We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations (GDPR) as well as this privacy policy.

2. Hosting and Server Log Files

We host our network content with IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur (hereinafter: IONOS). When you visit our websites, IONOS collects various log files including your IP addresses. However, the IP addresses are anonymized by IONOS immediately upon collection, so that no conclusions can be drawn about your person (IONOS WebAnalytics). No cookies are set for this purpose.

In addition, the provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us (browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request). These data are not merged with other data sources.

The use of IONOS is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the reliable presentation of our website). In order to guarantee data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) with IONOS.

3. Cookies and Password-Protected Knowledge Bases

Customers of our balls, workshops, and classes receive passwords for exclusive knowledge bases on our partner sites (e.g., barocktanz.com or jane-austen-dances.de). To enable you to access these protected areas and maintain your login status during the session, we use technically necessary session cookies. These cookies serve exclusively for the security and functionality of the login (Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. b and f GDPR). They are automatically deleted after you close your browser. No tracking of your user behavior takes place through these cookies.

4. Interactive Actions: "Carte de Visite" & Dispatches

On our event pages (e.g., Rococo Ball, Jane Austen Ball) we offer interactive actions such as creating a historical "Carte de Visite". If you use this form, we process the data you enter (name, e-mail, title, gender, request) as well as the portrait you upload.

Internal Processing (Mandatory)

Processing is mandatory to create your document and send the confirmation email. The images are temporarily stored in our protected archive on the server. (Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR).

Newsletter "Ball Whispers" (Voluntary)

Provided you have actively consented via the form, we will use your portrait and name for publication in our newsletter. (Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).

5. Order and Registration Data (Shop & Events)

When you book tickets for events or make purchases in the "Baroque Dance Shop", we collect the data necessary for the processing of the contract (name, address, e-mail, possibly payment data). This data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR for the fulfillment of the purchase or event contract. Tax-relevant receipts are stored in accordance with statutory retention periods (usually 10 years) and are routinely deleted thereafter. Name lists for events are destroyed after the event has concluded.

6. Mailing List / Newsletter

If you subscribe to our mailing list, we will use your email address exclusively to inform you about upcoming events, balls, and publications. Dispatch takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by sending us an email to info@barocktanz.com or by using the unsubscribe link in the newsletter.

7. Photo and Film Recordings at Events

Photo and film recordings are regularly made at our balls and events for documentation and our own advertising (website, social media, flyers). This is done on the basis of our legitimate interest in the public presentation of our historical events (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). Should you wish for deletion or anonymization of recordings in which you are clearly and individually in focus, please direct your objection, stating the image source, to info@barocktanz.com.

8. Your Rights (Information, Deletion, Objection)
