Last updated: 21 May 20261. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how theSalesCoach.app ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares personal data when you visit our website at thesalescoach.app or contact us.

Scope of this policy. This policy covers data collected via this marketing website and through direct contact with us (email, phone). Data processed inside the theSalesCoach.app platform, once you are a customer or a platform user, is governed by separate platform terms and a data processing agreement (DPA) entered into with each customer organisation.

Legal basis for processing
We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds under the GDPR:
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR): for any optional marketing communications, where applicable

- Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR): where retention is required by law (e.g. tax law)
4. Data sharing and disclosure
We do not sell personal data. We may share your personal information in the following limited situations:
- With service providers who process data on our behalf (for example, email delivery, website hosting, analytics). These providers act as processors under data processing agreements that comply with Article 28 GDPR.

5. International transfers
Personal data is primarily processed within the European Economic Area (EEA). Where we use service providers that process data outside the EEA, transfers are made under appropriate safeguards in accordance with Articles 44-49 GDPR (typically Standard Contractual Clauses).
6. Data security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is, however, 100% secure; while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements:
- Enquiry and contact data: up to 24 months for business development purposes, or until you ask us to delete it (whichever is sooner)
