2. General information and legal bases

We only process personal data where this is necessary to operate this website, to run the WhoGotSkillz Danceworld Convention and to communicate with you, or where you have given your consent. The legal bases are in particular:

  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent),
  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract and pre-contractual measures, e.g. buying a ticket),
  • Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligations, e.g. tax retention periods),
  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests, e.g. secure and stable operation of the website).

Information is only stored on or accessed from your device with your consent (§ 25(1) TDDDG), unless this is strictly necessary for a function you have requested (§ 25(2) TDDDG).

Where data is transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA (in particular the USA), this is based on an adequacy decision of the European Commission (e.g. the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework) or on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by Hostinger International Ltd., 61 Lordou Vironos Street, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus. When you visit the website, data sent by your browser is processed automatically: IP address, date and time of access, page requested, referrer URL, browser and operating system. This data is required to deliver the website and keep it secure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and is deleted after a short period. We have a data processing agreement with Hostinger. We also use a server-side cache (LiteSpeed Cache) to speed up the site.

The connection to this website is encrypted using SSL/TLS.

4. Cookies and consent management

We use technically necessary cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart and checkout. All other cookies and similar technologies (statistics and marketing) are only used if you have given your consent via our cookie banner (WPConsent). Your choice is stored in a cookie. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via the cookie banner or cookie settings.

5. Contacting us

If you contact us by email, phone or via the contact form, we process your details (e.g. name, email address, message) in order to answer your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). The contact form is powered by WPForms. To protect against spam we use Cloudflare Turnstile (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). Technical data such as your IP address is transmitted to Cloudflare to detect automated submissions (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Emails from this website are sent via Google Workspace/Gmail (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Your enquiry is deleted once it has been fully dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

6. Ticket purchases, online shop and payment processing

We use the WooCommerce shop system on our own server to sell tickets and packages. When you place an order, we process the data required to conclude the contract, send your ticket, check you in and invoice you (e.g. name, address, email address, phone number, booked package, payment information) on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Invoice and booking data is retained in accordance with commercial and tax law (up to 10 years) (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

For payment, we pass the necessary data on to the payment provider you choose:

  • PayPal: PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22–24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. PayPal may carry out a credit and identity check to prevent fraud. Privacy information: paypal.com.
  • Credit card (WooPayments): Card payments are processed via WooPayments, operated by Automattic Inc. together with Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin 2, Ireland. Card data is processed directly by the payment provider and is not stored on our server.

Contest tickets and spectator tickets may also be purchased via the Messe Stuttgart ticket shop. The privacy policy of Landesmesse Stuttgart GmbH applies there.
