Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed when you visit maxsutter.de or use the contact form. It describes the data involved, the purposes of processing, the service providers used, and your data protection rights.

2. Data Processed

  • Hosting and connection data: When the website is accessed, the hosting provider processes technically necessary connection data. For GitHub Pages, GitHub specifically documents the logging and storage of the visitor's IP address for security purposes.
  • Contact details: Name, email address, and any other information you voluntarily submit through the contact form.
  • Local language settings: The selected language and dismissal of the language suggestion are stored only in your browser's local storage or session storage.

3. Purposes of Processing

  • Secure and reliable delivery of the website.
  • Handling contact enquiries and, where applicable, taking steps before entering into a contract.
  • Locally storing your language selection and language-suggestion status.
  • Detecting and preventing technical problems or abusive use.

4. Recipients

Personal data is disclosed only to service providers required for the relevant purpose, in particular GitHub Pages for hosting and Formcarry for the contact form. Further disclosure takes place only where required by law.

5. Hosting with GitHub Pages

This website is provided as a static website through GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub. GitHub documents that when a GitHub Pages website is visited, the visitor's IP address is logged and stored for security purposes, regardless of whether the visitor is signed in to GitHub.

Legal basis: We use the hosting service on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure, stable, and efficient delivery of this website.

International processing and retention: GitHub's general privacy statement describes possible processing of personal data in the United States and other countries, as well as the transfer mechanisms identified by GitHub. The GitHub Pages documentation does not state a fixed retention period for IP logging. The provider's current information therefore applies; no additional retention period is represented here.

Further information: GitHub Pages – Data collection and the GitHub General Privacy Statement.

6. Contact Form and Formcarry

We use Formcarry, a service provided by Teijal, Inc. d/b/a Formcarry (“Formcarry”), to process our contact form. Formcarry processes the submitted information on our behalf, filters spam, and forwards the enquiry to us by email.

Data Processed: Name, email address, role and organization, leadership challenge, optional information about the source of the referral and readiness to start, and technically necessary connection data such as the IP address.

Purpose and Legal Basis: We process this data to answer your enquiry and, where applicable, to take steps before entering into a coaching contract. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry concerns a potential coaching contract; otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the efficient handling of incoming enquiries and protection of the form against misuse.

Recipients and International Transfers: Formcarry acts as our processor. According to the provider, form data is stored in Frankfurt; remote access from the United States and US-based subprocessors may be involved and are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses or other safeguards identified by the provider. See the Formcarry Data Processing Agreement and Formcarry Privacy Policy for details.

Storage: Persistent storage of incoming form messages in the Formcarry database is disabled. We retain email notifications and resulting correspondence only for as long as necessary to handle the enquiry and comply with applicable legal retention obligations.

Please do not submit health information or other sensitive personal data through the contact form.

7. Cookies and Local Storage

We do not use cookies or tracking technologies.

The website stores your selected language in localStorage until you change the setting or delete your browser data. If you dismiss the language suggestion, that choice is stored in sessionStorage until the end of the current browser session. These values remain in your browser and are not transmitted to us or any third party.

8. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
  • Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our contact information below.

9. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal data. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal data you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
