The following gives a simple overview of what happens to your personal information when you visit our website. Personal information is any data with which you could be personally identified.

Who is responsible for the data collection on this website? The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the Imprint of this website.

How do we collect your data? Some data is collected when you provide it to us. This could, for example, be data you enter on a contact form or a comment field. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This data is primarily technical data such as the browser and operating system you are using or when you accessed the page.

2. Hosting

Static Hosting

This website is hosted as a static site. The provider - Static Host EU - automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract. You can find out more about Static Host EU’s privacy policy on their website.

Paddle (Payment Processing)

When you purchase a course module or bundle on this website, your payment is processed by Paddle.com Market Limited (“Paddle”), who act as the Merchant of Record. Paddle collects and processes the following data on our behalf:

Paddle processes this data to:

  • Complete your purchase and issue invoices/receipts

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (performance of a contract). You can review Paddle’s Privacy Policy for full details on how they handle your data.

After a successful purchase, Paddle shares your email address and transaction details with us so we can grant you access to the purchased course content.
