Privacy Notice

Last updated: 31 August 2026

This Privacy Notice explains how personal information is collected, used and protected when you visit talkwithkaspars.com, contact me, book a conversation or use the services offered through Talk with Kaspars.

1. Who is responsible for your information?

The person responsible for processing your personal information is:

Kaspars Daktiņš
Operator of Talk with Kaspars
Website: talkwithkaspars.com
Email: hello@talkwithkaspars.com

In data-protection terms, I am the data controller.

2. Information I may collect

Depending on how you interact with the website and service, I may collect:

• Your name and email address

• Information you provide through a contact form or email

• Your chosen appointment time and booking details

• Communications relating to your booking or enquiry

• Basic technical information needed for the website to operate securely, such as IP address, browser type and server logs

• Payment and transaction information when you book a paid session

When payments are enabled, payment details will be entered directly into Stripe. I may receive confirmation of your payment and limited transaction information, but I will not receive or store your complete card details.

Please only provide information that you feel comfortable sharing.

3. Information shared during conversations

You decide what you wish to discuss during a listening session.

I do not record sessions and do not create detailed notes or written accounts of what you share. I may retain only the limited administrative information necessary to manage your booking, communicate with you and provide the service.

Because conversations are personal, you may choose to share information about your feelings, health, relationships, beliefs or other sensitive aspects of your life. This information is used only to provide the listening space you requested and is not used for advertising or profiling.

4. How your information is used

Your information may be used to:

• Respond to questions or messages

• Arrange, confirm and manage appointments

• Send booking confirmations and reminders

• Provide online listening sessions through Google Meet

• Process payments and refunds when paid bookings are enabled

• Maintain necessary financial and administrative records

• Protect the website and prevent misuse or fraudulent activity

• Meet legal, tax or regulatory obligations

• Establish, exercise or defend legal claims where necessary

Your information is not used for automated decision-making or profiling.

5. Legal bases for processing

Under applicable data-protection law, personal information must be processed on a recognised legal basis. Depending on the situation, I may rely on:

• Contract: when processing information is necessary to arrange or provide a session you have requested

• Steps before entering into a contract: when answering questions or arranging an introductory conversation

• Legal obligation: when information must be retained for accounting, tax or other legal purposes

• Legitimate interests: for ordinary administration, communication, website security, fraud prevention and the responsible operation of the service

• Consent: where consent is specifically requested or where it is appropriate for information you voluntarily choose to provide

You may withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent. This will not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

6. Services that may process information

I use carefully selected service providers to operate the website, manage bookings, communicate and process payments.

Hostinger

The website is created and hosted using Hostinger. Hostinger may process technical information, server logs and information submitted through website forms where applicable.

Hostinger’s privacy information is available at:
https://www.hostinger.com/legal/privacy-policy

Google Workspace, Google Calendar and Google Meet

Google Workspace is used for business email and communication. Google Calendar is used to manage appointments, and sessions take place privately online through Google Meet.

Google may process your name, email address, booking information, meeting details and technical information required to provide these services.

Sessions are not recorded by me.

Google’s privacy information is available at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy

Stripe

When paid bookings are enabled, payments will be processed securely through Stripe. Google Calendar’s paid-appointment system uses Stripe to complete the booking and payment process.

Stripe may collect and process:

• Payment method and card information

• Name, email address and billing details

• Transaction information

• Device and technical information

• Information used for security and fraud prevention

I will receive confirmation of the payment and limited transaction details needed to manage your booking, issue any appropriate refund and maintain financial records. I will not receive or store your complete card details.

Stripe processes information in accordance with its own Privacy Policy:
https://stripe.com/privacy

Stripe is included here in preparation for paid bookings. Until paid bookings are activated, no payment information is collected through this website.

7. Sharing your information

I do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.

Information may be shared only:

• With service providers necessary to operate the website, bookings, communications or payments

• When required by law, regulation or a valid request from a competent authority

• When reasonably necessary to protect someone from a serious and immediate risk of harm

• When necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights

Service providers receive only the information necessary for their role and process it under their own legal and security obligations.

8. International data transfers

Some service providers, including Google, Hostinger and Stripe, may process information in countries outside the European Economic Area.

Where required, these providers use recognised safeguards for international transfers, such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses approved under European data-protection law.

Further information about their international processing practices can be found in their respective privacy policies.

9. How long information is kept

Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Generally:

• Unresolved enquiries and related correspondence may be retained while the enquiry remains active

• Booking and service-related information may be retained for administration, continuity and the handling of possible questions or disputes

• Unnecessary personal correspondence may be deleted when it is no longer reasonably required

• Payment, transaction, invoice and accounting records may be retained for the period required by applicable tax, accounting and legal obligations

• Stripe retains information according to its own legal obligations and retention practices

• Technical and security logs are retained according to the practices of the relevant website and technology providers

I do not retain recordings or detailed notes of listening sessions because these are not created.

10. Cookies and website information

This website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for its operation, security and basic functionality.

I do not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or similar advertising or behavioural-tracking tools.

If analytics, advertising cookies or comparable tracking technologies are introduced in the future, this Privacy Notice will be updated and any legally required consent choices will be provided before those tools are used.

11. Protecting your information

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

These measures include the use of reputable service providers, password-protected accounts and secure communication platforms. However, no internet-based service or method of electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please avoid sending highly sensitive information through an ordinary contact form or unencrypted email where it is not necessary.

12. Your data-protection rights

Depending on the law applicable to you, you may have the right to:

• Ask what personal information is held about you

• Request a copy of your information

• Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected

• Request deletion of your information

• Request that processing be restricted

• Object to certain uses of your information

• Receive certain information in a portable format

• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent

• Submit a complaint to the relevant data-protection authority

Some rights are subject to legal limitations. For example, certain financial records may need to be retained even after a deletion request.

To exercise your rights, contact:

hello@talkwithkaspars.com

I may need to confirm your identity before completing a request.

You also have the right to complain to the data-protection authority in the country where you live or where you believe a data-protection issue occurred.

13. Adults only

This service is intended for adults aged 18 or over. I do not knowingly offer sessions to, or intentionally collect personal information from, children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact me so it can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.

14. External links

The website may contain links to external websites or services. Their privacy practices are controlled by their respective operators, and this Privacy Notice does not apply once you leave talkwithkaspars.com.

15. Changes to this Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice may be updated if the service, technology providers, payment arrangements or legal requirements change.

The current version will always be published on this page, together with the date it was last updated.
