We do not sell student or family contact lists to outside businesses.

Although we take reasonable measures to protect personal information, no online system or electronic transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, improve user experience, understand visitor activity, and evaluate website performance.

Depending on our website settings and integrated services, cookies may be used for:

Essential website functionality and security.
Remembering visitor preferences.
Understanding website traffic and performance.

7. Children's Privacy

Lone Star Dance Co. offers dance and performing arts programs for children of various ages. We recognize the importance of protecting children's personal information.

Our website and online registration process are intended for use by parents and legal guardians, rather than independent registration by children under the age of 13.

Parents or legal guardians should submit all registration forms and personal information on behalf of their minor children.

We do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children under 13 through our website without appropriate parental involvement and any legally required consent.

If we learn that personal information has been collected directly from a child in a manner that does not comply with applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address the situation.

Lone Star Dance Co. may capture photographs or videos during classes, performances, recitals, and studio events for educational, promotional, or community-related purposes.

The use of identifiable student photographs or videos for marketing and promotional materials is governed by our applicable enrollment agreements, media permissions, and parental consent preferences.

Families may contact the studio with questions regarding photography permissions or requests concerning images featuring their children.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate our programs, maintain appropriate business records, fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, and support legitimate studio operations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable requirements.

When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, registration platforms, social media pages, and other external services.

These websites operate under their own privacy policies and terms of use.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy practices of external services before submitting personal information.
