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.
Legal Entity: SocialDancer is operated by David Freiholtz, a private person (not a company) based in Sweden.
Data Controller: David Freiholtz is the data controller responsible for your personal data processed through this website.
Jurisdiction: Swedish and EU data protection law applies to this service.
Business Structure: Personal project operated by an individual, not a registered company
I actually care about your privacy - it's not just legal talk.
The purpose and legal basis depend on the feature you use:
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments.
Just the basics to make the site work for you:
Cookies: Essential cookies keep you signed in and remember settings. Optional analytics is off until you accept it. External sign-in, maps and payment services have their own privacy terms.
Your appearance choice, map, muted style combinations and selected event types are remembered in this browser. You can remove these preferences by clearing this site's browser data.
Everything we do with your data is to help you find dances:
Retention: Deleting your account deactivates it and signs you out now. After 30 days, the next daily cleanup erases your personal data from the live service.
Contact us before the 30-day grace period ends to cancel deletion and reactivate your account. Signing in alone does not cancel deletion.
Shared public events, venues and organizers remain without your account attribution. A minimal deletion record keeps your former public account identifier and request and erasure times so deletion can be reapplied after a backup restore. An avatar file reference is retained only until file cleanup succeeds.
Backup copies and external providers' records have separate retention and are not erased by this live-service cleanup. Detailed optional analytics is retained for the current day and 30 completed days, then reduced to anonymous daily totals kept for five years.
These external services help run SocialDancer:
๐ซ We NEVER sell your data to anyone. Period.
Other Disclosures: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority. We will notify you of such disclosures unless legally prohibited.
Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger or acquisition, user data would be transferred to the successor entity, and you would be notified before any transfer occurs.
You're in charge of your data:
Use the contact page to request access, correction, deletion or other data rights. Requests are normally answered within one month; any permitted extension must be explained within that month. Contact page
The recovery period is part of account closure, not a required wait for exercising your data rights. Contact us if you want earlier erasure or need help with billing before closing your account.
