You can visit our website without identifying yourself. Our servers may collect anonymous information about your visits, including IP address, domain used to access our website, browser type, the page you entered and exited from, any subpages you view, and the country where you are located. We use this information to analyze website performance (number of visits, average time spent, pages viewed) and for operational purposes, such as improving the quality of our services.

2.3 When you indirectly provide information

We may obtain information from your interactions on social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), depending on your privacy settings. Changes to privacy settings on external platforms must be made by you.

We may also track your visits to our website or pages via cookies. See the Cookies section below.

3. If you are 16 or under

If you are 16 years old or younger, you must obtain permission from a parent or guardian before providing any personal data, particularly when creating a profile or participating in online courses.

4. What information might we collect?

We only collect information necessary to provide our services effectively. This may include:

  • Name, email address, phone number, address, date of birth
  • Reasons for interest in a DeoLink project or page
  • Any other voluntary information you provide via forms or registration

Our services also allow open conversations with other users or coaches. We are not responsible for misuse of shared information. Do not share confidential personal data in these conversations.

Certain categories of personal data are considered sensitive (“special category”), such as:

  • Racial or ethnic origin
  • Religious or philosophical beliefs, political opinions, trade union membership
  • Genetic or biometric data
  • Health information
  • Sexual life or sexual orientation

Sensitive data are processed only with your explicit consent.

5. How and why do we use your data?

We use personal data for:

  • Responding to inquiries
  • Access to online courses and other digital services
  • Adjusting website content to your development needs
  • Processing applications or CVs to evaluate collaboration or volunteer opportunities
  • Fulfilling contractual obligations for goods or services
  • Improving current and future service delivery, possibly with the help of service providers
  • Fundraising administration
  • Sending marketing information if you provide explicit consent
  • Recording and dealing with complaints or internal record-keeping
  • Protecting you or others from serious harm
  • Participating in surveys or market research (voluntary and anonymous unless consented)
  • Legal obligations compliance

6. Do your data undergo profiling?

Yes, in some cases, we may use your data to suggest services or content based on your previous choices (online courses, newsletters, or offline events). Profiling occurs only with explicit consent.

We do not use automated decision-making without human involvement that has legal effects or significantly affects your rights.

7. Who do we share your information with?

We use your data only for the purposes for which it was collected. We never sell or transfer personal data for third-party purposes, except where legally required.

Third-party suppliers may have access only to perform services per our instructions and under strict data protection agreements. Current agreements include:

  • Studio DR LLC — located in Poland, fully owned by DeoLink, supporting content creation, hosting, and IT services.
  • Salesforce.com — global CRM provider (US-based)
  • Conference/event providers (hotels, insurance)

Where legally required, we may disclose data to authorities (e.g., tax investigation or law enforcement) or emergency services if there is a risk of serious harm.

9. How do we protect your data?

We use technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, restrict access to those who need it, and regularly review access rights.

Our online forms are always encrypted and our network is protected and monitored.

Confidentiality of conversations is important; they may not be disclosed without explicit consent. Credit/debit card details are securely passed to payment partners; we do not store card information.

We oblige you to keeping confidentiality as well. By using our services you agree not to publicize and not to share the content of conversations had with a coach or other users, without their explicit consent.

However, please be aware that there are always inherent risks in sending information by public networks or using public computers and we cannot 100% guarantee the security of data (including personal information) disclosed or transmitted over public networks.

10. How long will we store your personal information?

Data is processed no longer than necessary or until you withdraw consent. For financial transactions, data is retained as required by tax and accounting law (up to six years). Marketing opt-outs may require adding your details to a suppression file.

11. International transfers of personal information

We strive to process personal data within the European Economic Area (EEA). Exceptional cases may involve suppliers outside the EEA; safeguards are verified (a country recognized as safe by an appropriate decision of the European Commission or those applying specific standard contractual clauses), and you are informed beforehand.
