The Isle of Man Dance Teachers Association (IOMDTA) is committed to handling personal information responsibly and in line with recognised data protection principles. We only collect and use personal data where it is necessary to support the running of competitions, events, and associated activities.
In the course of organising competitions, the IOMDTA may hold limited personal information relating to dancers, affiliated dance schools, teachers, and parents or guardians. This may include names, dance school affiliations, and competition-related details required for entries, scheduling, and results. This information is used solely for the administration and delivery of events.
Where trophies or shields are awarded, a record may be kept of the recipient’s name and, where appropriate, a parent or guardian may be asked to sign to acknowledge responsibility for the return of the award. This information is used only for record-keeping and to ensure the safe return of trophies for future competitions.
Personal information is not used for marketing purposes and is not sold, shared, or distributed to third parties. Information may only be shared where necessary to deliver competitions or where required by law.
The IOMDTA takes reasonable steps to ensure that any information held is accurate, relevant, and kept only for as long as necessary. Records are maintained securely and access is limited to those involved in the organisation of events.
This website may contain links to external websites for additional information or resources. The IOMDTA is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites, and users are encouraged to review their policies independently.
As an association working with affiliated dance schools, responsibility for the collection and management of detailed personal data relating to dancers remains with the individual schools and teachers. The IOMDTA does not centrally manage or store extensive personal records beyond what is required for competition administration.
Individuals have the right to request access to any personal information held about them and to request corrections where appropriate. Requests relating to personal data should be made through the contact details provided on this website.
The IOMDTA aims to ensure that all data handling is carried out fairly, lawfully, and transparently, reflecting the core principles of data protection including accuracy, security, and limited use.
