2. Overview

Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. I process such data only to the extent necessary for the operation of this website, responding to your inquiries, scheduling appointments, and providing my consulting and coaching services, or if you have given your consent.

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize the encrypted connection by the “https://” in your browser’s address bar.

Fonts and icons are loaded exclusively from our own server. No connection is made to servers operated by Google or other font providers.

3. Hosting, Server Log Files, and Security

Hosting

This website is hosted by Alfahosting GmbH, Edmund-von-Lippmann-Straße 13-15, 06112 Halle (Saale). The provider processes the data collected on this website on my behalf based on a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR; my legitimate interest lies in the secure and reliable operation of the website.

Server Log Files

Every time you visit the website, the server automatically collects information transmitted by your browser: IP address, date and time of the request, page accessed, referrer URL, browser type and version, and operating system. This data is not combined with other data sources and is used to ensure the technical operation and security of the website. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The log files are deleted after no more than 7 days.

Protection of the Login Area

To protect against unauthorized access, the website logs the IP address and the username used in the event of failed login attempts to the administration area (using the “Limit Login Attempts Reloaded” plugin). The data remains on our own server. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Visitors who do not attempt to log in are not affected by this.

Data Backups

Backup copies of the website are created regularly; these may also contain form and log data. The backups are stored on the server of the hosting provider Alfahosting GmbH,  13-15 Edmund-von-Lippmann-Straße, 06112 Halle (Saale)] and overwritten after 30 days. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

4. Cookies and Consent Management

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Technically necessary cookies are set in accordance with Section 25(2)(2) of the TDDDG and Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. All other cookies and similar technologies are used only with your consent in accordance with Section 25(1) of the TDDDG and Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

Compliance

I use the “Complianz” plugin (provider: Complianz B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, Netherlands) to obtain and manage your consents. The plugin runs on my own server; no data is transmitted to the provider. Your selections are stored in cookies on your device. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(2)(2) of the TDDDG.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Manage Consent” button at the bottom of the screen.

5. Making Contact

Contact form

If you contact me via the contact form, I will process the information you provide: first name, last name, email address, phone number, your area of interest, and your message. The data is stored on this website’s server and sent to me via email. It will not be shared with third parties.

Email and Phone

If you contact me by email or phone, I will store and process your inquiry, including any resulting personal data, in order to address your request.

Legal Basis and Retention Period

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry relates to a contract or concerns precontractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on my legitimate interest in handling inquiries (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). I will delete your inquiry as soon as it has been fully processed and there are no legal retention requirements that prevent me from doing so.

6. Reach Measurement Using Burst Statistics

This website uses “Burst Statistics” (provider: Burst Statistics B.V., Kalmarweg 14-5, 9723 JG Groningen, Netherlands) to analyze website traffic statistically. The data is stored exclusively on our own server and is not transmitted to the provider or any other third parties.

The data collected includes, among other things, pages visited, time spent on the site, referrer, browser, device type, and a pseudonymous visitor ID. IP addresses are not stored permanently. The “burst_uid” cookie is set for recognition purposes.

The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time via “Manage Consent.”

7. Scheduling Appointments via Calendly

On the “Free Strategy Consultation” page, you can book an appointment online. This page uses the booking tool provided by Calendly LLC, 115 E Main St, Ste A1B, Buford, GA 30518, USA. Calendly will not load until you have agreed to the terms in the consent banner.

When the booking calendar loads, your IP address is transmitted to Calendly; Calendly may set its own cookies in the process. When you book an appointment, Calendly processes the information you enter (name, email address, selected appointment, and any additional details) and forwards it to me.

The legal basis for downloading the tool is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG. The processing of your booking data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (precontractual measures).

Calendly processes data in the United States. The transfer is safeguarded by the provider’s certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, additionally, by the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. A data processing agreement is in place with Calendly. For more information: calendly.com/legal/privacy-notice.

If you’d prefer not to use Calendly, you can always schedule an appointment by email or phone.

8. Links to Social Media Sites and Other Websites

This website contains links to my profiles on LinkedIn and Instagram, as well as to external sites such as Amazon (book publication). These are simple links; no plugins from these providers are integrated. Data is only transmitted to the respective provider when you click on the link. From that point on, that provider’s privacy policy applies.

If you contact me via LinkedIn or Instagram, I will process your message in order to respond to it on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) or (f) of the GDPR. The operators of these platforms are responsible for data processing: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland.

9. Customer and Contract Information

If you book consulting services, coaching, workshops, or seminars with me, I will process the data necessary to fulfill the contract: name, address, contact information, contract and billing information, as well as the details of our collaboration. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

I retain invoices and accounting records for up to ten years in accordance with commercial and tax law requirements (Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR). I treat the content of coaching sessions as confidential and do not disclose it to third parties.

If applicable: I conduct online appointments via Zoom Video Communications, Inc., 55 Almaden Blvd, San Jose, CA 95113, USA. In doing so, I process your name, email address, video and audio data, and technical connection data. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.]

10. Recipients and Retention Periods

Your data is shared only with service providers that I use to operate this website and my business (hosting, email, appointment scheduling, tax consulting) and who are contractually bound to maintain confidentiality. Data is transferred to countries outside the EU only as described in Section 7.

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this statement, I will delete personal data as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies and there are no legal retention requirements.
