Introduction

Welcome. Ensemble Performing Arts Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its affiliated entities (“Ensemble Schools,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), understand that privacy is important to you and we want you to know that we are committed to safeguarding your Personal Information (defined below). This Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information. It also describes your Personal Information rights and choices, and how you may exercise those rights.

This Privacy Policy applies to the Personal Information we collect when you use our Services (as defined herein), which includes when you:

  • Visit our websites, including ensembleschools.com, all subdomains, and all portals, and other websites that link to this Privacy Policy (each a “Website” or “Site”).
  • Become a subscriber to our newsletters or create an account with us.
  • Sign up for a class or lessons with us.
  • Purchase or rent a product through a Website.
  • Submit a form or other feedback to us.
  • Visit our studio(s) or event spaces in person.
  • Attend one of our events.
  • Communicate with us by phone, text, web form or in any interactive chat feature on a Website.
  • Receive emails, promotions, advertisements, or surveys from us.
  • Connect with us through your social media account(s).
  • Otherwise interact or engage with us, our products, or our Services.

This Privacy Policy, together with our Terms of Use, our relevant terms of business, or other contract(s) between you and the Company (each as they may be applicable) and any other privacy notice we may supply at the time we collect Personal Information, set out the basis on which the Company processes your Personal Information. As to Company personnel, this Privacy Policy is supplemented by other Company notices and policies applicable to its personnel. The Company provides lesson scheduling and asynchronous online teaching products through its various schools and other businesses accessible through the Websites. The Websites, the apps and any scheduling, teaching and sales offerings, and other offerings may be referred to collectively as “Service(s).” Among others, we offer our Services to parents of students at our music schools and dance studios and their affiliates, parents of students renting instruments, music, dance, and other applicable teachers, music and dance students, their families, school systems, producers and promoters of dance conventions and competitions, and potential sellers of music and dance studios and related businesses. Our events, lessons, instrument rentals, and other activities may involve minors, including children under 13, so this Privacy Policy also describes how we collect, use, and protect Personal Information about children, as described in the Children’s Privacy section below. Our Services are offered only in the United States and are not directed to individuals located outside the United States.

In most cases, Personal Information is provided to us by studio owners, parents, legal guardians, or other adults acting on a participant’s behalf.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any products, services, websites, or content that are offered by third parties (“Third Party Services”), which are governed by their respective privacy policies. This Privacy Policy also does not apply to Personal Information that we process on behalf of our business customers as a service provider or processor, including through the studio management software we license, which is governed by our agreements with those customers and by those customers’ own privacy policies.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before continuing to view our Websites or using our Services. By accessing the Websites and/or using our Services, you affirm that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by this Privacy Policy, and you consent to the information collection practices described in it. Your access to and use of the Services is also subject to our Terms of Use. If you use the Services on behalf of another individual, including a child, you represent to us that you are authorized to accept this Privacy Policy on that individual’s behalf, and you do accept it on that individual’s behalf.

This Privacy Policy Describes:

Types of Personal Information We Collect

“Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated or linked, directly or indirectly, with an individual consumer or household. Personal Information does not include information that is publicly available, de-identified, or aggregated.

We collect different categories of information that you provide to us, which may include the following:

  • Identifiers and contact information, such as name, date of birth, mailing address, email address, telephone number, and other contact details.
  • Payment information, such as billing information, payment card and bank account information to the extent we process your payment information directly and do not utilize an external payment processor. When we partner with a third-party payment processor for credit and debit card payments, we do not receive your payment information. When you provide your payment card information on our Websites, that information is stored with our third-party payment processor.
  • Account information, such as your username and passwords if you maintain an account on our Websites.
  • Marketing data, such as your preferences for receiving our newsletters, promotional materials, and marketing communications, your communications patterns and preferences with our personnel (including via email or other means), your areas of interest, products viewed or searched for on the Websites, and information from marketing activities to which you may have responded or in which you may have participated.

