Data protection

Data collection and processing

When you register for weekly classes, workshops, or other events organised by inSpiral Dance Company Finland, you enter into a contract with us: you agree to follow the dance school’s rules (e.g., pay the fees), and in exchange you get the right to take part in the activity you registered for. We will also make sure that you’ll get up-to-date information about the dance school’s upcoming events and the benefits which you are entitled to based on your registration/attendance (e.g., events open only to the dance school’s dancers and the right to compete).

To make and execute that contract, we collect and process data related to your registration. This data consists of your contact information, registration information (which class/workshop/etc. you’ve registered for, start and end dates, etc. details asked at the time of registration), records of your attendance, and records of the invoicing and payment of your fees. For competitions and grade exams, we also collect and process results.

Who processes your information and how depends on what you have registered for.

Your rights

You have the right to request to see all your personal data at any time. The request can be made by separate mails to all the controllers who have collected your data. Alternatively, you can send one request to the controller of the joint register and authorise them to request and collect your data from the local registers.

You may request that we only send you messages which relate directly to your registration or that we do not keep a record of your attendance. Please note, however, that this may limit your opportunities to take part in the dance school’s activities.

You also have the right to request that we correct any errors in your data or that we erase your data. However, we cannot delete data which we are required to store for a certain period of time by law (such as invoicing and payment information). You also have right to request that we restrict the processing of your data and to object to the processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (www.tietosuoja.fi/en/).
