Depending on your location, Yaso may process information because it is necessary to perform a contract, comply with a legal obligation, pursue legitimate business interests, protect vital interests or because you provided consent. Where consent applies, you may withdraw it, subject to lawful processing already completed.
6. Data retention
Yaso retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including account operation, transaction records, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, tax, accounting and legal obligations.
Deletion requests may not immediately remove information from backups or records that must be retained by law. Retained data will remain restricted and deleted or anonymized when the applicable retention period ends.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, receive a portable copy of information, withdraw consent, or appeal a privacy decision.
Submit requests through the Account Deletion page or contact privacy@yaso.com. Yaso may verify identity before completing a request.
