However, we reserve the right to put this data to additional uses to the extent permitted or required by law or necessary to support legal or criminal investigations. In this case, we will inform you again about this further data processing to the extent required by law and obtain your consent.

General information on data processing
In the course of our business and website operations, we process data. This also includes disclosure by transmission to third parties and, where applicable, to so-called third countries outside Ireland and the EEA. Where we transfer data outside Ireland or EEA, we have highlighted this accordingly below.

Data processing
All personal data that we obtain from you via the website will only be processed for the purposes described in more detail below. This is done within the framework of the respective legal regulations mentioned or only with your consent.

In particular, Art. 6 GDPR specifies when data processing is permitted. House of Gymnastics and Performing Arts collects personal data if:

you have given your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR),
the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract / pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR),
the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or
the data is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company, provided that your interests are not overridden (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

House of Gymnastics and Performing Arts processes and stores your personal data only for the period of time required to achieve the respective processing purpose or for as long as a legal retention period (in particular commercial and tax law) exists. Once the purpose has been achieved or the retention period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted.

a) Hosting
To provide our website, we use the services of Wix who process the below-mentioned data and all data to be processed in connection with the operation of our website on our behalf. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest in providing our website.

b) Collection of access data and log files
We also collect data on every access to our website. The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g., for the clarification of abuse or fraud) for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data whose further storage is necessary for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident is finally clarified. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest in providing an appealing website.

c) Contacting us
If you contact us, we process the following data from you for the purpose of processing and handling your enquiry: Name, contact details (phone number and e-mail address) -if provided by you- and your message. The legal basis of the data processing is our obligation to fulfil the contract and/or to fulfil our pre-contractual obligations and/or our legitimate interest in processing your enquiry.

d) Book Now (Child Registration and Adult Registration Form)
When you book a class, we require some personal data and the following is collected: First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, Address, Phone and E-mail, as well as some non-personal data about the services you are requesting and where applicable some personal information concerning pertinent medical details which are considered special category data.

The processing of the entered data is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and the provision of a contractual or pre-contractual measure (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Further, in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, we need a second lawful basis to use special category data. This is typically also your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. To do so, simply send a message to one of the contact details listed above.

Whilst we are offering our services to Children, the protection and safety of Children using our services is our priority. In order to book a class, you must 1) be at least eighteen (18) years old and able to enter into contracts; 2) complete the registration process; 3) agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and 4) provide true, complete, and up to date legal and contact information.

Parents or legal guardians must register, any youngster under the age of 18 wishing to register must do so only through their Parents or legal guardians.

e) Administration, financial accounting, office organisation, contact management
We process data within the scope of administrative tasks as well as organisation of our business, financial accounting, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving.

In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the context of providing our contractual services. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in the administration, financial accounting, office organisation, archiving of data, i.e., tasks that serve the maintenance of our business activities, performance of our tasks and provision of our services.

The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information mentioned in these processing activities.

In this context, we disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax advisors or auditors as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.

Furthermore, we store information on suppliers, organisers, and other business partners on the basis of our business interests, e.g., for the purpose of contacting them at a later date. This data, most of which is company-related, is stored permanently.

f) Use of cookies
We use so-called cookies on our web site. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your respective device (PC, smartphone, tablet, etc.) and saved by your browser. For further information please refer to our Cookie Policy. The legal basis for the use of cookies is your consent as well as our legitimate interest.

Duration of data storage
We only store personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed or for as long as any consent you have given us has been revoked by you. Insofar as statutory retention obligations must be observed, the storage period for certain data may be up to 6 years, irrespective of the processing purposes.

Transfer of personal data
We will not disclose or otherwise distribute your personal data to third parties unless this:

is necessary for the performance of our services,
you have consented to the disclosure,
or the disclosure of data is permitted by relevant legal provisions.

However, we are entitled to outsource the processing of your personal data in whole or in part to external service providers acting as processors within the framework of the DPA and GDPR. External service providers support us, for example, in the technical operation and support of the website, data management, the provision and performance of services, marketing, as well as the implementation and fulfilment of reporting obligations.

The service providers commissioned by us however will process your data exclusively in accordance with our instructions and we remain in accordance with the DPA and the GDPR responsible for the protection of your data. Doing so we always make sure that service providers commissioned by us are carefully selected, follow strict contractual regulations, technical and organisational measures, and additional controls by us.

We may also disclose Personal Data to third parties if we are legally obliged to do so e.g., by court order or if this is necessary to support criminal or legal investigations or other legal investigations or proceedings at home or abroad or to fulfil our legitimate interests.

Automated decision-making
Automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR does not take place at House of Gymnastics and Performing Arts.

Direct marketing in the context of a customer relationship
We use the data you provide to fulfil and process our contract and to respond to your enquiries in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR or on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Insofar as you have also given us your separate consent to process your data for consulting, marketing and advertising purposes, we are entitled to contact you for these purposes via the communication channels you have given your consent to.

Please contact us at any time with questions and suggestions regarding data protection and to enforce your rights as a data subject.

The competent supervisory authority
The Information Commissioner`s Office (ICO) is the relevant data protection supervisory authority in the UK. The ICO is located at Wycliffe House, Water Ln, Wilmslow SK9 5AF, UK (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO.

Security
State-of-the-art internet technologies are used to ensure the security of your data. During the online enquiry process, your details are secured with SSL encryption. For secure storage of your data, the systems are protected by firewalls that prevent unauthorised access from outside. In addition, technical and organisational security measures are used to protect the personal data you have provided against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons.

Social Media
We are present in "social media" (currently, Instagram) in order to communicate with our customers, interested parties and users registered there and to be able to inform them about our offers. We would like to point out that you use social media platforms and their functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g., commenting, sharing, rating). We, as the provider of our Social Media Profile, do not collect and process any data from your use of our social media platforms and beyond this. The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in providing users with effective information and communicating with users.

Updating your information
If you believe that the information, we hold about you is inaccurate or that we are no longer entitled to use it and want to request its rectification, deletion, or object to its processing, please do so by contacting us. For your protection and the protection of all of our users, we may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests.

Keep in mind, we may reject requests for certain reasons, including if the request is unlawful or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy of another user. Also, we may not be able to accommodate certain requests to object to the processing of personal information, notably where such requests would not allow us to provide our service to you anymore.

Links to other providers
Our website also contains - clearly recognisable - links to the websites of other companies. Insofar as there are links to websites of other providers, we have no influence on their contents. Therefore, no guarantee or liability can be assumed for these contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of these pages.

The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations and recognisable infringements at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognisable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete indications of a legal violation. Such links will be removed immediately if infringements of the law become known.

Changes and updates to the privacy policy
We kindly ask you to regularly inform yourself about the content of our privacy policy. We will amend the privacy policy as soon as changes to the information processing activities we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require an act of cooperation on your part (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.

Concerns and Contact
If you have any concerns about a possible compromise of your privacy or misuse of your personal information on our part, or any other questions or comments, you can contact us.
