Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Yazhi Book of World Records ("Yazhi", "we", "us") operates this website. For any privacy-related question, contact us at [insert contact email].

2. Information We Collect

• Record applications: your name, email, phone, address, applicant type, and details of your proposed record and attempt, along with any evidence files you choose to upload.
• Contact form submissions: your name, email, phone (optional) and message.
• Event photography: if you attend a Yazhi event, you may be photographed for our public gallery.

We also automatically log a coarse IP address against form submissions for anti-spam and security purposes.

3. How We Use Information

• To review and process record applications, including verifying evidence and communicating status updates.
• To respond to contact form enquiries.
• To publish approved records and, where applicable, event photography, on the public website.
• To maintain the security and integrity of our systems.

4. Who Can See Your Information

Application details, contact information and evidence files are private and visible only to authorized Yazhi staff. Only the information you agree to have published (such as your name as a record holder, and the record details) is shown publicly once a record is approved. Evidence files are never published publicly.

We use third-party service providers to operate this website — for example, our hosting provider and our email delivery (SMTP) provider. [List specific providers here.]

5. Data Retention

We retain application data for as long as necessary to process your application and maintain our record archive, and as required by applicable law. [Specify a concrete retention period here.]

6. Cookies

[Describe session/admin-login cookies here once the backend is built, and any analytics/advertising cookies if added.]

7. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us at [insert contact email], referencing your Application ID where applicable.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date above.
