7. SALE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Broadway Arts Studio does not sell personal information for money.
We do not knowingly sell the personal information of children or students.
Certain website technologies or third-party services may constitute “sharing” or similar activity under California privacy law depending on how those technologies are configured and used.
Broadway Arts Studio will honor applicable opt-out rights when required by law.
We do not knowingly sell or share for cross-context behavioral advertising the personal information of individuals we know are under 16 without the affirmative authorization required by applicable California law.
8. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Broadway Arts Studio serves children and teenagers, and much of the information relating to minor students is provided to us directly by their parents or legal guardians.
Our website and online services are primarily intended for parents, guardians, and individuals who are capable of providing information lawfully.
Children Under 13
The federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) imposes requirements on certain websites and online services that collect personal information online from children under 13.
We do not intend to knowingly collect personal information online directly from a child under 13 without the involvement or consent of the child's parent or legal guardian when parental consent is required by applicable law.
Parents and guardians should complete registration forms, account creation, payments, and other online submissions on behalf of children under 13.
If we learn that personal information has been collected online directly from a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent and the required consent was not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information or otherwise address the situation as required by law.
A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child under 13 has provided personal information directly to Broadway Arts Studio without appropriate parental involvement should contact us using the information below.
### Information About Minor Students
Parents and legal guardians may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain information associated with their minor child, subject to applicable law and legitimate record-retention requirements.
We may need to verify the identity and authority of the person making the request before providing or modifying information.
9. PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEOS, AND PERFORMANCES
Dance, theatre, voice, acting, musical theatre, camps, and live performances inherently involve photography, video, and public performances.
Broadway Arts Studio may photograph or record classes, rehearsals, productions, performances, competitions, camps, events, and other activities.
10. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
Our website, emails, text messages, or communications may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
We may also use third-party services such as DanceStudio-Pro, Google services, payment processors, email providers, messaging providers, social media platforms, and other technology providers.
Those companies operate under their own privacy policies and practices. Broadway Arts Studio is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that we do not control.
We encourage families to review the privacy policies of third-party services they use.
11. COOKIES AND ONLINE TRACKING
Our website or third-party services integrated into our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, or similar technologies.
These technologies may be used to:
* Make websites function properly;
* Remember user preferences;
* Understand website usage;
* Improve website performance;
* Measure communications or advertising; and
* Maintain security.
Browser settings may allow you to block or delete certain cookies. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some online services.
Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting.
Because there is not a universally adopted standard for responding to DNT signals, our website may not respond to traditional DNT signals.
Where applicable law requires recognition of legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signals, we will endeavor to process those signals as required by applicable law.
Third-party services operating on our website may collect information over time and across different websites subject to their own technologies, configurations, and privacy practices.
12. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
California residents may have certain rights concerning their personal information under applicable California privacy laws.

Submitting a Privacy Request
California residents, parents, or legal guardians may submit a privacy request by contacting Broadway Arts Studio using the contact information at the end of this Privacy Policy.
Please identify the request as a **Privacy Request** and provide enough information for us to understand and respond to it.
We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. When a request concerns a minor, we may also verify the requester's authority to act on behalf of the child.
An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by applicable California law. We may request appropriate documentation demonstrating the agent's authority.
13. SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION
Some information provided to Broadway Arts Studio may be considered sensitive personal information under applicable law, including certain account, financial, health, or precise identifying information.

* Providing requested services;
* Managing enrollment and payments;
* Protecting student health and safety;
* Responding to emergencies;
* Maintaining accounts;
* Preventing fraud or security incidents; and
* Complying with applicable legal obligations.
We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about individuals for unrelated purposes.
14. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
Retention periods may depend on factors such as:

* Accounting and tax requirements;
* Payment and transaction records;
* Legal and contractual obligations;
* Insurance requirements;
* Safety and incident documentation;
* Dispute resolution; and
* Legitimate business recordkeeping needs.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, destroy, anonymize, or de-identify it in accordance with our practices and applicable law.
15. DATA SECURITY
Broadway Arts Studio takes reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction.
We also use third-party platforms and service providers to perform certain functions and expect those providers to maintain appropriate security measures.
However, no method of electronic transmission, storage, website operation, or information-management system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.
Families should also take reasonable precautions to protect their passwords, accounts, devices, and personal information.
16. ACCESSING OR CORRECTING YOUR INFORMATION
Parents, guardians, students where appropriate, and other customers may contact us to request that we update or correct account or contact information.
Certain information may also be updated through your DanceStudio-Pro account or other applicable registration system.
We may retain previous information when necessary for business, financial, safety, or legal recordkeeping.
17. SOCIAL MEDIA
Broadway Arts Studio may maintain accounts on social media platforms.
Information you choose to post publicly, tag, comment on, message, or otherwise provide through a social media platform may be governed both by that platform's privacy practices and by this Privacy Policy where Broadway Arts Studio receives or maintains the information.
Please use care when posting information publicly, particularly information concerning children.
18. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
Our website may link to websites that Broadway Arts Studio does not own or control.
We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of those websites. Visiting a third-party website is subject to that website's terms and privacy policy.
19. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services, or legal obligations.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy.
If changes materially affect how we handle personal information, we may provide additional notice when required or appropriate.
We encourage families to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
