Dance Loft on 14 (Moveius Contemporary Ballet dba Dance Loft on 14)

Dance Loft on 14 ("Dance Loft," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, danceloft14.org (the "Site"), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information you give us. We collect information you provide directly, such as when you:

  • Fill out a contact, inquiry, registration, or lead form
  • Sign up for our email newsletter or class updates
  • Register or pay for a class, workshop, event, or theater rental
  • Purchase items from our online store
  • Make a donation

This may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, billing information, and any details you include in a message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, links clicked, the page that referred you, and the dates and times of your visits. We collect this through cookies and similar technologies (see "Cookies and Tracking" below).

Payment information. Payments for classes, store purchases, and donations are processed by third-party payment processors (such as Stripe, Shopify, and Give Lively). We do not store full payment card numbers on our systems.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and provide the services, classes, and events you request
  • Process registrations, purchases, and donations
  • Send you newsletters, class updates, marketing, and event information (you can opt out at any time)
  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our programs
  • Measure the performance of our advertising and marketing, including lead-generation ads
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect the rights and safety of our organization and community

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and support our advertising. These include:

  • Analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand site traffic and usage.
  • Advertising and conversion tools (such as the Meta/Facebook Pixel and Google Ads tags) that help us deliver ads to people who may be interested in our programs and measure whether those ads lead to inquiries, sign-ups, registrations, or donations.
  • Email and lead-capture tools (such as ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact, and Mailmunch) that help us manage forms, sign-ups, and email communications.

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Site may not work as intended. You can also opt out of certain interest-based advertising at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to run our organization, including with:

  • Service providers who operate the Site and our programs on our behalf — for example, our website host (Squarespace), email marketing platforms (ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact, Mailmunch), our online store (Shopify), our donation platform (Give Lively), and payment processors (Stripe). These providers may use your information only to perform services for us.
  • Advertising platforms (such as Meta and Google) in connection with the ads described above.
  • Legal and safety purposes — when required by law, to respond to legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Dance Loft on 14, our participants, or others.

Email Communications

If you sign up for our emails, we'll send you newsletters, class and event updates, and occasional marketing. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. You may still receive non-marketing messages related to a transaction you've made (such as a registration or donation confirmation).

SMS / Text Message Communications

If you provide your mobile phone number through a form on our Site, you consent to receive recurring automated text messages (such as mobile alerts, class updates, and event information) from Dance Loft on 14 at the number you provide. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase. Message frequency varies (approximately 4 messages per month). Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time, or HELP for help.

We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or your text-messaging consent (opt-in) with any third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile opt-in information is used solely to send the messages you have signed up to receive. Your consent and the categories of information related to text messaging are excluded from any information sharing described elsewhere in this policy.

Your Choices and Rights

You may:

  • Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any message
  • Ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you
  • Opt out of cookies and interest-based advertising as described above

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below, and we will respond as required by law.

Children's Privacy

Many of our programs serve children, and parents or guardians often register on their behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us information without consent, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" above. Significant changes will be posted on this page.