  • General geolocation and other location information, such as an approximate location of the device you are using to interact with us (based on your IP address), your country, state, or county of residence or business operation. If you no longer wish for us or our service providers to collect and use device location information, you may disable the location features on your device; please note that if you do so, your ability to access certain features, Services, content, or products may be limited.
  • Performing arts experience and class, lesson, or event participation information, such as instrument played and information provided to us by or on behalf of our students or generated by us in the course of, or relating to, providing our Services.
  • Audio, electronic, and visual information, such as video or photographs of you at our events, email communications you may send to us, voicemails you may leave us, and images captured at our studio(s) or events, if any.
  • Professional and employment information, such as company name, job title/function, department, website, company telephone number and email address, and, if you apply for a position with us, and any other information you provide in your application.
  • Any other information you choose to provide, such as information about your other hobbies or interests or other information you may provide us in your communications with us.
  • Information created or inferred based on other Personal Information, such as information from the use of our Services that we use to detect fraudulent behavior, and/or to infer your preferences about our Services to send you personalized content that we think you may be interested in.

How and from Whom We Collect Your Personal Information

The types of information we collect from you, and how we collect that information, depends on the nature of your interaction with the Websites and our Services.

From Users of our Service

We may ask users of our Services to provide us with certain basic information at the outset of and throughout the course of your relationship with us, in various ways, such as:

  • When you request information from us about the Services we provide;
  • Through our provision of Services or information to you;
  • During the course of our dealings with you;
  • When you provide information to us by filling in forms on our Website (such as signing up for a class or event, or signing up for our newsletter);
  • When you provide us information in relation to your attendance at or interest in any of our classes, lessons, or other events;
  • When you contact or otherwise communicate with us via email, phone, text, and chat (if available);
  • When you report a problem with our Website or Services;
  • When you visit one of our studios.

In all instances, your decision to provide us with information is voluntary, but if you choose not to provide any requested information, you may not be able to take advantage of all of our Services.

From General Visitors to the Websites

See the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section below.

From Those who Interact with Third-Party Websites or Other Third Parties

The Services may include functionality that allows certain kinds of interactions between the Websites and your account on a third-party website or application. The use of this functionality may involve the third-party website providing information to us. For example, vendors who perform functions that support our Services, such as lesson scheduling, providing asynchronous online teaching products, payment processing, and customer service. We may provide links on the Websites to facilitate sending a communication from the Websites. These third parties may retain any information used or provided in any such communications or activities and these third parties’ practices are not subject to this Privacy Policy. We may not control or have access to your communications through these third parties. Further, when you use third-party websites or services, you are using their services and not our services and they, not we, are responsible for their practices. You should read the applicable third-party privacy policies before using such third-party tools on our Websites. We may also receive Personal Information about you from other third-parties, such as from our business contacts, partner groups, other students, or those involved in the provision of our Services. For example, a trade show or industry event may provide us with a list of attendees, which we may use to communicate with those attendees. We may combine information we receive from third parties with information we have collected from you or through your use of the Services.

Marketing Information

Surveys: From time to time, we may invite you to participate in an online survey administered by Ensemble Schools or a third-party agent. In addition to questions about your experience with the Services, these surveys include Personal Information such as name and email and may request additional profile information. The results of these surveys help us better understand the needs of our customers in order to improve the Services and may be shared in aggregate format with third parties.

Testimonials: We may display videos of recital or competition participants, music and dance instructors, and others on our Websites. With your consent, we may post your testimonial along with your name, company, title, logo, or profile photo.

Referrals: We may invite you to participate in a referral program to inform your colleagues and friends about our Services. If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our Services, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address, which we understand you are authorized to provide.

Videos: We may retain video and audio recordings of the sessions which we post on our Facebook pages and other media.

Third party advertisers: We may share advertisements from partners including past and current marketing partners.

Consent To Electronic Communications and Text Messages

By using the Services, you consent to receiving certain recurring electronic communications from us as further described in this Privacy Policy. You agree that any referrals, notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing. We may send text messages (including ‘SMS’ messages and messages through other messaging platforms) to you directly or via third-party providers in accordance with this Section.

Except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, by using the Services, you consent to receive text messages from us at any phone or mobile number that you provide to us. By providing any such phone or mobile number to us, you represent to us that you are authorized to provide the foregoing consent with respect to such number. You are not required to grant the foregoing consent in this paragraph as a condition of your use of the Services, and you can indicate that you do not intend to provide such consent by sending an email to that effect to legal@ensembleschools.com prior to using the Services. Furthermore, you can revoke the foregoing consent in this paragraph, by contacting us at legal@ensembleschools.com.

You may receive a text message from us in relation to use of the Website and Services. You can stop receiving text messages at any time by replying ‘STOP’ to the message or following the opt-out instructions as otherwise indicated in the text message. To the extent indicated in the text message, you may reply ‘HELP’ if you need assistance.

