1. About YG GROUP

The YG GROUP entity operating this website is generally responsible for the personal information collected through the website.

When an order, contract, quotation, invoice, or other transaction is handled by another YG GROUP company, that company may also act as a data controller for the information necessary to manage the transaction. The relevant legal entity will normally be identified in the quotation, pro forma invoice, sales contract, commercial invoice, or other transaction document.

Individuals under 18 should not submit personal information, create an account, upload files, or place an order through the website without the involvement of a parent, guardian, or authorized adult representative.

YG GROUP does not knowingly collect personal information from children for marketing purposes.

Where we learn that personal information has been collected from a child contrary to applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete or otherwise appropriately handle that information.
