2. General information about data processing

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as your name, email address, IP address and information about how you interact with this website or our emails.

We process personal data only where permitted by applicable data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on:

  • your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR;

  • the performance of a contract or steps taken before entering into a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR;

  • compliance with a legal obligation under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR; or

  • our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

3. Website hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by:

STRATO AG
Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7
10249 Berlin
Germany

When you visit the website, the hosting provider may automatically collect technical information in server log files. This information may include:

  • your IP address;

  • the date and time of access;

  • the page or file requested;

  • the referring website;

  • browser type and version;

  • operating system; and

  • access status or HTTP status code.

This processing is necessary to deliver the website, maintain its security and stability, investigate technical problems and prevent misuse.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are the secure, reliable and technically functional operation of the website.

Further information about STRATO’s data processing is available at:

https://www.strato.de/datenschutz/

4. Secure transmission

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption to protect information transmitted between your browser and the website. You can normally identify an encrypted connection by the padlock symbol in your browser and by the use of “https” in the website address.

Although we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, no method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

5. Cookies and consent management

This website may use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored on your device.

Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function. These may be used without consent where permitted by law.

Optional cookies and comparable technologies used for analytics or other non-essential purposes are activated only where the required consent has been obtained. The legal basis for storing or accessing information on your device is Section 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Where personal data is subsequently processed, the legal basis is generally Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the website’s cookie or privacy settings. You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking technically necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

6. Website analytics

Google Analytics 4

With your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a website analytics service provided by:

Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland

Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors find and use the website. Depending on the configuration and your consent choices, the following data may be processed:

  • pages visited;

  • approximate location;

  • date and time of visits;

  • referral source;

  • browser and device information;

  • operating system;

  • interactions with pages and links; and

  • technical identifiers.

Google Analytics is technically integrated through the TrueAna WordPress plugin. TrueAna allows analytics information from Google Analytics to be displayed within the WordPress administration area.

Google Consent Mode is used to communicate consent choices to Google. Google Analytics storage and measurement requiring consent are used only according to the choices made through the website’s consent mechanism.

The legal basis for analytics processing is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time through the website’s cookie or privacy settings.

Google may process data on servers outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where data is transferred internationally, Google states that it uses recognised transfer mechanisms and safeguards where required.

Further information is available at:

https://policies.google.com/privacy
https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/

You can also install Google’s browser add-on to prevent Google Analytics measurement:

7. Contacting us

If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we process the information you provide. This normally includes:

  • your name;

  • your email address;

  • the content of your message; and

  • any other information you choose to provide.

We use this information to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, to take steps requested by you before entering into a contract.

Depending on the nature of your enquiry, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is responding to enquiries and communicating with website visitors, podcast guests, partners and prospective clients.

Contact-form messages may be transmitted through the website’s configured email service. They are retained only for as long as necessary to respond to and document the enquiry, unless longer retention is required for contractual, accounting or legal reasons.

Please do not submit confidential health information or other sensitive personal data through the general contact form.

8. Google reCAPTCHA

Contact forms on this website may use Google reCAPTCHA to distinguish legitimate submissions from automated spam and abuse.

The service is provided by:

Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland

reCAPTCHA may process technical and behavioural information such as:

  • your IP address;

  • browser and device information;

  • operating system;

  • referring URL;

  • date and duration of the visit;

  • mouse movements, keyboard activity or other interaction data; and

  • cookies or similar identifiers.

We use reCAPTCHA to protect the website, its forms and associated systems from spam, automated attacks and misuse.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is maintaining the security and reliable operation of the website and its forms.

Google may process information outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Google states that it uses recognised transfer safeguards where required.

Further information is available at:

https://policies.google.com/privacy
https://policies.google.com/terms

If you prefer not to use a form protected by reCAPTCHA, you can contact us directly by email at claudia@wiredforsuccess.solutions.

9. Email list, free resources and newsletters

You may subscribe to our email list to receive free resources, podcast updates, practical insights, recommendations and occasional information about our products, services and partnerships.

When you subscribe, we process the information entered into the signup form, normally your email address and, where requested, your name. We may also process technical information required to document your subscription, including your IP address and the date and time of registration and confirmation.

Processing is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Subscription takes place using a double opt-in process. After registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. You will only be added to the active email list after completing this confirmation.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by using the unsubscribe link included in every marketing email or by contacting us at claudia@wiredforsuccess.solutions.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Email service provider

We currently use Sender to manage subscriptions, deliver free resources and send automated email sequences and newsletters.

The provider is:

UAB Sender.lt
Lvivo St. 25
Vilnius
Lithuania

Website: https://www.sender.net/

The personal data required to manage your subscription and deliver emails is processed by Sender on our behalf. Sender acts as a data processor.

According to Sender, the service supports EU data residency and GDPR-compliant processing.

