5.3 WhatsApp-Business
You have the option to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called “Business version” of WhatsApp.
If you contact us via WhatsApp in connection with a specific business matter (such as a placed order), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use with WhatsApp as well as—if provided — your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR to process and respond to your inquiry. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) so that we can assign your inquiry to a specific transaction.
If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (such as regarding our range of services, availability, or our website), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp as well as—if provided — your first and last name in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in providing the requested information efficiently and promptly.
Your data will always be used solely to respond to your inquiry via WhatsApp. It will not be shared with third parties.
Please note that WhatsApp Business gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose, and phone numbers stored in the address book are automatically transferred to a server operated by the parent company, Meta Platforms Inc. in the United States. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book contains only the WhatsApp contact information of users who have actually contacted us via WhatsApp.
This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact information is stored in our address book has already consented to the transfer of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts—in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR—by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Service when they first used the app on their device. The transfer of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.
For information on the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, and your related rights and privacy settings, please refer to WhatsApp’s privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

If your contact is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will be deleted when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations preclude this.
6) Data Processing When Opening a Customer Account

7) Use of Customer Data for Direct Marketing
Subscription to Our Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only required information for receiving the newsletter is your email address. Providing additional data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called “double opt-in” procedure to send the newsletter, which ensures that you will only receive the newsletter once you have expressly confirmed your consent to receive it by clicking on a verification link sent to the email address you provided.
By activating the confirmation link, you grant us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. In doing so, we store the IP address registered by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration, in order to be able to trace any potential misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you subscribe to the newsletter is used strictly for the intended purpose.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the data controller named at the beginning of this notice. Once you have unsubscribed, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.
8) Data Processing for Contract Fulfilment
8.1
To fulfill the contract, we work with the service provider(s) listed below, who assist us, in whole or in part, with the execution of concluded contracts. Certain personal data is transferred to these service providers in accordance with the following information.
8.2 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)
- PayPal
One or more online payment methods from the following provider are available on this website: PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg
If you select a payment method from this provider that requires you to pay in advance, your payment details provided during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency, and transaction number), as well as information about the contents of your order, will be shared with the provider in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. In this case, your data is transferred exclusively for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
If you select a payment method where we pay in advance, you will also be asked during the ordering process to provide certain personal data (first and last name, street, house number, ZIP code, city, date of birth, email address, phone number, and, if applicable, details regarding an alternative payment method).
In such cases, to safeguard our legitimate interest in assessing your creditworthiness, we will forward this data to the provider in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR for the purpose of a credit check. The provider will review the personal data you have provided, as well as additional information (such as your shopping cart, invoice amount, order history, and payment history) to determine whether the payment option you have selected can be granted in light of the risks of non-payment and/or bad debt.
The credit report may contain probability values (so-called “score values”). To the extent that score values are included in the credit report’s results, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. The calculation of the score values includes, among other things but not exclusively, address data.
You may object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to us or to the provider. However, the provider may still be entitled to process your personal data, provided this is necessary for the contractual processing of payments.
8.3 Use of LINC Coaching and Analysis Tools
To provide our coaching services and to conduct the personality, career, and sports analyses we offer, we use digital applications from LINC GmbH, Grapengießerstraße 16, 21335 Lüneburg, Germany. These include, in particular: the LINC COACHING BOARD, the LINC PERSONALITY PROFILER (LPP), the LINC CAREER PROFILER (LCP), and the LINC SPORTS PROFILER (LSP).
The LINC COACHING BOARD is used primarily to conduct and organize digital coaching processes. Among other things, it enables video communication, collaborative work on digital whiteboards, the use of digital coaching methods, and the provision of learning and development content. Results from LINC personality analyses can be integrated into the coaching process. Depending on the coaching or analysis service booked, the following personal data, in particular, may be processed: first and last name, email address, and, if applicable, additional contact information required to set up and manage access; login credentials or technical usage data; data that you enter or create yourself while using the LINC COACHING BOARD; image and audio data as well as other communication data, to the extent that such data is generated during a coaching session conducted via the LINC COACHING BOARD, content and results of the collaborative work on the digital whiteboard, your responses to the respective online questionnaires, analysis and result data automatically generated from these, and result reports from the respective profiler.
The LINC PERSONALITY PROFILER (LPP) assesses personality traits based on the Big Five model. The LINC CAREER PROFILER (LCP) is designed for personality-based career and vocational guidance. The LINC SPORTS PROFILER (LSP) creates a personality profile and compares it with key success factors in competitive sports. The purposes of processing include, in particular, the provision and delivery of the agreed-upon coaching services, the technical implementation and organization of digital coaching sessions, interactive collaboration during the coaching process, and the conduct, evaluation, and delivery of the personality, career, or sports analysis you have commissioned.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the initiation, execution, and fulfillment of the coaching or analysis contract is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. To the extent that processing is not necessary for the performance of the contract, it is carried out—provided the legal requirements are met—on the basis of appropriate consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or on the basis of a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
To the extent that special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR—in particular health data—are processed in the context of coaching or an analysis, such processing takes place only if there is a corresponding legal basis pursuant to Article 9(2) of the GDPR. To the extent that explicit consent is required for this, processing is based on Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR. Such information is generally provided only to the extent that it is necessary for the respective coaching service or is voluntarily disclosed by you.
When using the LINC applications, personal data is transmitted to LINC GmbH and processed there. To the extent that LINC acts as a processor on our behalf, the processing is based on a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR.
LINC states that it processes personal data of participants as a data processor in connection with analyses commissioned by coaches. According to LINC, the data is stored exclusively on servers in Germany. For certain technical services, in particular hosting, maintenance, and IT support, LINC may engage additional contractually bound service providers.
The storage of input data and results processed via the LINC analysis tools is carried out in accordance with the specifications of the respective client or coach and is otherwise governed by statutory retention and deletion obligations as well as the respective purpose of processing.
Personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed and there are no statutory retention obligations or other legal grounds for further storage.

Consumers who enter into contracts on this website that are subject to a statutory right of cancellation have the option to declare their cancellation via an electronic cancellation function in accordance with the applicable cancellation provisions.

The collection of this information and its transmission to us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and only to the extent necessary for the proper processing of the withdrawal. Also based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, the personal data provided is used to confirm receipt of the notice of withdrawal via email. Another legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. We are legally required to provide an electronic withdrawal function for consumer distance sales contracts involving payment.

The service verifies whether an input is made by a human or is the result of abusive, machine-driven, or automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access attempts.

11.2 Cookie-Consent-Tool
This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “Cookie Consent Tool” is displayed to users when they visit the page in the form of an interactive user interface, where they can grant consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking the appropriate boxes. When using the tool, all cookies and services requiring consent are loaded only if the respective user grants the appropriate consent by checking the relevant boxes. This ensures that such cookies are set on the user’s device only if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR based on our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, on the legally compliant design of our website.
Another legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As the data controller, we are legally obligated to make the use of technically non-essential cookies contingent upon the user’s consent.
