How We Disclose Personal Information
Our company is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall. All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com and used by our company adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
Catch Dance Academy does NOT share your personal information with any third parties for marketing purposes. We do not sell your data, and neither do we buy data from third parties.
Taking, Storing and Using Images of Students
Certain uses of images are necessary for publicising and updating other parents of Catch Dance Academy services and activities. Parental consent is always required before any photograph can be taken, stored or used and all are given the option to give consent for the school to take still or moving images and to use them in terms of marketing the school on:
- Our website
- Or Internally for progress tracking
If consent is given for a still or moving image of your child to be used for any of the external marketing purposes, please be informed that these are public domains and can be viewed by anyone.
Should an image be used in any marketing publication, website or social media site there will be no use of names alongside images other than in special circumstances (such as getting into a dance school, or other achievements). In these very special cases parental consent will be asked, and Catch Dance Academy will only ever use a first name to protect privacy.
At any time consent can be withdrawn to the taking, storing or use of images by contacting catchdanceacademy@gmail.com
How long we retain your personal information
It depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts and policies. We keep the information we hold about our customers and students for as long as is necessary to deliver the services we are providing you with. After leaving the school we will keep any necessary data stored securely for one year after current use before deletion.
