We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Storage duration Unless a more specific storage period has been stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply. General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website Insofar as you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, provided that special categories of data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also occurs on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. Insofar as you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing also occurs on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent is revocable at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing can also occur on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legal bases relevant in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy. Recipients of personal data In the course of our business operations, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass personal data on to external parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer. When using data processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded. Revocation of your consent to data processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Right to object to data collection in special cases and against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR CONCERNED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR). Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies. Right to data portability You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible. Information, correction, and deletion Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data.

Right to restriction of processing You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed, apart from its storage, with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state. SSL or TLS encryption For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Encrypted payment transactions on this website If an obligation exists to transmit your payment data to us (e.g., account number in case of direct debit) after the conclusion of a fee-based contract, this data is required for payment processing. Payment transactions via common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) occur exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. With encrypted communication, your payment data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties. Objection to promotional e-mails The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for the transmission of unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal steps in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

Cookies Our internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your end device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion occurs through your web browser. Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used for the evaluation of user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for the performance of the electronic communication process, for the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as consent for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing occurs exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent is revocable at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. The functionality of this website may be limited when cookies are deactivated. You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy. Consent to cookies and similar technologies Our website obtains your consent for the storage of non-necessary cookies and for the use of comparable technologies through its own consent management. No service of a third-party provider is loaded for this: when calling up the website, no connection to external servers is established for the consent. We store your decision in the cookie "udansa-consent" on your end device. It contains a randomly generated ID, the time of your decision, the version of the consent request, and the selected categories; it is valid for twelve months, after which we ask again. In order to be able to prove that consent has been given (Art. 7(1) GDPR), we additionally log the same ID, the time, the selected categories, the language of the page, the country from which the call came, and the browser type on our server. The IP address is not saved during this process. The log is deleted after three years. As long as you have not given your consent, only technically necessary cookies are set. Services in the category "Statistics" (Google Analytics, Algolia Insights, Sentry Session Replay) are only loaded after you have given your consent. You can change or revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To do this, use the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of this website. There you will also find a complete overview of all used cookies with provider, purpose, and storage duration. The legal basis for consent management is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(1) TDDDG; the logging of consent is based on our burden of proof according to Art. 7(1) GDPR. Server log files The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: Browser type and browser version Operating system used Referrer URL Hostname of the accessing computer Time of the server request IP address A combination of this data with other data sources is not performed. The collection of this data occurs on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free representation and optimization of its website; server log files must be collected for this. Inquiry by e-mail, telephone, or fax If you contact us by e-mail, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent. The processing of this data occurs on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), insofar as this has been requested; consent is revocable at any time. The data sent by you to us via contact inquiries remains with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the processing of your request is complete). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected. Registration on this website You can register on this website to use additional functions on the site. We use the data entered for this only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration. For important changes, e.g., in the scope of the offer or in case of technically necessary changes, we use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you in this way. The processing of the data entered during registration occurs for the purpose of implementing the user relationship established by registration and, if applicable, for the initiation of further contracts (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). The data collected during registration is stored by us for as long as you are registered on this website and is subsequently deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

