In Short: We only process
your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a
valid legal reason (i.e. legal basis)
to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with
laws, to provide you with services to enter into or fulfil our
contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfil our
legitimate business interests.
If you are located in the EU or
UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on
in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the
following legal bases to process your personal information:
- Consent. We may process
your information if you have given us permission (i.e.
consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Learn more about withdrawing your consent.
- Performance of a Contract. We
may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to
fulfil our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.

For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
-
Analyse
- Legal Obligations.
We may process your information where we believe it is
necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as
to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency,
exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your
information as evidence in litigation in which we are
involved.
- Vital Interests. We
may process your information where we believe it is necessary
to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a
third party, such as situations involving potential threats to
the safety of any person.
If you are located in
Canada, this section applies to
you.
We
may process your information if you have given us specific
permission (i.e. express
consent) to use your personal information for a specific
purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred
(i.e. implied consent). You
can withdraw your
consent at
any time.
In
some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under
applicable law to process your information without your consent,
including, for example:
- If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way
- For
investigations and fraud detection and prevention
- For
business transactions provided certain conditions are
met
- If
it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is
necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance
claim
- For
identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and
communicating with next of kin
- If
we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been,
is, or may be victim of financial abuse
- If
it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent
would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the
information and the collection is reasonable for purposes
related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a
contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
- If
disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant,
court order, or rules of the court relating to the production
of records
- If
it was produced by an individual in the course of their
employment, business, or profession and the collection is
consistent with the purposes for which the information was
produced
- If
the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or
literary purposes
- If
the information is publicly available and is specified by the
regulations
In
Short: We may share information in

advertise on our Services, but are not affiliated
with, our Services.
The Services may link to
third-party websites, online services, or mobile
applications and/or contain advertisements from third
parties that are not affiliated with us and which may
link to other websites, services, or applications.
Accordingly, we do not make any guarantee regarding
any such third parties, and we will not be liable for
any loss or damage caused by the use of such
third-party websites, services, or applications. The
inclusion of a link towards a third-party website,
service, or application does not imply an endorsement
by us. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of
data you provide to any third parties. Any data
collected by third parties is not covered by this
privacy notice. We are not responsible for the content
or privacy and security practices and policies of any
third parties, including other websites, services, or
applications that may be linked to or from the
Services. You should review the policies of such third
parties and contact them directly to respond to your
questions.
In
Short: We may use cookies and
other tracking technologies to collect and store
your information.
We may use cookies and
similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and
pixels) to gather information when you interact with
our Services. Some online tracking technologies help
us maintain the security of our Services and your account
,
prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences,
and assist with basic site
functions.
We also permit third
parties and service providers to use online tracking
technologies on our Services for analytics and
advertising, including to help manage and display
advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your
interests, or to send abandoned shopping cart
reminders (depending on your communication
preferences). The third parties and service
providers use their technology to provide
advertising about products and services tailored to
your interests which may appear either on our
Services or on other websites.
To the extent these
online tracking technologies are deemed to be a 'sale'/'sharing' (which includes targeted
advertising, as defined under the applicable laws)
under applicable US state laws, you can opt out of
these online tracking technologies by submitting a
request as described below under section ' DO
UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY
RIGHTS?
'
Specific information
about how we use such technologies and how you can
refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie
Notice
:

.
In
Short: If you choose to
register or log in to our Services using a social
media account, we may have access to certain
information about you.
Our Services offer you
the ability to register and log in using your
third-party social media account details (like your
Facebook or X logins). Where you choose to do this,
we will receive certain profile information about
you from your social media provider. The profile
information we receive may vary depending on the
social media provider concerned, but will often
include your name, email address, friends list, and
profile picture, as well as other information you
choose to make public on such a social media
platform.
We will use the
information we receive only for the purposes that
are described in this privacy notice or that are
otherwise made clear to you on the relevant
Services. Please note that we do not control, and
are not responsible for, other uses of your personal
information by your third-party social media
provider. We recommend that you review their privacy

share your personal information, and how you can set
your privacy preferences on their sites and

information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined
in this privacy notice unless otherwise required
by law.
We will only keep your
personal information for as long as it is necessary
for the purposes set out in this privacy notice,
unless a longer retention period is required or
permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other
legal requirements).
No purpose in this notice will require us
keeping your personal information for longer than
the period of
time in which users have an account with us
.
When we have no
ongoing legitimate business need to process your
personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if
this is not possible (for example, because your
personal information has been stored in backup
archives), then we will securely store your personal
information and isolate it from any further
processing until deletion is possible.
9. HOW DO WE
KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
SAFE?
In
Short: We aim to protect your
personal information through a system of organisational and technical security
measures.
We have implemented
appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures
designed to protect the security of any personal
information we process. However, despite our
safeguards and efforts to secure your information,
no electronic transmission over the Internet or
information storage technology can be guaranteed to
be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee
that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not
be able to defeat our security and improperly
collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
Although we will do our best to protect your
personal information, transmission of personal
information to and from our Services is at your own
risk. You should only access the Services within a
secure environment.

represent that you are at least 18 or that you are

to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we
learn that personal information from users less than
18 years of age has been collected, we will
deactivate the account and take reasonable measures
to promptly delete such data from our records. If
you become aware of any data we may have collected
from children under age 18, please contact us at
ballroom-music.net/contact
.

Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK),
Switzerland, and Canada , you have rights
that allow you greater access to and control over
your personal information.
You may review,

personal information, (ii) to request rectification

the right to complain to your Member State
data protection
authority
or UK data protection
authority.

Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data
Protection and Information

grounds other than consent.

similar technologies: Most Web

12. CONTROLS
FOR DO-NOT-TRACK
FEATURES
Most web browsers and
some mobile operating systems and mobile
applications include a Do-Not-Track ( 'DNT' ) feature or setting you
can activate to signal your privacy preference not
to have data about your online browsing activities
monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform
technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT
signals has been
finalised . As such, we
do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or
any other mechanism that automatically communicates
your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard
for online tracking is adopted that we must follow
in the future, we will inform you about that
practice in a revised version of this privacy
notice.
California law requires
us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT
signals. Because there currently is not an industry or
legal standard for
recognising or honouring DNT signals, we do not
respond to them at this time.
