Yabsta Limited - Data Protection Notice

This is the data protection notice referred to in the various Yabsta Limited Terms and Conditions applicable to our products and services (the "Conditions"). Terms defined in the relevant Conditions shall have the same meaning in this notice unless otherwise defined in this notice.

This notice applies to any natural person (a "data subject" or "you") entering into a Contract with Yabsta Limited ("we" or "us") or in relation to whom Yabsta Limited receives personal information in relation to a Contract. We may update this notice at any time.

Yabsta Limited is a 'data controller'. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you. We are required under the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018 and the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017 (as applicable, the "Data Protection Laws") to notify you of the information contained in this notice.

It is important that you read this notice, together with any other data protection notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal information about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information.

Yabsta Limited will process your personal information on the following legal bases:

  1. it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (the "contractual necessity" basis);
  2. it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (other than a contract) to which Yabsta Limited is subject (the "legal obligation" basis);
  3. it is necessary for the purpose of legitimate interests (the "legitimate interests" basis) pursued by Yabsta Limited or a third party provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests;
  4. if it is necessary to protect vital interests (life and limb) of the data subject or another person (the "vital interests" basis); or
  5. if it is necessary for any legal proceedings, obtaining legal advice or establishing, exercising or defending legal rights (the "legal proceedings" basis).

The purposes for which (and, in parentheses, the relevant legal bases on which) Yabsta Limited shall process your personal information in relation to the Contract are as follows:

  1. performing the Contract and providing the Service (legitimate interests and, where the data subject is a party to the Contract, contractual necessity);
  2. dealing with complaints or enquiries in relation to the use of the Service (legitimate interests);
  3. assisting the emergency services in an emergency (legitimate interests and, in some circumstances, vital interests);
  4. debt collection, credit referencing and preventing fraud, theft and other unlawful activity (legitimate interests); and
  5. compliance with applicable law or orders of a court or other body of competent jurisdiction (legal obligation).

Some of the above bases for processing will overlap and there may be several bases which justify the use of your personal information. We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to perform our obligations under the Contract and we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations. In such circumstances, Yabsta Limited may suspend the Service and/or terminate the Contract.

Yabsta Limited may disclose your personal information to members of the Yabsta Group and to third party sub-contractors or agents engaged by Yabsta Limited for the purpose of performing the Contract and providing the Service. Yabsta Limited may also disclose your personal information to persons making a complaint or an enquiry in relation to the use of the Service and, in an emergency, to the emergency services. Your personal information may be shared with other communications service providers and network operators, credit reference and debt collection agencies and the appropriate authorities for the purpose of preventing fraud, theft and other unlawful activity. Yabsta Limited may also be legally required to share your personal information with judicial, law enforcement, regulatory and governmental bodies or agencies.

As Yabsta Limited is part of an international group of companies operating globally we may store your personal data in your home country and/or we may transfer your personal data to other Yabsta group companies and carefully selected business partners and third party suppliers in other countries around the world where it has your consent or where it is necessary to do so because it is relevant to Yabsta Limited’s dealings with you. In all cases we will ensure the surety of the transfer of your data. 

In the event that a third party is outside the European Union and where the data being transferred include personal data, we will ensure that the relevant requirements of applicable data protection laws are met.

Yabsta Limited will store your personal information for no more than 6 years after your Contract has ended.

Under the Data Protection Laws, you will have the right in certain circumstances to:

  1. request access to your personal information (commonly known as a 'data subject access request'). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information held about you and to check that it is being lawfully processed;
  2. request correction of your personal information. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information held about you corrected;
  3. request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You will also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below);
  4. object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes;
  5. request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it; and
  6. request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you wish to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal information, or request the transfer of your personal information to another party, you should contact Yabsta Limited in writing. Yabsta Limited has appointed a data protection officer who may be contacted at info@jtdirectory.com. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if the request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

We do not envisage that any decisions will be taken about you using automated means, however we will notify you in writing if this position changes.

Under the Data Protection Laws, you will have the right to make a complaint at any time to either the Jersey or Guernsey Data Protection Authority, the Island's respective supervisory authorities for data protection issues.
