Regarding personal information and integrity policy
General
A piece of personal information is a piece of information that may be used to identify a physical person, such as a phone number, a social security number of a picture of a person. DS holds your personal integrity high and aims to protect your personal information in the best way. This policy describes what personal information DS is processing, why DS is processing your personal data and how. The integrity policy also describes your rights against DS and how you may excercise them. Annually we make assessments of whether the purposes of the processing of personal data still seems reasonable; if not, data will be deleted.
The members at DS can create profile pages and other pages that includes pictures and/or other media from any third party sources. Exemples of these is how a user can display a picture on his/her profile page. When material are fetched from such third party sources, there is the possibility that your IP address is visible to the source together with other potential information that your web browser may send to the source when the material is fetched (see your web browser specification for more details on how the browser handles this). You can choose if you want to be able to see third party material such as pictures and other media on user-created web pages, or if you do not wish to enable this, via the option "External material" in your settings pages and/or during membership registration.
What types of information is registered?
In order to have a membership, it is required that you associate it with an email address (but you can switch email address at anytime). We also store the IP addresses that you use during the last 3 months, in order for you to be able to see that noone else has attempted to log on to your account and so that the site administrators can protect members of site misuse. We ask for your age in order to ensure that every member is at least 18 years old (you can of course adjust your age anytime so it's correct). The processing of these data is based upon a balancing of interests in order for DS to be able to detect potential misuses and in order to provide a save and ordered environment for the clientele. DS's claim is that it is required by security aspects. Neither IP addresses or your e-mail address is accessible for other members, unless you yourself actively chooses to display your e-mail address on your profile page. If you close your membership and thereby signals that you no longer wishes this information to be processed by DS, your email and age will be deleted from our systems.
Furthermore, you have the option to publish any kind of information you like about yourself in your personal sphere. In order to be able to use certain functionality on the site, you may be asked to provide more information about yourself, such as age, sex, residential region and such; When you add sex, orientation, countru, region, city, sexual/romantical/relational interests, specify what you are looking for, which clubs you visit, writes profile texts and add pictures, it is for you to archieve a more relevant site environment where you can get in contact with like-minded and create social connections better as you then can see (and the site may show you) how you match and the site can offer recommendations based upon mutual personal- and contact data. By being open you also contribute to a safe and proud atmosphere. If you add your birth date, other members may see when your birthday is and if you fill out your interview others will be able to better understand you as a person, which might be social advantages. By entering website address and information about your precence on other internet based communication services you will become more available to other members. The basis for the processing of these data is consent / free will; you may at anytime in your settings choose which data you wish to alter, keep, delete and you always have the possibility to recall all consent to personal data processing by anytime deleting your account entirely, whereas all these pieces of information will be removed.
How data is normally used and by whom
Personal data from members are only used within the scope for the operation of DS. That includes that data you chose to contribute is displayed in the web community and used for the functionality of the web community (for example you may participate in a function that allows you to be found from searches regarding sex, if you supply information about your sex). If DS needs to send you email when you have lost your password, have opted in for notification mails or any other reason where DS needs to communicate with you, your email address is used for this. E-mails may be sent out via countries outside EU/EES but DS has taken actions to protect your personal data by ensuring that the for this used service is connected to Privacy Shield or fulfills similar protection via standard contractual clauses. The information you volontarily supply and is shown in your personal sphere and in the electronic message boards you participate in may be seen by other site members, otherwise DS never provides information to any outsider. Your information is stored within the EU.
Exceptions
Some information is DS obliged to store by law, such as what is controlled by the book keeping law if you have made any purchase at DS where transaction data needs to be stored for at least 7 years. DS bases the storage of these data upon that we have a legal obligation to do so. If your membership is suspected of rule non-conformance or misuse of the site and the membership is ended, fingerprints from the account data may be stored for a limited period of time thereafter for the purpose to assure that the misuse is not resumed or continues under other accounts. DS's claim is that this is required by security aspects. Another exception from the above is in the event of a dispute, juridical process or report, or preparations for a such, where DS may save the information that is required for DS to be able to confirm or defend the claim by some party. The processing if then based upon a balance of interests, where the justified interest of DS is that it is neccesary to process these data in order to be able to confirm or defend the claims of some party. Authorities may request, or DS may be asked to make data extracts of member data according to current legislation. One of DS appointed representative may create extracts of a member's information as the basis for authority requests, suspicion of criminal activity or rule breach. The process is then based upon a balance of interests, where the justified interest of DS is that it is neccessary to process these data in order to maintain the site security, safety and order. The legal ground for providing authorities with data extracts is based upon our legal obligation to do so.
