1. Who we are
This website (“the Site”) is operated under the professional name Laura Gardener Coaching. The Site offers remote coaching and conversation sessions in English, focused on personal reflection and human connection. The data controller for this Site operates within the European Union. We value your privacy and collect only the minimal information necessary to reply to your requests and maintain the Site.
2. What personal data we collect and why
Contact form
When you submit the contact or session request form, you may choose to provide a nickname or first name, your timezone, and an optional message. This information is used only to respond to your inquiry and schedule a session if you wish. You are not required to share your full name or any identifying details. Form submissions are securely transmitted to an encrypted inbox and are not stored on this Site after delivery.
Payments
Payments are handled externally through PayPal.me. This Site does not process or store payment details. Please refer to PayPal’s Privacy Policy for information about how they handle your data.
Analytics
This Site uses a cookieless, privacy-friendly analytics service. No personal data, cookies, or tracking identifiers are set. Analytics are collected only in aggregated form (for example, total page views or general region) to help understand overall traffic and performance.
3. Cookies
This Site is designed to operate without tracking cookies. If a small, strictly necessary technical cookie is used (for example, to protect the form from spam), it contains no personal information and expires automatically. No marketing, advertising, or cross-site tracking cookies are used.
4. Embedded content
Occasionally, a blog post may include embedded content (for example, videos or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly, and those sites may collect data in line with their own privacy policies.
5. Data sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share visitor information. Third-party processors are used only for essential services:
• Form processing provider – to deliver your form securely.
• PayPal – for payments.
• Analytics provider – for anonymous usage statistics.
All third-party providers used are GDPR-compliant or operate under equivalent privacy frameworks.
6. Data retention
Form submissions: kept only long enough to reply to your inquiry.
Email correspondence: retained for up to one year, then deleted unless required for record-keeping.
No user accounts, comment sections, or registration data exist on this Site.
7. Your rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you may request confirmation of whether any data about you is held, request deletion of your messages or correspondence, and withdraw consent at any time. To make a request, please use the privacy contact form available on this Site. Messages sent through that form are delivered securely to the data controller.
8. Where your data is stored
Form submissions are transmitted to encrypted email storage located in the European Union. Analytics data (if used) are stored in aggregate form on servers located in the EU. No data are transferred to jurisdictions without adequate data-protection laws.
9. Children’s privacy
