This policy explains what personal data I collect on paulinaviolina.com and in my work with you, why, and what rights you have. If anything is unclear, write to me at contact@paulinaviolina.com.
1. Who I am

2. What data I process and why

| Answering your messages (contact form, email, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram) | name, contact details, content of the message | my legitimate interest in replying – Art. 6(1)(f); steps before a contract – Art. 6(1)(b) | until the matter is closed, then up to 12 months |
| Enrolment and participation in courses, classes, 1:1 coaching, retreats, ceremonies and concerts | name, email, phone, country, payment details, information you share for the practice | contract – Art. 6(1)(b) | for the duration of the contract and until claims expire |

Giving your data is voluntary, but without it I cannot send you the newsletter, reply to you or provide the service. I do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
3. Online sessions, recordings and the support group
Live online sessions take place on Zoom. Sessions are recorded so that participants can catch up on missed sessions. Recordings are shared only with participants of the same course edition. If your camera is on, your image may be recorded – you can turn it off at any time.
The course support group runs on Telegram. Other members of the group can see your name and, depending on your Telegram privacy settings, your phone number. You can hide your number in Telegram settings.
4. Who receives your data
I share data only when necessary, with providers who help me run the website and my work:
- SEOHOST (seohost.pl, Poland) – website hosting;
- Defiant Inc. (USA) – protecting the website from attacks (Wordfence plugin; processes e.g. IP addresses);
- MailerLite Limited (Ireland) – newsletter;
- Zoom Communications, Inc. (USA) – online sessions;
- Telegram and WhatsApp (Meta) – when you choose to contact me or join the group there;
- Google (USA) – reCAPTCHA protection of the newsletter form and Google Fonts (website fonts);
- CookieYes Limited (United Kingdom) – managing your cookie consent;
- the accounting office that keeps my books;
- public authorities, when the law requires it.
5. Data transfers outside the EEA
Some providers (Zoom, Google, Meta, Defiant) process data in the USA. Transfers are based on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. The United Kingdom (CookieYes) has an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
6. Cookies
Cookies are small files saved in your browser. When you first visit the site, you choose which cookies you accept. You can change your choice at any time with the cookie icon in the bottom-left corner of the page.
- Necessary (always on): consent settings (CookieYes), cart and session (WooCommerce), language choice, website functions. Without them the site does not work properly.
- Analytics (only with your consent): information about where your visit came from (WooCommerce “sbjs_” cookies).
- Third-party: Google reCAPTCHA in the newsletter form, to protect it from spam.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
7. Your rights
You have the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict its processing, transfer it and object to its processing, including for direct marketing. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time; this does not affect processing before the withdrawal. To use your rights, write to contact@paulinaviolina.com.
You can also lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (PUODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland, or with the data protection authority in your country.
