You can subscribe to my newsletter The Unspoken Shift.

It enables me to track conversions from LinkedIn campaigns and to measure aggregated statistics. The Insight Tag sets cookies and may transfer data to LinkedIn servers in the US.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) a GDPR (consent).
You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings.
8. Request by e-mail or telephone
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.
9. Video Conferencing (Zoom / Microsoft Teams)
For coaching sessions and workshops, I use video conferencing tools:
- Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (USA)

When you participate in an online session, the data you provide (name, email, video/audio data) will be processed by the provider. All three providers rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework for data transfers.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) b GDPR (performance of contract).
