  Who is Yvonne Mol?

Yvonne Mol, that’s me. I’m an author and a speaker. The how2slowdown.com website is operated by me. Through my website, I provide information about my work as a writer and speaker. If you contact me on the website through the contact form, or request the free e-book, I collect personal information from you in order to be able to respond. You enter your name and email address and that information is then stored and used for what you have requested.

If you leave a comment at the bottom of an article, your details will also be stored to enable me to reply to you.

Through this privacy statement, I want to let you know what happens to your information and how you can express your wishes regarding this. If you have any questions about this, do not hesitate to contact me.

I collect personal information through how2slowdown.com for several reasons:

Why is personal information collected?

• To reply to your message
  If you send me a message using the contact form or by commenting at the bottom of an article, the information you enter there is collected. Your name and email address are required fields, so that I can provide a personal response.

  If you enter your email address because you would like to receive the free e-book, the information you enter for that purpose will be collected. Your name and email address are required fields, so that I can use them to make sure the e-book gets to you.
• Google Analytics
  The website also collects information to improve the website. This is done through Google Analytics. For the statistics, information about, for example, the duration of your website visit or the pages you visit is stored. This data is anonymous and therefore not linked to your personal identity. They are general figures that provide information about how the website is being used, but they cannot be traced back to you as a person.

  Storage period

Your personal information will never be kept longer than necessary to perform the actions, unless I have to keep it longer due to some legal regulation.
