This Privacy Policy explains how Deutsch mit Danielle (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects your personal data when you visit deutschmitdanielle.de (the “Site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Who is responsible for your data
The controller responsible for data processing on this Site is the operator of Deutsch mit Danielle. Full legal contact details are provided in our Impressum, and you can reach us at any time through our contact page.
What data we collect and why
Information you give us
- Contact form: when you message us, we collect your name, email address and the content of your message so we can reply. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in responding, and/or steps taken at your request.
- Newsletter: if you subscribe, we collect your email address (and optionally your first name) to send you our newsletter and free resources. This is based on your consent, given via a double opt-in confirmation, and you can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing.
- Comments: if commenting is enabled and you leave a comment, we store the information you provide with it.
Information collected automatically
- Server log files: our hosting provider automatically records technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, for security and to operate the Site. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a secure, functioning website.
- Cookies: see the section below.
Cookies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies. Essential cookies are needed for the Site to function. Non-essential cookies (for example for analytics or embedded content) are only set with your consent, which you can give or refuse through our cookie banner and change at any time. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
Email newsletter
Our newsletter is managed by MailerLite, an email service provider based in the European Union, acting as our data processor. Your subscription data is stored with MailerLite for the purpose of sending you our emails. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing withdraws your consent immediately.
Digital product purchases
Our downloadable products are sold and delivered through Payhip. When you buy a product, your purchase and payment are processed by Payhip and its payment providers, and Payhip also handles applicable EU VAT. We do not receive or store your full payment details.
Affiliate links
This Site contains affiliate links, including through the Amazon Associates programme. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the merchant may set cookies and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Those merchants process your data under their own privacy policies. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more.
Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the Site, and only as needed — including our hosting provider, our email provider (MailerLite) and our product platform (Payhip). Some providers may process data outside the EU; where that happens, appropriate safeguards such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses are in place.
How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here or as required by law. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe; contact messages are kept as long as needed to handle your enquiry.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access your data; have it corrected or deleted; restrict or object to its processing; data portability; and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our contact page.
Children
This Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under the age required by law in their country.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. Please check back periodically.
