Privacy Policy

ACME Dance Academy ("Studio," "we," "our," or "us"), located at 67 Main St, Severna Park, MD 21146, is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our Site or contact us to learn about our programs.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you contact us, submit a trial class request, or enroll in a program, we may collect:

• Name and contact information (phone number, email address, mailing address)
• Information about the student and the program of interest (age, dance experience)
• For students under 18: we collect information from parents or guardians only, not directly from the minor student

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages visited. This information is used to understand how visitors use our Site and to improve it.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to trial class inquiries and schedule your dancer's first visit
• Communicate about enrollment options, program updates, and class schedules
• Send class reminders, recital information, and important Studio announcements
• Improve the Site and our programs based on usage patterns
• Comply with legal obligations

We will not use your information to send unrelated marketing communications without your consent, and we do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We use third-party software, including scheduling and customer relationship management tools (such as GoHighLevel), to process and manage booking requests and enrollment. These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or government authority.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of the Studio's assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you if such a transfer occurs.

4. Minors

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. For students under 18, we collect information from parents or guardians only. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have inadvertently collected information about your child without your consent, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

Parents and guardians may contact us at any time to review, update, or request deletion of their child's information held by the Studio.

Because a significant portion of our students are minors, we take extra care to handle student information with appropriate discretion. Information about individual students is not shared with other families or publicly disclosed.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, maintain accurate enrollment and billing records, and comply with applicable legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it in a reasonably secure manner.

6. Cookies

This Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect usage data and improve the Site experience. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain Site functionality.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below. We will respond to reasonable requests within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
