This policy forms part of the terms governing use of the YMIN website. By using the website or submitting information to us, you acknowledge this policy. Where applicable law requires separate consent, we will request it separately.
1. Scope
This policy applies to the official website, Product Center, Application Center, design tools, download center, member and customer-service functions, and requests for quotations, samples, technical support or documents submitted online or offline through the website.
Third-party marketplaces, social-media platforms, maps and other independently operated websites are governed by their own privacy policies and are not covered by this policy.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you provide
- Contact and identity information, such as name, company, department, position, email address, telephone number and country or region.
- Business information, such as product category, series or part number, application, target parameters, quotation or sample requirements, project status and communication records.
- Design and support information, including lifetime-calculation inputs, 3D-CAD or SPICE requests, reliability requirements, technical questions and files you upload.
- Member and service records, including encrypted credential-verification data, usage history, download records, subscription preferences and account settings.
2.2 Information generated through website use
- Device and network data, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, access time, pages viewed, referring pages and error logs.
- Necessary information stored in cookies or browser local storage to maintain sign-in status and remember language and interface preferences.
We do not routinely request identity documents, financial accounts, medical information or other sensitive personal information unrelated to product support. Please do not submit unnecessary sensitive information in inquiries or attachments.
3. How we use information
- To respond to quotation, sample, product-selection, technical-support and after-sales requests.
- To provide product information, compliance documents, CAD/SPICE resources, lifetime calculations and other design tools.
- To verify the legitimacy and permitted scope of requests and protect website, account, download and intellectual-property security.
- To improve website content, product presentation, search and user experience, and to analyze website quality and traffic trends.
- To send product, technical, event and training information where you have opted in; you may unsubscribe at any time.
- To meet legal, regulatory or dispute-resolution obligations.
We process personal information only where we have a lawful basis, such as your consent, performance of a requested service or contract, compliance with legal obligations, or protection of website security and legitimate rights.
4. Cookies and local storage
The website may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies to maintain language, sign-in, interface and security states. These technologies help core features work, reduce repeated data entry and improve the browsing experience.
If analytics, advertising or other optional third-party tools are introduced, we will update this policy and provide any choice mechanism required by applicable law before enabling them. You may clear or reject cookies through browser settings, although sign-in, downloads, language memory or other features may then be affected.
For Cookie categories, current storage items and browser controls, see our Cookie Policy.
5. Sharing and processors
We do not sell your personal information. Where necessary, we may disclose or entrust information to:
- Service providers supporting website hosting, databases, email, customer relationship management, security or technical operations.
- YMIN affiliates or authorized business partners that need to collaborate on your selection, sample, quotation or technical request.
- Courts, regulators or public authorities where required by applicable law.
- A successor entity in a bona fide reorganization, merger or transfer of assets, subject to appropriate protection.
We limit sharing to what is necessary and require processors to apply appropriate safeguards and not use information for unauthorized purposes.
6. Retention and international transfers
We retain information only for the period necessary to achieve the purposes described above or to meet legal, tax, quality-traceability and dispute-resolution requirements. When that period ends, we delete or anonymize the information unless the law requires otherwise.
Visitors from different regions may access the website through international networks. If a transfer of personal information outside its originating jurisdiction is required, we will implement the required notices, consent, contractual safeguards or security assessments under applicable law.
7. Security
We use reasonable safeguards such as access controls, authentication, encrypted transmission, audit logs, role-based permissions and backup recovery. No internet environment is completely secure; please protect your credentials and avoid staying signed in on shared devices.
If personal information is breached, destroyed or lost, we will take remedial action and provide notifications to regulators and affected individuals where required by law.
8. Your rights
To the extent provided by applicable law, you may request access to, a copy of, correction of, supplementation of or deletion of your personal information; withdraw consent; close a member account; restrict or object to certain processing; and request an explanation.
Please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity. We will respond within a reasonable period and explain any lawful reason for refusal or extension.
9. Minors
The website is primarily intended for businesses and engineering professionals and does not offer products or member services to children under 14. We do not knowingly collect children's personal information. If we learn that such information was collected without guardian consent, we will delete it as required.
10. Third-party links
The website may link to third-party marketplaces, social media, maps, email services or other external services. Once you follow such a link, the third party's privacy policy and user terms apply. We do not control their independent processing activities.
11. Policy updates
We may update this policy when website features, processing practices or legal requirements change. Material changes will be communicated through a website notice, announcement or other appropriate method. The updated policy applies when formally published.
