Privacy Policy

Personal data (e.g. name, email address, or phone number) is processed by us only in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable country-specific data protection laws. In this privacy policy, we inform you about the most important aspects of this data processing when you use this website.

We collect data both directly from you (e.g. when you fill in a form or book a session) and automatically as you browse the site (e.g. technical data collected by the hosting provider). Below we explain who is responsible, what data is processed, for what purpose, and what rights you have.

We host this website's content with the following provider: Onepage.

The provider is Onepage GmbH, Neue Rothofstr. 13-19, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Onepage enables us to build and host websites and landing pages. All personal data that you enter on this site, or that is automatically collected, is processed and stored by Onepage on its servers for this purpose.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in providing a functioning, secure website. Where consent has been requested (e.g. for non-essential cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG; such consent can be revoked at any time.

Data protection. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and process it confidentially and in line with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. Please note that data transmitted over the internet (e.g. via email) can never be fully protected against access by third parties.

Storage duration. Unless a more specific storage period is stated below, your personal data will be kept only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected for, or as required by statutory retention obligations.

Legal bases. Depending on the situation, we rely on: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps you requested (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR); compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR); or our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Recipients of personal data. We only disclose personal data to third parties where necessary to fulfil a contract, where legally required, where we have a legitimate interest, or where another legal basis permits it. Where we use processors, we do so on the basis of a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR.

International transfers. Where service providers are located outside the EU/EEA, we ensure an adequate level of protection through an EU Commission adequacy decision (e.g. the EU-US Data Privacy Framework) or through Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

SSL/TLS encryption. This site uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect confidential content. You can recognise this by the https:// prefix and lock icon in your browser's address bar.

Under applicable data protection law, you have the right to:

• Access your stored personal data (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Erasure, the right to be forgotten (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• Object to processing based on legitimate interest or for direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
• Not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling (Art. 22 GDPR)
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: edpb.europa.eu

If you have given consent to any processing, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future; this does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

6.1 Cookies

This website uses a cookie consent banner with four categories: Essential, Functional, Performance, and Marketing. Only Essential cookies, which are technically necessary, are active by default.

We do not currently use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, or any advertising or tracking tools, and this site does not embed any social media plugins. Should we add such tools in future, this section and the banner will be updated accordingly.

Essential cookies are stored on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where you give consent to any further category, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG; you can change or withdraw consent at any time via the cookie banner.

6.2 Booking a Session

If you book a Diagnostic Session, this is handled by Cal ID, provided by Cal ID, Inc. Cal ID acts as an independent controller for the booking data you provide (e.g. name, email address, selected time slot). Cal ID, Inc. is based in India; where data is transferred outside the EEA, Cal ID relies on EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Further details: cal.id/gdpr-policy

The legal basis for our own use of this booking data is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

6.3 Payment Processing

Payments are processed via Stripe, provided by Stripe Payments Europe, Limited (Dublin, Ireland) for EEA/UK customers or Stripe, Inc. (South San Francisco, USA) for customers elsewhere. Stripe processes payment-related data (e.g. name, billing address, card details) directly; we do not store your full payment card details. This processing is necessary for performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Further information: stripe.com/privacy

6.4 Short Guide

The short guide is a paid product (purchased via Stripe). After payment, access is delivered as a link to a hosted page on Gamma (gamma.app). When you open that link, your device connects directly to Gamma's servers, which may process technical data (e.g. IP address, browser information) to display the page. Details: gamma.app/privacy

We ourselves only process the payment and delivery data described in 6.3.

6.5 Contact Inquiries

If you contact us by email, phone, or through a contact form, we store your inquiry, including the personal data it contains, to process it and for follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your inquiry relates to a contract, and otherwise our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

We maintain the following social media profile, reachable via an outbound link on this website:

• LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/black-out-mentoring

This is a link to an external page, not an embedded plugin, so visiting our website itself does not transmit any data to LinkedIn. If you follow the link and interact with our page, LinkedIn processes your data under its own responsibility. Details: linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
