Privacy
[To be confirmed: text to be approved before going live]
This page explains how your personal data is processed. I am based in Switzerland and work with people in Switzerland, France and elsewhere, so I follow both the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nLPD/revFADP) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Data controller
Geneviève Contesse, Fribourg, Switzerland, [To be confirmed: postal address], genevieve [at] contesse.life.
Data collected and purposes
- Contact form: name, email address, phone (optional), subject and message. This data is used to reply to you and to arrange the discovery call.
- Taking part in the programme: name, email address and the information needed to organise the group and to invoice.
- Payments: name, email address, billing address and the amount paid. Card or bank details are entered directly with Stripe: I never see or keep them.
- Participants’ group: if you join the private WhatsApp or Telegram group, your number and messages are processed by that service under its own terms.
Legal basis (GDPR): performing the contract or the pre-contractual steps you ask for (Art. 6(1)(b)) and, for answering your questions, my legitimate interest in doing so (Art. 6(1)(f)).
