Who I am

(…without getting philosophical)

Welcome to Graeme Wilson’s Life Coaching site, found at https://graemewilson.nz.

My mission is to guide individuals on their journey to self-discovery and resilience. Specializing in personal development through the psychosynthesis framework, I focus on holistic growth, emphasizing mindfulness, self-discipline, and purposeful living. This approach unlocks each person’s unique potential, fostering inner freedom and peace.

I offer personalized and intentional coaching experiences. For any privacy inquiries, contact me at [email protected].

Improve Your Privacy Online

Empowering you to protect your online privacy is important to me. I recommend exploring tools like Ghostery, which can enhance your control over personal data. Ghostery offers features that block trackers and ads, helping you browse the web more privately, and automatically opt-out of being tracked.

Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, the site collect the information you enter in the comments form. This includes your comment, as well as technical details like your IP address and browser type, which help us in spam detection.

If you use a Gravatar profile, an anonymized string from your email address (known as a hash) might be sent to Gravatar to see if you’re using it. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to everyone in relation to your comment.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website information in cookies. These cookies make it more convenient for you by remembering your details for future comments, so you don’t have to enter them each time. These cookies remain for one year.

If you visit our login page, the site checks if your browser accepts cookies through a temporary cookie, which doesn’t contain personal data and is removed when you close your browser.

Upon logging in, the site sets cookies to remember your login details and display choices on the site. Login information cookies are kept for two days, while display preferences are stored for a year. If you choose ‘Remember Me’, your login will last for two weeks. These login cookies are removed when you log out.

Additionally, if you edit or publish content on the site, a cookie will be stored in your browser indicating the ID of the article you edited, without storing any personal data. This cookie expires after one day.

The site uses the Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR / CCPA plugin by Hu-manity.co to help us with the cookie consent requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). As a user, this means you will be informed about and have control over the cookies used on our site. You can easily give, refuse, or customize your consent for cookie usage, ensuring your privacy preferences are respected and upheld.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on our site might feature embedded content, like videos, images, and articles. This content comes from other websites and is displayed directly on our page. When you interact with this embedded content, it’s as if you’re visiting the website where it originally appears.

Please note that these other websites might collect data about you, use cookies, and employ third-party tracking. They may also track how you interact with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to their site. It’s important to remember that these actions are governed by the privacy policies of the websites where the content originates, not by us.

Who I share your data with

In line with our commitment to your privacy, I limit data sharing to essential instances. For example, if you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email to enhance security and prevent misuse.

Additionally, my website uses Google Analytics and Jetpack Analytics (Stats) to gather anonymous data about website usage. This helps me understand how visitors interact with my site, enabling me to improve user experience and tailor content effectively. It’s important to note that this data is collected anonymously and does not include any personally identifiable information.

How long I retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate easier follow-up and management. If you register on the website, the personal information you provide in your profile is stored. You can manage your personal information at any time, though username changes are not permitted. I can also access and modify this information.

If you do not register or leave comments, only the personal data you provide in contact forms, transactions, or other interactions as necessary for service provision and legal compliance are stored.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file of the personal data I hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also ask me to erase any personal data that I hold about you. These requests can be made by contacting me at [email protected]. Please note that this does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where I send your data

Visitor comments are subject to an automated spam detection service, which helps maintain the integrity and safety of our website. This process involves sending the comments to a third-party service where they are checked against known spam patterns.

In addition, certain personal data, such as information submitted through contact forms or during transactions, might be processed by our website hosting provider or payment processing services, ensuring secure and efficient operations.
