We may process your personal information where we determine it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
We may process your personal information where we receive your consent to do so. Where we rely on your consent for processing your personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

If you are located in the European Union and you want to exercise any of your rights as set forth above, please contact us at admin(at)youb.com. For Residents of California If you are a resident of California, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively the “CCPA”):

to request that your personal information be corrected;
to request that we limit our use of your sensitive personal information, to the extent such information is collected;
to equal service and equal price for goods or services even if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.

While California residents have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information and sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under CCPA, we do not sell personal information to any third parties or share personal information with third parties for such purpose, and therefore, we have not included a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our Site.
