1. Introduction and Data Controller

Ankleswyvibrant, located at Stigbergstorget 1, 414 63 Gothenburg, Sweden, operates the website ankleswyvibrant.world and is the data controller responsible for the processing of personal data collected through this website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Swedish Data Protection Act (Dataskyddslagen), and other applicable international data protection legislation.

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors of our website, users of our contact forms, recipients of our educational content, and participants in our consulting and guidance programs. By accessing our website or submitting personal data through any of our channels, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

If you have questions about this policy or wish to exercise your data protection rights, you may contact us at assist@ankleswyvibrant.world or by phone at +46 31 14 33 00. We aim to respond to all privacy-related inquiries within thirty days.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We collect personal data only when it is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. The categories of personal data we may collect include the following:

2.1 Data You Provide Directly

When you complete our contact form, register for an educational program, or communicate with us via email or phone, we may collect your full name, email address, telephone number, message content, and any additional information you choose to provide. If you purchase a consulting program or educational product, we may also collect billing address and payment-related information, though payment processing may be handled by third-party payment providers who maintain their own privacy policies.

2.2 Data Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical data may be collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, referring URL, pages visited, time and date of access, and time spent on each page. This data is collected only when you have provided consent for non-essential cookies, except for strictly necessary cookies required for website functionality.

2.3 Data from Third Parties

We do not routinely purchase or receive personal data from third-party data brokers. In limited circumstances, we may receive referral information from business partners when you have been directed to our services through a collaborative arrangement, in which case the referring party should have obtained your consent for such data sharing.

3. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

We process your personal data only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. The primary purposes and corresponding legal bases under GDPR Article 6 are as follows:

Responding to inquiries: When you contact us through our contact form or email, we process your name, email, and message content to respond to your request. Legal basis: legitimate interest in communicating with prospective and existing clients, or consent where explicitly requested.
Providing educational services: When you enroll in our consulting, guidance, or educational programs, we process your data to deliver the agreed services, manage your account, and communicate about program content. Legal basis: performance of a contract.
Website functionality: Strictly necessary cookies and technical logs are processed to ensure the secure and proper functioning of our website. Legal basis: legitimate interest in maintaining a functional and secure website.
Analytics and improvement: With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve content and user experience. Legal basis: consent.
Marketing communications: With your consent, we may send you information about new educational resources, programs, or planning content relevant to freelancers and creatives. Legal basis: consent. You may withdraw consent at any time.
Legal compliance: We may process and retain data as required by applicable laws, including tax regulations, consumer protection laws, and responses to lawful requests from public authorities. Legal basis: legal obligation.

4. Data Retention Periods

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Our standard retention periods are as follows:

Contact form submissions and general inquiries: up to twelve months from the date of last communication, unless an ongoing business relationship exists.
Client and program participant records: for the duration of the service relationship plus six years thereafter, in accordance with Swedish accounting and commercial record-keeping requirements.
Cookie consent preferences: stored locally on your device until you clear browser data or withdraw consent.
Analytics data: anonymized or pseudonymized data retained for up to twenty-six months, after which it is deleted or further anonymized.
Marketing consent records: retained for as long as consent is active, plus three years after withdrawal to demonstrate compliance.

When retention periods expire, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share personal data with the following categories of recipients under strict data processing agreements:

Website hosting and infrastructure providers who store and deliver our website content.
Email service providers who facilitate communication with clients and inquiry responses.
Analytics service providers, only when you have consented to analytics cookies.
Payment processors for handling transactions related to educational programs and consulting services.
Professional advisors such as accountants or legal counsel, when necessary for business operations and subject to confidentiality obligations.

All third-party processors are required to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data and to process data only according to our documented instructions. Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

6. Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers, access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, regular security assessments of our systems and processes, secure storage of physical and digital records, and staff training on data protection principles and incident response procedures.

While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but commit to notifying relevant supervisory authorities and affected individuals of any data breach within seventy-two hours where required by GDPR Article 33 and 34.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights regarding your personal data, subject to applicable limitations and exceptions:

Right of access (Article 15): You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data along with information about processing purposes, categories, recipients, and retention periods.
Right to rectification (Article 16): You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Right to erasure (Article 17): You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary, consent has been withdrawn, or processing is unlawful, subject to legal retention obligations.
Right to restriction (Article 18): You may request that we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as while accuracy is being verified.
Right to data portability (Article 20): Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Right to object (Article 21): You may object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to file a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY) at imy.se if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at assist@ankleswyvibrant.world with sufficient information to verify your identity. We will respond within one month, which may be extended by two additional months for complex requests.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are directed at adult freelancers and creative professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under sixteen years of age. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal requirements, or website functionality. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via email or a prominent notice on our website.
