Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 19, 2025

Hi, I’m Diana.

I care deeply about trust, honesty, and keeping things simple — including how your personal data is handled. This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect on www.dianahartig.com, why I collect it, and how it’s protected.

If anything here feels unclear, you’re always welcome to reach out and ask questions.


1. Who I am

This website is operated by:

Diana Hartig

Marketing Consultant

Website: www.dianahartig.com

Email: info@dianahartig.com


2. What personal data I collect (and why)

I only collect data that’s genuinely needed to run my business and support you.

a) Information you actively give me

This includes:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Any message you send via contact forms or email
  • Newsletter sign-ups

Why:

To reply to you, provide requested services, send helpful emails, or deliver resources you signed up for.


b) Newsletter & email communication

If you sign up for my newsletter, your data (name + email) is stored with MailerLite, my email service provider.

  • You’ll only receive emails you signed up for
  • No spam
  • You can unsubscribe anytime with one click

MailerLite complies with GDPR and protects your data.


c) Website usage data (analytics & ads)

Like most websites, this site automatically collects some technical information, such as:

  • IP address (anonymized where possible)
  • Browser type
  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on pages

This happens through:

  • Google services (e.g. Google Ads, Google Analytics)
  • Meta / Facebook Ads

Why:

To understand what content is helpful, improve the website, and show relevant ads instead of random ones.


3. Advertising & tracking tools

I use advertising platforms to grow my business in a responsible way.

Google Ads

Google Ads may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads based on previous visits to this or other websites.

You can control Google ad personalization here:

https://adssettings.google.com

Facebook / Meta Ads

Meta may track interactions for ad performance and targeting.

You can adjust your ad preferences here:

https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences


4. Cookies

This website uses cookies.

Cookies help:

  • Make the site work properly
  • Understand what content people find useful
  • Support advertising and analytics tools

A cookie consent banner is displayed when you visit the site, allowing you to manage your preferences.

You can also:

  • Disable cookies in your browser settings

Disabling cookies won’t break the site — it just limits some insights.


5. How your data is protected

I take data protection seriously and use:

  • Secure hosting providers
  • SSL encryption (https)
  • Trusted third-party tools with strong privacy standards

I never sell your data.


6. Who your data is shared with

Your data is only shared with trusted tools needed to run my business, such as:

  • Website hosting providers
  • WordPress plugins and services required for site functionality
  • MailerLite (email marketing)
  • Google & Meta (ads and analytics)

All partners comply with applicable data protection laws.


7. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to help me understand how visitors use this website. The information generated (such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and general location data) is usually transferred to and stored on Google servers.

I use this information to:

  • Understand which content is helpful
  • Improve the website experience
  • Make better, more informed business decisions

Where possible, IP addresses are anonymized, and I do not use Google Analytics to personally identify individual visitors.

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing this browser add-on:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

You can also manage or disable cookies directly in your browser settings.


8. Your rights (especially under GDPR)

If you’re located in the EU, Canada, or similar regions, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request deletion
  • Withdraw consent
  • Object to data processing

Just email me and I’ll take care of it — no hoops to jump through.


9. How long your data is stored

  • Emails and contact messages: kept as long as needed for communication
  • Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe
  • Analytics data: stored according to platform settings

10. External links

This website may link to other websites. I’m not responsible for their privacy practices, so please review their policies separately.


11. Updates to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally to stay compliant or reflect changes in tools.

The latest version will always be available on this page.


12. Contact

If you have any questions about privacy, data, or anything else — reach out:

I believe transparency builds trust, and I’m always happy to explain things in plain English.
