E-mail: nicole@nicolelinke.com

We are the controller for the data processing both within the meaning of the GDPR and the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revDSG).

Users‘ Rights - Information

You may request us anytime to provide information about the personal data stored about you free of charge. To avoid misuse, this will require personal identification.

Inventory Data

We collect inventory data as far as it is necessary to establish, negotiate or amend a contract (including one without remuneration) between us and the user.

This can be: customer data (for example name, address), contact data (for example e-mail address, phone number), service data (for example services ordered, duration, payment).

Upon establishing the user relationship, we will ask you for this data (for example name, address and e-mail address) and will also tell you which of the information is required to establish the user relationship.

Usage Data

When you access our website, usage data is generated that is technically necessary to deliver the site, as well as usage data that we collect to evaluate the use of our website. This may include: details of the access (e.g. pages opened, time and duration of the visit), content data (e.g. data, text or images you enter or upload) and technical details (e.g. browser, device, IP address).

We only compile usage data for evaluation pseudonymously.

Insofar as information is stored on or read from your device for this purpose (e.g. by cookies or analytics scripts), this is done only with your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you may withdraw at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings.

Otherwise, the legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR in evaluating and improving our website; you may object to this processing at any time.

Details of the services used can be found in the respective sections of this policy.

Hoster

Siteground

Our Website is presented in the Internet by a service provider.

We use the service of SiteGround Spain S.L., C/ Serrano 1, 5º, 28001 Madrid, Spain.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with our provider.

With this contract, our provider is obliged to process the data according to our instructions.

You can find more information on data processing at our provider in his privacy policy at https://www.siteground.com/terms.htm.

The legal basis for this data processing is on the one hand our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimization in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, and, on the other hand, our contractual or pre-contractual legal relationship in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.

Each time this website is used, our provider processes information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits automatically whenever a website is accessed. This data consists of:

your IP address
type and version of your browser
host name
time of visit
the page from which you came to our page
name of the page opened
exact time of usage as well as
the amount of data transferred

This data is processed in order to deliver the website, to ensure its secure and trouble-free operation and to analyse errors; this includes detecting and warding off attacks and abusive access. We do not evaluate the log files in order to identify you personally; they are attributed to a person only where this is necessary to investigate an attack or a malfunction. The log files are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for these purposes; they are retained for longer only insofar as a security incident needs to be investigated.“

Insofar as we send you advertising by email, we do so only with your consent or – for our own similar offers to existing customers – insofar as the law permits this without consent. You may object to the use of your email address for advertising at any time.

Storage Period

Generally, your data will only remain stored as long as required by the purpose of the respective data processing. Storage beyond that is possible in particular if it is still required for pursuing our rights or for other legitimate interests of ours.

For your inventory data which were necessary to perform a contract (including one without remuneration), this means that we store this data until the complete performance or termination of the contractual relationship plus the statutory limitation periods plus an adequate extra time for potential interruptions of the limitation period.

For your usage data which was collected in the course of your use of the website, this means that we will store it only for the time still required for the proper functionality and the security of our website and as long as we still have a legitimate interest. Statistical information will be primarily stored by us in pseudonymous form.

Beyond that, we still store your data for as long as we are required to do so by law. This concerns in particular commercial and tax-law retention obligations; in this respect, we store your data for their duration.

Cookies

Cookies and consent

In addition to technically necessary cookies, our website also uses cookies and comparable technologies that are not strictly necessary — for example for statistics, reach measurement, marketing or the integration of external content. We only use these if you have consented beforehand. We obtain your consent through a cookie notice (cookie banner) before any such cookies are set.

You can withdraw or adjust your consent at any time with effect for the future — through the cookie settings on our website. Which cookies are used in detail, what purpose they serve and how long they are stored can be seen in the cookie settings or in the cookie notice.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future: Revoke consents.

Independently of this, you can also control the storage of cookies through your browser: you can block cookies entirely or in individual cases and delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. The manufacturers of common browsers explain how to do this:

If you block cookies completely, this may limit the functionality of our website and other websites. Information on advertising cookies from third-party providers and how you can manage them can be found at www.youronlinechoices.eu.

In Switzerland, the storage of or access to information on your terminal equipment is governed by Art. 45c FMG.

Transfer of data

Transfer to Third Parties

We dislike spam as much as you do. We will therefore not transfer your data to third parties, unless permitted by law.

