2. Personal Data We May Process
Depending on how you interact with the website, Payhip store, course, or email services, we may process:
- your name;
- email address;
- billing country and other billing information;
- order and transaction details;
- products or course access purchased;
- messages and information you voluntarily provide when contacting us;
- newsletter subscription information;
- technical information such as IP address, browser/device information, and cookie-related data where applicable.
We do not directly store your full credit or debit card details. Payment information is processed by the relevant payment providers.
3. Why We Process Your Data
We process personal data only where there is a valid purpose and legal basis. These purposes include:
Performance of a contract
- processing your order;
- providing access to the GEO Decision Course and related digital resources;
- maintaining access to purchased course content;
- providing customer support;
- communicating with you about your purchase or course access.
Legal obligations
- maintaining records where required for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, or other legal obligations.
Consent
- sending marketing emails, product updates, or promotional communications where your consent is required;
- using non-essential cookies or analytics where consent is required.
Legitimate interests
- maintaining the security and functionality of the service;
- preventing abuse, fraud, and unauthorized access;
- improving the course, customer experience, and technical operation of the service where this does not override your rights and freedoms.
4. Payhip
The GEO Decision Course is sold and delivered through Payhip.
Payhip processes customer and transaction-related information necessary to operate the storefront, checkout, customer accounts, and digital course delivery.
When you make a purchase, information such as your name, email address, country, order details, and other checkout information may be processed through Payhip.
Payhip may also use cookies and similar technologies for the operation of its platform. Non-essential analytics cookies are subject to the cookie and consent settings configured for the store.
5. Payment Processing
Payments may be processed through:
- Stripe
- PayPal
These providers process payment and transaction information under their own privacy and security policies.
We do not receive or store your full payment card number.
Payment providers may process information such as your name, billing details, payment method information, transaction amount, device information, and fraud-prevention data where necessary to process and secure payments.
6. Email Marketing and MailerLite
We use MailerLite to manage email subscriptions and email communications.
Where required by law, marketing emails are sent only after you have provided appropriate consent.
For customers located in the EU or UK, Payhip displays an email marketing consent option at checkout. If you do not select that option, Payhip does not add you to the connected mailing list.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the email.
Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect service-related communications that are necessary to provide a product or course you purchased.
7. Cookies and Analytics
The website and Payhip store may use:
- essential cookies required for site functionality, security, login, checkout, and course access;
- optional analytics cookies where enabled and permitted.
Where consent is legally required, optional analytics cookies are not used until consent has been provided through the cookie banner.
You may adjust or withdraw your cookie choices where the platform provides this functionality.
8. Sharing of Personal Data
We do not sell your personal data.
Personal data may be shared only where reasonably necessary with service providers involved in operating the business, including:
- Payhip — storefront, checkout, customer accounts, and course delivery;
- Stripe — payment processing;
- PayPal — payment processing;
- MailerLite — email list and email communication management;
- professional advisers such as accountants where necessary;
- public authorities where disclosure is required by law.
Service providers process data according to their respective contractual and legal obligations.
9. International Data Transfers
Some service providers may process personal data outside Germany or the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, the relevant service provider is responsible for applying legally required safeguards, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other recognized transfer mechanisms where applicable.
10. Data Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any applicable legal, accounting, tax, contractual, or dispute-resolution requirements.
For example:
- purchase and transaction records may be retained where required by tax or accounting law;
- customer support communications may be retained while necessary to resolve or document an issue;
- marketing subscription data is retained until you unsubscribe or the data is no longer required for that purpose.
We follow the GDPR principle that personal data should not be kept longer than necessary.
11. Your Rights
Where the GDPR applies, you may have the right to:
- request access to your personal data;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- request deletion of your personal data where legally applicable;
- request restriction of processing;
- object to certain processing;
- request data portability where applicable;
- withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
12. Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe that your personal data has been processed unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority in the European Union.
As the controller is based in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, you may contact the competent data protection supervisory authority for Baden-Württemberg.
13. Data Security
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
14. Children
The GEO Decision Course is intended for adult users and professional or business-related educational purposes.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children where parental or guardian consent would be required by applicable law.
