Privacy Policy

Let’s talk about your privacy

This Privacy Policy explains how Nord Essence Limited (“Nord Essence”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you interact with our website (www.nord-essence.co.uk), coaching services, workshops, courses, and digital products (collectively, the “Services”).

We believe privacy should feel clear, respectful, and empowering — not confusing or hidden in fine print. Whether you’re downloading a free guide, joining a workshop, or exploring burnout recovery through our content, we want you to know exactly how your data is handled.

We receive information about you from various sources, including:

  • When you sign up for free resources, courses, or coaching

  • When you interact with our website, emails, or social media

  • When you make a purchase or attend a workshop

  • When you contact us directly or fill out an intake form

This policy applies to all personal data we process as the data controller. It does not apply to third-party platforms we use (like Podia, Stripe, or Google Analytics), though we only partner with services that meet high privacy standards. We encourage you to review their privacy policies as well.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact Nord-Essence at nord.essence@gmail.com.