Transfer of customer data may either

be required for the performance of a contract and in that case be permitted according to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR, or
be permitted based on our legitimate interest in an effective service structure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, or
covered by your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, or
become necessary if we will be legitimately asked by a government or an agency to hand over your data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (c) GDPR.

If your data are transferred to third parties, this is mentioned in this privacy policy.

Transfer to other countries, particularly USA

Insofar as we transfer personal data to countries outside the European Union, in particular the USA, in accordance with the provisions set out below, we will only carry out such a transfer where an adequate level of data protection, appropriate safeguards or your consent, and thus a transfer permitted under the GDPR, is in place.

Users‘ Rights

You may request us anytime to provide information about the personal data stored about you free of charge. To avoid misuse, this will require personal identification.

Insofar as the revDSG applies, you are entitled to the corresponding rights – in particular to information (Art. 25 revDSG), to rectification, erasure and restriction (Art. 32 revDSG) as well as to release and portability of your data (Art. 28 revDSG).

Deletion, Correction, Limitation

You may at any time demand from us that we correct (or complete) incorrect data as well as a limitation of the processing of data or deletion of your data. This applies in particular if the reason for processing the data is no longer valid, if a required consent has been revoked and there is no other legal basis or if our data processing is unlawful. We will then correct, block or even delete your personal data without delay as far as permitted by law.

Objection

The right to object to advertisement is governed by our text regarding consent:

Regarding any consent, you have the right to revoke any consent given to us for the processing of your personal data at any time.

You just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement, for example by e-mail to the address given in our legal notice or – where we offer this – via a contact form or an unsubscribe link.

Your withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.

Data Transfer

Subject to the conditions of Art. 20 GDPR, you may request that we provide you with the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or – where technically feasible – transmit it to another controller.

Complaint

If you feel that our data processing has violated any of your rights, you may file a complaint with the competent regulatory agency (here you find a list of the agencies).

If you are located in Switzerland, you may also contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern (edoeb.admin.ch).

Consent

Whenever we ask you for your consent for the processing of your data, we will inform you in clear language and in an easily accessible way about the cases for which you will be granting your consent. Any consent that we ask you for is voluntary.

Regarding any consent, you have the right to revoke any consent given to us for the processing of your personal data at any time. You just need to contact us without any particular formal requirement, for example by e-mail to the address given in our legal notice or – where we offer this – via a contact form or an unsubscribe link. Your withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

If and when factual or legal reasons will compel us to amend the Privacy Policy, we will update this page accordingly. This will not change the consent provided by the user.

Data Entry

Encryption of Data Entry

When you enter data on our website, whether in a contact form, during the registration process, when you log in or for payment purposes, the website, where you enter the data, is encrypted. Thus, third parties can not read what you enter. You will recognise the encryption by the lock symbol in your browser and by the URL beginning with “https“ instead of “http“.

Contact Forms

General contact form

When you fill out a contact form or when you send us an e-mail or another electronic message, your information will be stored for the processing of the request, for possible follow-up questions or for other related questions and will only be used to follow up with the request.

Your data will be transferred in an encrypted manner, preventing third parties from reading your data while it is being entered.

Basis for this storage is the safeguarding of our legitimate interests in regard to communication with interested users pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and in the case of inquiries prior to entering into a contract also the performance of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para (b) GDPR.

Your data remains stored for as long as the processing of the request requires, in particular as long as the storage is still necessary to perform the contract, to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or we are compelled by law to keep your data stored (for example based on tax-law requirements to maintain files).

Registration

If you register on our website, we will ask for compulsory and potentially also non-compulsory data in accordance with our registration form for the purposes listed hereinafter.

Your data will be entered in an encrypted manner, so that third parties cannot read your data while being entered.

The legal basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communication with interested users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR and also the storage of contractual data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR in case of contracts, including non-remunerated ones.

Your data will remain stored for as long as you remain registered, particularly as long as the storage is still required to perform the contract, to pursue our rights or for our other legitimate interests or for as long as we are required by law to store your data (for example pursuant to tax-law requirements to store documents).

Webinar

If you register for a webinar, we will ask for your e-mail address and your first name, because we like to address you personally. We will only use your data to inform you about the implementation of the webinar as well as possibly about information which is necessary for the webinar to be carried out (for example change of date, participation requirements, technical details) and materials (like slides, content information). Your data will be deleted after the completion of the webinar.

Membership Area

If you register for our membership area, we will ask for data in accordance with our registration form, because we do not permit the anonymous use of our services. We will only use your data to provide you with the information necessary for using the membership area (news, news in the membership area and technical information).

