Personal data we collect

We collect personal data, as appropriate, when you browse our website, subscribe to our newsletter, make inquiries through the contact form, contact us by email or place an order for any of the products we offer.

We retain information that we collect from you (including your personal data) only for as long as we need it for legal, business, or tax purposes. Your information may be retained in electronic form, paper form, or a combination of both. When your information is no longer needed, we will destroy, delete, or erase it.

You can update your personal data using services found on our website. If no such services exist, you can contact us using the contact information found at the bottom of this privacy notice and we will help you. However, we may keep your personal data as needed to enforce our agreements and to comply with any legal obligations.

Automatic information

We automatically receive information from your web browser or mobile device. This information is stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our Website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our Website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our Website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and Website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, we analyze anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Placing an order

We use SendOwl as our e-commerce platform to sell services and digital goods. All orders are processed via SendOwl, who acts as “the processor”.

When you place an order, personal data (such as your name, email address, billing address, IP address, business name, VAT number, PayPal email, payment method, credit card type and last 4 digits) may be collected for the purpose of fulfilling that order, managing our customer relationship with you, calculating the correct VAT amount to be applied and processing invoices as required by law.

We do not store your payment information on our servers. Your payment information is securely communicated to and processed by SendOwl and the payment processor (PayPal or Stripe) you choose, at your own discretion, at checkout. You should review the Privacy Policy of each processor to determine how they use, disclose and protect your financial data. SendOwl Privacy Policy can be found here, PayPal Privacy Policy can be found here and Stripe Privacy Policy can be found here.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with the product or service you purchased, to resolve disputes, and comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. By law, we have to keep customer invoices (including all data present on an invoice, like name, email address, billing address, company name, VAT number, etc.) for 5 years for tax purposes.

For non-VAT registered EU customers who purchase digital goods from us, we also need to keep two pieces of evidence that demonstrate the right amount of tax was charged. To do this, three bits of information are retained: the country you selected at checkout, the country of your bank, and the country your IP resolves to.

Subscription to our periodic newsletters and freebie delivery

We use MailerLite as our email marketing automation platform. We use MailerLite to manage our email marketing subscriber list and to send emails to our subscribers. MailerLite is a third-party provider, which may process your data using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our newsletter. All newsletter signups, delivery of freebies, subscriber management, and sending of periodic emails are processed via MailerLite, who acts as “the processor”. When you subscribe via one of the subscription forms on this Website, you acknowledge that the information you provide will be transferred to MailerLite for processing in accordance with their Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We do not store subscriber personal data on our servers.

We regularly inform our subscribers, customers and business partners about tips, tools, resources, paid offers, updates, news about upcoming events, etc by means of a newsletter. The periodic newsletters and emails may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter and promotional emails. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered by a data subject, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure.

During the registration for the periodic newsletters and freebie delivery, MailerLite also stores the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date, and it, therefore, serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter and promotional emails. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances.

Our newsletter and periodic emails contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such emails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, we may see if and when an email was opened by a data subject, and which links in the email were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters and promotional emails are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the delivery of the newsletter and promotional emails, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters and promotional emails even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. We automatically regard a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

We do not sell, transfer or disclose the personal data collected by the newsletter service to any other companies or third parties. However, you might receive third party information and offers related, but not limited, to affiliate partner products and services, through our newsletter and promotional emails.

You can terminate the subscription to our newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link present in the footer of every email newsletter or promotional email we send you.

We keep your information until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion or until we decide the cost of keeping it outweighs the benefits.

We have built our website using industry-standard security measures and authentication tools (we use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to encrypt data) to protect the security of your personal data. We and the third parties who provide services for us, also maintain technical and physical safeguards to protect your personal data. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed.

Email communications

All personal data you provide when you sign up for our newsletter is processed through a processor and is not stored on our servers. You can always opt out of receiving further email correspondence from us.

Payment information

You may have to provide a credit card or your PayPal email to buy products and services from our website. We use third-party billing services and have no control over these services. We use our commercially reasonable efforts to make sure your credit card number is kept strictly confidential by using only third-party billing services that use industry-standard encryption technology to protect your credit card number from unauthorized use. However, you understand and agree that we are in no way responsible for any misuse of your payment information.

Our company relies on derogations for specific situations as defined in Article 49 of the GDPR. For European Union customers and users, with your consent, your personal data may be transferred outside the European Union to the United States and/or other countries. We will use your personal data to provide the goods, services, and/or information you request from us to perform a contract with you or to satisfy a legitimate interest of our company in a manner that does not outweigh your freedoms and rights. Wherever we transfer, process or store your personal data, we will take reasonable steps to protect it. We will use the information we collect from you in accordance with our privacy notice. By using our Website, services, or products, you agree to the transfers of your personal data described within this section.
