2. Privacy Policy (GDPR)

2.1 Introduction

We take the protection of your personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data when you visit our Thinkific page and use our online offers:

https://ninadrehergoeddertz.thinkific.com.

This Privacy Policy applies regardless of from which country you access our offers. For all data processing, we apply the law of the Federal Republic of Germany and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2.2 Data Controller and Contact

The data controller (“we”, “us”) is:

Nina Dreher-Goeddertz
Herrenweg 5
41541 Dormagen
Germany
Email: [email protected]

No data protection officer has been appointed, as the legal requirements for this are not met.

2.3 Categories of Data, Purposes and Legal Bases

We process the following categories of personal data for the purposes listed below. Unless otherwise stated, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests such as secure operation of the website and improvement of our services).

1. Website access and technical data

When you visit our website, the web server operated by our platform provider (Thinkific) automatically processes technical information, such as:

• IP address, date and time of access
• visited pages and content
• browser type and operating system
• referrer URL

We use this data to display the website, ensure stability and security and to defend against attacks. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

2. Account registration and course participation

When you create an account and book courses or workshops (including video-on-demand formats), we process in particular:

• name
• email address
• login data
• booked products, course progress and results
• billing and invoice data (without storing full payment card numbers on our systems)

We use this data to create and manage your user account, to provide access to purchased content and to fulfil our contractual obligations towards you. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

3. Payments

Payments are processed via external payment service providers (for example the payment providers integrated into Thinkific, such as Stripe or PayPal). The relevant payment provider is independently responsible for processing your payment data. We only receive the information that a payment has been made or failed, and, if applicable, a transaction ID. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

4. Communication and support

If you contact us by email or via contact options on the website, we process your contact details and the content of your enquiry in order to respond. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request relates to an existing or potential contract, otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in answering enquiries).

5. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we process your email address and, if provided, your name to send you information about new workshops, video courses, events and artistic projects.

We use a double opt-in procedure: After entering your data on the website you will receive an email in which you must confirm your subscription. Only after this confirmation is your subscription activated. We log the registration and confirmation (time, IP address, form content) in order to be able to prove your consent in line with legal requirements.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any newsletter email or by contacting us at the above email address. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

2.4 Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies (e.g. pixels, local storage) to provide essential functions and, with your consent, for statistics and marketing purposes.

1. Necessary cookies

These cookies are required to operate the website and provide basic functions such as login, course access and security settings. They are set on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and § 25(2) of the German Telecommunications and Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).

2. Statistics and marketing cookies

We also use optional cookies to analyse the use of our website and to display personalised content and advertising (for example via Google Analytics or Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel). These cookies are only set if you give your consent via the cookie banner or the settings provided by the platform. The legal basis is your consent according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by changing your settings in the cookie banner or in your browser. Please note that deactivating cookies may restrict the functionality of the website.

2.5 Google Analytics

If you consent, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to analyse how you use our website. The information generated about your use of this website may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation so that your IP address is shortened within the EU/EEA before being transmitted to the USA. On our behalf Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on website activity.

The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser or by installing the browser add-on provided by Google.

2.6 Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Pixel

If you consent, we use the Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel) from Meta Platforms to measure conversions and for retargeting. Meta may use this information to display personalised advertisements on Facebook, Instagram and other Meta services.

The Meta Pixel is only activated if you have consented to marketing cookies. The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time by changing your cookie settings.

For more information about how Meta processes personal data, please refer to Meta’s privacy policy on the relevant platforms.

2.7 YouTube Integration

Some of our pages or course materials may contain embedded videos from YouTube (Google LLC). When you play a YouTube video on our site, information such as your IP address and which page you visited may be transmitted to YouTube.

We only load YouTube content if you have consented to this via our cookie/banner settings. The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 TDDDG). If you are logged into your YouTube or Google account while visiting our site, YouTube may associate your browsing behaviour with your profile. You can prevent this by logging out before playing embedded videos.

2.8 Recipients and International Transfers

We do not sell your personal data. We only share data to the extent necessary with service providers who help us operate this website and fulfil contracts, for example:

• platform provider: Thinkific Labs Inc. (hosting, course platform)
• payment providers (for example, Stripe, PayPal)
• providers of analytics and marketing tools (for example, Google, Meta)

These service providers act either as independent controllers or as processors bound by our instructions in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. Where data is transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA (for example Canada or the USA), this is done on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission or standard contractual clauses, or other appropriate safeguards in accordance with Articles 44 et seq. GDPR.

2.9 Storage Periods

We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or as required by law.

• Contract and invoice data are generally stored for up to 10 years in accordance with statutory retention periods.
• Account data is stored for as long as your user account exists. If you request deletion, we will delete or anonymise your data unless legal retention periods require further storage.
• Newsletter data is stored until you withdraw your consent.
• Server log data is usually deleted automatically after a short period (for example 30 days), unless a longer storage is required for security or evidential reasons.

2.12 Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to adapt it to legal requirements or changes in our services. The current version is always available on this page. If we make material changes, we will inform you separately where appropriate.

3. Disclaimer

3.1 Content Responsibility

The content on this website, including all courses, videos, workshops and other materials, is created with great care and to the best of our knowledge. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that the information is complete, accurate or up to date in every case. Use of the content is at your own risk.

3.2 No Professional Advice

The information and content provided on this website is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute professional advice (for example legal, financial, medical or therapeutic advice) and cannot replace individual advice from qualified professionals. You are solely responsible for how you use the content.

3.3 External Links

Our website may contain links to external third-party websites. We have no influence on their content and do not adopt it as our own. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. At the time of linking, no illegal content was recognisable. However, a permanent monitoring of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. If we become aware of any legal infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

3.4 Limitation of Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health. In all other respects, liability for slightly negligent breaches of duty is excluded. This does not apply in cases of breach of essential contractual obligations (“cardinal obligations”); in such cases, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

3.5 Changes to this Disclaimer

We reserve the right to adapt this disclaimer at any time. The version published on this website at the time of your visit shall apply.
