The Vyne Way respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information with care and transparency.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you visit thevyneway.com, contact The Vyne Way, or interact with our website, and how that information may be used.
1. Who we are
The Vyne Way is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 77293851.
For questions regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal information, you can contact:

2. Information we may collect
Depending on how you interact with our website, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as:
Your name, email address, information you provide through a contact form, information you choose to share during subsequent communication or an intake, and other information you voluntarily provide when contacting The Vyne Way.
We may also collect certain technical and usage information through analytics and website technologies, such as information about your browser or device, pages visited, interactions with the website, approximate geographic information, and information collected through cookies or similar technologies.
3. How we use your information
We may use your information to respond to your questions or contact request, arrange and conduct a personal intake, communicate with you about The Vyne Way and its services, provide services when you subsequently decide to work with us, administer our business relationship and invoicing, maintain and improve the website, understand how visitors use the website, and comply with applicable legal and administrative obligations.
We only process personal information when there is an appropriate legal basis for doing so, such as your consent, taking steps at your request before entering into an agreement, performing an agreement, complying with a legal obligation, or pursuing a legitimate business interest where permitted by applicable law.
4. Authentic Self Score
The Authentic Self Score questionnaire is intended as a tool for personal reflection.
Your answers and score are calculated within the questionnaire in your browser. The current questionnaire does not submit your individual answers or score to The Vyne Way.
Please remember that the Authentic Self Score is not a medical, psychological, or diagnostic assessment and should not be interpreted as one.
5. Contact forms and communication
When you submit a contact form or contact The Vyne Way by email, the information you provide may be processed for the purpose of responding to your request and, where relevant, arranging an intake or continuing a professional relationship.
Email communication is handled using Google Workspace.
6. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors interact with our website. This may include information such as website visits, pages viewed, interactions, device and browser information, and approximate location information.
Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies, depending on your consent choices and the way our analytics settings are configured.
Where required, analytics technologies will be subject to your cookie and consent preferences.
7. Substack
The Vyne Way may provide links to content, publications, or subscription opportunities hosted on Substack.
If you choose to visit or subscribe through Substack, your personal information may also be processed by Substack according to its own privacy practices and terms. The Vyne Way does not control how Substack independently processes information on its platform.
8. Service providers
To operate our website and business, we may use trusted third party service providers, including providers for website hosting, analytics, email and communication, and publication or newsletter services.
These currently include services such as Squarespace, Google Workspace, Google Analytics, and Substack.
Some service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable, personal information will be handled using safeguards required under applicable data protection law.
9. How long we keep your information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, accounting, or administrative obligations.
The appropriate retention period may therefore depend on the nature of your communication or relationship with The Vyne Way.
10. Your privacy rights
If the GDPR applies to you, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of your information in certain circumstances, request restriction of processing, object to certain processing, request data portability where applicable, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You may exercise these rights by contacting shelley@thevyneway.com.
You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
11. Cookies
Our website may use necessary cookies and, depending on your preferences, analytics or other nonessential technologies.
Where consent is required, you can choose whether to accept nonessential cookies through the cookie settings available on the website.
12. Security
We take reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
13. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, technology, or legal obligations change.
The most recent version will always be made available on this website, together with the date it was last updated.
