Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 10, 2026

We take the protection of your personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit [maasaimasterclass.co.ke], how we use it and what rights you have.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

[Stepwise Management]
[Frank Kretzschmar]
[Street, House number]
[Postcode, City, Country]
Email: [info@stepwisemanagement.de]
Phone: [+49 / +254 …]

If the legal seat is in Germany, EU GDPR will generally apply to EU visitors; if the seat is in Kenya, Kenyan data protection law may also apply. Please have a lawyer confirm the correct wording for your exact situation.

What data we collect

We may process the following categories of personal data:

  • Technical data
    When you access our website, your browser automatically transmits data such as:

    • IP address
    • Date and time of access
    • Pages visited
    • Referring URL
    • Browser type and operating system

This data is used to ensure the security and stability of the website and for statistical purposes.

  • Contact data (via contact form or email)
    If you contact us via contact form or email, we process:

    • Name
    • Email address
    • Organisation (if provided)
    • Your message and other information you provide voluntarily

We use this data to respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, to prepare or perform a contract.

Newsletter / updates (if implemented)

If you subscribe to a newsletter or updates, we process your email address and, if provided, your name. We use this data exclusively to send you the requested information. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Analytics and usage data (if enabled)

If we use analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics, Matomo), usage data is collected in pseudonymised or anonymised form to help us understand and improve how our website is used. Details are provided in the analytics section and in our Cookie Policy.

Legal bases for processing

Depending on the specific case, we process your data on the following legal bases:

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, where applicable): e.g. for optional cookies, newsletter subscriptions, certain contact scenarios.
  • Performance of a contract / pre‑contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b)): e.g. when you contact us regarding participation in a programme, or we prepare proposals/contracts.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): e.g. ensuring website security, basic web analytics, defending legal claims.

Data sharing and international transfers

We do not sell your personal data. We only share it with:

  • Service providers who support us in operating the website (e.g. hosting providers, email services, web analytics providers) and who are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions.
  • Partners involved in the organisation of Maasai Masterclass programmes, where this is necessary for preparation and performance of the programme (e.g. for participant lists or logistics).
  • If data is transferred outside the EU/EEA (e.g. to Kenya or to service providers in other countries), we will ensure an adequate level of protection, such as contractual clauses or other safeguards, as required by applicable law.

Storage period

We store your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes stated above or as required by law. Contact enquiries are usually stored for 1 year; contractual documentation may be stored longer where legal retention periods apply.

Your rights

Depending on the applicable law (e.g. GDPR), you may have the following rights with regard to your personal data:

  • Right of access (information about your stored data)
  • Right to rectification (correction of inaccurate data)
  • Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
  • Right to restriction of processing
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal)

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [info@stepwisemanagement.de] or the postal address above.

If you believe that your data is being processed unlawfully, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g. data protection authority in your country of residence).

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to third‑party websites (e.g. partner organisations, video platforms). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these external sites. Please read the privacy policies of those websites.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The updated version will be published on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
