site is meant for professionals. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 15; if you believe we have, tell us and we will delete it.

11. Changes

We update this page when our practices change and show the date above. If a change affects how we use data you have already given us, we will tell you by email before it applies.
