Last updated: 28 June 2026

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Yalcin Catering Consultancy Ltd ("YCC", "we", "us" or "our"), a company registered in England & Wales.

We are the data controller responsible for your personal data. This policy explains how we handle that data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. What information we collect

We may collect and process the following personal data:

  • Information you give us through our contact form: your name, email address, business or company name, the nature of your enquiry and the contents of your message.
  • Information you give us directly: any details you share when you contact us by email, phone or WhatsApp.

We do not knowingly collect any special category (sensitive) personal data through this website.

3. How and why we use your information

We use your personal data to:

  • respond to your enquiries and provide the information or services you request;
  • communicate with you about a potential or existing engagement;
  • keep records of our correspondence; and
  • comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

Our lawful bases for processing are your consent (when you choose to contact us) and our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and running our business.

4. Sharing your information

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share it only where necessary with trusted service providers who help us operate our business (for example email or hosting providers), or where we are required to do so by law. Any such providers are required to keep your data secure and use it only for the purposes we specify.

5. How long we keep your data

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out above, to maintain a reasonable record of our correspondence, and to meet any legal or accounting requirements. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete it.

6. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • request access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • request erasure of your data ("right to be forgotten");
  • object to or request restriction of our processing;
  • request portability of your data; and
  • withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@yalcinconsultancy.com.

7. Cookies

This website does not currently use tracking, advertising or analytics cookies. If we introduce such cookies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent.

8. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. However, no transmission of information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, please contact us first so we can try to resolve them. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK's supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk.
