My website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Strictly necessary cookies support the basic functionality, security and operation of the website.

Where cookies or similar technologies are strictly necessary, their use is based on Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). The associated processing of personal data is based in particular on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

For non-essential cookies and similar technologies, especially those used for analytics and marketing, your consent is requested through the cookie banner.

The legal bases are Section 25(1) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You can reject non-essential cookies and withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by changing your cookie preferences.

5. Google Analytics

My website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google.

Google Analytics helps me understand how visitors use my website. The information processed may include:

You may withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings.

When Google Analytics is used, data may also be transferred to Google companies or service providers outside the European Economic Area. Such transfers are subject to applicable legal requirements.

If you contact me through my website's contact form or by email, I process the information you provide.

This may include your name, email address and the content of your message.

Your data is processed to respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, to continue our communication.

If your enquiry relates to entering into or performing a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

For other enquiries, processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest is responding to messages and enquiries.

Your data will be deleted when it is no longer needed for the relevant purpose, unless legal retention obligations apply.

​

8. Online Quizzes Through Typeform

I offer German- and English-language online quizzes on my website to support professional reflection and personal orientation.

These quizzes are provided through Typeform.

When you complete a quiz, the following information may be processed:

• Technical connection and usage data

The quizzes focus on professional topics and are intended to support personal reflection and orientation.

Your data is processed to provide and evaluate the quiz you choose to complete.

Where processing is necessary to perform a contract or take steps before entering into a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Otherwise, processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, provided my legitimate interest in offering the voluntarily accessed quiz does not override your interests.

Your email address will only be used for newsletters or promotional emails if you have given the relevant consent.

Participation in the quiz does not depend on consenting to receive a newsletter.

Typeform uses external service providers to process data. According to Typeform, its main servers are located in the United States by default. Typeform states that it uses appropriate data protection safeguards for international data transfers.

Quiz responses and associated contact details are reviewed regularly, at least once a year, to determine whether continued storage is necessary. They are deleted when they are no longer needed and no legal retention obligations apply.

If you consent to receiving further emails while completing a Typeform quiz, I may manually transfer your contact details to Wix. In this case, newsletters will also only be sent after the required confirmation of your subscription.

To document your consent, information such as your email address, subscription date and confirmation may be stored.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Where payment service providers process data to fulfil their own legal obligations, carry out security checks or prevent fraud, they may act as independent data controllers for those purposes.

​

14. YouTube Videos

Videos from YouTube may be embedded on my website and within my online courses.

The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Some videos in my online courses are set to "unlisted" on YouTube. This means they are not normally discoverable through YouTube's public search function. However, this setting does not prevent YouTube from processing technical data.

When embedded videos are loaded or played, data may be transmitted to Google or YouTube.

This may include your IP address, device information, browser information and details of the page you accessed.

Where consent is required to load videos, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where applicable, Section 25(1) TDDDG.

If Google Maps is embedded directly on my website, technical information, particularly your IP address and device or browser information, may be transmitted to Google.

Where a map is loaded directly on my website and consent is required, processing takes place only after your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.

If you follow a link to Google Maps, you leave my website. Google's privacy provisions then apply to the subsequent processing of your data.

Booking and order data: This information is stored for the duration of the contractual relationship and subsequently for any applicable statutory retention periods.

These measures include encrypted data transmission where supported by the relevant services.

Despite appropriate security measures, complete security of data transmitted over the internet cannot be guaranteed.

​