The following sections apply to our app udansa-connect, with which you can create a dance profile, find dance partners, and exchange ideas with others. The app is aimed at adults. The preceding sections apply additionally, in particular regarding registration, hosting, payment providers, and your rights. Profile data When setting up your profile, we process the information you provide yourself: first name and last name, gender, optionally your date of birth and your height, your dance level, your role (leading, following, or both), your dance styles, your languages, your location, as well as voluntary information such as description text, goals, availability, and favorite song. Additionally, you can save search preferences, such as the desired gender, age range, level, and styles of your desired partner. This data is visible to other users of the app, insofar as you have provided it. You can control via the settings whether your age and your activity status are displayed. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as the profile data forms the core of the service you desire; voluntary additional information is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Location data So that we can show you dance partners and offers in your vicinity, we process your location. You can enter it yourself or use your device's location detection. If you use location detection, the app asks for authorization once and determines your position only at that moment; there is no permanent or background location tracking. Location, country, and coordinates are saved, from which we calculate the distance to other profiles. Other users are only shown a rounded distance specification and your location, never your exact coordinates. For the conversion of coordinates into a location name, we transmit the coordinates to Nominatim (see section OpenStreetMap). The legal basis is your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you can revoke at any time via your device's system settings. Photos You can upload a profile picture, a background picture, and further pictures in a gallery, as well as send pictures in the chat. The pictures are stored at Cloudinary (see the respective section). Pictures sent in the chat are stored as protected content and automatically deleted after 90 days. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Messages and groups Via the app, you can exchange individual and group messages, react to messages, and participate in surveys. We store the content of your messages, time, read status, and any edits so that the conversation remains available on your devices. Also saved is when you were last active; you can switch off the display of this status in the settings. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Please note that messages are not end-to-end encrypted; they are stored on our servers and evaluated automatically within the framework of the content check described below. Automatic translation of messages If you write to someone who has set a different language, we translate your message automatically so that it is understood. For this, the message text is transmitted via the AI interface of Lovable Labs AB, Regeringsgatan 25, 111 53 Stockholm, Sweden, to a language model that is provided there by Google; alternatively, a model from OpenAI is used. The translation is cached so that the same text does not have to be transmitted multiple times. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Automatic checking of content To protect our users from harassment and inadmissible content, content is checked automatically before publication. Texts, i.e., messages, profile texts, names, and survey options, are transmitted for this purpose to OpenAI Ireland Limited, 1st Floor, The Liffey Trust Centre, 117-126 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1, D01 YC43, Ireland. We transmit pictures before uploading them to Kozelo SAS (Sightengine), 16 bis rue dOdessa, 75014 Paris, France, which examines them for prohibited content. If the check detects a violation, the content is not published and the process is logged for evidence purposes. This check is an automated preliminary control, but not an automated decision with legal effect within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. If you believe content was blocked wrongly, please contact hi@udansa.com; we will then check the case personally. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in keeping our platform free from unlawful and harassing content and in complying with our legal obligations. Suggestions for dance partners (profiling) So that suitable profiles are shown to you first, we evaluate automatically how well two profiles match each other. This evaluation includes: common dance styles, complementary roles, dance level, practice frequency, distance, last activity, common goals and events, as well as the search preferences you have saved, including age range. The result is displayed to you as a match in percent. Additionally, we generate a mathematical representation of your profile (a so-called embedding) from your profile information, i.e., first name, description text, dance styles, role, level, goals, and location, as well as from your music scans of the last 90 days, with which similar profiles are found. This calculation occurs via the AI interface of Lovable Labs AB using a model from Google. This procedure constitutes profiling within the meaning of the GDPR. It serves exclusively for the sequence of the suggestions and has no legal effect on you; an automated decision within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR is not connected with this. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as the mediation of suitable dance partners is the purpose of the app. You can object to the processing according to Art. 21 GDPR. Profile visits When you open another person's profile, we save this once per day. The person concerned can see who has visited their profile. Conversely, it is visible to others if you have called up their profile. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the legitimate interest lies in the transparency customary for a mediation platform and the initiation of contacts. Reporting and blocking You can block other people as well as report people and offers. In the event of a report, we process your information and the data belonging to the reported content and transmit it via e-mail to our support team. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR as well as the fulfillment of our obligations under the Digital Services Act (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR). Music recognition (song scan) With the song scan, you can have music in your environment recognized and learn which dances it fits. If you start a scan, the app records a short excerpt via your device's microphone. The recording starts exclusively if you trigger the scan yourself. The excerpt is transmitted to the music recognition service AudD (https://audd.io) for determination of the title as well as to the AI interface of Lovable Labs AB, which evaluates it with a model from Google to determine suitable dances, time signature, and tempo. On Apple devices, the title recognition also occurs via the device's own function ShazamKit, without data being transmitted to us. We do not store the audio recording itself. What is stored is the result of the scan, i.e., title, artist, tempo, genre, and suitable dances, as well as the time. You can view your scan history in the app. The recognized music features flow into the suggestions for dance partners described above. The legal basis is your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you give by triggering the scan and granting microphone authorization and which you can revoke at any time via your device's system settings. Dictation function You can dictate messages instead of typing. On mobile devices, your operating system's speech recognition takes over the conversion. In some browsers, the recording is transmitted to the respective browser manufacturer during this process. The function starts only if you expressly trigger it. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Push notifications If you allow push notifications, we inform you about new messages, contact inquiries, and other events. For this, we store a device ID (push token), the platform, and a device ID of your end device. The transmission occurs via Firebase Cloud Messaging of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The notification text can contain a preview of the message. You set in the app which events trigger a notification; you revoke the authorization as a whole via your device's system settings. Upon deregistration, we delete the token. The legal basis is your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Permissions on your device Depending on the function used, the app asks for the following permissions: camera and photo library (profile and chat pictures), location (radius search), microphone (song scan), speech recognition (dictation function), notifications (push), calendar (entering confirmed appointments), contacts (selection of an individual person to invite), as well as Face ID or fingerprint (locking the app). All permissions are only requested when you use the respective function and can be withdrawn at any time via the system settings. Your address book is not read and not transmitted: when inviting, you select exactly one person in the system dialog, whose information is used exclusively on your device for creating the invitation. The lock via Face ID or fingerprint is checked exclusively on your device; we never receive biometric data. Internal notification of registrations We inform our team automatically about new registrations in our internal messaging system. Name, e-mail address, and language of the newly registered person are transmitted to Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, D18 P521, Ireland; technical forwarding occurs via Lovable Labs AB. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the prompt support of new members. Deletion of your account You can delete your account at any time in the app settings. This will delete your profile data, your photos, your location information, your dance and search profiles, your scan history, your push tokens, your profile visits, and your block lists. Your account with our login service as well as your entry at the newsletter service provider will also be deleted. For legal reasons, the following are not deleted but separated from your person: messages already sent, so that the conversation remains readable for your conversation partners; logged violations of our rules; as well as the information that we need for tax and commercial law retention periods, in particular payment and invoice data according to Section 147 AO and Section 257 HGB. Additionally, we store proof of the execution of the deletion. If you would like information about your data or a copy in a portable format, please contact hi@udansa.com.
