The CERN Dancing Club's Privacy Policy

Under the rules laid down by CERN and by the European Union, we are obliged to provide this tiresome text, so here you go.

Introduction

The CERN Dancing Club is a non-profit association which organises dancing courses and dancing parties. This privacy policy will explain how we use the personal data we collect from you when you use our website.

Topics:

What data do we collect?

We, the CERN Dancing Club, do not collect any personal information when you simply visit our web site. We only collect such information when you fill in our inscription form. When you subscribe to dancing courses at our Club, we collect the following data:

How do we collect your data?

We collect this data when you click the 'Subscribe' button of our inscription form, after you filled in all this yourself. We may modify or add to that data at your request. We complement it with payment data obtained from our banking relations, or from the paper journal sheets used for cash transactions.

How will we use your data?

We use your data to keep track of who wishes to participate in our dancing courses, who paid for the courses, when, by what means, the amount and in what currency. We use it to make membership cards and name badges to wear during the dancing lessons. We use your email address to keep you informed about dancing parties, practice sessions and possible incidents, like dropped courses, replacement lessons and anything else that may need to be communicated to course participants, either individually or collectively. At any time, you may request that we remove your email address from our database, simply by sending your request by email to dancing.club@cern.ch.

We do not share this data with any other company or organization. We do not communicate this data to other subscribed persons or to the dancing teachers. Your data is stored on CERN computer systems under a computer account owned by the CERN Dancing Club and is protected by the CERN standard Single Sign-On security. Access is restricted to members of the CERN Dancing Club Bureau and to our auditor, an ex CDC president.

We keep this data for 10 years. Once this time period has expired, we will delete this data.

What are your data protection rights?

We would like to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at our email: dancing.club@cern.ch.

What are cookies?

Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information. We do not use cookies.

How to manage cookies

Even though we don't, many other web sites make copious use of cookies, usually under the pretence that it somehow enhances your 'user experience'. We believe the real reasons, more often than not, are to track your browsing habits and interests and to bother you with undesirable, pointless, irritating publicity that follows you around wherever you go on the web. We won't do that. Ever.

You can consult allaboutcookies.org to learn about cookies. You can set your browser not to accept cookies, and that website tells you how to remove cookies from your browser. The behaviour or appearance of our web site will remain unaffected by your cookie settings.

Privacy policies of other websites

Our website contains links to other websites. Our privacy policy applies only to our website, so if you click on a link to another website, you should read their privacy policy.

Changes to our privacy policy

We keep this privacy policy under regular review and place any updates on this web page. This privacy policy was last updated on .
