Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 4, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how lockaid collects and uses your personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly. This policy explains what information we gather, how we use it, and the rights you have regarding your data.
Information We Collect
We collect information in several ways to provide and improve our services. When you browse our website, we automatically collect certain technical data including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the time spent on each page. This helps us understand how visitors interact with our platform and identify any technical issues.
If you register for events, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us directly, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and location preferences. You may also provide information about your dance experience level and preferred event types. We only collect information that is necessary to fulfill your requests and provide relevant dance event recommendations across Dublin, Wexford, Galway, Sligo, and the Wild Atlantic Way region.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to deliver our core services: helping you discover salsa socials, bachata weekends, and seasonal Latin festivals suited to your interests and location. Your data enables us to send personalized event notifications, match you with appropriate gatherings for people 45 plus, and improve our event calendar accuracy and relevance.
We also use aggregated, non-identifying information to analyze trends, understand user preferences, and enhance our website's performance and user experience. This helps us develop better features and provide more valuable resources for discovering dance events across Ireland. We never sell your personal information to third parties.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, review, and request corrections to your personal information at any time. If you wish to delete your account or have your data removed from our systems, you can submit a request to us. We will process your request within thirty days in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.
You may opt out of promotional communications by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly. However, we may continue to send essential service communications related to events you've registered for or important updates about your account. You also have the right to withdraw consent for cookies and tracking technologies through your browser settings.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and remember your preferences. These small files help us understand which events you're interested in, maintain your session, and provide personalized content recommendations. Essential cookies are necessary for our website to function properly, while optional cookies help us analyze usage patterns and improve our services.
You can control cookie settings through your web browser. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our website. We respect your privacy choices and do not track your activity across other websites unless you explicitly consent to such tracking.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, and disclosure. Our website uses secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to safeguard data transmitted between your browser and our servers. We maintain appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your information.
However, no security system is completely impenetrable. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any passwords or access credentials associated with your account. Please report any suspected security breaches to us immediately.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this document. Your continued use of our website following any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information. If you have any questions about our privacy practices or wish to exercise your rights, please don't hesitate to reach out to us using the contact information below.
