We collect data from visitors to our website to better understand how people use the site and how we can make improvements, as well as to keep our website and users safe and secure. In cases where we ask specifically for a name and/or email address, we collect that information so we can share updates or content you asked to receive. Some plugins that help this site function may independently collect data from website visitors. YDF does not share or sell any of this data with third parties and only uses information to communicate with visitors when they have asked to receive ongoing communications and/or to provide services to clients

We collect data when users give us consent and willingly and knowingly share their information. We also collect information from clients of YDF in order to fulfill the duties of our service contracts with those clients.

Our service providers include, but are not limited to, our administrator, our auditors and our legal advisor. Additionally, we may disclose such nonpublic personal information as required by law (such as to respond to a subpoena) or to satisfy a request from a regulator and/or to prevent fraud. Without limiting the foregoing, we may disclose nonpublic personal information about you to governmental entities and others in connection with meeting our obligations to prevent money laundering including, without limitation, the disclosure that may be required by the Uniting and Strengthening America Act by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001 and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, if we choose to dispose of our clients’ nonpublic personal information that we are not legally bound to maintain, we will do so in a manner that reasonably protects such information from unauthorized access. The same privacy policy also applies to former clients who are natural persons.
