Children's Privacy

Because we serve children, we take special care with how we handle their information.

​

We collect information about minor students only as necessary to provide dance instruction and manage enrollment. This information is provided by a parent or guardian, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

​

If you believe we have collected information from a child without appropriate consent, please contact us immediately and we will promptly address the concern.

Photographs and Video

From time to time, Belle Academy of Dance may take photographs or video at classes, rehearsals, recitals, or studio events for use on our website, social media, or promotional materials.

​

If you prefer that your child not be photographed or filmed, please notify us in writing. We will make every effort to honor your request.

Sharing Your Information

We may share your information with:​

​

  • Service providers who help us operate our business, such as our class management software (Dance Studio Pro), payment processors, and email marketing platforms — only as needed to deliver services to you

  • Legal authorities if required by law or to protect the safety of our students, staff, or the public

  • Successor entities in the event of a business sale or transfer, subject to the same privacy commitments

​

We require all third-party service providers to keep your information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of providing services on our behalf.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience. Cookies help us remember your preferences and understand how visitors use our site.

​

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect some features of our website.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Payment information is handled through secure, encrypted third-party processors and is never stored directly on our servers.

​

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have concerns about a specific piece of sensitive information, please contact us.

Your Choices

You have the right to:

​

  • Access the personal information we hold about you or your child

  • Correct inaccurate or outdated information

  • Request deletion of your information, subject to any legal or contractual obligations
