Thank you for your interest. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide you with detailed information about how we handle your data.


1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a page is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred, and the requesting provider. These access data are evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our services. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, in the correct presentation of our services pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f GDPR.


2. Data processing for service delivery and contact

2.1 Booking and coaching engagements

For the purpose of providing our coaching services and handling the associated contractual relationship (including scheduling, session delivery, and follow-up communication) pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. b GDPR, we collect personal data where you voluntarily provide it when booking a session or inquiry call (e.g. via a booking tool such as Calendly, or a contact form). Mandatory fields are marked as such. Which data are collected is visible from the respective input forms.

After the contractual relationship has concluded, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted upon expiry of the applicable retention periods under tax and commercial law pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. a GDPR or we are otherwise entitled to retain the data on a legal basis described in this policy.

2.2 Contact inquiries

When you contact us (e.g. via the contact form, email, or WhatsApp), we collect the personal data you voluntarily provide in order to process your inquiry pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. b GDPR. Mandatory fields are marked as such. After your inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be deleted, unless you have expressly consented to further use or we are otherwise entitled to retain it on a legal basis described in this policy.


3. Payment processing

We use Stripe for payment processing. When you make a payment, the data necessary to complete the transaction (such as name, email address, and payment details) are processed by Stripe, Inc., 510 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA, or its European entity Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland. This serves to perform the contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Stripe may also process data for the purpose of fraud prevention and secure transaction handling, which represents a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f GDPR. Payment data is processed directly by Stripe; we do not store full payment card details on our systems. For further information, please refer to Stripe’s privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.


4. Cookies and other technologies

4.2 Consent Manager Platform (CMP)

We use a Consent Manager Platform (CMP) provided by Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark, to inform you about the technologies used on our website and to obtain, manage, and document your consent where required. This fulfills our legal obligation under Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR to demonstrate consent, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. c GDPR.

When you submit your cookie declaration, the following data are stored: IP address, device and browser information, language setting, URL, date and time of the declaration, and your consent choices.

5. Social media

5.1 Social buttons (Facebook/Meta, Instagram/Meta, WhatsApp)

Social buttons on our website are integrated as simple HTML links. No connection to the servers of the respective provider is established when our website is loaded. A connection is only made if you actively click a button, at which point the respective platform’s website opens in a new browser window.

5.2 Our online presence on Instagram (by Meta) and Facebook (by Meta)

Where you have given your consent to the respective social media operator pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. a GDPR, your data may be collected and stored automatically when you visit our profiles, and usage profiles may be created using pseudonyms for market research and advertising purposes.

Facebook and Instagram are services of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Block J, Serpentine Avenue, Dublin 4, Ireland. Data collected may be transferred to and stored on servers of Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. Visits to our pages on these platforms are subject to joint controllership agreements pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. The adequacy decision for the USA applies insofar as the service provider is certified. For countries without an adequacy decision (e.g. Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil), the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses apply. Please refer to Meta’s privacy policy for further detail.
