Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how personal data collected through the Cool Vibes for Life website and its associated contact channels is processed. Personal data is processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 — the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) — and all other applicable legislation.

Business activity: Feng Shui Studio by Verónica dos Santos
Operator of the Cool Vibes for Life website

General Information
Personal data is processed only where necessary to provide the website, respond to requests, enter into or perform contracts, comply with legal obligations, or protect legitimate interests relating to the security and operation of the business.
Depending on the purpose, processing is based on consent, steps taken prior to entering into a contract, the performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests, pursuant to Article 6(1) of the GDPR.
Personal data is not sold. No decisions are made solely by automated means, and no profiling is carried out that produces legal effects concerning visitors.
Hosting and Access Data
This website was created and is hosted on the Wix platform. When you access its pages, Wix may automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, the date and time of access, the page visited, the referring page, browser, operating system and device type.
This data is necessary to display the website correctly, maintain its security, prevent misuse and resolve technical issues. Processing is based on the legitimate interest in maintaining a functional and secure website, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Wix processes data on behalf of the website operator in accordance with its applicable terms and data processing agreement. Further information is available in the Wix Privacy Policy.
Contact Form and Email
When the contact form is used, the information entered in the relevant fields is processed, including your name, email address, message and any other information provided voluntarily.
This data is used to receive, assess and respond to your request. Where the enquiry concerns a potential consultation or the provision of services, processing is based on steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract, pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. In all other cases, processing is based on the legitimate interest in responding to communications received, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Fields marked as required are necessary to provide a response. Without this information, it may not be possible to process your request.
Communications may be received and managed through Gmail, a service provided by Google. The contact form is not intended for particularly sensitive information, including health data. Please do not include this type of information in your initial message.
Further information is available in the Google Privacy Policy.
Wix Analytics and Google Analytics
This website uses Wix Analytics and Google Analytics to obtain statistical information about how its pages are used, assess content performance, and improve functionality and navigation.
With your consent, these tools may process data such as the pages visited, approximate visit duration, traffic source, interactions, approximate location, device type, browser and technical identifiers.
The use of non-essential cookies and analytics technologies is subject to your prior consent, pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Refusing consent does not prevent access to the website’s essential functions.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time through the Cookie Settings available in the footer.
Further information is available in the Google Privacy Policy and Google’s guidance on safeguarding data in Google Analytics.
Cookies
The website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are strictly necessary to display its pages, maintain security, remember essential preferences and provide the requested functionality. These may be used without consent where permitted under Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).
Analytics, non-essential functional and marketing cookies, where used, are activated only after consent has been given. Simply continuing to browse the website does not constitute consent.
The cookie banner allows visitors to accept, reject or configure the different categories. Preferences may subsequently be changed through the Cookie Settings available in the footer. The providers, purposes and retention periods of the cookies used can be viewed in the relevant panel and on the Cookies page.
External Links
This website may contain links to Instagram profiles, YouTube content and other external websites. Where content is presented solely as a link, no direct connection to the external platform is established before the link is selected.
After selecting an external link, visitors become subject to the terms and privacy practices of the entity responsible for the destination platform. The operator of Cool Vibes for Life has no control over the processing carried out by those entities.
YouTube content is currently provided through external links rather than embedded videos. Any future integration of videos, social media feeds, maps or other external content will require a review of this Privacy Policy and the relevant consent settings.
Data Retention and Sharing
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Once that purpose no longer applies, the data is deleted or rendered anonymous, unless its retention is required to comply with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Personal data may be processed by service providers required for the operation of the website and the management of communications, including Wix and Google. Access is limited to those providers that require the data to perform their respective functions.
Personal data is neither sold nor disclosed to third parties for their own commercial purposes. It may be disclosed where necessary to comply with a legal obligation, respond to a competent authority or protect legitimate rights.
International Data Transfers
The use of Wix and Google may involve the processing of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where an international transfer takes place, it must be based on a European Commission adequacy decision or other legally recognised safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses and, where necessary, supplementary protection measures.
Further information about the applicable safeguards may be requested at studio8.veronicadossantos@gmail.com.
Data Subject Rights
Under applicable law, you may request:
-
access to your personal data;
-
rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
-
erasure of your data, where legally permitted;
-
restriction of processing;
-
data portability, where applicable;
-
objection to processing based on legitimate interests;
-
withdrawal of previously given consent.
Withdrawal of consent takes effect for the future and does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before its withdrawal.
Requests may be sent to studio8.veronicadossantos@gmail.com. Where there are reasonable doubts concerning the identity of the person making the request, additional information may be required for verification.
Requests are handled within the statutory time limits and, as a rule, free of charge. Certain rights may be subject to limitations established by law, particularly where data retention is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Supervisory Authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable law.
The competent supervisory authority for the data controller based in Hamburg is:
The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
(Der Hamburgische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit)
Ludwig-Erhard-Straße 22
20459 Hamburg
Germany
datenschutz-hamburg.de
You may also lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority responsible for your habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
Security
Appropriate technical and organisational measures are implemented to protect personal data against loss, alteration, disclosure, access or unauthorised use.
This website uses an encrypted SSL/TLS connection. Despite the safeguards in place, no transmission of data over the Internet can be considered entirely free from risk.

This Privacy Policy may be updated in response to legal, technical or functional changes, including the introduction of new services or platforms.
