This policy applies to this website and signup for the this.is.anabel email community.
2. When you visit our website
We use ChatGPT Sites by OpenAI and Cloudflare’s technical infrastructure to make this website available. OpenAI identifies OpenAI Ireland Limited, 1st Floor, The Liffey Trust Centre, 117–126 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1, D01 YC43, Ireland, as its responsible entity for the European Economic Area.
Technical data such as your IP address, the page requested, date, time, browser and operating system information are processed when you visit. This enables delivery and secure operation of the website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a functioning, secure website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Technical logs are retained according to their purpose, such as resolving faults, and the hosting provider’s policies. We have not been given a specific deletion period for Sites. Further details are available in OpenAI’s privacy policy.
3. Our newsletter and Klaviyo
Our email newsletter shares updates about our community, products and offers, as well as cycles and lifestyle. When you sign up, we process your email address and selected language so we can send the appropriate language version, along with any other information you voluntarily provide. The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The direct signup form works regardless of your cookie choice. It does not load a Klaviyo tracking script and sends your email address only when you submit it. Technically necessary connection data, such as your IP address, are also processed. Our form does not send existing cookies or grant consent to email open or click tracking. The same form remains available after acceptance; the optional Klaviyo visitor analytics script may then also load.
With double opt-in, you receive an email containing a confirmation link after signing up. Your signup is completed only after confirmation. Whether this step is triggered depends on the settings of the relevant Klaviyo list. Signup and confirmation times and your IP address may be logged as evidence. Confirmation and logging serve our legitimate interest in preventing misuse and demonstrating a valid signup (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Analysis of newsletter opens and clicked links at an individual level takes place only with corresponding consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, to tailor content to interests. Your cookie choice on this website does not replace that consent.
We use Klaviyo, Inc., 125 Summer Street, Floor 6, Boston, MA 02111, USA, to manage and send newsletters. Klaviyo processes the data on our behalf. Data may be transferred to servers in the United States. Klaviyo states that it is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Transfers covered by that framework rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decision under Article 45 GDPR. Its data processing agreement also provides for EU Standard Contractual Clauses under Article 46 GDPR. See Klaviyo’s privacy notice and data processing agreement and transfer safeguards for details.
You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future via the unsubscribe link in a newsletter or by emailing anabel@herochamber.com. Processing before withdrawal remains lawful. Signup is voluntary; we cannot send the newsletter without an email address.
4. Your cookie and language choices
Use “Accept” or “Reject” to decide whether we may load the optional Klaviyo script for visitor recognition and analytics. Both options are available directly in the banner. Without consent, our site code does not load the optional Klaviyo tracking script. The rest of the website and the direct newsletter form remain available after rejection. In that case, the connection to Klaviyo’s signup endpoint is made only when you submit the form.
With your consent, Klaviyo may process your IP address, browser information and form interactions, and use cookies such as __kla_id to recognise you. After identification, browsing data may be linked to a profile. The legal bases are Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and section 25(1) of Germany’s TDDDG. Section 3 describes the provider and transfer safeguards. Klaviyo’s cookie overview explains cookie types and lifetimes.
We store your choice, timestamp and text version in your browser under anabel_privacy_choice for up to 180 days. Acceptance and rejection are treated equally. This storage is used only to manage your privacy choice (section 25(2)(2) TDDDG; Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We ask again after expiry or a material change. If browser storage is blocked, your choice applies only to the open page.
You can reopen in the footer and withdraw consent by selecting “Reject”. If the tracking script is already loaded, the page reloads to stop further Klaviyo requests. We delete known Klaviyo cookies and storage entries accessible to our website. You can remove cookies outside our access through your browser settings. Withdrawal applies going forward and does not retrospectively delete data already sent.
If there is a technical problem, an email signup fallback prepares a message to pascal@herochamber.com in your email app. It reaches us only when you send it. Cookie acceptance is neither a newsletter signup nor consent to individual email open or click tracking; those require the corresponding separate consents. The privacy policy page itself does not load a Klaviyo tracking script.
Our website fonts are hosted locally or available on your device. Google Fonts is not contacted for these fonts. With consent, the optional Klaviyo script may load additional resources.
When you explicitly select a language, we remember it in your browser under anabel_language_choice for up to 180 days to suggest the appropriate version. The legal bases are section 25(2)(2) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Without a saved choice, we use your browser’s language setting for an optional suggestion, without checking your location. The language selected when you submit the form is sent to Klaviyo as your newsletter preference.
5. Data processing by our hosting provider
When OpenAI hosts the website, data may also be processed outside the European Economic Area, particularly in the United States. OpenAI cites adequacy decisions and EU Standard Contractual Clauses as transfer safeguards. See OpenAI’s privacy policy for details. Information about Klaviyo is in the newsletter section.
6. How long we keep your data
We use your newsletter data to send emails while you are subscribed. Marketing use stops when you unsubscribe. A minimal suppression record may remain to prevent accidental further contact. We retain evidence of consent for as long as needed to meet legal obligations or defend legal claims. Other data are deleted once their purpose ends and no retention obligation applies.
7. Contact and social media
When you write to us, we use your contact details and message to respond. Article 6(1)(b) GDPR applies to contract-related enquiries; otherwise we rely on our legitimate interest in answering your request (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We delete the data when the matter is resolved unless there are further reasons to retain it.
Instagram and TikTok are included as ordinary links. You visit those platforms only when you click a link. Their providers’ privacy policies then apply.
8. Your rights and how to contact us
Subject to the legal conditions, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability (Articles 15–20 GDPR). You may withdraw consent at any time for the future (Article 7(3) GDPR).
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation. You may object to direct marketing, including related profiling, at any time without giving a reason (Article 21 GDPR).
