the participant’s accepted Terms & Conditions where applicable
compliance with legal obligations
legitimate interests in operating, securing, organising, documenting and communicating ART of programmes
legitimate interests in promoting current and future ART of programmes, subject to applicable legal requirements and the rights of the individuals concerned
consent where consent is legally required
protection of the vital interests of a participant in an emergency
Different legal grounds may apply to different processing activities.
Acceptance of the ART of Terms & Conditions forms part of the contractual framework governing participation and includes the programme media provisions described in those Terms.
ART of does not use a separate optional Yes/No Promotional Media Consent as a general condition within the Dresden application process.
Where applicable law nevertheless requires a specific separate consent for a particular type of processing or use, ART of will obtain that consent where required.
Where consent is the relevant legal basis, it may be withdrawn for future processing. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before the withdrawal or processing supported by another applicable legal basis.
8. Applicants and participants under 18
Where an applicant is under 18, ART of collects parent or guardian information and the required authorisations.
Parents or legal guardians should ensure that the information submitted for a minor is accurate and that they are authorised to provide it.
The parent or legal guardian is responsible for accepting the ART of Terms & Conditions on behalf of the minor where required.
This includes the programme participation conditions and the photography, filming and media provisions contained in the Terms & Conditions, subject to applicable mandatory law.
ART of may contact the parent or guardian to verify participation arrangements, authorisations, safeguarding information or other matters relevant to the minor’s application and attendance.
Where mandatory law requires an additional or separate authorisation or consent, ART of may request it.
9. Application decisions
Admission and scholarship decisions are made through individual human assessment.
ART of does not use solely automated decision-making or automated profiling to determine admission or scholarship awards.
Submitting an application does not create a right to admission or financial support.
10. Application-file security
Uploaded application files are stored outside the publicly accessible website directory.
Security measures include:
encrypted HTTPS transmission
server-side file-type and file-size validation
randomly generated stored filenames
restricted administrative access
password-protected application administration
CSRF protection
rate limiting
Cloudflare Turnstile bot protection
separation of public website files and private application storage
Application files are not intentionally published and should not be included as ordinary email attachments.
Authorised ART of personnel access the files only where required for application review, administration, safeguarding or legal purposes.
No internet transmission or storage system can guarantee absolute security. ART of nevertheless applies reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the information processed.
11. Email notifications and communication
After an application is submitted, ART of may receive an administrative email containing the application reference and relevant application information.
Uploaded application files should be accessed through the protected server workflow rather than being attached to ordinary notification emails.
Email transmission is normally protected in transit where supported by the participating email providers. Standard email is not necessarily end-to-end encrypted.
12. Hosting and email services
The website, application system and associated email services are hosted by:
Variomedia AG

15. Photographs, videos and media use
Photographs, audition videos and other artistic material submitted by an applicant as part of an application are primarily used for application assessment, artistic evaluation, group placement, scholarship assessment where applicable and programme administration.
Submission of such application material does not by itself authorise ART of to publish that pre-existing material for advertising or commercial promotion.
Separate rules apply to photographs, video recordings, audio recordings and other audiovisual material created by ART of or persons authorised by ART of during ART of programme activities.
During the ART of Ballet Winter Intensive Dresden, ART of and persons authorised by ART of may photograph, film, audio-record or otherwise document programme activities.
These may include:
ballet classes
pointe and technique work
variations
repertoire sessions
rehearsals
coaching
choreographic or creative workshops
body-awareness or related programme sessions
presentations
organised photography or filming sessions
registration activities
other programme-related activities
By submitting the application and accepting the ART of Terms & Conditions, the participant and, where the participant is under 18, the parent or legal guardian accept the programme media provisions contained in those Terms & Conditions.
Subject to applicable law, resulting photographs, video recordings, audio recordings and excerpts may be processed and used by ART of for purposes including:
internal documentation and archive
ART of websites and programme websites
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and other social-media platforms
organic social-media communication
paid social-media and digital advertising
brochures, flyers, posters, banners and printed programme material
newsletters
press and public-relations communication
presentations
promotional films and trailers
advertising and marketing campaigns
commercial promotion of ART of programmes and activities
promotion of current and future ART of programmes, projects and editions
communication with ART of venues, partners and collaborators where connected with ART of communication or promotion
Subject to applicable law and the applicable Terms & Conditions, ART of may crop, resize or technically adapt photographs, edit video or audio, create excerpts or compilations and combine material with text, graphics, design, ART of branding, logos or music for the permitted purposes.
The programme media provisions are not limited solely to the Dresden edition during which the material was created and may apply to communication concerning future ART of programmes and editions as described in the Terms & Conditions.
No additional remuneration is normally payable for uses covered by the accepted Terms & Conditions unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
There is no separate optional Yes/No Promotional Media Consent in the general Dresden application process. Acceptance of the Terms & Conditions forms part of the contractual framework governing programme participation and the media provisions described above.
This does not override mandatory data-protection, personality, image, child-protection or other rights that cannot legally be waived.
Where applicable law requires a specific additional consent or another particular legal basis for a certain processing activity or media use, ART of will apply the corresponding requirement.
Where a person has a statutory right to object to processing or withdraw a consent that constitutes the relevant legal basis, the request applies to future processing in accordance with applicable law.
A withdrawal or objection does not affect processing or publication that occurred lawfully before it became effective and does not automatically require the recall, destruction or reprinting of material already lawfully produced or published where applicable law does not require such action.
Privacy and media-related requests may be sent to:
contact@art-of.net
16. Recipients
Personal data may be accessed or disclosed, where necessary, to:

The destination countries and applicable safeguards may depend on the service provider used at the time of processing.
18. Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected or for an applicable legal, contractual, safeguarding, evidential or documentation requirement.
As a general policy:
incomplete and unsuccessful applications are deleted or anonymised within 12 months after the end of the relevant course edition

Requests may be sent to contact@art-of.net.
ART of may require reasonable information to verify the identity of the person making the request and to prevent personal data from being disclosed or deleted at the request of an unauthorised person.
