Dance Associate is committed to protecting your personal information per the original Data Protection Act 1998 and The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) effective from May 2018. We are committed to providing a safe environment for all our members.

This Privacy Notice refers to the use of any personal information, including registration forms, competitive entries and Dance and Drama examinations.

By submitting your details, we assume consent to use it for administrative purposes to enable us to provide you with the products or services you have selected. Dance Associate does NOT share your personal information with third parties. We do NOT sell your data, neither do we buy data from third parties.

Neither Dance Associate nor DanceStudio-Pro stores any credit card or financial information. These are processed through Stripe's secure payment gateway.

To contact you quickly in case of an emergency, we require a contact mobile number for a parent or guardian. In compliance with the Data Protection Act, we will ensure that all personal information is stored securely and deleted as soon as we have no reason to keep it.

All-important but non-emergency class information is sent via email using the secure Dance Studio Pro Parent Portal. We require an email address that is checked regularly for this purpose. We will only send out email information specific to your class. We may periodically send out emails relating to occasional events, summer schools or workshops that may be of interest or benefit to your child.

We email out one newsletter per week/term through a secure integration between Dance Studio Pro and Mailchimp - this contains important information regarding activities, term dates, new classes and events related to Dance Associate and our partners. You are responsible for ensuring you read this newsletter to stay updated with the school's activities.

We do not share any information with third parties unless legally requested by UK childcare authorities. Please make sure you update any changes to your personal data on your secure Parent Portal, so our records are up to date.
