Collected and processed personal data

We collect and process personal data only when there are legitimate processing criteria:

• To ensure the provision of services and the fulfillment of contractual obligations;

• With the individual’s consent;

• When we are required to process personal data by relevant laws and regulations;

• When processing personal data is necessary for our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of a third party.

When you sign up to receive our news and offers, create an account on our website, or purchase products from our website, we collect personal information about you, such as your name, surname, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth. Data is collected when you voluntarily send it to us via email or by filling out forms on the website. You are not obligated to provide any personal data, but in some cases, certain services may not be available to you if you choose not to provide this information. We use an external service provider to manage our email communications and send you newsletters and offers. Your email address and any other necessary contact information are securely transferred to this provider to facilitate the delivery of our email communications. You can manage your email preferences or unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions provided in our emails.

Additional data may be generated during the provision of services, such as when you contact us using the provided contact information. The scope of personal data processed depends on the services you use and the information you provide. For example, data such as date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth are collected exclusively when purchasing personalized Human Design products (e.g., consultations or analyses) – without this data, it would not be possible to analyze your Human Design.

Personal data collected when purchasing services or goods in the online store is used to ensure smooth and high-quality service delivery (e.g., performing Human Design analysis, registering a coaching session, providing access to training and courses, and communicating with the buyer). Personal data is requested only when placing an order by filling out a form on the website. The buyer agrees to provide accurate, precise, and complete information about themselves in response to the questions presented in the registration form. If the buyer provides incorrect information, the online store has the right to refuse to provide its services to the buyer.

To fulfill certain services, such as generating personalized content based on the information you provide (e.g., birth details for Human Design analyses), we may utilize third-party platforms that assist in processing this data. These platforms are selected based on their compliance with data protection standards, ensuring the security and confidentiality of your personal information. The data shared with these platforms is strictly limited to what is necessary to provide the requested service.

In some cases, personal data may be processed by third-party providers located outside the UK/EU. We ensure these transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

We commit not to disclose the buyer’s personal data to third parties, except in cases where the information is necessary for a partner providing services related to the proper fulfillment of the buyer’s order.

When registering on our website or purchasing products or services and providing personal data, you may also choose whether or not to agree to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (receiving newsletters and offers).

Data retention

When you purchase products or services on our website, your order data will be retained for accounting purposes for 3 years from the date of the order unless you request the removal of this information.

Your consent to receive newsletters and offers is valid for 5 years. After this period, your data will be deleted or anonymized unless it is being used for other legitimate purposes.

You can withdraw your consent for the use of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time by submitting a request to hello@laura-andres.co.uk.

Your Rights

Data protection laws grant you the following rights:

• The right to be informed about the processing of your personal data;

• The right to access your personal data and information on how it is being processed;

• The right to request the correction, deletion, or suspension (except for storage) of the processing of your personal data if it is being processed in violation of legal provisions;

• The right to object to the processing of your personal data, except in cases where such data is processed due to a legitimate interest pursued by us or a third party to whom the personal data is provided, and where your interests do not override these interests;

• The right to request the destruction of your personal data;

• The right to request the restriction of processing actions concerning your personal data;

• The right to request that your personal data, if processed by automated means, be transferred to another party, where technically feasible;

• The right to lodge a complaint regarding the processing of your personal data with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom.

To exercise any of the rights listed above, you must submit a written request (via email to hello@laura-andres.co.uk) and verify your identity by providing an identification document or by other means specified by law or through electronic communication methods that allow for proper identification of the individual. We will respond to your request within 30 calendar days.
