5. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/EEA/UK Clients)
If you are located in the EU, EEA, or UK, we rely on the following legal bases under GDPR to process your personal data:

● Explicit consent: for health data (a special category of data under GDPR Article 9), which we collect only with your explicit, separately obtained consent, and for optional marketing communications and any session recordings
● Legitimate interests: for Site analytics, security, and improving our Services, balanced against your rights and interests
● Legal obligation: where processing is required to comply with tax, accounting, or other legal requirements
You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting hello@ginkakostova.com. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal, and may affect our ability to continue providing the Services to you.
6. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:
● Service providers who process data on our behalf under contractual confidentiality obligations, including Kajabi (course delivery and payments), Calendly (scheduling), Google Workspace (file storage and communication), and WhatsApp (client messaging)
● Other health professionals or mentors, on a limited, need-to-know basis, when we believe consultation would benefit your care; your identity is protected in these consultations and your name is not disclosed unless you separately agree
● Legal and safety purposes, where disclosure is required to comply with a law, regulation, court order, or valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our clients, or the public
● Business transfers, in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy or a policy at least as protective
● With your direction, such as when you ask us to share information with your physician or another provider
7. International Data Transfers
We are based in the United States, and our service providers may process data in the United States or other countries. If you are located in the EU/EEA/UK, your information may be transferred outside your region. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, and we work with service providers that maintain appropriate data protection commitments. You may contact us for more information about the safeguards in place.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the Site (for example, through analytics tools). You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality. Where required by law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, maintain our business records, and comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Health-related intake and session data is generally retained for the duration of our working relationship and for a reasonable period afterward to support continuity of care and meet recordkeeping obligations, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized, unless a longer retention period is required by law or you request earlier deletion in accordance with Section 11.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information, including restricted access to client files and use of reputable third-party platforms for storage and communication. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. As noted in our Terms and Conditions, standard email and WhatsApp are not fully encrypted, HIPAA-grade secure channels; please consider this when sharing highly sensitive information through those channels.
If we become aware of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and any applicable regulator as required by applicable law.
