When you use our website, technical connection data is processed that is transmitted to us by your device. This includes the following data:

• IP address
• Browser and version number
• Date and time stamp of the website access

The processing is carried out within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR to provide our online platform, to secure our systems and to ensure technical operability. The provision of the data is technically necessary so that the retrieved content can be delivered to you.

For the provision of our website, we use the AWS, in which the log data is stored. The operator is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL (38. Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxemburg).

In principle, data is not passed on to other third parties. However, relevant data may be passed on to law enforcement authorities in the event of an attack on our systems.

The data is automatically deleted after six months. In the event of criminal proceedings, the data will be deleted after the proceedings have been concluded.

HelloBetter offers you numerous ways to contact us:

• Email
• Chat function on the website
• Telephone
• WhatsApp

As a matter of principle, we process your personal data only to the extent that they are provided by you through a request and are necessary for the further processing of the matter. The categories of personal data processed depend on the chosen method of contact as well as the type and content of the respective user request and may include the following data:

• Email
• Name, if applicable
• Health insurance, if applicable
• Telephone number, if applicable

The data collected is used exclusively for processing your enquiry.

The processing is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR in providing a means of contact for answering and resolving problems regarding our services. If you do not provide us with the necessary data to process your enquiry, it may not be possible to complete the processing of your enquiry.

When you contact us by email, these will be processed by our email server provider Mailgun (Mailgun Technologies, Inc., 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, New Castle, DE, 19808). If your email provider supports TLS transport encryption for sending and receiving, this is used.

Your emails will also be answered via our ticket system Zendesk (Zendesk, Inc., 920 N King ST FL 2, Wilmington, New Castle, DE, 19801). Our chat system is also provided by Zendesk and is used to respond to incoming chat requests.

If you contact us via WhatsApp, please refer to WhatsApp’s privacy policy (operator: WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Irland). We have no influence on data processing on the WhatsApp side. If you send us WhatsApp messages, these will be processed via our Zendesk ticket system.

Your enquiries will be stored until the purposes for which they were collected have been fulfilled and the statutory retention periods have expired. This is regularly the case after 3 years.

HelloBetter operates an online shop where you can purchase access to HelloBetter courses. We only collect the personal data necessary to complete a purchase:

• Name and first name
• Address
• Email
• Means of payment

Your data will be collected and processed exclusively for the purpose of establishing and implementing the purchase contract (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR).

To process your payment, we use the payment service provider Mollie B.V. (Keizersgracht 126, 1015 CW Amsterdam, The Netherlands), which collects the data necessary for the payment method you have chosen and receives the name of the desired product and the price to be charged for it from HelloBetter. Mollie processes all other information on its own responsibility. In particular, we do not receive your payment method information (e.g. credit card number, validity period, verification number, Paypal login). The processing of your personal data by the payment service provider is governed by its privacy policy (https://www.mollie.com/de/privacy).

Your data will be stored until the statutory retention periods expire (e.g. 10 years for invoices).

We offer you the possibility to receive further information about our services via our newsletter. Your email address will be processed for this purpose.

Receipt of the newsletter requires your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) to the processing of your email address. The registration takes place on a voluntary basis. You can revoke your consent at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link that you receive with each newsletter.

If you do not provide us with your email address or revoke your consent, the newsletter cannot be sent to you.

For the newsletter dispatch we use the service provider Mailchimp (The Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave. NE, Ste. 5000, Atlanta, 30308, GA, USA). If you register for the newsletter, the data you enter when registering for the newsletter will be transmitted to Mailchimp and stored there. This allows further personal data to be stored and analysed, in particular the user’s activity (especially which pages have been visited and which elements have been clicked on) and the device and browser information.

With the revocation of your consent, your data processed within the scope of the newsletter registration will be deleted.

HelloBetter offers you the option of contacting us by telephone. Personal connection data is automatically collected during a call. If you do not use number suppression, we will receive your telephone number with the call. Our telephone system also records the time and duration of the call.

The data collected is used exclusively to process your enquiry.

This data is collected on the basis of our legitimate interest (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) in documenting the call and the matter in question so that we can help you efficiently with existing and future enquiries.

A call is made on a voluntary basis by you. If you provide us with further personal data during the call, this is an expression of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR that we may process this data to handle the matter. If you provide our psychologists with health data during a call, e.g. about your mental state, this is also done voluntarily by you (Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time. Processing up until receipt of the revocation is not affected by this.

Our psychologists are bound to confidentiality and are not permitted to pass on your information. There is an exception for people who have been diagnosed with suicidal tendencies. In these cases, we are obliged to provide the telephone number and – if known – the name and location to the police.

To provide the hotline, we use Amazon Connect, a service from AWS (operator: Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg) and Zendesk (Zendesk, Inc., 920 N King ST FL 2, Wilmington, New Castle, DE, 19801). The connection data is stored within the telephone system for 24 months. The connection data is stored on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest in protecting our infrastructure by tracking and preventing misuse and analysing it in the form of call statistics.

We use the services of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) for the purposes of measuring reach and monitoring the success of advertising campaigns. These services include the web analysis service Google Analytics with the aid of Google Tag Manager.

Google Analytics is only used if you give your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Google Analytics collects numerous data that allow conclusions to be drawn about your use of our website, e.g.

• links clicked on,
• time spent on a page,
• browser name and version number,
• operating system,
• country of origin, etc.

HelloBetter does not have direct access to the data collected by Google Analytics. These are only displayed to HelloBetter by Google in aggregated and anonymised form. Google may also enrich this data with additional data that Google receives through the use of other Google services (e.g. Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, etc.).

The storage period of the collected data is 13 months. After that, this data is anonymised according to Google. Further information on data processing by Google can be found here.

You can prevent the collection as well as the processing of your personal data by Google by preventing third-party cookies from being stored on your computer, by using the “Do Not Track” function of a supporting browser, by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or by installing a script blocker such as uBlock or Ghostery in your browser.

You can deactivate the use of your personal data by Google by visiting this link.
