World of Dance Tour Inc., a company incorporated in the United States, organiser of World of Dance France. Contact for any data-protection question: france@worldofdance.com.

2. Data we collect

Through the form (depending on your choice: participant, spectator or volunteer): chosen format; team name or dancer’s nickname / name; dance style; short introduction; country and city; Instagram and TikTok accounts (optional); number of participants; video link; representative’s first and last name; phone; email; representative’s Instagram (optional); for volunteers, experience and languages spoken.

Technical data: submission time, language, landing page and campaign parameters (utm), IP address and browser — used for security and to prevent abuse.

Meta pixel: only if you accept it (see section 7).

3. Purposes and legal bases

Assessing your application (video pre-selection) and contacting you about the event, including sending an invitation — steps taken at your request before entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Securing the website and preventing abuse — legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Measuring the performance of our ads — your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.

4. Recipients

The Organiser’s event team; our hosting provider (Hosting Ukraine, servers in Germany); Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. if you accept the pixel. We do not sell your data.

5. Transfers outside the European Union

As the Organiser is based in the United States, your data may be accessed from there. Such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards under the GDPR (in particular the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses).

6. Retention

Applications are kept until the end of World of Dance France 2027 and no longer than 24 months after our last exchange, then deleted. Technical logs are kept for no more than 12 months.

7. Cookies and the Meta pixel

The website sets no advertising cookies without your consent. If you click “Accept”, we load the Meta pixel (Facebook / Instagram) to measure visits and applications coming from our ads. If you decline, nothing is loaded.

Your choice is stored in your browser. You can change it at any time: change my choice.

8. Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and the right to withdraw consent. Email us at france@worldofdance.com; we reply within one month.

You can also lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority — in France, the CNIL (cnil.fr).
