This coach page is hosted and created based on the ICF Member Website service offered by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and follows personal and privacy-sensitive data processing. ICF attaches great importance to the proper handling of personal data and thus processes and secures such data with due care and attention.

Statistics and profiling

ICF records statistics pertaining to the use of its online service. ICF uses these statistics to improve its service so that, for example, only relevant information is shown. ICF uses your IP address and cookie information for this purpose. ICF makes decisions based on automated processing through computer programs or systems without involving natural persons (e.g. ICF employees). ICF use this system, among other measures, to ensure ICF’s accessibility and ability to coordinate communication with you personally. ICF uses the following external computer programs or systems: Google AdWords remarketing, Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel to display advertisements based on your browsing behaviour.

Special and/or sensitive personal data that we process

The ICF website and/or service does not intend to collect data from website visitors under the age of 16, unless those visitors have permission from a parent or guardian. However, as ICF has no way of verifying a visitor’s age, it encourages parents to take an active interest in their children’s online activities to prevent the unauthorized collection of a minor’s personal data. If you believe ICF has collected a minor’s personal data without permission, please reach out to us via our contact form and we will delete the relevant information.

Sharing data with other companies and institutions

ICF shares your personal data with other companies and institutions only when this is necessary for it to provide services or if ICF is legally obliged to do so (e.g. if the police request said data in the event of suspected criminal activity).

ICF works with a number of partners who it may also share your personal data with when this is necessary for ICF  to provide the services for which you have signed up.

Cookies

ICF’s online service uses functional, analytical, and tracking cookies. Cookies are small files in which ICF stores information so that you don’t have to re-enter it every time you access our service. Please note that ICF’s use of cookies also means it is aware of every time you visit the ICF website.  Please refer to https://coachingfederation.org/policies for more detailed information.

ICF has agreements in place with other companies who place cookies. As ICF cannot control what those companies do with these cookies, we recommend reading their privacy statements.

You can disable cookie placement in your browser settings. However, this means you will no longer be able to log into ICF’s system. You can also delete all cookies placed by ICF or its partners via your browser settings. After logging in, ICF’s system will function correctly again.

Google Analytics

ICF  uses Google Analytics to track how visitors use its online service.

Security

Personal data security is very important to ICF. ICF strives to maintain the security of your personal data, making adjustments where necessary and paying close attention to any risks. For example, ICF’s application uses a secure connection via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, indicated by the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar. ICF stores backups at an external location. ICF employees are explicitly instructed to maintain proper security on their electronic devices and to use secure login methods. ICF also carries out penetration tests to detect any vulnerabilities.

Changes to this privacy statement

In the event of any changes to the ICF’s online service or to any relevant legislation, ICF must also adjust its privacy statement. ICF recommends making a note of the date at the top of the page and checking back regularly for updates. ICF will always endeavor to announce any important changes separately.
