Privacy

What we collect

• If you just browse: nothing personal. We do not ask for your name or email.
• Basic, anonymous counts may be collected to see which pages are useful, such as how many people opened the events list. This does not include your name, and it does not follow you to other websites.
• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity) are only used if they are turned on and you agree. Until you choose Allow, they are not loaded and set no cookies. The note at the end of this page says whether they are turned on right now.

Accounts

An account is optional. You only need one to like pages, save events, leave notes or share photos.

• Signing in is run by Microsoft Entra External ID (Microsoft’s sign-in service for websites, with data kept in the United States). We email you a one-time code; there is no password. Microsoft keeps your email address, the display name you chose and a sign-in record. Microsoft’s privacy statement applies to that part.
• What this website keeps: an account number, your display name, whether you are 13 or older and 18 or older (we never store your birth date), when you agreed to the rules, and what you liked, saved, wrote or uploaded. We do not keep your email address in our own records. Data is stored in Microsoft Azure in the United States.
• Sign-in cookie: after you sign in, a cookie keeps you signed in. It is needed for the account to work, so it does not need your OK. It is not used for tracking or ads.
• Notes and photos you post are public once approved, with your display name. They are checked first by an AI service (Azure AI Content Safety) and, for photos and anything unclear, by a volunteer.
• Photos: we remove hidden location data (GPS) and camera details and resize them. The original file is not kept.
• Likes are counted publicly (the number only, never who liked). Saved events are private: only you can see your list.
• Private corrections are seen only by our editors, in our private moderation queue. They are never posted publicly.
• How long we keep things: approved notes and photos stay until you delete them or your account. Rejected posts are deleted after 90 days. Our moderation log (what was decided and why) is kept for 2 years. Backups are kept for 5 weeks.
• We never sell or share your information, and we do not use it for ads.

Download or delete your data

On your account page you can download everything we keep about you, or delete your account.

Delete your account

Go to your account page, type DELETE and press Delete my account. Your profile, likes, saved events, notes, photos and the reports you sent are removed from this website right away, and your sign-in account is removed within 30 days. If you signed in with Facebook or Google, this also removes the link to that account. You can also ask us through the “Suggest a correction” form on any page.

Children

You must be 13 or older to have an account, and 18 or older to post photos. If we learn that someone under 13 signed up, we delete their information.

The map

The dance map shows map pictures from OpenStreetMap. To show those pictures, your browser asks OpenStreetMap’s servers for them, so those servers see your internet address. If you press Show places near me, your browser asks for your location. Your location stays on your device and is never sent to us.

Your settings

If you choose light or dark mode, your browser remembers it. Nothing is sent to us.

Links to other websites

Event pages link to organizers, venues and the calendars we use. Those websites have their own privacy rules.

Reporting a problem

The “Report a problem” and “Add a listing” forms are on GitHub. If you use them, GitHub’s privacy rules apply, and what you write is public. Signed-in visitors can instead send a private correction from any page.
