Heels Up Dance Studio Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Heels Up Dance Studio, classes located in Eden Prairie and Minneapolis, Minnesota, collects, uses, and protects personal information when individuals visit our website, register for classes, participate in studio activities, or communicate with us. By using our website or services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. We collect personal information from adult students, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, and emergency contact details when needed for safety and communication. When payments are made, billing information is processed securely through third‑party payment providers, and we do not store full credit card numbers. Our website may automatically collect technical information such as IP addresses, browser types, device identifiers, pages visited, and general usage data through cookies and similar technologies to improve website performance and user experience.

As part of our studio operations, we also collect photos and videos of adult students during classes, rehearsals, performances, and studio events. These images may be used for marketing and promotional purposes, including social media posts, website content, printed materials, advertising, and studio announcements. We obtain consent for the use of images during registration or through a separate media release form. Consent may be withdrawn at any time by contacting us, and we will stop using the images going forward, except where removal is not possible for materials already printed or published.

We use the information we collect to register students for classes and events, process payments, communicate schedules and updates, respond to inquiries, provide customer support, maintain safety and emergency readiness, improve our website and services, and promote studio activities when media consent is provided. We process personal information based on consent, contractual necessity, legitimate business interests, and legal obligations. We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers such as payment processors, scheduling platforms, email communication tools, website analytics services, or event partners when necessary. These partners are required to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our students, staff, or community.

Our website may use cookies to enhance functionality, remember preferences, analyze traffic, and support marketing features. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though some website features may not function properly. We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, though no system can guarantee complete security.

Because our studio serves only adults, we do not knowingly collect information from minors, and no individuals under the age of 18 are permitted to participate in classes or studio activities. Adult students may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal information, withdraw media consent, or opt out of marketing communications by contacting us. We retain personal information only as long as necessary for class participation, legal or accounting requirements, or business operations. Photos and videos may be retained for historical or promotional purposes unless consent is withdrawn.

Our website may contain links to external sites, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third‑party websites. We may update this Privacy Policy periodically, and the “Last updated” date will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
