Last update: 22 September, 2023

World Dance Alliance is a digital platform that is designed for all dancers, dance businesses, and dance lovers (hereinafter referred to as "We", "Dancers", "Platform").

This document explains how we at Dancers handle confidential information and why you should not worry about the protection of your personal data.

Why we need your personal data

The company's website collects personal information for the purpose of improving understanding of customer needs, enhancing the quality of services provided, informing about the offered services and significant changes in the company's activities, as well as for conducting marketing and statistical research. This also allows for the ability to contact users.

What is considered personal data

Personal data refers to information related to a user that allows their identity to be determined. This includes name, surname, location data, physical characteristics (age, gender, etc.) and social aspects (profession, dance direction and experience, etc.).

According to current legislation, data processing includes any actions related to your personal information. Such actions include collection, organization, recording, storage, use, structuring, transmission of information in any manner, and more.

What information does Dancers collect

Dancers collects, processes, and stores information that the user voluntarily provides through login forms on the website and questionnaires for specific types of services, which the user can learn about in detail on our platform.

We may collect information about:

name and surname;
email;
company name;
geographical presence of the client's product;
client's dance experience.

This is an incomplete list, which may be expanded or reduced in the future.

Who has access to your data

Our Platform operates not autonomously but thanks to a qualified team. To ensure high-quality services, we involve employees and cooperate with independent contractors. In connection with this, some of your personal data may be transferred to third parties or external services (for example, mailing services).

Data retention period

Dancers stores user data only as long as necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected.

The Platform stores information about clients throughout the entire cooperation period. Then, this data is archived and backed up. Deleting some data is impossible, such as information from tax documents, records, data in comprehensive backups, etc.

How we ensure the protection of personal data

At Dancers, we implement both technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information of our users/clients from illegal processing, unauthorized access, and accidental loss or damage. We continuously improve our personal data security measures to meet the latest technological advancements.

Technical protection measures

We store passwords in specialized programs and apply two-factor authentication wherever possible. On the Platform's website, we use the secure data transmission protocol – HTTPS – to ensure the security of information storage. Platform data storage is carried out using reliable hosting providers and additional software to protect servers.

Organizational protection measures

At Dancers, we have implemented a system of signing non-disclosure agreements for confidential information among our employees and contractors. These agreements detail the rights and obligations regarding personal data protection.

We do not disclose personal information about users, which may harm them. Exceptions are cases when we agreed with the Client to publish this information, or it is already public.

We conduct systematic briefings with our employees on the protection of users'/clients' personal data. We have separated areas of responsibility and functional duties among employees to prevent instances of important data being available to many employees without necessity. We also provide employees with limited access and regularly review the relevance of issued access permissions. We do not transfer personal data of our users/clients to third parties, except in cases where such data provision is required by competent state authorities in accordance with applicable laws.

Cookie files

They allow the site to remember your preferences and past actions to improve your user experience. If you want to change your cookie settings, you can do so through your browser's settings. If additional information is needed, you can review our Cookie Policy.

Inquiries to the Platform

Dancers makes every effort to promptly address inquiries from visitors regarding the collection, processing, and storage of their personal data. We typically respond within a week from the date of inquiry submission. However, if we experience a high volume of inquiries from various users, we may extend the response time to up to 2 weeks. We will notify the user of such an extension within 1 week of receiving the inquiry and indicate the reasons for the delay.

Liability Disclaimer

We respect the confidentiality of our users and do our best to comply with the rules set out in our policy. However, we cannot guarantee 100% data preservation that is also placed in public access on the network, or if factors beyond our control and influence arise, which may lead to the disclosure of information.

We are not responsible for any negative consequences and damages, including lost profits, arising from restricted access to the website or its visitation and use of the information posted on it.

We also want to note that Dancers may contain links to third-party resources that are not affiliated with our Platform. We are not responsible for the completeness, reliability, and accuracy of the information posted on such websites and do not guarantee the preservation of confidential data left by visitors on these sites. Before proceeding to other sites, familiarize yourself with their privacy policies.

Notifications

In case of violation of the protection of users' personal data, we immediately inform the users themselves and the competent personal data protection supervisory authority. In doing so, we make every effort to minimize such risks.

Changes and Additions

We strive for the continuous growth and development of our Platform, and therefore, from time to time, we may make changes and updates to this policy.
Any innovations in this document will be posted on our website, so we recommend periodically reviewing this page to ensure that you agree with the changes.