As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Message frequency may vary and depends on your interaction with Ensemble Schools, the Website and the Services. You should contact your wireless provider with any questions. Please keep all information accurate and up-to-date. For all further questions about the electronic communications and text messages, please send an email to legal@ensembleschools.com.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

In addition to information that you choose to submit to us, we and/or our analytics or advertising partners may automatically collect and/or store certain Personal Information about you and your devices when you visit or interact with the Websites (“Usage Information”) by using Cookies (defined below), pixels, web beacons (small tags placed on our pages and messages), embedded scripts, eTags, browser fingerprinting, and recognition technologies that attempt to recognize or make assumptions about users and devices, as well as similar technologies developed in the future (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”). This Usage Information may be stored and/or accessed from your personal computer, laptop, tablet, mobile phone or other device (a “Device”) whenever you visit or interact with our Websites. Usage Information may include:

  • Your IP address, IDFA, Android/Google Advertising ID, IMEI, or another unique identifier.
  • Your Device functionality (including browser, browser language, operating system, hardware, mobile network information).
  • Referring and exit web pages and URLs;
  • The areas within our Sites that you visit and your activities there, including remembering you and your preferences;
  • Your Device location or other geolocation information, including the zip code, state or country from which you accessed the Services;
  • Your Device characteristics; and
  • Certain other Device data, including the time of day you visit our Websites.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before setting or accessing certain Tracking Technologies on your Device.

“Cookies” are small data files that websites send to your computer or device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings in your browser. Some of the Tracking Technologies are necessary for our Websites’ basic features and technical functions, such as Cookies used for website security (e.g., user authentication) or website technical statistics (e.g., page and video load times, site crashes). We also may use Cookies and Tracking Technologies to (i) analyze the usage of our Websites (e.g., count the number of unique visitors and their interactions with our Websites) and help us improve our Websites and services to you; (ii) enhance and customize your experience (e.g., storing your username so you can log in easily or keeping you logged in after you provided your password); and (iii) serve you tailored advertising content, including advertising content on third-party sites.

You can accept or reject Tracking Technologies (unless they are strictly necessary for our Website to function properly) by clicking Your Privacy Choices. Rejecting some types of technologies may impact your experience on our Websites, as certain features may be unavailable. You can also adjust your browser settings to turn off or block the use of Cookies, although this may result in some parts of our Websites not being available to you. You can also adjust your browser settings to notify you when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to reject it or not.

We utilize Google’s Consent Mode v2 to respect your privacy preferences. This framework allows us to adjust the behavior of our Website tags, such as Google Analytics and Google Ads, based on the consent choices you provide via our cookie preference tool. If you decline consent for Cookies or advertising tracking, we may utilize Google’s “Advanced Consent Mode.” This configuration enables us to measure site performance using anonymous, non-identifiable signals, often referred to as cookie-less pings, which do not utilize Cookies or unique identifiers. These signals allow Google to create statistical models that help us understand general site traffic and conversion trends, without tracking you individually or storing trackers on your device.

You can use your browser settings to determine which type of Cookies you have allowed, and you can delete existing Cookies (usually within your browser’s tools, options, or privacy settings). Subject to your Cookie settings, we may use Google Analytics to monitor usage levels of our Website. For more information on Google Analytics, visit https://support.google.com/analytics. You can reject Google Analytics’ Cookies by rejecting these Cookies via our cookie preference tool or changing your browser settings as described above. Google also provides a Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on for web browsers, which prevents Google Analytics from collecting information about Website visits. You may also opt out of certain interest-based advertising through the industry tools at the Digital Advertising Alliance (www.aboutads.info/choices) and the Network Advertising Initiative (www.networkadvertising.org/choices), and through the settings offered by individual advertising platforms. We do not control these opt-out mechanisms or whether any particular company participates in them, and we are not responsible for their continued availability or accuracy. Even if you exercise these choices, you may continue to receive advertising that is not based on your interests, such as contextual advertising.

Please review the Notice at Collection for more information about choices individuals residing in California and other states may have with respect to information collected via these technologies.

How We Disclose Your Personal Information

We may disclose your Personal Information in the following circumstances:

The information that you supply directly to any Third-Party Service Provider shall be governed by the applicable Third-Party Service Provider’s privacy policy.

We may provide these vendors with access to user information to carry out the services they are performing for you or for us. Those vendors may have additional or different privacy policies and/or privacy notices. You should be sure that you read and agree to those policies and terms.

