**Privacy Policy:**

I am committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This privacy statement aims to inform you about the purpose, type, and scope of the processing of personal data. Specifically:

- The type of user data and personal data the website collects from you, the purpose of this collection, and whether I share it with third parties.
- Your choices regarding the use of your data.
- The security methods in place to protect against misuse of your data.
- How you can access, delete, or correct any inaccuracies in your information.

**Collection, Use, and Sharing of Information:**

I only have access to and collect information that you voluntarily provide to me via email or other direct contact with your explicit consent. I am the sole owner of the information collected on www.alek.coach and will not sell your data to third parties under any circumstances. Your information is used solely to process your request.

I strive to continuously improve my website and attract new clients. To monitor traffic on my website and create better advertisements, I use some third-party services.

**Google Analytics:**

I use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics stores cookies on your computer, allowing us to analyze the browsing behavior of our visitors. The information generated by the cookie (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website and compile reports on website activity. If required by law, Google may also transfer this information to third parties. Google may also transfer this data to third parties for processing on their behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. If you wish, you can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies. Please note that if you reject all cookies, you may not be able to access all functions of this website.

**Google Tag Manager:**

Google Tag Manager is a solution operated by Google Inc. that allows marketed website tags to be managed through one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not register any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which may, in turn, collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

**Google AdWords Conversion:**

Conversion tracking is a tool that shows us what happens after a customer interacts with my ads shown in Google search results. This allows me to see when the person who clicked on my ad purchased one of the services, signed up for my newsletter or a workshop, called me, or sent a message through one of our contact forms. This user behavior data is essential for me to improve my website and evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising. This data is collected exclusively for this purpose and is never linked to your personal data.

**Google Dynamic Remarketing:**

Dynamic remarketing is a practice that allows me to show ads to people who have already visited www.alek.coach. For example, if you visited the page with my AdWords management packages, I would assume that you are interested in such services and show you similar ads in the future.

**Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Data:**

As a data subject, you have the right at any time to request information about your personal data, to correct it, or to delete it. You can also restrict or object to certain types of processing of your personal data, including direct marketing. You are not obliged to provide me with your personal data. If you choose not to share your personal data with me, I may not be able to process some of your requests, and some parts of the website may not load correctly. You can do the following at any time by contacting me via the email address or phone number on my website:

- See what data I have about you, if any.
- Change/correct any data I have about you.
- Have me delete any data I have about you.
- Express any concerns you have about my use of your data.

**Security:**

We take precautions to protect your data. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Whenever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to me in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser or for "https" at the beginning of the URL. We also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g., billing or customer service) are granted access to personal data. The computers/servers on which I store personal data are kept in a secure environment.

**Cookies:**

A cookie is a piece of data stored on a website visitor's hard drive to help us improve your access to my website and identify repeat visitors to my site. For instance, when I use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in with a password more than once, thereby saving time while on my site. Cookies can also enable me to track and target the interests of my users to enhance the experience on my site, such as with Google retargeting ads. The use of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on my site. Some of my business partners may use cookies on my site (e.g., advertisers). However, I have no access to or control over these cookies.

**Links:**

www.alek.coach contains links to other websites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. I encourage my users to be aware when they leave my site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

**How Long I Keep Your Personal Data:**

I will retain your personal data for as long as you are a client or until you decide otherwise. Your data will not be processed for any other purposes than those described in this policy.

**Updates:**

My privacy policy may change from time to time, and all updates will be posted on this page. I encourage all users to read this policy in its entirety before continuing to use www.alek.coach.
