PRIVACY POLICY

  1. Data Protection at a Glance General Information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data refers to any data that can be used to personally identify you. Detailed information on data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.

Definitions

The privacy policy on this page is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Regulation legislator in the issuance of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To ensure that our privacy policy is understandable, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”) whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

b) Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations performed with or without automated processes, relating to personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Data controller

Data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the data controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the data controller.

i) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which the personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, data controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the data controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Data Collection on Our Website Cookies

Our website uses some cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. They are used to make our offering more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser settings to inform you about the placement of cookies, allow cookies only in specific cases, exclude cookies for certain situations, or enable automatic cookie deletion when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies necessary for electronic communication or to provide specific functions you request (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of services. Other cookies (e.g., cookies used for analyzing your browsing behavior) are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of our website automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data will not be combined with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website, for which the server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provided in the contact form, including the contact details you provided, for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification to us will suffice for the revocation. The legality of the data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g., after completing the processing of your inquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiries via Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g., after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Comment Function on this Website

For the comment function on this page, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment was created, your email address, and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you selected will be stored.

Storage of IP Address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not check comments on our site before they are activated, we need this data in order to pursue legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribing to Comments

As a user of this website, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check if you are the owner of the provided email address. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the info emails. In this case, the data entered in connection with subscribing to comments will be deleted; however, if you have transmitted this data to us for other purposes and elsewhere (e.g., newsletter subscription), it will remain with us.

Storage Duration of Comments

The comments and the related data (e.g., IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).

Legal Basis

The storage of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification to us will suffice for the revocation. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Social Media Plugins with Shariff

Our website uses plugins from social media networks (e.g., Facebook, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn).

You can recognize the plugins by the respective social media logos. To protect your privacy on our website, we use these plugins only in conjunction with the “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the plugins integrated on our website from transmitting data to the respective provider when you first enter the page.

Only when you activate the respective plugin by clicking on the associated button will a direct connection to the provider’s server be established (consent). By activating the plugin, the provider receives information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged into your respective social media account (e.g., Facebook), the provider can assign the visit to our pages to your user account.

Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

Facebook Plugins (Like & Share Button)

Our website includes plugins from the social network Facebook, provider Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button (“Gefällt mir”) on our site. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US.

When you visit our pages, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages on your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate the visit to our pages with your user account. We point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. For more information, please see Facebook’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If you do not want Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your Facebook account, please log out of your Facebook account.

The use of Facebook plugins is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in being as visible as possible on social media.

Newsletter

With our newsletter, we provide you with information about us and our offers.

If you wish to receive the newsletter, we require a valid email address from you and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data solely for sending the requested newsletter and do not disclose it to third parties.

The processing of data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time. The revocation can be made via a link in the newsletters themselves, in your profile area, or by notifying us using the contact details provided above.

The newsletter is sent using “ActiveCampaign,” a newsletter distribution platform based in 1 N Dearborn, 5th Floor, Chicago, IL 60601, United States. The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in these notices, are stored on ActiveCampaign’s servers in the United States. ActiveCampaign uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, ActiveCampaign may use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g., for technical optimization of newsletter delivery and presentation, or for business purposes to determine from which countries recipients come. However, ActiveCampaign does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or pass the data on to third parties.

We rely on the reliability and IT and data security of ActiveCampaign. Furthermore, we have concluded a “data processing agreement” with ActiveCampaign. This is a contract in which ActiveCampaign commits to protecting the data of our users, processing it on our behalf according to its data protection provisions, and not disclosing it to third parties. You can view ActiveCampaign’s privacy policy here: [URL for ActiveCampaign’s privacy policy].

If you have any specific questions about the privacy policy or data protection, it’s advisable to consult a legal expert or the website’s data protection officer.

  1. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are referred to hereinafter as “Google.”

Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States.

Google Analytics is used exclusively on this website with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This extension ensures an anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal reference. With this extension, Google will truncate your IP address within the member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide the website operator with further services related to website and internet use (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of the use of the website, and the adaptation of the content. The interests of users are adequately protected by the pseudonymization.

Google LLC. is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user-identifiers (e.g., User-ID), or advertising-identifiers will be automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the website visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website.

The website of Marialuisaengels contains information, as required by law, that enables quick electronic contact with me as well as direct communication, including a general address for electronic mail (email address). If an individual contacts the data controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the individual will be automatically stored. Such voluntarily provided personal data by an individual to the data controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or responding to the individual’s contact. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.

Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data

The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as stipulated by the European legislator or another competent legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.

Once the purpose of storage is no longer applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

11. Legal Basis for Processing

coaching-engels relies on Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR as the legal basis for processing when obtaining consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract in which the data subject is a party, such as processing required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about my products or services.

If coaching-engels is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor in my company were to be injured and his name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would need to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In such a situation, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.

Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Processing on this legal basis is permissible for cases not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases when the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of my company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh such interests. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 of the GDPR)

Interessen pursued by the data controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, my legitimate interest is to conduct my business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all my employees and shareholders.

  1. Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of the period, the relevant data will be routinely deleted unless they are no longer necessary for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

  1. Legal or contractual provisions regarding the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

I inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (e.g., information about the contractual partner). Sometimes, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide me with personal data that must subsequently be processed by me. For example, the data subject may be obligated to provide me with personal data when my company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being concluded.

Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact me or one of my employees. I or my employee will individually inform the data subject whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.
