2. Collection and Use of Personal Data

We collect and process personal data only where necessary for the following purposes:

• To provide and improve our website and online services
• To respond to inquiries submitted via email or contact form
• To process bookings, contracts, or coaching sessions
• To send newsletters or marketing communications if you have subscribed

The legal bases for processing are primarily Art. 6(1)(a) (consent), Art. 6(1)(b) (contract performance), and Art. 6(1)(f)(legitimate interest) of the GDPR.

3. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

All data transmitted between your browser and our server is protected through SSL/TLS encryption.

4. Use of Service Providers and Data Transfers

Your personal data is generally processed within Germany or the European Union.

If we use external service providers (e.g., for email delivery, hosting, booking, or payment processing), they act as data processors under Art. 28 GDPR and are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only according to our instructions.

If data is transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA (for example, to the United States for certain digital tools), this is done only on the basis of adequate safeguards, such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses or recognized adequacy decisions under Art. 45–46 GDPR.

5. Data Retention

We store personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.

Once the purpose no longer applies or the retention period expires, the data will be deleted or securely anonymized.

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): You may request information about your stored personal data.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.

• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR).
• Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
• Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): You may object to processing of your data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