Membership Area Exchange

You can register in our Member's Area to engage in conversation with our other customers. We will ask for your data according to our registration form to allow us to present you to our other customers.

Once you have logged out from the membership area, your entries there will remain, even if you deregister. If you do not want this to happen, you can contact the e-mail address listed in the “About Us” section below and request that these entries will be deleted. We will then also delete the entries.

Course Registration

If you register for a course, we will ask for your data according to the registration form, because we like to address you personally. We will only use your data to inform you about the implementation of the course as well as possibly about information which is necessary for the course to be carried out (for example change of date, participation requirements, technical details) and materials (like slides, content information).

MailPoet

If you subscribe to the newsletter offered on our page, we will inform you in detail about the information we will send you, which of your data will be stored and for what it will be used. We will not pass on your data to third parties and we will only use it for mailing the newsletter.

We will only mail you the newsletter if you have provided us with prior consent. To that purpose, you will receive an e-mail from us with a link and further details and we will ask for your consent. By confirming that link, you declare your consent to receive the newsletter and advertisement from us.

Because we are legally required to record your consent as part of the double opt-in, your subscription to the newsletter, the mailing of our consent e-mail and your consent by clicking on the link will be recorded and stored with location and time as well as with your IP address.

The basis for the storage is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR, which you grant us when you register for the newsletter. You may withdraw that consent at any time, for which any notice to us, without any formal requirement, is sufficient (for example through the contact form or by e-mail or by using the link to unsubscribe, which is included in each e-mail). This withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.

When mailing the newsletter, we use (as part of our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect processing of our customer data and analysis pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR) the provider MailPoet of Automaticc, Inc. (60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, California 94110) from the USA. This means that your data will be exported to the USA.

In our newsletter, we will also ask you explicitly to provide your consent to forwarding your data to MailPoet and to the USA. By clicking on the link, you express your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

Regarding the handling of your data by MailPoet, we refer you to the privacy policy of MailPoet.

MailPoet will only use your data when mailing the newsletter and they will analyse that mailing on our behalf.

In addition, MailPoet will only use your data to improve its own service.

MailPoet will not use the data to contact you directly or to pass on your data to third parties.

The mails used by MailPoet include a "web beacon", which will inform MailPoet about the opening of the newsletter and/or the clicking on a link contained therein by you. As part of that process, information regarding your browser, your location and your IP address will be transmitted to MailPoet. This information will be used to optimise our communication with you.

Our newsletter provider will also use this data for purposes of analysis and optimisation of their own service, but only in pseudonymised form (meaning that your identification is not possible). But your data will not be used by the provider to contact you directly.

Your data remain stored as long as you are in our mailing list, as long as the storing is necessary to protect our rights or for other legitimate interests or if we are bound by law to keep your data longer.

Social Media

Social Media Plugins

General information

Social media plugins normally lead to the IP address of each visitor to a page being collected by theses services immediately and the users having their subsequent browsing history recorded. This may even happen if you do not click on the button.

To prevent this, we use the Shariff method. Thus, our social media buttons only establish the direct contact between the social network and you only once you click on the respective share button. If you are already registered with a social network, Facebook and Google+ do not require a new window for this. Twitter will show a pop-up window, in which you can still edit the text of the tweet.

Thus, you can publish our content in social networks without them being able to put together complete browsing profiles. The Shariff method is already being used by many websites in order to protect their users.

But, at the latest, when you follow the link to the social media site, your data will be broadcasted to that site.

The social media site will normally store a cookie in your browser and to your account information there, especially, if you are logged into your social media account on the site.

The social media site can analyse your use of the platform and your browsing habits and will use these for targeting advertisements based on your interests.

That can lead to ads being shown to you when browsing in- and outside of the social media site.

Please inform yourself about the use of your data on these sites and use them only, when you agree to that use of your data, that happens on that social media site, in particular, when you are not using that social media site for the first time.

We have added links to all the privacy policies of the social media site for your information.

This makes the data transfer to the USA legally secure based on the adequacy decision concluded on July 10, 2023.

Google uses a pseudonymous number for each user of our website.

Pseudonym means that neither name nor e-mail address nor other data that clearly identifies the user are used.

The number is then used to analyse how the individual user uses our online offering.

The date and time of use as well as page views, scrolls to the end of the page, clicks on external links, website searches, viewing of an embedded YouTube video and file downloads are also analysed.

