Privacy Policy — BuiltSimple
Last updated: August 10, 2026
§ 1 Information About the Collection of Personal Data
(1) This Privacy Policy explains how BUILTSIMPLE LLC processes personal data when you use our website and services. Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, e.g. name, email address, or date of birth.
(2) We process your data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws. The GDPR applies to us under Article 3(2) GDPR because we offer goods and services to data subjects in the European Union.
§ 2 Data Controller
The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:
BUILTSIMPLE LLC 7901 4th Street North, Suite 300 St. Petersburg, FL 33702, United States builtsimpletraining@gmail.com Represented by: Markus Frison, CEO
§ 3 Representative in the European Union
As we are established outside the European Union, we have designated a representative pursuant to Article 27 GDPR. You may contact our representative on all matters relating to the processing of your personal data:
§ 4 Contact Form
If you contact us via the contact form, we store the information you provide (name, email address, phone number, message) in order to respond to your inquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as processing is necessary for pre-contractual measures.
This data is deleted once it is no longer required for handling your inquiry, and at the latest three years after collection, unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise.
§ 5 Newsletter
(1) You can subscribe to our newsletter to receive information about our current offers and services by providing your consent. The products and services promoted in the newsletter are specified in the consent declaration.
(2) To subscribe, we use a double opt-in procedure. After signing up, you will receive an email asking you to confirm that you own the email address and wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm within 24 hours, your information is blocked and automatically deleted after one month. We also store the IP address and timestamps of registration and confirmation in order to verify your subscription and, if necessary, clarify potential misuse of your personal data.
(3) The data you provide for the newsletter (in particular your email address) is processed by Squarespace, our technical service provider, for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
(4) The only mandatory information required is your email address. Any additional, separately marked data is voluntary and may be used to address you personally.
(5) You may withdraw your consent at any time. Upon withdrawal or unsubscription, you will be removed from the mailing list and your email address will be deleted without undue delay.
§ 6 Website Usage / Cookies
(1) In addition to the data described above, we use technical tools stored on your device for various website functions. These primarily include cookies, but may also include other mechanisms such as advertising IDs, authentication caches, or HTML5 storage. You can manage these at any time via your browser settings or our consent manager.
(2) Cookies and similar technologies are used to provide website functionality, improve user experience, and recognize returning visitors. Cookies are small text files or database entries stored on your device. They cannot execute programs or transfer viruses. This website uses the following types:
Session (transient) cookies: automatically deleted when you close the browser or log out. They contain a session ID to associate requests from your browser with a session.
Persistent cookies: automatically deleted after a predetermined period.
Other technologies: non-cookie mechanisms such as advertising IDs, authentication caches, or HTML5 storage.
(3) Technically necessary cookies: certain cookies are required for the website to function correctly and cannot be deselected. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
(4) Optional cookies and functions: all other cookies and mechanisms are used only after your consent via the consent manager. These may include analytics, cross-device functionality, recognizing returning users, or interest-based advertising. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
§ 7 Orders and Delivery of Services
(1) When you purchase one of our Programs, we act as the seller and contracting party. We process the data required to conclude and perform the contract, in particular your name, email address, country of residence, order details, and the amount paid. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
(2) Our training programs and coaching memberships are delivered through the FITR platform, which acts as our processor. FITR receives the data necessary to grant you access to the Program you purchased and to provide the coaching service.
(3) We also process this data to comply with our legal obligations, in particular tax and accounting obligations. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
§ 8 Payment Processing
Payments are handled by Stripe, which processes the personal data necessary to execute the payment, including:
first and last name
billing address
email address
payment data (e.g. bank account or credit card details, depending on the chosen method)
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We do not receive complete payment data — only the information required for invoicing, order confirmation, and tax records.
§ 9 Your Rights
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
right of access
right to rectification or erasure
right to restriction of processing
right to object to processing
right to data portability
right to withdraw consent and to object to direct marketing
To exercise these rights, you may contact us or our EU representative using the details in § 2 and § 3.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
§ 10 Sharing, International Transfers, and Retention
(1) Your data is processed exclusively for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. We share data only with the processors named above — FITR for delivery of our Programs, Stripe for payment processing, and Squarespace for website hosting and newsletter delivery — and only to the extent necessary for these purposes.
(2) Some of our processors (including Stripe and Squarespace) are based in, or process data in, the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we ensure an adequate level of data protection through appropriate safeguards, in particular Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR, or the processor's participation in an approved data protection framework, where applicable. You may request further information on these safeguards using the contact details in § 2.
(3) We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable statutory retention obligations (e.g. tax and commercial record-keeping requirements), after which it is deleted or anonymized.
§ 11 Data Security
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access. Our security measures are reviewed on an ongoing basis and adapted to technological developments.
§ 12 Minors
Our Programs are intended for individuals aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 16. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data without appropriate consent, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
§ 13 Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, processors, or legal requirements. The version published on our website at the time of your use of our services applies.
