PRIVACY POLICY

Who is responsible

The data controller is Ida Marie Strand, organizer of NORWEGIAN OPEN 2026. For any privacy questions or requests, email norwegianopenwcs@gmail.com.

This website

This website does not handle event registration. It receives personal data in two places: the shop (see "Shop orders" below) and the contact form (your name, email address, and message). Contact form messages are delivered to our email inbox (Google Gmail) and only used to answer you.

Shop orders

• What we collect: your name, email address, phone number, delivery choice, postal address (only if you choose shipping), the items you order, and your order and payment status.
• Why: to process, deliver and follow up your order, and to email you updates about it (contract, GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)). Payment is made with Vipps directly between you and us; we do not receive or store any card or bank details.
• Where it is stored: in our database at Supabase. Order emails are sent through Google Gmail, with a copy to our event inbox. These providers only process the data on our behalf; where data is processed outside the EEA, it is protected by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
• How long: order records are kept for 5 years, as required by the Norwegian Bookkeeping Act (bokføringsloven). After that they are deleted.
• Your order page: each order has a private link that only you receive by email. Anyone with that link can see the order, so please don't share it.

Registration, payments & hotel bookings

All registration, payments, and hotel bookings for NORWEGIAN OPEN 2026 are handled on DancePoint. Your registration data is stored there, and DancePoint's privacy policy explains what is collected, how long it is kept, and how to use your rights. We use that data to run your registration, check-in, hotel booking, and competitions.

Competitions & results

If you compete, your name, WSDC Competitor ID, contests entered, scores, and placements are used as follows:

• Scoring.dance: our competition scoring system. Results, including your name, placements, and score reports, are published there and stay available for at least 30 days, as required by the WSDC.
• World Swing Dance Council (WSDC): for WSDC Jack & Jill contests we must send the WSDC the list of competitors, finalists' WSDC IDs, placements, and any petitions. Results are added to the public WSDC Points Registry.

We do this because it is required to hold a WSDC Registry Event (legitimate interest, GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). Competition results are kept permanently by the WSDC and Scoring.dance as a public record.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• see the personal data we hold about you and get a copy of it;
• have wrong data corrected;
• have your data deleted, unless we must keep it by law;
• object to or restrict how we use it, including photos and video used for promotion.

Email norwegianopenwcs@gmail.com to use any of these rights. For registration data, you can also manage your account on DancePoint. For shop orders, email us with your order number.

Results already reported to the WSDC must be corrected or removed through the WSDC directly.

If you think we handle your data wrongly, you can complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, Datatilsynet.

Photos & video

Official photographers and videographers film and photograph the event, including competitions. If you do not want to appear in promotional material, tell us at registration or check-in, or email us afterwards and we will remove published images of you where possible.
