We don’t collect any personal or identifiable information from you simply by virtue of you browsing this website.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
(Please note that this website does not provide any open facility for members of the public to register or leave comments, however the above relates to the base functionality of the software this website runs on and as such is included for completeness.)

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms
If you upload any personal or identifying information using our contact form, including any sample text files you choose to send, these will be sent via email to an internal enquiries mailbox accessible only to Yabe Translation. This information will only be used for the following purposes:
- to contact you regarding a quote for translations services;
- to follow up with you regarding any quotes issued but not responded to; and
- in the case of any sample texts provided, to ascertain whether the project is feasible and to assist with providing you a quote.
We will retain these details for no longer than either 30 days after receipt and acknowledgement, or 30 days after the end of any engagement which results from these emails; whichever is longer. After this time the emails and with them any information and sample texts they include will be irrevocably deleted.
However, if the email contact results in a billable engagement, we will retain details of the billable entity and their address, plus any other relevant information (e.g. VAT numbers, if necessary) for a period of no greater than six years after the end of the financial year the engagement concluded in as part of our standard billing and tax records. After this the data will be deleted.