For example, some of our Websites use DanceComp Genie to provide online registration, event management, payment processing, and related services for our competitions, and we share Personal Information with Dance Comp Genie as necessary for them to perform these services on our behalf, in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our contracts with them.

To Protect the Rights of the Company and Others. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we may also disclose your information when required to by law or if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary or appropriate to: (i) protect or defend the rights, safety or property of the Company, third parties or the general public; or (ii) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of a third party. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud prevention, spam/malware protection, and other similar purposes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we have complete discretion in electing to make or not make such disclosures, and to contest or not contest any requests for such disclosures, all without notice to you.

Disclosure to Law Enforcement. We may be required to disclose your Personal Information: (i) in the event that we believe that the Services are being or have been used to commit unlawful acts; or (ii) if the information is subpoenaed or requested pursuant to any court order or lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; provided, however, that, where permitted by applicable law, we shall provide you with e-mail notice, and opportunity to challenge the subpoena/court order, prior to disclosure of any personal information pursuant to a subpoena.

In connection with a Business Transfer. We also reserve the right to disclose and transfer all information: (i) to a subsequent owner, co-owner or operator of the Websites and/or our Services; or (ii) in connection with a merger, consolidation, restructuring, the sale of substantially all of our interests and/or assets or other corporate change, including during any due diligence process; or (iii) if we are the subject of bankruptcy proceedings.

Where required by applicable law, we will notify you by email and/or by a prominent notice on the Websites of any change in ownership or in the uses of your Personal Information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your Personal Information.

To Affiliates of the Company. We may provide information to affiliates and nonaffiliated third parties who perform services or functions for us in conjunction with our services to you, but only if we have a contractual agreement with the other party which prohibits them from disclosing or using the information other than for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

At your Direction or Consent. Where you provide consent, we share your information as so directed or described at the time of consent, such as when authorizing a third-party application or website to access your Company account or participating in promotional activities by the Company or third parties.

As explained in the Marketing Information section above, we also may share your information, including your Personal Information, with our affiliates and other third parties, such as companies with whom we have marketing or other relationships, for direct marketing purposes.

For more information, see Your Privacy Choices and State-Specific Privacy Rights Information.

Analytics, Advertising, and Social Media Partners. We may disclose your Personal Information to our third-party analytics, advertising and social media partners, where some of these partners may use such information for their own purposes, including to market products or services to you or tailor ads displayed to you (including ads displayed on third-party websites) to your interests and interactions with our services.

Business Partners. We may disclose your Personal Information to our business partners, or co-sponsors of events we may organize, manage, or host.

To the Other Users of the Services. We may share information about you, such as your username, and other information that will help others using our Services understand your connections with the Company. Your account privacy settings may allow you to limit the other users who can see the personal information in your user profile and/or what information in your user profile is visible to others. We do not have a public online community space. Please remember that any content you upload to your public user profile, along with any personal information or content that you voluntarily disclose online in a manner other users can view (on discussion boards, in forums, messages and chat areas, etc.) becomes publicly available, and can be collected and used by anyone. Your username may also be displayed to other users if you send messages or comments or upload images or videos through the Services and other users can contact you through messages and comments.

De-identified and Aggregated Information. We may aggregate and/or de-identify your Personal Information such that it is no longer able to be linked to you or your Device(s). This Privacy Policy does not limit our ability to use or disclose such aggregated or de-identified information, which we may disclose in our sole discretion. To the extent we process any aggregated and/or de-identified information, we will maintain and use such information in aggregated and/or de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify the information, unless permitted by applicable law.

AI Training. For Connecticut and Vermont residents, we do not collect, use, or sell your Personal Information for training AI tools such as Large Language Models (LLMs).

Enforcement of Terms and Conditions of Service. We may disclose your Personal Information to enforce or apply our terms and conditions of service.

