Scope

This policy explains how I process personal data when you use my website, contact me, book appointments via my Google Calendar link, and subscribe to my newsletter.

1) Data categories at a glance

Usage/technical data (IP address, timestamp, requested URL, referrer, user agent, status code — server logs); communication data (name, email, message content when you contact me by email); booking data (appointment details you provide via Google Calendar); newsletter data (email, optional name, double-opt-in and send/engagement metadata via Brevo).

2) Legal bases (Art. 6 GDPR)

Website delivery & security (logs): legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)). Replies to inquiries / pre-contractual steps: contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) or legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)). Newsletter: consent (Art. 6(1)(a)). Consent records/legal duties: legal obligation/legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(c)/(f)). Cookies/marketing tags: consent where required (Art. 6(1)(a), TTDSG). I currently do not set non-essential cookies.

3) Hosting & server logs

Provider: Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (Cloudflare Pages). For operation and security, the host processes server log files. Retention: typically 7–30 days, then deletion. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. As Cloudflare is based outside the EU/EEA, transfers rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR) and additional safeguards where appropriate.

4) Contact (email)

Contact runs through a simple mailto link — there is no form on the website that transmits data to me or third parties; your email is sent directly from your own email client. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) or (f). Retention: deleted when resolved unless legal retention applies.

5) Appointment booking via Google Calendar

I provide a booking link to Google Calendar (Appointment Schedules). When you follow the link, you are using Google's service. Provider: Google Ireland Limited (for EEA); potential processing by Google LLC (USA). Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) and (f). No appointment widget is embedded on my site; data is transmitted to Google only after you follow the link.

6) Newsletter via Brevo (Sendinblue SAS)

I use Brevo to send newsletters, double opt-in on signup. Provider: Brevo (Sendinblue SAS), France, DPA in place (Art. 28 GDPR). Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a)). Retention: while subscribed; logs up to 3 years after last send/unsubscribe.

7) Cookies & Consent (TTDSG)

I currently do not use analytics, marketing pixels, or embedded third-party widgets; no non-essential cookies are set. The three Kaleidoscope Mind quizzes are plain outbound links to Tally — no embed, no data exchange before you click.

8) External links (Tally, Instagram, LinkedIn, Amazon Author Central, Gumroad, Spotify)

My website links to Tally (quizzes), Instagram, LinkedIn, Amazon Author Central, Gumroad, and Spotify. These are simple outbound links. Legal basis for linking: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

9) Contract execution & tax retention

For paid services I invoice directly (Sparring, Speaking), I process customer/transaction data per Art. 6(1)(b)/(c), retained up to 10 years under tax law. Purchases via Gumroad are processed by Gumroad as an independent controller.

10–17) Recipients, international transfers, retention, your rights, security, automated decisions, changes

Standard provisions apply: data shared only with necessary processors under Art. 28 GDPR agreements; international transfers rely on adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses; data retained only as long as necessary; you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability (Art. 15–21 GDPR) and may complain to a supervisory authority, e.g. Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit; appropriate technical/organizational security measures are applied (TLS, access controls, backups); no automated decision-making or profiling with legal effect takes place.
