We do not sell your personal data. However, in order to provide our services, we share data with trusted third-party providers (“processors”). We have entered into appropriate data processing agreements with these providers to ensure that your data is protected.

The service providers we use include:

  • Hosting: Hostinger (website hosting).
  • CRM, appointment scheduling & communication: GoHighLevel (HighLevel Inc., USA) for managing customer data, bookings, calendars, appointment confirmations, follow-up communication, and — where separately consented to — email marketing.

  • E-commerce & shop: FunnelKit (order processing).
  • Payment processing: Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., Ireland / Stripe Inc., USA). We share the necessary data with Stripe to process payments. Stripe also enables the use of third-party providers such as Apple Pay (Apple Inc.) and PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A.). If you choose these services, your data will be transmitted to these providers. The actual payment to us may be made via PayPal.

Special note regarding Human Design data:
To the extent that birth data is processed in connection with the creation of Human Design charts, this is done on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Since this data may allow conclusions to be drawn about personal beliefs or worldview, we also rely, as a precaution, on Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR.


7. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers are located outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed whenever personal data is transferred to a third country.

United Kingdom (UK) – Bodygraph:
Data processing by Bodygraph takes place in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom benefits from an adequacy decision by the European Commission confirming a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU.

USA – HighLevel Inc., Stripe, Zoom, Google:
These providers are based in the USA. Transfers take place on the following legal bases:

– EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF): The above-mentioned providers (in particular HighLevel Inc., Stripe Inc., Zoom Video Communications Inc., and Google LLC) are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For certified companies, the European Commission has recognized an adequate level of protection (adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR).

– Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Additionally, or in the event that DPF certification is not in place or ceases to apply, we use the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR to contractually safeguard your data.

8. Social Media Presence

We maintain online presences on social networks to communicate with customers and interested parties (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). In this context, data may be processed outside the European Union.

– Instagram: ralli_dontcheva (Provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.).

– TikTok: rd_coaching (Provider: TikTok Technology Ltd., Ireland / TikTok Inc., USA).

– Facebook Fanpage: RD-Coaching (Provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.).

When you visit these profiles, the providers set cookies that analyze your user behavior. We receive anonymized statistics (“Insights”) from the providers, which help us optimize our content. For Meta products (Facebook/Instagram), a “Joint Controller” agreement exists in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR.


9. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

– Tax & accounting data: In Austria, under the Federal Fiscal Code (BAO), we are legally required to retain basic information about our customers (including contact, identity, financial, and transaction data) for tax purposes for 7 years. This period begins at the end of the calendar year in which the invoice was issued.

– Human Design data: Birth data (date, time, place) and the analyses created from it are stored for the duration of contract performance and customer care. Unless statutory retention obligations apply, this data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected or if you request deletion.

– Session/customer data: Data related to active coaching is stored for the duration of our coaching relationship. To ensure continuity of support, we retain this data for up to 3 years after our last interaction, unless you request earlier deletion and no legal obligations require longer retention.

– Analytics data: User-related data in Google Analytics is automatically deleted after 14 months.


10. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate security measures (including SSL encryption) to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way. Access to your personal data is limited to those persons who have a genuine business need to know.


11. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under data protection laws, you have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:

– Access your personal data.

– Correct your personal data.

– Erase your personal data (“right to be forgotten”).

– Object to the processing of your personal data.

– Restrict the processing of your personal data.

– Data portability.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@rd-coaching.eu. We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.