Google may transfer the collected data to countries outside of the EU, in particular to the USA. We have concluded a data-processing agreement with Google, according to which Google will only process your information in accordance with our instructions.

E-Commerce Platforms

Video conferences and online meetings (Zoom)

For video conferences, webinars and online meetings we use the service "Zoom". The provider is Zoom Communications, Inc., 55 Almaden Boulevard, 6th Floor, San Jose, CA 95113, USA.

When you take part in a meeting or webinar, Zoom processes the data required for this purpose — in particular your (display) name, your email address, information about your device and your connection and, depending on your selection and the features of the meeting, audio, video and chat content.

This processing serves to enable the meeting you wish to attend.

Where we ask you separately for your consent — for example for a recording — we process the data concerned solely on that basis; you may withdraw any consent given at any time with effect for the future.

In this context, data may be transferred to Zoom in the USA. An appropriate basis for this exists: the European Commission has determined that accordingly certified companies in the USA ensure an adequate level of data protection; Zoom is certified accordingly. In addition, contractual safeguards are in place to protect your data.

Based on our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, we use the security plugin sucuri provided by GoDaddy Media Temple Inc., 12655 W Jefferson Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90066, United States, to prevent attacks on our website.

Login attempts, logout requests, requests for suspicious URLs, changes to the content of the site and password updates are recorded by the plugin and stored for 30 days in order to block massive requests and attacks on our website.

Information about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be sent to a server of our security plugin in the USA.

However, we have ensured that your data is only transferred to the USA on the basis of a contract in accordance with the standard contractual clauses. According to the GDPR and the EuGH, this is a legal basis for the transfer of data to the USA. This applies in particular since the US Presidential Decree of 07.10.2022.

You can find more information about the use of your data by our security plugin in the privacy policy our security plugin: https://sucuri.net/privacy/

Our security plugin cannot be blocked, because that would remove the protection of our website.

Payment providers

PayPal

If you choose one of the payment options of our partner PayPal, provided by PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, the data entered by you when ordering will be sent to PayPal in order to facilitate the contractual payment.

Detailed information about this can be found in the privacy policy of PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full?locale.x=de_DE

The legal basis for passing on your data to PayPal is primarily the processing of your contractual data according to Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR as well as our legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.

Partnerprograms

On our website, we link to products via affiliate programmes (e.g. Digistore24). If you click on such a link, the respective provider can use a cookie to track that the recommendation came from us — so that a commission can be correctly attributed. Where consent is required, these cookies are only set with your consent.

Our Social Media Fan Page(s) - General Information

Beside our website, we also use fan page(s) on social media platforms.

Above, we have already informed you about the data processing on our website and we have in particular made sure that the fact alone that you access our website is not yet forwarded to the social media platform.

Following the ECJ ruling dated 5 June 2018 about social media presences, we want to inform you about the data processing during your visit to our social media fan page(s):

On the basis of our legitimate interest in a timely customer communication pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR as well as for advertising and public relations purposes, we present ourselves and our offers on social media fan page(s).

Our social media fan page(s) usually can be accessed online independently of you having a user account with the relevant platform or not. But in either case, your data will be processed by the social media platform.

Each time the social media platform is accessed, your IP address will be collected and stored. Usually, a cookie will also be placed on your page, which will save your visit and further data about your visit to the social media platform.

If you are logged in with the social media platform, your visit will also be spotted by a cookie or through other technological means and will be attributed to your user account.

Thus, the social media platform is usually able to analyse your user behaviour.

In this process, a user profile with your interests is generated, which the social media platform will use to provide you with a user experience tailored to your interests, in particular advertisement tailored to your interests within and outside of the social media platform – even across different devices, if applicable.

Your data may also be used for market research.

For the details, we refer you to the following privacy policies of the social media platform(s) used by us.

We can usually also use the data of the social media platform in order to allow you to use our fan page in accordance with your interests or to approach you with advertising.

When you interact with our fan page and if you are logged in with the relevant social media platform, according to the social media page's terms of use, we can usually also recognise your user profile and see your content.

If you do not want this, we point you to our explanations about cookies above, with general information about cookies and their deactivation. There, we have laid out in general terms how you can prevent or limit cookies being stored on your devices. Further information about the respective social media platform can be found hereinafter.

According to the aforementioned ECJ ruling dated 5 June 2018, we are always jointly responsible for our social media fan page(s) together with the relevant social media platform.

