Dynamic Dance Center

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect through our website, in person at our studio, over the phone or email, and through forms or tools we use to register students, process inquiries, and run our programs. By using our services or providing information to us, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or share personal information with us.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Current as of" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (for example, on our website or by email). We encourage you to review this page periodically.

What information do we collect?

Depending on how you interact with Dynamic Dance Center, we may collect:

Contact and account details. Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and similar information you or a parent/guardian provide when you inquire about classes, create or manage an account, sign up for communications, or complete registration forms.
Student and family information.For enrollment, we may collect the student's name, date of birth or age, dance experience, class or camp selections, emergency contacts, and pickup authorization. Where a student is a minor, we collect this information from a parent or legal guardian.
Health and safety information you choose to share. Information relevant to safe participation (for example, allergies, injuries, or medical considerations) if you voluntarily provide it on registration forms or directly to our staff. We use this only to support student safety and program delivery, not for unrelated marketing.
Payment-related information. When you pay tuition, fees, or event charges, payment details are typically processed by our payment service providers. We may receive limited information such as confirmation of payment, partial card or account identifiers, or billing address—not full payment card numbers stored on our own servers.
Communications. Content of emails, messages, or forms you send us, including feedback or support requests.
Photos, video, and media. With appropriate consent (for example, through registration materials or release forms), we may capture or receive images or recordings from classes, rehearsals, or performances for studio operations, communication, or marketing. You may opt out or limit certain uses where we offer that choice.
Website and technical data. When you visit our website, we (and service providers that help us operate the site) may automatically collect information such as IP address, browser type, device type, general location derived from IP, pages viewed, and the dates and times of visits. See our Cookie Policy for more on cookies and similar technologies.

How do we use your information?

We use personal information for purposes such as:

Operating our studio: enrollment, scheduling, attendance, customer support, and safety;
Processing payments and fulfilling registrations for classes, camps, and events;
Communicating with you about programs, schedule changes, billing, and studio updates you have requested or that relate to your enrollment;
Sending marketing or promotional messages only where permitted by law and, where required, with your consent (you can opt out of promotional emails using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us);
Improving our website and services, analyzing usage in aggregate, and protecting against fraud or misuse;
Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our agreements.

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with vendors and partners who assist us (for example, payment processors, email or hosting providers, or software we use to manage registrations) under contracts that limit their use of the data to providing services to us. We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our students, families, staff, and the public.

Do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?

Yes. Our website may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and support basic functionality and security. Some technologies may be placed by third-party services we use (for example, analytics or embeds). You can control cookies through your browser settings. For more detail on types of cookies and your choices, please read our Cookie Policy.

How long do we keep your information?

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. For example, we may keep enrollment and payment records for the length of your relationship with us plus a reasonable period afterward, or as required by applicable law. When retention is no longer necessary, we delete or anonymize information in accordance with our internal practices and applicable rules.

How do we keep your information safe?

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use strong passwords where accounts are offered and notify us promptly if you believe your information has been compromised.

What are your privacy rights?

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information. For example, if you are a Virginia resident, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) may provide you with rights to confirm whether we process your personal data, access certain data, correct inaccuracies, delete personal data you provided, obtain a copy of data you previously provided in a portable format, and opt out of processing for targeted advertising, sale of personal data, or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (where applicable). We do not knowingly sell personal data of minors under 16 without affirmative authorization.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected information from a child in a way that is inconsistent with applicable law, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps. For enrollments involving minors, we rely on parents and guardians to provide student information and to exercise privacy choices on behalf of their children where permitted.
