We only collect what we need to teach your child (or you) safely, keep in touch and take payments, and we never sell your details.

Our lawful reasons
We use your details to carry out our agreement with you (classes and payments). We keep health information because you give it to us explicitly so we can look after your child safely. We send news and offers because we have a genuine interest in doing so, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Photos and marketing cookies are only used with your consent.
Who sees your information
Only people who need it:
- Our teachers, for their own classes (including health and emergency details)
- Our booking and email system (Dance Business Solutions) and our studio app
- Stripe, for card payments, and GoCardless, for Direct Debits
- Exam boards (RAD, ISTD, Acrobatic Arts), only if your child is entered for an exam
- Emergency services, if ever needed
Some of these services store data outside the UK. When they do, they use approved safeguards such as UK data transfer agreements.
How long we keep it

|---|---|
| Enquiries and trials that don't go further | 2 years |
| Student records and health details | While they dance with us, then 1 year |

| Photos used publicly | Until you ask us to remove them |
Children
We collect children's details from their parent or carer, never directly from children under 13.
Photos
We'll always ask before using your child's photo on our website or social media. You can change your mind at any time and we'll remove it from future use.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to work properly, count visitors and measure our adverts (such as Google). You can turn non-essential cookies off in your browser.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, object to how we use it, or withdraw consent. Email [email protected] and we'll reply within one month. If you're unhappy, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
