Where personal data is transferred to countries whose level of data protection may differ from that of your country of residence, we ensure that appropriate legal safeguards are applied.

If functions requiring such processing are used in the future, this will take place solely in accordance with applicable legal requirements and, where necessary, following prior notification or consent.
29. Confidentiality of Our Coaching Services
All information that you voluntarily provide to us in connection with coaching inquiries or coaching sessions is treated with the utmost care and confidentiality.
