4.Privacy Agreement

Because I want to do everything I can to protect your privacy, I comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This privacy statement applies when you visit my website and when you use my services:

• Online: when you visit this website or purchase a service/product online

By visiting my website and also when you share data with me online/offline, you agree to this privacy statement.

5.Secure connection

On my website, the data you share with me is sent to me via secure connection (SSL).

6.Third parties

Everything that is shared with me during the session remains strictly confidential. However, I may have to share your information with others to comply with a legal obligation. This concerns a possible criminal investigation. I will never pass your information to third parties with commercial intentions.

7.What data is collected?

On my website I collect data in two ways:

1. Personal data that you actively provide to me:

• If you sign up for my free newsletter or another form of free tips and inspiration, I ask you to share your data, such as your first name and email address, with me. I do not collect any personal data that you have not voluntarily provided to me by filling in an opt-in form. This data is stored in my secure database in EmailOctopus (my email marketing system). Please note that EmailOctopus has its own terms of use and privacy statements. 
• If you purchase a service or product, in addition to your first name and email address, I also ask for your last name and address and any company details. This data is stored securely in Stripe (my payment systems) and Calendly (my booking system). I always use a secure payment environment for your order. Your payment details are processed by Stripe. I do not have access to them. Please note that Stripe and Calendly have their own terms and conditions and privacy statements. 
• For most services and product, I also collect your birth data, with your permission, so that I can calculate your Human Design chart. This data is necessary for me to be able to work qualitatively. 

1. Personal data that is automatically passed on to me for technical reasons:

• When you visit my website, technical information is automatically provided to me by your computer and equipment, such as the IP address you use, the operating system and the internet browser used, as well as where your IP address is located (only the region or country). These are cookies of which you can also see the cookie notification when you visit my website. For more information about cookies on my website, I refer you further in this privacy statement. 
• If you receive an e-mail from me, sent via EmailOctopus, some technical data is automatically provided to me by your e-mail program, computer and equipment, such as the operating system you use and the internet browser used, where your IP address is located (only the region or country), and whether you open the e-mail and click on links in the e-mail. I have no control over this myself. If you do not want this, it is sufficient to unsubscribe from my e-mails via the link at the bottom of each e-mail. 

8. How is this data used?

Your data is used in various ways:

• To email you so that I can provide the service or product you have purchased, including the purchase confirmation, payment confirmation and invoice, practical information about using the service or product, and any updates to the service or product. If you have purchased a product or service, you will also receive my free newsletter from me, from which you can unsubscribe at any time if you wish. 
• To email you so that I can send you my free newsletter if you have explicitly requested this.
• To email you so that I can confirm your booking and send you any reminder emails about our appointment
• To email you so that I can provide you with the necessary support and information about the service or product
• To email you so that I can ask you for feedback about the service or product you purchased. 

In addition, your personal data is also used to enable employees or parties to whom I outsource work (such as technical support and customer service) to contact you for the delivery of services or products that you have purchased, or in the event of technical problems when using my website or after registering for my newsletter. These parties are of course obliged to treat your data confidentially. 

9. Newsletter

The newsletter is sent maximum of 1x per month and bundles new blog posts and other information. In some newsletters you will also receive an offer or promotion for one of my services or products. I use the EmailOctopus tool to send newsletters. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link at the bottom of each email.

10. Affiliates

On my website and in some emails, I place links to external websites of partners and affiliates if I think this information is valuable to you. I have no control over how these partners deal with privacy legislation. I advise you to carefully read the privacy statement and terms of use of these partners when you visit these websites. 

11. Cookies

My website use cookies. A cookie is a small (text) file that a website places on the hard drive of your computer when you visit a site. With a cookie, your browser can be recognized after repeated visits to a website. However, a cookie does not collect personal data that is linked to your identity but only remembers your preferences and interest based on your surfing behavior. Cookies are mainly placed to improve the user experience of this website. These are the different types of cookies that are placed:

• Functional cookies: these are necessary for the correct functioning of (parts of) my website
• Analytical cookies: these are necessary to track the surfing behavior of visitors to this website
• Marketing cookies: these are collected to show you relevant advertisements.

If you do not want to accept cookies, you can set this in your browser. Parts of my website may no longer be accessible if you disable cookies. According to Belgian law, I must ask permission in advance to place cookies on your computer. That is why you will see a cookie notification at the bottom of your first visit to my website. You can indicate here whether you agree to the use of cookies. 

12. Access, Modification or deletion of data

If you have signed up on my website to receive my newsletter emails or any other form of free tips and inspiration, you will receive emails from me so that I can deliver what I promised you. I use EmailOctopus for this. This means that EmailOctopus also receives your data. 

I process this data as long as you are on my email list and have not unsubscribed. You can always have the data you have provided for me adjusted by sending an email. You can easily unsubscribe via the link at the bottom of each email. After you have unsubscribed, your data will be completely removed from the system.

When you schedule an appointment via Calendly, the date you enter in the form is saved. This means that Calendly also receives this data. Via Calendly you will also receive an email as a reminder of your appointment. 

You cannot unsubscribe from emails that are necessary to complete your purchase process. These emails are automatically sent via Stripe. If you would like to be forgotten by Stripe system, simply send me an e-mail. Your data will then be completely removed from the system, as long as there are no outstanding subscriptions or payments. 

You have the right to object the processing of your data. You also have the right to withdraw your consent for the processing of the data that you have already provided to me. If you want to object or withdraw your consent, you can send me an e-mail. You have the right to file a complaint about the processing of your data. You can do this with the Belgian Privacy Commission. 

13. Disclaimer

In some places I have no influence on the protection of your privacy. Therefore, be aware that all information that you voluntarily and personally provide to third parties, such as in comments on my blog, in the chat during Zoom sessions and on my social media profiles, can be read and collected by third parties. I am not liable or responsible for any improper use of this information by third parties.  

14. What to do in case of conflict?

Then we will first look for a solution together. If that does not work, the court of Antwerp, will take over. Our agreement and these general terms and conditions are exclusively subject to Belgian law.
