Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Tango Kosong (“we,” “us,” or “our”), an on-site dance school, collects, uses, and protects the personal information you provide to us through our WordPress website.
1. Information We Collect
We collect Personal Information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our dance classes, when you participate in activities on the website, or otherwise contact us.
The Personal Information we collect from forms (such as registration and contact forms) may include:
- Name: To identify you for class registration and communication.
- Email Address: To send you information about classes, schedules, and administrative updates.
- Phone Number: To contact you quickly regarding class arrangements or associated activities.
We also collect certain data automatically, as detailed in the sections below.
2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/ . After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
3. Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
4. Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
- Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
- Editor Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
5. Embedded content from other websites
Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
6. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To arrange for dance classes: This includes registration, scheduling, and payment processing (though payment details are typically handled by a third-party processor whose privacy policy you should review).
- For associated class activities: This may include communicating about performance opportunities, practice sessions, or social events related to your classes.
- To send administrative information: Such as changes to terms, conditions, and policies.
- To respond to your inquiries: To address questions and solve potential issues you might have.
- For marketing and promotional communications: If you opt-in, we may use your information to send you promotional content about new classes, special offers, or events. You can opt-out of these communications at any time.
7. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share your data with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who perform services for us or on our behalf, such as website hosting and email delivery. They will only have access to the data necessary to perform their functions and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
- Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Password Reset: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information where legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
8. How Long We Retain Your Data
The retention period for your data depends on the nature of the data:
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- Registered Users: For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
- General Inquiries/Registration Data: Information collected for class arrangement and activities is retained for as long as necessary to provide the services you have requested and for a reasonable period thereafter for administrative and archival purposes.
9. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you have the following rights:
- Right to Access/Data Portability: You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
- Right to Erasure: You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.
10. Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
11. Updates to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We encourage you to review this privacy policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
