The Steady Elevation – Privacy Policy

1 – Information We Collect

• Information you provide directly. When you fill out our contact form or email us: your name, email address, and the contents of your message or request.
• Booking & scheduling information. When you book a session through our embedded scheduling tool (Calendly), that provider collects the details you submit to schedule — such as your name, email, and any notes you add — and shares the booking with us.
• Device & usage information. IP address, browser type, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date/time of each visit, collected automatically via cookies or similar technologies.

2 – Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

If you reside in the European Economic Area, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

• Contract: To perform a contract with you or provide requested services.
• Consent: When you have given us explicit permission (you may withdraw at any time).
• Legitimate Interest: For security, analytics, marketing, or improving our services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal Obligation: To comply with applicable laws.

3 – How We Use Information

• Provide and maintain the site and our coaching services.
• Respond to inquiries and schedule, confirm, or follow up on sessions and consultations.
• Send administrative information or, where you’ve opted in, occasional updates (you can opt out any time).
• Analyze usage to improve functionality, security, and user experience.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4 – Cookies & Similar Technologies

We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, and local storage to recognize your browser, improve site performance, and measure how the site is used. You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features may not function properly.

5 – Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share it only with:

• Service providers who perform functions on our behalf — such as website hosting, scheduling (Calendly), email delivery, and analytics — and who are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Authorities or other parties when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
• Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or other business transfer, subject to the terms of this Policy.

6 – Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, unless a longer period is required by law.

7 – International Transfers

We are based in Wisconsin, United States and may use service providers located in other countries. Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on approved legal mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.

8 – Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Receive a portable copy of your data.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (California residents).
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@thesteadyelevation.com.

9 – Children’s Privacy

Our site is not directed to children under 13 (or another age as required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently done so, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10 – Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
