Hi! I'm David Freiholtz and I love dancing and privacy.
I built SocialDancer because I wanted a better way to find dance events. I live in Sweden, and I held the position as GDPR responsible person for multiple years at a big hosting company in Sweden. I personally dislike the attention economy and the surveillance economy, so I promise to treat your data like I'd want mine treated - with respect and care.
