By using this Site and/or Service, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right, and you authorize us, to use information regarding your use of this Site and Service, and any other personal information provided by you in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a user shall in principle always aim to be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable. By means of this data protection declaration, this Service and Site hereby informs prospective users, as well as the general public, of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, users are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

The use our website is possible without providing us with of any of your personal information; however, if a user wants to make use of any of our services and / or products via our website, processing of personal data will become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the user.  

When you choose to schedule a service or order a product we will collect only basic personal information, such as your name, mailing address, phone number and / or email address. When you visit our website we may also collect non-personal information, such as your IP Address. The IP address reveals nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We may also collect information about the type of Internet browser you are using, operating system, as well as which of our webpages you have accessed. We only collect personal information from you when you provide it to us. For example, if you schedule a consultation, we may collect your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. If you communicate with us regarding our website or our services, we will collect any information that you provide to us in any such communication. We further reserve the right to record all readings and consultations conducted by phone or via the Internet for internal record-keeping and legal protection purposes.

 

Data Protection

 

This Service and Site has to the best of its ability implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us. We are obligated to protect your personal information by making reasonable security arrangements against such risks as unauthorized access, use, collection, disclosure or disposal. Security measures have been integrated into our day-to-day operating practices as part of our commitment to protect the personal information it holds. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is unfailingly secure. Therefore, while we use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We will only disclose your personal information and/or an IP address to a third party when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law; to comply with legal process served on us; to protect and defend our rights or property; or to identify persons who may be violating the law, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing this Service and/or Site.

We will never sell or otherwise provide the information we collect to outside third parties for the purpose of direct or indirect mass email marketing. We use your personal information only for our own internal administrative purposes, such as fulfilling requests for information, delivering the services and/or products that you order, and providing customer support. We use non-personal information for internal purposes only, such as maintaining, evaluating, and improving our services and website. Non-identifying, non-personal sound clips and/or portions of written transcripts from previously recorded consultations or readings may be used from time to time in the compilation or production of multimedia materials for educational, informational or marketing purposes. All material used will aim to be generic and anonymous and will not include any personally identifying information or content.

You may be able to access external, third-party websites directly from this Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply when you access such sites. We cannot control how third parties may use personal information you disclose to them, so you should carefully review the privacy policy of any external, third-party Web site you visit before using it or disclosing your personal information to its provider. Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online, for example through email, discussion boards, forums or elsewhere, that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

 

Cookies

 

​The Internet pages of this Service and Site use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID. Through the use of cookies, this Service and Site can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The user may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the user deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

The website of this Service and Site collects a series of general data and information when a user or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are 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 these general data and information, this Service and Site does not draw any conclusions about the user. 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, this Service and Site analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our business, 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 the user.

 

Member Registration

 

Wherever the user is able to register on this website it will require the provision of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to us is determined by the respective input forms used for the registration. The personal data entered by the user are collected and stored exclusively for our internal use, and for our own purposes only. We may at times request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel delivery service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to us.

By registering as a member or user on this website, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the user—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. The storage of this data is necessary only to secure us as a business and this data is not passed on to third parties, unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the user, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable us to offer the user contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from our database.

We shall, at any time, provide information upon request to a user as to what personal data are stored about them. In addition, we shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the user, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations.

 

Newsletter / Mailing List Subscription

 

On this website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our business's newsletter. The input form used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from us. We inform subscribers regularly by means of a newsletter about special offers and other news. Our newsletter may only be received by the user if (1) the user has a valid email address and (2) the user has subscribed for the newsletter distribution. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered by a user for the first time for newsletter distribution, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to prove whether the owner of the email address as the subscriber is authorized to receive the newsletter.

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the user 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 user at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of our legal protection.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. 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. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the user at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the user has given for sending the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter by communicating this to us by email.

Our newsletter may 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 user, and which links in the email were called up by the user.


Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the user. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Users 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, this personal data will be deleted upon request by the user. We automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

 

Contact Forms & Email

 

If a user contacts us by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the user are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis ton us by a user is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the sender. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

PayPal Payment

 

This website features integrated components of PayPal. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg. If the user chooses PayPal as the payment option in our online shop during the ordering process, we automatically transmit the data of the user to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the user agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing. The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The processing of the purchase contract also requires such personal data, which are in connection with the respective order. The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention.

 

We will transfer personal data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and us, for the processing of the data, will be transmitted by PayPal to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks. PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and service providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order.

The user has the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.
