Privacy Policy

Thank you for your interest in my Coaching Services. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for my business and I wish to outline how we handle your data and privacy in this privacy policy.

The use of the Internet pages of my website is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special services via my website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, I generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Alison Field Coaching website. By means of this data protection declaration, I would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data I collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, I have implemented numerous technical measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy statement on Alison Field’s website follows the language and terms set by the Australian government in line with the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I aim to make my privacy statement easily readable and understandable for everyone, including my customers and business partners. To achieve this, I'll begin by clarifying some of the terms used. In this privacy statement, you'll come across terms such as:

(a) Personal data: Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

(b) Data subject: A data subject is any identified or identifiable individual, whose personal information is processed by the party responsible for handling the data.

(c) Processing: Processing refers to any operation or set of operations performed on personal information, whether automated or not. This includes actions like collection, recording,

organisation, storage, adaptation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, transmission,

dissemination, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

(d) Restriction of processing:

Restriction of processing involves marking stored personal information with the aim of limiting its future processing.

(e) Profiling:

Profiling encompasses any form of automated processing of personal information that assesses certain personal aspects related to an individual. This may include analysing or predicting aspects of a person's work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location, or movements.

(f) Pseudonymisation:

Pseudonymisation is processing personal information in a way that prevents it from being directly linked to a specific individual without additional information. This additional information must be kept separately and be subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure the data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable person.g) Responsible Party or Data Controller:

The responsible party or entity responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal information. If Australian law determines the purposes and means of processing, the responsible party or specific criteria for nomination may be outlined in Australian law or regulations.

(h) Processor:

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body thatprocesses personal information on behalf of the controller.

(i) Recipient:

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to whom personal information is disclosed, whether a third party or not. Public authorities receiving personal information in the context of a specific inquiry in accordance with Australian law are not considered recipients, provided that the processing aligns with applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of processing.

(j) Third party: A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and individuals authorised to process personal information under the direct authority of the controller or processor.

(k) Consent: Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes. This can be expressed through a statement or clear affirmative action, signifying agreement to the processing of personal information related to the individual.

2. Name and Address of the responsible party

The responsible party for the purposes of Australian data protection laws is:

Alison Field

Sydney, Australia

Email: alison@alisonfield.com.au

Website: www.alisonfield.com.au

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of Alison Field’s website use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Alison Field’s website can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on the website can be optimised with the user in mind. Cookies allow me, as previously mentioned, to recognise my website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilise my website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through my website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subjectdeactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of my website may be entirely usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of Alison Field collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files.

Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the Alison Field website does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of my website correctly, (2) optimise the content of my website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of my information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.

Therefore, the Alison Field website analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of my business, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data I process.

The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on my website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration.

The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes.

The controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offences. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.

The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations.

6. Subscription to my newsletters

On the website of Alison Field, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to the newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

The Alison Field website informs its customers regularly by means of a newsletter about offers.

The newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mailaddress and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorised to receive the newsletter.

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send my newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties.

The subscription to my newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.

7. Contact possibility via the website

The website of Alison Field contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to the coaching business, as well as direct communication with me, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored.

Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

8. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the Australian government or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the Australian Government or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

9. Rights of the data subject

a) Right of confirmation

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the Australian Government to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

b) Right of access

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the Australian Government to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the Australian Government grant the data subject access to thefollowing information:

- the purposes of the processing;

- the categories of personal data concerned;

- the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;

- where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;

- the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing;

- the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

- where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source;

- the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and

(4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

c) Right to rectification

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the Australian Government to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the Australian Government to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:

- The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

- The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.

- The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

- The personal data have been unlawfully processed.

- The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

- The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Alison Field website, he or she may, at any time, contact the controller.

The controller shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required.

e) Right of restriction of processing

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the Australian Government to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

- The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

- The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead.

