3.  Google Analytics

I would like to understand the use of the website to optimize it. Google Analytics is used for this purpose. This service analyses the data of website visitors. An IP address is not visible and is therefore not traceable to a person. Google Analytics also uses its own policy, which can be found online.

To make it as easy as possible for the customer, Ruth Elsaesser uses buttons, links, and/or contact forms. These social media channels also collect information. To get a clear picture of what happens to the data, the privacy statements of the social media channels can provide some guidance.

5.  Privacy General

Ruth Elsaesser does not collect or process personal data. Personal data is stored

only when it is provided by the customer himself, consciously.

6.  Information gathered

Ruth Elsaesser stores information for various reasons. Below you can read what

Information that I store about you and for what purpose.

Contact form

You can ask me questions via the contact form. I ask you to fill in your name and email address and of course your message. This way I know from whom the message comes and I can answer it by e-mail. If you fill in your telephone number, it is also possible that I contact you by telephone. You are not obliged to give me your telephone number.

Payment

In order to make a payment as easy as possible for you, I make use of an online payment service. This allows you, for example, to pay for your order by credit card. To make this possible, your payment details, IP address, internet browser, device type, and in some cases your name and address are shared with these payment services. I do not see this data.

Newsletter

You will only receive a newsletter from Ruth Elsaesser if you have explicitly signed up for it. An active campaign is used to distribute the newsletter. This means that your details (name and email address) are also known to them. Do you want to unsubscribe? That is always possible.

Free gift or webinar

On my website, you can download a "freebie". To do this, I'll need your name and email address so I can send the giveaway to you. When you register for a webinar, I need your name and email address so I can send you the link to the webinar. Following the giveaway or webinar, I may send you emails about my services. You can always unsubscribe or object to this.

Accounting

I have to keep the accounts for my company. For this purpose, I use an accounting program. In it, I collect the invoices that are created after an order is placed by you. Because of this, your name and address are known to my bookkeeping program.

There is also a private Facebook group for the Ruth Elsaesser empowerment program. Here you can ask your questions. You will be added when the program starts.

Your library

You need an account for the library. The following data are stored in this account: name and email address. The system will ask you to create login details when you purchase an offer on my site in order to access the product.

Children

Children's data is only stored if we have the permission of the parent(s) or

guardian(s). I will never process children's data without this permission.

Collection, use, and storage of personal data of business partners 

Please note that we will collect and use the personal data you provide because you have given us your consent or because it is necessary for the protection of our legitimate interests. We process the following data: name, address, and contact details. 

If you are a relation of ours, we use your data to be able to contact you for purposes that are in the interest of our company. This includes, for example, discussing possible cooperation, providing and obtaining information, and maintaining our network. 

You are not obliged to provide us with your personal data. However, if you do not provide us with any or sufficient personal data, we may not be able to carry out the aforementioned purposes. Your data will be deleted one year after the last contact.

7.  Basis for processing personal data

Ruth Elsaesser must have a basis for storing and using your data. You can see this as a necessary condition for being able to process data. For us, the bases are: 

• The data mentioned above, namely the e-mail address, telephone number, payment details, and delivery address, are necessary for the performance of the contract concluded with you.
• The data, such as the (company) name and address, are necessary to fulfill legal obligations, including tax laws.
• I ask your permission to send the newsletter. You can always withdraw this permission. I also ask permission for the processing of health data. We will also ask permission when it comes to children.
• We have a legitimate interest in sending direct marketing to potential customers. For each type of direct marketing sent, we will weigh our marketing interests against the privacy harm to you.
• Ruth Elsaesser cannot do its work without a name, address(es), e-mail address(es), and delivery and payment data. If you do not wish to provide your personal details, we cannot help you. No agreement will then be concluded, which means that Ruth Elsaesser cannot send any products and cannot provide any services. Would you like to purchase a service? Then you are obliged to provide your data. You are not obliged to create an account or subscribe to the newsletter. You are free to do so.

8.  Sharing with others

Ruth Elsaesser does not sell your data to third parties and only provides/discloses it if necessary for the execution of the agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation. Ruth Elsaesser concludes a processor's agreement with companies that process your data on her behalf in order to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality of your data as she does herself. Ruth Elsaesser will remain responsible for this processing.

We also use external server space to store (parts of) our contact database. If you are a relation of ours, your personal data is part of this. Your personal data are therefore provided to our server room provider. Furthermore, we use Microsoft Office and the corresponding storage facilities for e-mails and other files. Finally, because we use a newsletter mailing service, your personal data is passed on to the provider of this service, provided you have given your consent.

9.  How long do we keep data

Ruth Elsaesser will not retain your data any longer than is strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes for which your data is collected. The storage period(s) are:

• After completion of the order, the necessary data will be kept for 7 years after payment of the invoice in order to comply with the administrative requirements of laws and regulations. - The account you have created will exist for as long as you wish. You can always look back at your order. The account will be deleted immediately when you want to remove the account. You can contact me about this.
• All other data, which is not retained for the purposes of statutory administration or the invoice, will be deleted six months after termination of the contract.
• When you unsubscribe from the newsletter, your data will be deleted within 3 months.
