Effective Date: 02.02.2025
In the following, we would like to inform you about how we handle your personal data when you
use the Dansomania website and other Dansomania services. We also explain the rights you
are entitled to. First, a quick summary is provided, followed by our complete data protection and
privacy policy.

Summary
Responsible for data processing on this website is:
Dansomania
Graf-Adolf Str. 39
40215 Düsseldorf
The type and amount of data processing may differ from user to user and depends on how you
interact with our website and services.
Non-registered Users:
If you access our website without registering, technical data about your device and—depending
on your settings in the cookie banner—other data from individual services will be processed for
convenience, analysis, or marketing purposes. The legal bases are primarily our legitimate
interest in operating the website (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or your consent given in the cookie
banner (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).
Streaming Services:
Please note that we are a music streaming website. We use YouTube as a technical partner for
streaming, and therefore YouTube services are implemented on our website. The YouTube
services are active by default; without them, the site would display almost no content. Without
an active YouTube implementation, Dansomania is not usable. Because YouTube is a third party
and may be subject to different data protection laws and standards, we have no influence on its
data collection and use. We inform you about this in our mandatory information and cookie
consent.
Registered Users:
When you register, additional data will be collected for creating and maintaining your account.
The legal basis for this processing is the fulfillment of the contract you conclude with
Dansomania (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO).

Additional information on the payment process or any online shop usage (if applicable) is also
processed, particularly regarding payment and delivery details. The legal basis in these cases is
likewise the performance of the contract (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO).
Other Functions:
Additional data may be processed when you use functions such as:
Subscription to the newsletter
Customer support inquiries
Use of the website’s comment function
Participating in forum discussions or other interactive services

Data processed by Dansomania may be transmitted to the USA if the transmission is secured
by the standard data protection clauses from the EU Commission or if you consent to the
transmission. This does not apply to data processed by YouTube, as Dansomania has no
influence on the collection and processing of data by YouTube.

Dansomania Privacy Policy

1. Scope of this Privacy Policy
1.1 This data protection notice contains information about the processing of personal data when
you use our website at www.dansomania.com and the services offered therein.
1.2 This notice applies solely to our website and the servers we use. It does not include the
content or websites of third parties to which we only provide links. This applies, for example, to
social media networks (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) where your personal data might be
processed by the respective operator. For details on how your personal data is handled on
these platforms, please refer to their own privacy policies.
1.3 Dansomania is a streaming website. As such, we rely on the implementation of YouTube for
streaming. Without YouTube, no streaming is possible and our website would lack its primary
content. YouTube is a third party and may be subject to different data protection laws and
standards. Dansomania has no influence on YouTube’s data practices. You are informed of this
situation in our mandatory information and cookie consent before entering the site.

3. General Information on Data Processing
3.1 Scope of Processing
In principle, Dansomania processes your personal data as necessary for providing a functional
website and to offer you content and services. Personal data is generally processed only with
your consent. An exception applies if obtaining prior consent is not possible and the processing
is permitted by law, especially for processing data necessary for performing contracts with you.
3.2 Legal Bases for Processing
Consent: When we have obtained your consent, Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO serves as the legal
basis.
Contractual Necessity: If processing is necessary to fulfill a contract with you, Article 6(1)(b)
DSGVO applies (this includes pre-contractual measures).
Legal Obligations: Processing may also be based on Article 6(1)(c) DSGVO if required by law.

Vital Interests: In certain cases, processing may be necessary to protect your vital interests or
those of another person (Article 6(1)(d) DSGVO).
Legitimate Interests: Finally, processing is permitted under Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO if it is
necessary to protect a legitimate interest of Dansomania or a third party, provided that your
rights and freedoms do not override that interest.

3.3 Erasure and Storage Duration
Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was collected
no longer applies, unless domestic or European law requires a longer retention period. Data will
be blocked or deleted once the storage period prescribed by applicable laws expires, unless
necessary for contractual or legal obligations.

Log file data is used to ensure website functionality, optimize the site, and secure our IT
systems. The data is not used for marketing purposes. Data is deleted once it is no longer

of the user session (or within seven days), and longer storage may be applied only after
anonymizing the IP addresses.

The Dansomania website uses embedded videos and streams from YouTube, operated by
Google. YouTube enables convenient video playback and is essential for displaying the primary
content of our site. With your consent (given via the front banner), YouTube is activated. Without
YouTube, Dansomania is not usable.
9.2 Data Processing by YouTube
Dansomania cannot rule out that your usage behavior is evaluated by YouTube (e.g., for
counting video views), and such evaluations may be assignable to individual users. Google
processes the data collected via YouTube for its own purposes as described in its privacy policy.
Dansomania has no influence over these practices, and Google may also transfer data to third
countries (e.g., the USA).
9.3 Consent Withdrawal
You can revoke your consent for YouTube integration at any time (affecting only future data
processing) by reloading the page and declining the data processing in the introductory banner.

 

10. Google Analytics

10.1 Use of Google Analytics
With your consent, Dansomania uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by
Google Ireland Limited. Google Analytics collects technical data (including a truncated IP
address using the “_anonymizeIP()” function) to help us understand user interactions on our
website. Data is collected via cookies that may include a unique user ID, stored for up to 2
years.
10.2 Purpose

Google Analytics helps us evaluate website usage, create activity reports, and provide us with
insights related to website performance and user interactions.
10.3 Data Processing by Google
Google may process this data for its own purposes (e.g., product improvement, advertising
effectiveness, market research). If you are logged into Google, your data may be associated
with your user account. To prevent this, log out of Google Analytics before activating it. Please
refer to Google’s privacy policy for further details: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
10.4 Data Storage
The collected data is stored on Google’s servers, which may be located in the USA. By
consenting to the use of Google Analytics, you agree to such data transfers.
10.5 Legal Basis
The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can
withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie banner.
