DANCING FEET ACADEMY OF DANCE PERSONAL DATA POLICY 

Clients and their children (“you”) of Dancing Feet Academy of Dance (“us” or “we”) have rights to know what personal data of yours and your children we collect or hold, why, who it will be shared with and how long it will be kept. This policy provides that information. 

 

In order to carry out our work for you and to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations, and in order to manage our business and plan for the future (including marketing our business) we collect a range of personal data from our clients. 

 

We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, register on the site, place an order, subscribe to the newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information. Users may, however, visit our site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personally identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site related activities. 

 

We ask everyone who attends in-person classes, workshops, summer schools, courses etc. to complete an enrolment form. This asks for your name, address email and phone numbers. 

This data will be shared with our staff and professional advisers – all of whom are bound by duties of confidentiality – and may be shared with our regulators and insurers on a confidential basis. 

 

The only people with access to your information is Dancing Feet Academy’s administrators and team of teachers 

We may use third party service providers to help us operate our business and the Site or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending out newsletters or surveys. 

 

Data collected maybe stored for 7 years as either paper copies in a locked filing cabinet or will be stored in electronic form on our own in-house server, cloud-based servers and perhaps on laptops and mobile phones (or accessible from them), all of which are password-protected. 

You may review and request changes to the personal information we have on file by contacting us by mail, email, or telephone. To prevent fraud, we will only reveal limited information to requestors whose identity cannot be confirmed. We are legally required to maintain certain information regarding all transactions to prevent fraud, collect fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, and assist with investigations. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personal information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your request. However, where possible, such personal information will be deactivated from general viewing and only available to limited, specific personnel. 

 

The retention and processing of the data is based in part on your consent (given by you when accepting our terms of business, and capable of being withdrawn by you in writing or orally), in part on fulfilling our contractual obligations to you, in part to fulfil our legal obligations to government, our regulators and our insurers, and in part on protecting our own legitimate interests in connection with the running of our business. 

 

If you have any questions or concerns about our retention or use of your personal data, please contact Nadine Morrish: T – 01271 603121 E: info@dancingfeetacademy.co.uk ICO Registration Number : ZA383925
