Information Regarding the Collection of Personal Data

Below we inform you about the processing of personal data when using our website. Personal data includes all data that can be related to you personally, such as name, address, email address, and user behavior. Our aim is to inform you transparently about our data processing activities and to comply with our legal obligations, particularly those arising from the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The responsible party pursuant to Art. 4(7) GDPR is:
Eva Pasini, address available upon request, info@takeabreathtoday.com

When you contact us by email or via our contact form, we store the data you provide so that we can answer your inquiry. Data arising in this context will be deleted once the storage is no longer necessary, unless the inquiry relates to an existing contract — in that case the data will be stored for the duration of the contractual retention period. If legal retention obligations apply, we will restrict data processing instead of deleting the data.

If we use commissioned service providers for certain functions of our offering or if we would like to use your data for promotional purposes, we will carefully select and monitor such service providers and will inform you in detail below about the respective processes as well as the applicable storage duration criteria.

  • Right to rectification or erasure
  • Right to restriction of processing
  • Right to object to processing
  • Right to data portability

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data.

Processing of Personal Data During Visits to Our Website

When you use our website for informational purposes only — i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us — we process only those personal data that your browser transmits to our server. These data are technically necessary to display the website and to ensure stability and security. The legal basis is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Content of the request (specific page accessed)
  • Access status / HTTP status code
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Previously visited page (referrer)
  • Browser
  • Operating system
  • Language and version of browser software

Additional Functions and Services of Our Website

In addition to purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you may use if interested and we may also utilize conventional analytics or marketing functions, which are described in more detail below. For these purposes, you may need to provide additional personal data, or we process additional data that we require in order to provide the respective services.

In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These service providers are selected carefully, bound by our instructions, and regularly monitored.

Where service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area, we will inform you of the implications in the relevant section of this policy.

Objection to or Revocation of Processing of Your Data

If you have given consent to the processing of your personal data, you may revoke it at any time. Such a revocation affects the lawfulness of data processing only from the time you declare it to us — the processing conducted up until that point remains lawful.

Where processing of your personal data is based on a balancing of interests, you may object to the processing. This applies particularly when processing is not required for the performance of a contract with you, as described in the respective functional descriptions. If you exercise such an objection, please provide reasons as to why we should not process your personal data as we have been doing. In such a case, we will review the situation and will either cease or adjust processing or demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for continuing processing.
