How I handle your details
In short
- I collect only what you type into the waitlist and survey.
- I use it to tell you when the mentoring circle opens and to shape what I offer.
- I don't sell it, and I don't use advertising or tracking cookies.
- You can ask me to see, correct or delete your details at any time.
Who is responsible
This website and waitlist are run by Michael Renfer, who is responsible for your personal data (the "controller" under data protection law). For any question about your data, or to use any of your rights, email:
micrenfer (at) yahoo.com
What I collect
| When | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You join the waitlist | First name, email address, the kind of work you do, your agreement to receive emails, and the date and time | To contact you about the mentoring circle |
| You answer the survey | Your answers, plus your name and email so I can link them to your sign-up | To understand what you need and design the programme, timing and price around it |
| You visit any page | Technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested | To deliver the website and keep it secure |
Some survey answers describe how you're feeling at work. Please share only what you're comfortable with. I don't ask for medical details, and this mentoring is not a substitute for medical or psychological care.
Legal basis
- Consent for the waitlist emails and the survey answers. You give it by ticking the box and sending the form, and you can withdraw it at any time.
- Legitimate interest for the technical data needed to run the website and protect it from abuse.
How I use it
- To email you about the mentoring circle: when it opens, what it includes and how to join.
- To read the survey answers and decide how to shape the programme. I may share overall results, such as "most people chose X", but never anything that identifies you.
- I may reply to you personally if you wrote something in the survey that I'd like to understand better.
Every email I send includes a way to unsubscribe.
Who else processes it
I don't sell or rent your details. The only service that handles them on my behalf is:
- Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) hosts this website and stores the waitlist and survey answers in its database. It may process data outside Switzerland, the UK and the EU. Cloudflare protects such transfers with the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and equivalent safeguards in its data processing terms.
- Google Fonts supplies the typefaces on this page. Your browser requests them from Google's servers, which receive your IP address.
If I start using an email service to send updates, I'll add it here before sending.
How long I keep it
I keep waitlist details and survey answers until you ask me to remove them, or until 24 months after the mentoring circle first opens, whichever comes first. After that I delete them. Website technical logs are kept by Cloudflare for a short period, usually a few days.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, including the EU, the UK and Switzerland, you have the right to:
- see the data I hold about you and get a copy of it,
- correct anything that's wrong,
- have your data deleted,
- withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting anything done before,
- object to or limit how I use your data,
- receive your data in a common format to take elsewhere.
To do any of this, email the address above. I'll reply within 30 days. You can also complain to a data protection authority, such as the one in your country, the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), or the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
Security
Your details are sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and stored in a database that only I can access, protected by a password.
Changes
If I change how I use your data, I'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change is significant, I'll tell you by email before it takes effect.
