Privacy Policy

Danceapply (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. We have prepared this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) to describe to you our practices regarding the information that we collect from users on our Website (“Website”) and the products and services offered through the Website (collectively, the “Services”).
We strive to educate parents and children about how to appropriately safeguard their privacy when using our Services. We are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), which requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about our information collection and use practices. COPPA also requires that we obtain parental consent before we allow children under the age of 13 to access and/or use our Services. We urge children to check with their parents before entering information through our Site and/or Services, and we recommend that parents discuss with their children restrictions regarding the online release of personal information to anyone they do not know.
By visiting our Site and/or using our Services, or by permitting your child to use our Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms of Service.

By blocking or deleting Cookies used on our Website, you may not be able to take full advantage of our Services.

    Marketing Companies. We work with a number of companies that assist in marketing our Services to you on third party websites. These companies may collect information about online activities conducted on a particular computer, browser, or device over time and across third-party websites or online services for the purpose of delivering advertising that is likely to be of greater interest to you on our Website and those of third parties.

    Analytics Companies. We work with a number of third-party analytics companies that collect information anonymously and report trends without identifying individual visitors. These services allow us to view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with the Services so we can improve our Website and understand how people find and navigate it.

  • As of October 1, 2019, if you are a Nevada resident, you may opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information. To do so, please contact us at via email info@danceapply.com and title the subject of your email “Nevada Privacy Rights Opt-Out Request.” In response, we will request information from you to verify your identity. We will respond to your request, once verified, within 60 calendar days (with a possible 30 day extension upon notice to you) unless determined that these requirements are not applicable to us, in which case we will inform you as such.

  • We are fully compliant with COPPA. We do not collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without the consent of a parent or legal guardian, except in limited circumstances authorized by law. We do not ask for more Personal Information than is necessary for a child to participate in the Services of the Website. We take steps to prevent children from posting or publicly disclosing personal information without parental consent, such as monitoring or screening and use of filtering technologies.

  • We refer to users under the age of 13 as “minors.” To participate in the Services, we will ask your child to register. Sometimes we will ask your child to make up a special password so that only they can see their customized areas. We use technology, like cookies, to recognize visitors by their username when they use or revisit the Services, and to provide us with important information that helps us understand features and areas of most interest. We may also use these technologies to screen for age.

    We may sometimes need a child’s email address, your email address, or both. We may ask a child for your email address, so we can notify you of your child’s interest in our Services. In the limited circumstances where we might collect your child’s email address without getting your consent first (see more below), if we need more than just your child’s first name (or screen name) and email address for your child to participate in our Service, we will ask your child for your email or mailing address so that we can notify you of your child’s request and get your permission. When we ask for your permission, we will tell you what we will do with the information you or your child provides us, and how you can review your child’s information and ask us to delete the information. With your consent, we may collect other personal information from your child such as a last name or home address when the information is necessary for a particular activity.

    We may sometimes need a child’s email address, your email address, or both. We may ask you to register your child with an email address of your choosing. You can monitor your child’s interest in our Services, and we can notify you of your child’s activity. We will tell you what we will do with the information you or your child provides us, and how you can review your child’s information and ask us to delete the information. We may collect other personal information from your child such as a last name or home address when the information is necessary for a particular activity.

    We don’t keep your (or your child’s) email address unless you consent to it. If social networking opportunities are available through our Services, they are structured so that no personal information is shared between visitors unless parental consent is obtained.

    We might collect an email address and first name (or screen name) from your child without your consent, but only in the following special cases:

    (i) If a child sends a request to us, we keep their email address for long enough to respond to them. We retain this information only as long as needed for our records. When feasible, we delete this information from our system after we answer their question.

    (ii) If a child signs up for an email newsletter or other activity that requires multiple online contacts with the child, we also ask the child for a parent’s or legal guardian’s email address, so we can notify you and give you an opportunity to opt out.

    We may ask for certain information that is not personally identifiable, like city and state, birth month and day, gender, hobbies, etc., to help us understand our visitors and improve our Services.

    We also use technology and work with third-party technology partners to recognize returning visitors, for research, and for other purposes, including to screen under-age visitors from certain features or areas intended for older visitors, and to get certain automatically collected information automatically. We ask our advertising agency service partners under contract with us to comply with self-regulatory guidelines on targeted advertising.

    Your child can navigate to the general Internet through most of our Website and/or Services that can be accessed through a Service, but that navigation is governed by the third party’s privacy practices, and not this Privacy Policy. We recommend that you check the applicable privacy policies and terms of use each time you use any website, online service, or app so you understand how your and your children’s personal information will be collected and used, and by whom.

    We encourage you to spend time with your children when they are online or using any mobile device or connected product so you understand the features of the Service and the activities they allow, and to adopt available device and browser controls that reflect your preferences about your children’s ability to access the internet or make purchases online.

    Upon proper identification, a parent or legal guardian may access and review the Personal Information we have collected about their child, update their child’s contact details, request deletion, or refuse to allow further collection or use of the information. Use the “login-as” functionality within your parental guardian account to access, update, or delete your children’s information.

    Please note, however, if you ask us to delete your child’s information, your child may not be able to participate in some of the Services and may become ineligible to the program to which they applied.

    For more information about the protection of children’s information, please see the Federal Trade Commission’s website at https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/privacy-and-security/children%27s-privacy.

We take steps to verify the identity of anyone requesting information about a child and to ensure that the person is in fact the child’s parent or legal guardian.

    We reserve the right to retain any personal information, unless requested to be deleted by a parent or legal guardian of a child under the age of 13, reasonably necessary to appropriately document our business activities and record retention purposes. We will store personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. You may request deletion of your personal information by us, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your request where required by law, but please note that we may be required to keep such information and not delete it or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements. When we delete any information, it will be deleted from the active database, but it may remain in our archives. We may also retain your information for fraud or similar purposes.