This means that you may also exercise your general rights, which we have listed in detail above under the heading “Users' Rights”, against us. To that purpose, we refer you to our contact details at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

Please keep in mind, though, that we have no conclusive knowledge of the exact scope of the processing of your data by the social media platform and have even less influence on it. Therefore, we kindly ask you to contact the relevant social media platform in the first place regarding your rights.

We generally leave your data on the social media platform and do not import it onto our server. But if that should occur, our general information regarding the storage period will apply.

Further information about the processing of your data and the storage period on the social media platform can be found in the respective privacy policy of the social media platform, which we have listed hereinafter.

Privacy Policy Social Media Fanpage(s)

Responsible Authority

We are happy that you are visiting our fan page. First of all, we want to introduce ourselves as in the legal notice as the responsible authority, together with the social media platform mentioned below, within the meaning of data protection law and inform you about the processing of your personal data
In line with our statutory obligations, we want to inform you about the collection and processing of your personal data.

Cookies

Based on its legitimate interest in a technologically perfect online offering and its design and optimisation in an economically efficient manner pursuant to Art.6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, the social media platform uses cookies, so that its offer can be used better, more effectively and more securely. Cookies are text files, which are stored on your computer and which save certain data about your user behaviour in your browser, so that, for example, an offer can be made to you based on your previous usage. These can be so-called “session cookies”, which will be automatically deleted at the end of your visit to the social media platform. But there are also cookies that will be stored on your computer permanently, unless you delete them. This allows the social media platform to recognise your browser the next time you access the website and to present offers which will correspond to your previous use of this website.

Your browser allows you to disable cookies in general or in specific cases. Please refer to the user manual of your browser for further details. Blocking cookies may limit the functionality of our and other websites that you visit.

You can permanently prevent the storage of cookies in your browser by downloading and installing the plugin linked to hereinafter. You find more information here.

You can also prevent the use of cookies by third-party providers by declaring your opt-out on the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative, following the instructions there. You find more information here. The same offer can be found on this US-American website.

The social media platform may be registered outside of the EU. This means that it is possible that your data will be stored and processed outside of the EU, in particular through cookies, active Java scripts and other technologies. However, we only have fan pages with providers from third countries, for which the EU Commission has determined a similar level of data protection as within the EU or for which you have provided your informed consent or for which we have agreed a standard contract with the provider in order to protect your data.

Users’ Rights

According to the ECJ ruling dated 5 June 2018, we are always jointly responsible for our social media fan page(s) together with the respective social media platform. This means that you may also exercise your general rights, as subsequently described, against us. To that purpose, we refer you to our contact details at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. Please keep in mind, though, that we have no conclusive knowledge of the exact scope of the processing of your data by the social media platform and have even less influence on it. Therefore, we kindly ask you to contact the relevant social media platform in the first place regarding your rights.

Information

You may at any time and without any cost demand information about the personal data stored about you from us and from the social media platform. To avoid misuse, it will be necessary that you identify yourself.

Deletion, Correction, Limitation

You may at any time request from us and from the social media platform correction (also by adding more information) of incorrect data as well as limitation of its processing or even deletion of your data. This applies in particular if the purpose for processing has expired, if a required consent has been withdrawn and if there is no other legal basis or if our data processing is illegal. We will then correct, block or even delete your personal data without delay and within the statutory framework.

Objection

At any time, you have the right to withdraw the consent to the processing of your personal data which you previously granted to us or to the social media platform. This notice may be sent without any formal requirement, for example through our contact form, an e-mail to the address mentioned in the “About Us” section or by clicking on the unsubscribe link (if provided by us or the social media platform). Your withdrawal has no effect on the legality of the data processing carried out up to that point.

Transfer of Data

You may request the transfer of all data stored about you from us or from the social media platform in a machine-readable format.

Complaint

If you feel that the data processing by the social media platform or by us infringes any of your rights, you may contact the competent regulatory body (here you find a list of the relevant authorities) and file a complaint.

Storage Period

We generally leave your data on the social media platform and do not import it onto our server. But if that should occur, your data will generally only remain stored with us for as long as required by the purpose of the respective data processing. A longer storage period is possible if it is still necessary for us to enforce our rights or for other legitimate interests or if we are bound by law to keep your data longer (for example according to tax-law requirements to keep documents for a time frame between 6 and 10 years).

Further information about the processing of your data and the storage period on the social media platform can be found in the respective privacy policy of the social media platform, which we have listed hereinafter.
