3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the responsible party

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:

Tessa Ventzke
Nieritzweg 22
14165 Berlin
Germany

Email: woof@dogdancestudio.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses or similar).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for processing it no longer applies. If you make a justified request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data; in the latter case, deletion takes place once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. We also process your data where this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is set out in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

We only pass personal data on to external parties if we are legally obliged to do so, if we have a legitimate interest in passing it on under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits it. When using processors, we only pass on personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time about this and other questions on personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us about this at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data (apart from its storage) may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, for example through spam emails.

This data is not combined with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error free presentation and optimisation of the website. For this, the server log files must be recorded.

Enquiries by email

If you contact us by email, your enquiry including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in handling the enquiries addressed to us effectively (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

5. The Dog Dance Studio app

No account, nothing sent to us

You don't need an account or a login to use the app. Everything you create in the app stays on your device: dogs, tricks, times, choreographies, segments, songs and your recorded announcements. This data is not sent to us. We do not process it and have no access to it.

No tracking, no advertising

The app uses no analytics or tracking services, shows no advertising and does not pass any data to third parties.

Microphone

The app only uses the microphone when you tap “Record” to record your own announcements. The recordings are stored only on your device. You can withdraw microphone access at any time in your device settings.

Reminders

When you turn on a reminder in the training plan, the app asks whether it may send notifications. Reminders are scheduled and shown only on your device; nothing is sent to us or to third parties for this. You can withdraw this permission at any time in your device settings.

Songs

Songs you select in the app are stored in the app on your device and are not sent to us.

Backups and files

When you save a backup or export a file, you decide where the file is stored, for example in your iCloud Drive or Google Drive. The privacy terms of that provider apply. We have no access to these files.

Subscription and payment

Subscriptions and payments are handled entirely by Apple's App Store, and Apple's privacy policy applies. We do not receive names, email addresses or payment details from Apple, only summary sales figures that do not identify anyone.

Crash reports

If you have agreed in your device settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple provides us with anonymous crash reports. They contain nothing that would let us identify you.

Deletion

When you delete the app, all of the app's data on your device is deleted. Backup files you saved are deleted by you wherever you stored them.
