Overview
This privacy policy is based on the following definitions of terms, as outlined in Art. 4 GDPR:
-
“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 (Art. 4(1) GDPR). Identifiability can also be provided by linking such information or other additional knowledge. This does not depend on the occurrence, form or physical embodiment of the information (photos, video or audio recordings may also contain personal data).
-
“processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means (i.e., technology‑supported). This includes in particular the collection (i.e., the procurement), recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data as well as the change of definition of a target or purpose that was originally used as a basis for data processing (Art. 4(2) GDPR).
-
“controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (Art. 4(7) GDPR).
-
“processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller, in particular in accordance with its instructions (Art. 4(8) GDPR).
-
“third party” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data; this also includes other legal entities belonging to the group (Art. 4(10) GDPR).
-
“consent” of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her (Art. 4(11) GDPR).
Personal information refers to any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. How we handle your personal information will depend on whether we act as a "controller" or as a "processor" of the personal information. The controller is the entity that decides how and why to process personal information. The processor processes personal information on behalf of the controller at the controller's direction.
CareerCoachingPro’s Role as a Controller of Your Personal Information. CareerCoachingPro is the controller of personal information that it collects and processes in connection with the use of our site and the provision of CareerCoachingPro Services. This includes personal information that you provide to us when you create an account on the site, purchase a video course, purchase Coaching through our site, etc. Please refer to the "Personal Information We Collect" section of this Privacy Policy for more information about personal information that CareerCoachingPro collects as a controller.

-
Third Party Integrations. You may allow our site to interact with third party services (such as Zoom). The information you allow CareerCoachingPro to access varies by service, and it is affected by the privacy settings you and those that you are connected with establish while using such services. Third-party services are operated, controlled, and maintained by third parties that are not operated, controlled, or maintained by CareerCoachingPro. We recommend that you read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of those third party services to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information with us or other third parties.

Third Party Payment Processors. We use third party payment processors like PayPal to process payments through the CareerCoachingPro.com site.

For security purposes, CareerCoachingPro does not collect or receive any sensitive payment information, such as your complete card number or authentication data.

For additional information about how your payment information is processed and stored, we recommend that you review the applicable payment processor's privacy policy.

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights related to your personal information (see the 'Jurisdiction Specific Provisions' section below for more information about location-specific privacy rights).
You can also choose not to provide us with certain personal information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our site because that information may be required for you to register for an account, purchase CareerCoachingPro Services, get customer support, or engage in other activities on our site.

Accessing, Updating, and Deleting Your Personal Information

If you believe that any personal information we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, we will work with you to make corrections deemed necessary.

If you'd like CareerCoachingPro to delete your account or delete personal information it holds about you, you can submit a deletion request. Note that when we delete your account, personal information that you have shared with others (for example, through comments or an intake form) may still be visible. CareerCoachingPro will also retain certain personal information about you where reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations or for our legitimate business purposes.
Data Privacy Requests and Verification
You can request to access, update, or delete your personal information by emailing us at info@careercoachingpro.com from the email address associated with your account.
