This information may include:

We do not require this information, and we treat anything shared with the same level of confidentiality and care described in this policy and in the coaching agreement signed prior to the start of the coaching work.

Legal Basis for Processing (EU/EEA Visitors)

For visitors located in the European Economic Area, processing of personal data is based on:

  • Your consent, where given (for example, when opting in to updates or accepting non-essential cookies)

  • The legitimate interest of operating and improving the website

  • The performance of a contract, if you engage in coaching services

  • Legal obligations, where applicable

​

Cookies and Analytics

The website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality and analyze usage. Cookies may include:

  • Essential website functionality cookies

  • Analytics cookies (for example, website traffic measurement)

​

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie settings tool or your browser settings.

​

Data Sharing

We only share information when necessary, with trusted service providers such as our website hosting platform, email service provider, scheduling and booking tools, and payment processor. These providers are required to handle data securely and only for the purposes we've requested.

​

We do not share personal information for advertising purposes.

​

International Data Transfers

Because the website may be accessed internationally, information may be processed in countries outside your own jurisdiction, including Chile, where our business is based.

​

Chile does not currently hold an EU adequacy decision. Where we transfer personal data from the EU/EEA to Chile or another country without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure your data continues to be protected in line with applicable privacy laws.

  • Withdraw consent where applicable

  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Residents of certain U.S. states, including California, may also have additional rights under state privacy laws, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@useyouraddiction.com.

​

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to respond to inquiries, provide services, and comply with legal obligations. Information that is no longer needed is securely deleted.

​

Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of internet transmission is completely secure.
