Email: hello@thetrademechanic.com

For any question about your data, or to use your rights, write to this address.

2. Visiting this website

The website is hosted by Cloudflare (CHECK: Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you open a page, your browser sends technical data such as your IP address, the time, the page requested and your browser type. Cloudflare processes this data to deliver the page and to protect it against attacks. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Cloudflare is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework; we have a data processing agreement with Cloudflare.

This website uses no analytics and sets no cookies of its own. The fonts are stored on this server; no request goes to Google.

3. The free pack and the newsletter

When you sign up for the free pack, we process your email address and, if you give it, your first name. You receive:

• a confirmation email (double opt-in): only after you click the button in it is your address added to the list;
• an email with the download link for the free pack;
• a short series of emails on how to use the skills, and after that occasional emails about new videos, tools and our own products.

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time with the unsubscribe link in every email or by writing to us. Withdrawing does not affect the lawfulness of what happened before. We keep your data until you unsubscribe; we keep a record of the sign-up and the confirmation (time, IP address) as proof of your consent for as long as we may need it.

Email provider. We send the emails with MailerLite (CHECK: UAB “MailerLite”, Vilnius, Lithuania; see the current MailerLite DPA). MailerLite stores your data on our behalf under a data processing agreement and may use sub-processors, some of them outside the EU; where that is the case, transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the EU standard contractual clauses. The sign-up form on this page is loaded from MailerLite's servers, which means your IP address reaches MailerLite when the form is shown.

Opens and clicks. Our emails contain a small tracking pixel and tracked links, so we can see whether an email was opened and which links were clicked. We use this only to improve the emails. This is part of your consent above. CHECK: if you switch tracking off in MailerLite, delete this paragraph.

4. Emails you send us

If you write to us or reply to an email, we use your message and address to answer you (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR). Our mailbox: FILL IN: e.g. Cloudflare Email Routing forwards to a Google Gmail account (Google Ireland Ltd., Dublin).

5. Links to YouTube and other sites

This website links to our YouTube channel and to other websites but does not embed them. Only when you click a link does the other site receive data from you; its own privacy policy applies.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority; in Austria this is the Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, www.dsb.gv.at.

7. Changes

We update this policy when the website or our tools change. The current version is always on this page.
