Privacy Policy — Laura Aligned

Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Laura Aligned ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal data when you visit lauraligned.com (the "Website"), download our resources, book a call with us, follow us on social media, or otherwise interact with our business.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and to processing your personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

1. Who We Are

This Website and the services described in this policy are operated by Laura Renders, trading as Laura Aligned ("we," "us," or "our"), based in the European Union.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal data, please contact us at the email address above.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

We only collect personal data that you provide to us directly, or that is generated automatically through your use of the Website. This includes:

  • Contact details — Name, email address

  • Communications — Messages you send us, call notes, coaching session notes

  • Booking information — Name, email, time zone, call notes

  • Technical/usage data — IP address, browser type, pages visited, time on site, referral source

  • Payment information — Name, billing details, payment method (we do not store full card numbers)

We do not knowingly collect any special category data (e.g., health, religious beliefs, sexual orientation) and ask that you don't share this kind of information with us unless it's directly relevant to coaching work you've asked us to support you with.

3. Why We Collect Your Data and Our Legal Basis

Under GDPR, we must have a valid legal basis for every way we use your personal data. Here's how that breaks down:

  • Send you the free guide ("Why do I feel stuck") — Deliver the PDF to your inbox and add you to our email list. Legal basis: Consent — you opt in by entering your email

  • Send you coaching tips, offers, and updates by email — Email marketing/newsletter. Legal basis: Consent — you can withdraw this at any time

  • Respond to your enquiries — Reply to messages sent via email, contact form, or Instagram. Legal basis: Legitimate interest (responding to people who contact us)

  • Book and conduct your free "Back to Shore Call" — Schedule and run the call, take notes to support our conversation. Legal basis: Consent / Legitimate interest in providing the service you requested

  • Deliver paid coaching services — Process payment, deliver sessions, communicate about your program. Legal basis: Performance of a contract with you

  • Process payments — Charge you for paid services and handle refunds. Legal basis: Performance of a contract and legal obligation (accounting/tax records)

  • Understand how people use our Website — Website analytics (e.g., Google Analytics). Legal basis: Consent, obtained via our cookie banner

  • Improve and protect our Website and business — Security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting. Legal basis: Legitimate interest

Where we rely on consent (for example, our email list or analytics cookies), you can withdraw that consent at any time — see Section 8 ("Your Rights") for how.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We don't sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted service providers ("processors") who help us run our business, and only to the extent necessary for them to provide their service. These include the following categories of recipients:

  • Email and communication providers — to send you the lead magnet and email updates

  • Scheduling and booking providers — to manage bookings for calls with us

  • Website hosting and business management providers — to host and run the Website

  • Payment processors — to process payments for paid coaching services, if and when these are offered

  • Social media platforms — if you contact us via social media, that platform processes your message under its own privacy policy

Each of these providers acts as an independent data controller or processor and has its own privacy policy governing how it handles your data. We only work with providers who offer appropriate safeguards in line with GDPR.

We may also disclose your data if required to do so by law, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.

5. International Data Transfers

Some of the service providers listed above are based in, or transfer data to, the United States or other countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where this happens, we ensure the transfer is protected by an appropriate safeguard recognized under GDPR, such as:

  • An adequacy decision by the European Commission (e.g., the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework), or

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission

You can request more information about the specific safeguards in place by contacting us at [email protected].

6. Cookies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Essential cookies — necessary for the Website to function (e.g., remembering your cookie preferences). These don't require consent.

  • Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Website (e.g., Google Analytics). These are only set with your consent.

  • Marketing cookies — if we run social media or advertising campaigns (e.g., a Meta/Instagram pixel), these track engagement with our ads. These are only set with your consent.

When you first visit the Website, you'll be asked to accept or decline non-essential cookies via a cookie banner. You can change your preferences at any time through your browser settings or the cookie banner itself.

7. How Long We Keep Your Data

We only keep personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

  • Email list/marketing data: until you unsubscribe or request deletion

  • Enquiry and call-related communications: typically up to 24 months from our last contact, unless you ask us to delete it sooner

  • Client/coaching records: for the duration of our working relationship plus a reasonable period afterward, to comply with our legal and accounting obligations

  • Payment and invoicing records: as required by applicable tax and accounting law (typically 7 years in most EU countries)

  • Website analytics data: as configured in our analytics tool, typically no longer than 26 months

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the EEA (or otherwise protected by GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data

  • Erase your data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to certain legal exceptions

  • Restrict how we use your data

  • Object to processing based on legitimate interest or for direct marketing

  • Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format

  • Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent (e.g., unsubscribing from emails)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding. We'll respond within one month, as required by GDPR.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe we have not handled your data appropriately. You can find your relevant authority via the European Data Protection Board: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en

9. How We Protect Your Data

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including using reputable service providers with their own security standards, restricting access to your data to what's necessary, and using secure connections (SSL) on the Website. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

The Website and our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example as our business, tools, or legal obligations change. We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we do. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
