Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 29 May 2025

I take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what personal data I collect, how I use it, and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Who I Am

I’m Anna Gerasimova, an independent organisational development consultant based in the European Union. You can contact me at:

📧 Email: contact@gerasimova.consulting
🌐 Website: https://gerasimova.consulting

2. What Data I Collect — and Why

I only collect the data I need to respond to your enquiries, hold meetings, or send useful content.

When you use the contact form:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Any other information you choose to share

✅ Purpose: To respond to your enquiry and start a conversation.

When you book a call with me:

  • Name
  • Organisation (if provided)
  • Email address
  • Any other contact details or notes you choose to share

✅ Purpose: To confirm the appointment, prepare for our call, and follow up afterwards.

If you subscribe to a newsletter (future feature):

  • Email address
  • Name (optional)

✅ Purpose: To send occasional updates, insights, or resources you’ve signed up for.

3. How I Use Your Data

  • To respond to your messages
  • To hold scheduled calls or meetings
  • To send you emails you’ve opted into
  • To improve my services (e.g. anonymous analytics)

I never sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

4. Trusted Third-Party Services

To run this website and deliver my services, I may share your data with trusted providers — such as:

  • Email newsletter tools (e.g. Mailchimp, MailerLite)
  • Online scheduling tools (e.g. Calendly)
  • Website analytics providers (e.g. Google Analytics, Plausible)
  • Web hosting platforms

These providers only access your data when necessary and are required to process it securely and in compliance with data protection laws, including the GDPR.

Some providers may process data outside the EU. In such cases, they must ensure adequate safeguards are in place — such as standard contractual clauses or approved certifications.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the GDPR, I rely on:

  • Consent – when you give clear permission (e.g. subscribing to a newsletter)
  • Legitimate interest – for replying to messages, holding meetings, and running my website

6. How I Store Your Data

Your data is stored securely on third-party platforms I use for email, contact forms, scheduling, or analytics. I take reasonable measures to keep it safe and protect it from unauthorised access.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data I hold about you
  • Ask me to correct or delete it
  • Withdraw your consent at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise your rights, contact me at contact@gerasimova.consulting.

8. Cookies and Analytics

This site may use cookies or tracking tools to understand how visitors use the site. If so, a cookie banner will ask for your consent where required.

Tools like Google Analytics or Plausible help improve the website — but any usage will respect your privacy and comply with applicable law.

You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

9. Updates to This Policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available here, with the date of the last update clearly indicated.
