Aewen Privacy Statement

This statement explains how Aewen handles your personal information when you visit aewen-wellbeing.com, get in touch, or take part in coaching, an assessment, a workshop or group sessions. Aewen follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, in Dutch: AVG).Last updated: 16 October 2026Who I amAewen is a one-person business run by Megan Ridderhof. I am responsible for your personal information (in GDPR terms, the "controller").Business name: Aewen
KvK number: 42136725
Address: Van Alkemadelaan 189, Den Haag
Email: [email protected]What information I collectI only collect the information I need to work with you and to improve the Aewen Method. This includes your contact details: your name, email address, phone number (if you contact me via WhatsApp) and anything you write in the contact form or in messages. It also includes your assessment answers about stress, wellbeing, habits, values and what matters to you, and the notes I make during and after sessions, the practices we agree on, and your between-session check-ins and trackers. For invoices, I keep your name, address, what you bought and whether it has been paid. If your employer pays or you join through a workshop, I also note the name of your organisation.Please don't put sensitive details in the contact form. We can talk about those in person.Why I use itUnder the GDPR, I need a legal reason (a "basis") for each use. I use your information to reply to your request or question, as a step you asked for before an agreement. I use it to provide coaching, assessments, group sessions and workshops, based on our agreement. I use the health and wellbeing information you share only with your explicit consent. I keep invoices and tax records because the law requires it. And I use your information to improve the Aewen Method only with your separate, explicit consent.Health and wellbeing informationSome of what you share, such as how stress affects your sleep, mood or body, counts as health information under the GDPR. I only use it with your explicit consent, which I ask for before your assessment or first session.You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing me. This doesn't affect anything we did before, but I may not be able to continue coaching without it.Aewen is coaching, not therapy or medical care. I don't diagnose or treat any condition.ConfidentialityEverything you share in sessions stays between us. The only exception: if I believe there is a serious risk to your safety or someone else's, I may contact appropriate help. Where possible, I'll talk to you about this first.Improving the Aewen MethodWith your permission, I use information from assessments and sessions to understand what helps people most and to keep improving the Aewen Method. For example, I look at patterns across clients and which tools and practices work best in different situations.I only do this with your separate, explicit consent, and saying no doesn't affect your coaching in any way. Before I analyse anything, I remove your name and contact details and use a client code instead. Anything I share or publish is about groups of people, never about you as an individual. You can withdraw this consent at any time by emailing me, and I'll then stop using your information for this purpose.Who I share it withI never sell your information. I don't share your assessment or session content with your employer, even if they pay, unless you ask me to in writing.I use a few trusted services to run Aewen, and they only process your information on my behalf. I use Google Workspace for email (including sending invoices), calendar, client files and check-in forms, and Google Meet for online sessions. Carrd hosts this website and its contact form. If you choose to contact me via WhatsApp, your messages go through WhatsApp. I also use AI tools to help improve the quality of sessions, and I only share de-identified information with them: no names or details that could identify you.Some of these providers are based outside the EU, for example in the US. Those transfers are covered by legal safeguards such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.I may also share information when the law requires it, for example invoices with the tax authorities.How long I keep itIf you get in touch but don't become a client, I keep your contact form and messages for 6 months after our last contact. I keep assessments, coaching notes and trackers for 2 years after our last session. Invoices and financial records are kept for 7 years, as the law requires. Anonymised, combined insights are kept, as they can't be traced back to you. After that, I delete your information.How I protect itOnly I have access to your information. My accounts are protected with strong passwords and two-step verification, and my devices are password-protected and kept up to date. Client files are labelled with a client number, not your name, and the list linking numbers to names is stored separately.Your rightsYou can ask me to show you the information I hold about you, correct it if it's wrong, delete it, limit how I use it or object to a use, give you a copy to take elsewhere, or stop using it by withdrawing your consent.Email [email protected] and I'll reply within one month. I may ask you to confirm your identity first.Not happy with how I've handled your information? Please tell me first. You can also file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.Cookies and this websiteThis website doesn't use tracking or advertising cookies.
