Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you register, enroll a student, or contact us, we collect the parent or guardian's name, email address, mailing address, and phone number; the student's name and date of birth; emergency contact information; any physical limitations or medical notes you choose to share; and billing information needed to process tuition.
Payment information. Tuition payments are processed by a third-party payment processor. We do not store full card or bank account numbers on our systems.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we collect standard usage data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and time spent on the site.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
• enroll students, manage accounts, and schedule classes
• process tuition and other payments
• communicate with you about classes, schedules, closures, recitals, and account matters
• respond to your questions and requests
• send news, promotions, and information about NDA programs, unless you have opted out
• operate, secure, and improve our website and our studio operations
• comply with legal obligations
Text Messages and Mobile Information
If you provide your mobile number, you may receive text messages from NDA regarding classes, schedules, closures, events, and promotions. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to opt out, or HELP for assistance.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. We may share mobile information with subcontractors and service providers who support our messaging program, such as our messaging platform and customer service providers, and only for that purpose.
Email Communications
You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time using the link in any message or by contacting us. We will still send necessary account and class communications, such as billing notices and closure announcements.
Photos and Video of Students
We photograph and record students during classes, rehearsals, performances, and studio events. Unless you have elected the photo and video opt-out available during registration, these images may be used on our website, social media accounts, advertising, printed materials, and other NDA promotional content. We do not publish students' full names alongside images without separate permission. You may change your opt-out election at any time by contacting the studio. Please note that we cannot recall materials already printed or published prior to your request.
Children's Information
NDA serves students who are minors. Registration and account information for a student is provided by a parent or legal guardian, not by the student. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children online. If you believe a child has provided us information directly, please contact us and we will remove it.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes.
We share information only as follows:
• Service providers. We use third-party providers for studio management and registration, payment processing, email and text messaging, website hosting, and analytics. These providers may access your information only as needed to perform services for us.
• Legal requirements. We may disclose information when required by law or valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of NDA, our students, or others.
• Business transfer. If NDA is involved in a merger, sale, or transfer of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
• With your consent. We may share information for any other purpose you approve.
Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, though some parts of the site may not work properly if you do.
Data Retention
We keep student and family records for as long as the account is active and afterward as needed for our legitimate business purposes, including accounting, tax, and recordkeeping requirements, and to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices
You may review, update, or correct your account information at any time by logging into your account or contacting the studio. You may request deletion of your personal information, though we may need to retain certain records to meet legal or accounting obligations. You may opt out of promotional emails and text messages as described above, and you may change your photo and video election at any time.
Links to Other Sites
Our website may link to sites we do not operate. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Material changes will be communicated by email or a notice on our website at https://northerndance.com.
