Yuccan International Ltd - General Privacy Policy
This General Privacy Policy explains how Yuccan International Ltd (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal data in connection with our websites, platforms, applications, and services (the “Services”). It is designed to align with our
General Terms of Use and applicable data protection laws globally.

- (c) - Third-party service providers and integrations (where enabled by you).
4. How We Use Personal Data (Purposes & Legal Bases)
We process personal data to:
- (a) - Provide, operate, maintain, and secure the Services (contract necessity/legitimate interests).
- (b) - Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, security incidents, and misuse (legitimate interests/legal obligations).

- (f) - Where required by law, we will seek your consent (e.g., certain cookies/marketing in some jurisdictions).
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, SDKs, and similar technologies for core functionality, security, and analytics. Where required, we obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies. Your browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies; doing so may affect Service functionality.
6. How We Share Personal Data

- Legal/regulatory: to comply with law, enforce our Terms, protect rights, safety, and security.
- Corporate transactions: in connection with mergers, acquisitions, financing, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate protections.
We do not authorize third parties to use personal data for their own independent marketing without your consent.
7. Telephone Number Collection, SMS/MMS, and Voice Communications
This section supplements the general provisions above and provides specific disclosures required by telecommunications privacy laws worldwide regarding the collection of phone numbers and delivery of SMS/MMS or voice communications.
7.1 What We Collect
We may collect your telephone number when you voluntarily provide it through our contact forms, chatbot, or other communication channels. Phone number collection is always optional and is never a condition of purchasing goods or services or submitting a form.
7.2 How We Use Your Phone Number
We may use your phone number to:
- (a) - Respond to your inquiries or service requests via telephone call or SMS.
- (b) - Send appointment or consultation confirmations.
- (c) - Provide service-related updates relevant to your request.
- (d) - Send marketing or promotional messages only if you have provided separate, explicit consent specifically for marketing communications.
7.3 Consent
- (a) - Separate consent required. Consent for SMS/MMS communications is collected separately from other forms of communication consent (e.g., email). We never use pre-checked consent boxes.
- (b) - Affirmative action required. We require your explicit, affirmative opt-in before sending any SMS/MMS messages. Providing your phone number alone does not constitute consent to receive text messages or marketing calls.
- (c) - Marketing vs. non-marketing. Where we offer marketing communications via SMS, consent for marketing messages is obtained through a separate, clearly labelled opt-in mechanism distinct from non-marketing communications consent.
- (d) - Consent is not transferable. Your SMS/MMS opt-in consent cannot be purchased, sold, or transferred to or from any third party.
- (e) - Age restriction. You must be at least 18 years of age to opt in to receive SMS/MMS messages or telephone calls from Yuccan International Ltd. If you are between 13 and 17 years of age, you may only opt in with verifiable parental or legal guardian consent. We do not knowingly collect phone numbers or SMS consent from individuals under 13 years of age.
7.4 No Third-Party Sharing of Mobile Data
We do not sell, rent, share, or disclose your phone number or SMS/MMS opt-in consent data to any third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. All text messaging originator opt-in data and consent is excluded from any third-party sharing arrangement. Disclosure to subcontractors, aggregators, or service providers is limited to what is strictly necessary to deliver messages on our behalf, and is subject to contractual confidentiality and data protection obligations.
7.5 Opt-Out Rights
- (a) - You may revoke your consent to receive SMS/MMS messages at any time by: replying STOP (or END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT) to any message; emailing [email protected]; calling +64 9 886 4638; or by any other reasonable method.
- (b) - Opt-out requests will be honoured within 5 business days.
- (c) - After opting out, you will receive one final confirmation message. No further SMS/MMS messages will be sent unless you re-subscribe.
- (d) - For assistance at any time, reply HELP to any message or contact us via the channels above.
7.6 Message Frequency and Rates
Message frequency varies based on your interactions with us. Standard message and data rates may apply as determined by your mobile carrier. Yuccan International Ltd is not responsible for carrier-imposed charges.
7.7 Communication Hours
We will only place outbound telephone calls or send SMS/MMS messages between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM in the recipient's local time, unless the communication is a direct response to an urgent inquiry you initiated, or you have expressly consented to contact outside these hours.
7.8 Do Not Call Compliance
We comply with applicable Do Not Call registers and suppression lists (including the Australian Do Not Call Register and equivalent registers in other jurisdictions). If your number appears on a Do Not Call register, we will not contact you by telephone for marketing purposes unless you have provided separate, specific, express consent.
7.9 Carrier Liability
Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery is subject to your carrier's network availability, coverage, and technical capabilities.
7.10 Consent Record Retention
We maintain records of SMS/telephone consent (including when consent was given, how it was obtained, what disclosures were presented, and the phone number associated with the consent) for a minimum of five (5) years from the date consent was last relied upon, or as otherwise required by applicable law. These records are maintained to demonstrate compliance with regulatory obligations.
7.11 Applicable Laws
Our telephone and SMS/MMS practices are designed to comply with applicable laws including but not limited to: the New Zealand Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007; the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and FCC regulations; the CAN-SPAM Act; the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ePrivacy Directive; Australia's Spam Act 2003 and Do Not Call Register Act 2006; Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL); U.S. A2P 10DLC registration requirements; and CTIA Messaging Principles and Best Practices. Where requirements differ between jurisdictions, the more protective standard applies to you.
8. International Transfers
We operate globally. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we use lawful transfer mechanisms (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards) and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services and for legitimate and lawful purposes (including security, fraud prevention, recordkeeping, and legal compliance). Retention periods vary by category and context.
10. Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data (including encryption in transit, access controls, and logging). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your credentials.
11. Your Rights
Your rights depend on where you live and applicable law. Subject to conditions and exceptions, you may have rights to:
- (a) - Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
- (b) - Restrict or object to certain processing, and data portability.
- (c) - Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

12. Region-Specific Notices (Summary)

13. Children's Privacy
The Services are not directed to children below the age at which valid consent can be given in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal data from such children; if we learn we have done so, we will delete it.
14. Third-Party Links
The Services may link to third-party websites, content, products, or services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before providing personal data.

In alignment with our General Terms of Use, we recognize privacy requests and official communications only if sent to:
- Email: [email protected]
- Registered mail/courier: Yuccan International Ltd, 51 Abbotts Way, Remuera, Auckland 1050, New Zealand
Notices are deemed received (a) if sent by email, on the date successfully transmitted; (b) if sent by registered mail/courier, on the date of delivery evidenced by tracking/receipt. Communications sent through any other medium (including social media, chatbots, or employee personal emails) are not valid for legal or contractual purposes.
16. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
This General Privacy Policy is governed by the same law and dispute resolution framework set out in our General Terms of Use (see “Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Anti-Forum Shopping”). In summary, New Zealand law applies unless mandatory local law requires otherwise; unresolved disputes are submitted to binding arbitration under ICC/LCIA rules in London, England; courts of the primary jurisdiction may be used to enforce awards where permitted.
17. Changes to This General Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via the Services and by email (where appropriate), including effective date information. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