- The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

- The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by Alison Field website, he or she may at any time contact the controller. The controller will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to data portability

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the Australian Government to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact Alison Field (the controller).

g) Right to object

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the Australian Government to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The Alison Field website shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless I can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the Alison Field website processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such directmarketing. If the data subject objects to the Alison Field website to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the Alison Field website will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the Alison Field website for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact Alison Field. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling:

Each data subject shall have the right granted by Australian data protection laws not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision

(1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a responsible party, or (2) is not authorised by Australian law to which the responsible party is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a responsible party, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, the Alison Field website shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the responsible party, to express his or her point of view, and contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision- making, he or she may, at any time, contact Alison Field.

i) Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent:

Each data subject shall have the right granted by Australian data protection laws to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of his or her personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may, at any time, contact Alison Field.

10. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR.

The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning my products or services. Is my coaching business subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in my coaching business and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party.

Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the above mentioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by my coachingbusiness or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the Australian Government He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

11. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

12. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement

Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data I clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides me with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by myself. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide me with personal data when I sign a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact me. I clarify to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

13. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible coach, I do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

14. Payment Service Providers (PSPs)

Stripe.com

On my website, you have the option of paying via Stripe. This payment service is provided by Stripe Payments Australia Pty Ltd, Level 7, 222 Exhibition Street Melbourne VIC 3000, (hereinafter referred to as “Stripe").

If you choose to pay via Stripe, the payment details you enter will be transferred to Stripe. The transfer of your data to Stripe is performed on the basis of Australian data protection laws.

If the data is not provided, it may be impossible to conclude or execute a contract. I have no knowledge of how long Stripe stores data and have no way of influencing this. Stripe Checkout or Stripe Credit

If you select the payment method "Stripe Credit" or "Stripe Checkout" when making your payment, then to process your payment, I will forward the personal data I collect to Stripe Payments Australia Pty Ltd. The legal basis for the processing is in accordance with Australian data protection laws. The provision of your data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. If the data is not provided, the conclusion or execution of the contract may be impossible.

Stripe will process the transmitted data and may perform an identity and credit check if necessary. Stripe has a legitimate interest here in the transmission of the buyer’s personal data and processes this information for purposes of identity and credit checks, in accordance with Australian data protection laws.

The credit check uses mathematical and statistical methods to calculate a rating with regard to the probability of non-payment (this is known as calculating a scoring value). Stripe uses thecalculated scoring value as the basis for its decision whether to provide the respective payment methods. A scoring value is calculated according to recognised scientific methods.

In addition to your address data, information about past payment behaviour and probability values on expected future payment behaviour are also included. I have no knowledge of how long Stripe stores data and have no way of influencing this.

You can contact Stripe via the following contact form: https://support.stripe.com/questions/

contact-stripe-support

For more information about how Stripe processes your data, please refer to https://stripe.com/en-au/legal/privacy-center

You can object to this processing at any time. Your right of objection exists if you have reasons arising from your particular situation unless I can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms or, moreover, the processing serves to establish and exercise or defend against legal claims. You can send me your objection to the contact data provided under 'Responsible Provider'. However, Stripe remains entitled to process and pass on the customer data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing or is required by law or an official or court order.

15. Hosting

I use external hosting services for the provision of the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage resources and database services, security and technical maintenance services. This involves processing all data necessary for the operation and use of my website.

I use external hosting services to run this website. By using external hosting services, I aim to make the provision of my website efficient and secure. The legal basis of the processing is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR.

The recording of data for the provision and use of the website and the processing of data using external web hosting services is an absolute necessity for the operation of the website. You may object to the processing. Your right of objection exists if you have reasons arising from your particular situation, unless I can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or, moreover, the processing serves to establish and exercise or defend against legal claims (Art. 21(1) GDPR). You can send me your objection to the contact data provided under ‘Responsible provider’. In the event that your objection is justified, I will examine the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or point out to you the compelling legitimate reasons on the basis of which I will continue processing.
