03 How We Use Your Data

We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

We process your booking and payment data to manage your retreat registration and fulfil our contractual obligations to you. This includes sending booking confirmations, pre-arrival information, and retreat-related updates. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

We retain billing records and booking documentation to comply with our statutory accounting and tax obligations under Swiss law. The legal basis is a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we use your email address to send you updates about danceroam retreats, new destinations, and relevant content. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly.

We use your contact and communication data to respond to enquiries and provide customer support. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in maintaining effective communication with prospective and confirmed participants (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

We may use anonymised usage data and cookies to analyse how visitors interact with our website, with the aim of improving our services. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating and optimising our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Where you are an existing customer, we may contact you with information about future danceroam retreats. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in marketing to people who have already booked with us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You may opt out at any time.

We will never sell your personal data to third parties or use it for purposes incompatible with those stated above.

04 How We Share Your Data

We do not sell your personal data. We share your data only where necessary, with the following categories of recipients:

  • Retreat logistics partners: The hotels hosting the retreats receive names and any relevant access/accommodation requirements for your stay.

  • Email & marketing tools for sending newsletters and booking communications, under a data processing agreement.

  • Website hosting & analytics

  • Legal authorities: Where required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.

All third-party processors are contractually obligated to process your data solely for the purposes we specify and in accordance with applicable data protection law.
