Unless told otherwise, personal data provided to Dinner Hop, is principally used only for the purposes of log-in and the administration of an event (only for Dinner Hop initiators), for the administration and realization of registered events that are still open for registration, for obtaining e-mails and the newsletter, for communication between Dinner Hop and its users, as well as between the users themselves, and anonymously for internal statistical evaluation. This data includes your complete name, the address where you will meet your guests, your e-mail-addresses and your IP-addresses, as well as other data that Dinner Hop will inform you about.
To ensure smooth operation of a Dinner Hop event, the data provided at registration will be forwarded as follows:
