Data protection

The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Hence,

we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data

protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises

data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we

collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the

information is collected.

We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e., through e-mail communications)

may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.

Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The data processing controller on this website is:
Dr. Sabine Jeßberger
Career Coaching Germany

Mausbergstraße 18
97267 Himmelstadt
Germany

Phone: +49 (0) 1578 7678288
E-mail: info@career-coaching-germany.de

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain

with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for

deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally

permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the

latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR

or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of

explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art.

49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end

device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. The

consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the

implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art.

6(1)(c) GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest
according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in

the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries

Among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in the United States or other from a data

protection perspective non-secure non-EU countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may

potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in

these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For

instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as

the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out

that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal data

for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also

revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness

of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE

THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON

GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED

ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS

BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE

WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO

PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA,

THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE

PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION

PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING,

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE

EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL

DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES

(OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory

agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the

place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your

consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine

readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done

only if it is technically feasible.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or

inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption

program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser

switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information about, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand

information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the

processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have

questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in
the following cases:

In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need
some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to
demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to
demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal
entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead
of its eradication.
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be
weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the
right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving
– may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to
protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by
the European Union or a member state of the EU.

Rejection of unsolicited e-mails

We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory
information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have
not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal
action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.

4. Recording of data on this website

Cookies

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not
cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session
cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are
automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device
until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.

In some cases, it is possible that third-party cookies are stored on your device once you enter our site (third-
party cookies). These cookies enable you or us to take advantage of certain services offered by the third
party (e.g., cookies for the processing of payment services).

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions
would not work in the absence of the cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). The
purpose of other cookies may be the analysis of user patterns or the display of promotional messages.

Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, or for the
provision of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are
necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable
insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis
is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the
technically error free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the
cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing occurs exclusively on the basis
of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are
placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of
cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete function for the automatic eradication of cookies
when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.

In the event that third-party cookies are used or if cookies are used for analytical purposes, we will
separately notify you in conjunction with this Data Protection Policy and, if applicable, ask for your consent.

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any
contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event
that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a
contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based
on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or
on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the
data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being
archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without
prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods.

Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name,
request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these
data on without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a
contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are
processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art.
6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be
revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your
consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request).
Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

Communication via WhatsApp

For communication with our customers and other third parties, one of the services we use is the instant
messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand
Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

The communication is encrypted end-to-end (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties
from gaining access to the communication content. However, WhatsApp does gain access to metadata
created during the communication process (for example, sender, recipient, and time). We would also like to
point out that WhatsApp has stated that it shares personal data of its users with its U.S.-based parent
company Facebook. Further details on data processing can be found in the WhatsApp privacy policy at:
https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as
possible with customers, interested parties and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
If a corresponding consent has been requested, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of the
consent; this consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

The communication content exchanged between and on WhatsApp remains with us until you request us to
delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for which the data is stored ceases to apply (e.g.
after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain
unaffected.

Calendly

You can make appointments with us on our website. We use the “Calendly” tool for booking appointments.
The provider is Calendly LLC, 271 17th St NW, 10th Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30363, USA (hereinafter

https://calendly.com/de/pages/privacy.

The data you have entered will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage
or the purpose for which the data was stored ceases to apply. Mandatory legal provisions, in particular
retention periods, remain unaffected.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a justified interest in
making appointments with interested parties and customers in as uncomplicated a manner as possible. If
appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a)
GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in
the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be
revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.
