1. Controller

choices® global GmbH, Tannenstraße 13, 91623 Sachsen b. Ansbach, Germany. Email for data protection requests: gdpr@choices-global.com.

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by cyber_Folks S.A., Poznań, Poland (EU). When you visit the website, the server processes technically necessary data such as IP address, date and time, page requested, browser and operating system. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in secure and stable operation (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). A data processing agreement is in place with the host.

Audience measurement (Koko Analytics)

To measure how our website is used, we use the WordPress plugin Koko Analytics. It runs exclusively on our own web server; no data is passed to third parties. No cookies are set and no information is stored on or read from your device. Only aggregated figures are recorded: the pages viewed and the referring website. To recognise repeat views, a hash is created from the IP address and browser identifier together with a random value that changes daily; the IP address itself is not stored, and the hash can no longer be linked after one day at the latest. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in privacy-friendly analysis of how our website is used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

3. Enquiry assistant and contact form

Enquiry assistant “Thomas”. You can send us an enquiry via the enquiry assistant on our pages. Your details (name, email address, phone number and company if provided, preferred language, format, goal and message) and the page on which you make the enquiry are transmitted to our web server, stored there and forwarded to our team by email. Where applicable, we also transfer the enquiry to our monday.com account (see below). To prevent abuse, we process your IP address in hashed form for no longer than one hour to limit the number of enquiries. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) and, for abuse prevention, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The assistant only guides you through predefined questions; every enquiry is answered by a person, and no automated decision is made.

Form by monday.com. Alternatively, you can open a form by monday.com Ltd., Tel Aviv, Israel, via a link. It is loaded directly from monday.com in a new window only after you click. Your details (name, email, phone, company, language, format, message) are stored in our monday.com account to handle your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, pre-contractual measures) and on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The data is processed in data centres in the USA. An EU adequacy decision exists for Israel; for transfers to the USA we rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or EU standard contractual clauses. To protect against spam, the form uses Google reCAPTCHA (Google Ireland Limited), which may evaluate usage data. We delete enquiry data once it is no longer needed and no statutory retention obligations apply.

4. Contact by email

If you email us, we process your details to answer your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). Our mailboxes are provided by Microsoft (Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, Microsoft 365); a data processing agreement is in place with Microsoft.

5. Fonts

The fonts on this website are loaded locally from our server. No connection to Google Fonts servers is made.

6. Cookies

We only use technically necessary cookies, for example to store your language choice. We currently use no analytics or marketing cookies. See our cookie policy.

7. External links

Our pages link to third-party websites such as Google reviews, Pearson and choices.com.pl. Data is only transferred to the respective provider when you click. Their privacy policies apply.

8. Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, and the right to withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; ours is the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach.