Further information about Sender’s handling of personal data is available at:

https://www.sender.net/privacy-policy/

If we replace Sender with another email service provider, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

Email measurement

Where enabled and covered by your consent, emails may contain technologies that allow us to determine whether an email was delivered or opened and which links were selected.

We use this information to understand which content is useful to subscribers and to improve future emails.

The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can end this processing by withdrawing your consent or unsubscribing from the email list. Depending on your email program, disabling the automatic loading of external images may also prevent some forms of measurement.

Storage of subscriber information

Subscriber information is generally stored for as long as you remain subscribed.

After you unsubscribe, your information will be removed from active email distribution. Information required to document consent or comply with legal obligations may be retained for the applicable statutory period.

Your email address may also be retained in a suppression list where necessary to ensure that no further marketing emails are sent to you.

10. Affiliate links and commercial recommendations

Some pages, free resources, emails or articles may contain affiliate links. If you follow an affiliate link and subsequently make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the relevant provider. This does not normally increase the price you pay.

Affiliate links will be identified where required. We only recommend products or services that we consider relevant to our audience, but the decision to use or purchase a third-party product remains yours.

When you select an affiliate link, you leave our website or are directed to a third-party service. That provider may process information such as your IP address, browser data, referral information and details of any subsequent transaction. The provider may use cookies or similar technologies to attribute the referral.

The third-party provider is responsible for its own processing activities. Please review its privacy information and cookie settings before using the service.

Where affiliate tracking technologies are placed directly on this website and require consent, they will be activated only after the necessary consent has been obtained.

11. Links to podcast, social-media and third-party platforms

This website contains links to external services such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram and other podcast, social-media or business platforms.

A connection to the external service is generally established only when you select the relevant link. The provider may then receive your IP address, browser information and the information that you accessed its service from this website.

If you are logged into an account with the external provider, the provider may associate your visit with that account.

These providers process personal data under their own responsibility and according to their own privacy policies. We have no control over how third-party platforms process your data.

12. External checkout, course and payment services

Products, courses or other paid services may be offered through external checkout or course platforms, including ThriveCart.

When you follow a link to an external checkout page, the operator of that service may collect the information required to process your order. This may include:

  • your name;

  • contact details;

  • billing information;

  • product and transaction details;

  • IP address; and

  • payment information.

Payment information is processed by the payment method or payment provider selected during checkout. We do not receive complete credit-card or bank-account details from these providers.

The relevant checkout and payment providers are responsible for providing information about their processing activities on their respective websites. The processing required to complete a purchase is generally based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Statutory accounting and retention obligations are based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

13. Comments

Where comments are enabled on articles or podcast pages, we process the information submitted with the comment. This may include your name, email address, comment, IP address and the date and time of submission.

The information is processed to display and administer comments, prevent spam and respond to unlawful or abusive content.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are enabling discussion, preventing misuse and protecting our legal rights.

Comments may remain visible until the relevant content or comment is removed. Technical information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to prevent abuse or handle legal claims.

14. Retention of personal data

Unless a specific retention period is stated elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Data may be retained for longer where required by tax, commercial or other legal obligations, or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

When the relevant purpose and any mandatory retention periods have ended, the data will be deleted or anonymised.

15. Recipients of personal data

We disclose personal data only where necessary and legally permitted.

Recipients may include:

  • hosting and technical service providers;

  • email and communications providers;

  • analytics providers, where consent has been given;

  • checkout and payment providers;

  • professional advisers; and

  • public authorities where disclosure is legally required.

Service providers acting on our instructions are engaged as processors where required under Article 28 GDPR.

We do not sell personal data.

16. International data transfers

Some service providers may process information outside Germany or the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred to a country for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, we use or rely on legally recognised safeguards where required. These may include the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and additional technical or organisational safeguards.

Specific information about possible international transfers is provided in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

17. Your data-protection rights

Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have the right to:

  • request access to your personal data under Article 15 GDPR;

  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data under Article 16 GDPR;

  • request deletion of your personal data under Article 17 GDPR;

  • request restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR;

  • receive data you provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format under Article 20 GDPR;

  • object to processing based on legitimate interests under Article 21 GDPR; and

  • withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.

If processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. If personal data is processed for direct marketing, you may object to that processing at any time without providing special grounds.

To exercise your rights, contact:

claudia@wiredforsuccess.solutions

We may need to request information necessary to verify your identity before completing a request.

18. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable data-protection law.

The supervisory authority responsible for private organisations based in Bavaria is:

Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision
Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht
Promenade 18
91522 Ansbach
Germany

Website: https://www.lda.bayern.de/

You may also contact the supervisory authority in the EU member state of your habitual residence or place of work.

19. Automated decision-making

We do not use personal data collected through this website to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning you.

20. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, the services used or the applicable legal requirements change.