Integrating Social Networking Services

As one of our unique features, you may be able to enable or log in to the Services via various social networking services like Facebook, Google, You Tube, LinkedIn, Instagram or X (“Social Networking Service(s)”). By directly integrating these services, we make your online experiences richer and more personalized. To take advantage of this feature, we will ask you to log into or grant us permission via the relevant Social Networking Service. When you add a Social Networking Services account to the Services or log into the Services using your Social Networking Services account, we will collect relevant information necessary to enable the Service to access that Social Networking Service and your data contained within that Social Networking Service. As part of such integration, the Social Networking Service will provide us with access to certain information that you have provided to the Social Networking Service, and we will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

You may also have the option of posting your activities to Social Networking Services when you access content through the Sites (for example, you may post to Instagram that you performed an activity on the Sites or attended one of our competitions); you acknowledge that, if you choose to use this feature, your friends, followers and subscribers on any Social Networking Services you have enabled will be able to view such activity. Because we use social media plugins, if you visit our Sites while logged in to a social networking account, personally identifiable information about your browsing activities on this Sites may be transferred to the third party who operates that account. See the third party’s terms of service and privacy policy for more information on what information may be transferred and what you can do to avoid or limit the transfer of information.

Your Privacy Choices

We provide all consumers with the following choices to manage their information with us. The section titled State-Specific Privacy Rights Information applies additionally to consumers who reside in U.S. states where consumer data privacy laws are currently effective.

You may change your preferences regarding the collection or use of your Personal Information in the following ways:

  • Whenever you are asked to fill in a form on any Website or our other Services, consider what information to include and exclude.
  • Please be aware that even after you delete or update information within our Services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.

We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable.

Please also note that if you do opt-out of receiving marketing-related emails from us, we may still send you messages for administrative or other purposes directly relating to your use of the Services, and you cannot opt-out from receiving those messages.

When you sign up for an account with us, we collect Personal Information such as your name, email address, and mailing address. You can review, change, and delete this Personal Information by logging into your account on the Website. Please note that we require some of your Personal Information to provide account-related services to you and may not be able to provide those services if you delete it. If you would like to correct or update your contact information, you may also contact us as set forth in the Contact Us section, and we will make good faith efforts to make the requested changes in our then-active databases as soon as reasonably practicable, although we may retain prior information as business records. Please note that if you request deletion but later sign up for information or Services, your most recent request will control our information relationship with you.

Certain categories of Personal Information may be considered “Sensitive Personal Information” under the CCPA, such as driver’s license, passport, or other government issued identification card, race or ethnic origin, citizenship and immigration status, and information concerning an individual’s health. We do not use or disclose (and have not used or disclosed in the past twelve (12) months) Sensitive Personal Information for any purposes other than the purposes permitted under the CCPA.

We have collected (and in the preceding twelve (12) months, we may have disclosed) the categories of personal information above to the following categories of recipients for the purposes described in the Why We Collect Your Personal Information section of our Privacy Policy:

  • our affiliates;
  • certain business partners, or event co-sponsors;
  • our service providers performing services for us or on our behalf;
  • other third-party service providers; and
  • our analytics, advertising, and social media partners (if you grant us permission and direct us to do so)

Data Retention

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collect it, as required to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or as necessary to resolve disputes. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider applicable legal requirements, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. We regularly review the Personal Information we hold and maintain retention schedules in order to delete or de-identify Personal Information in accordance with these criteria, our contractual commitments, and applicable law.

Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell Personal Information in the traditional sense (i.e., for monetary compensation). However, like many businesses, we may use third-party advertising, analytics and social media services that involve the collection, use and disclosure to third parties (i.e., our analytics, advertising and social media partners) of certain Personal Information (such as online identifiers, IP address, browsing activity, and interactions with our Website) for the purposes of analytics and to serve you tailored advertising content, including advertising content on third-party sites. Some of these activities may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information as those terms are broadly defined under California law.

Where required under applicable law, our practice is to obtain your permission before using Cookies and Tracking Technologies on our Websites in a manner that may constitute a “sale” or “share” of Personal Information or use of Personal Information for cross-site “targeted advertising” purposes under these laws. You may grant or deny this permission by accepting or rejecting tracking technologies through our cookie preference tool. If you grant us permission, you may revoke your permission for our continued use of such tracking technologies by clicking Your Privacy Choices.

We do not have actual knowledge that we “sell” or “share” (each as they are defined under applicable law) Personal Information of individuals under sixteen (16) years of age.

State-Specific Privacy Rights

If you have sought or acquired, by purchase or lease, any goods or services for personal, family, or household purposes from our Websites, you may ask us to disclose whether we have sold (for monetary consideration) certain information about you (including your first and last name, physical address, email address, telephone number, an identifier that allows you to be contacted either physically or online, or other contact information that allows us to identify you personally).

As a Nevada resident, you may also request to opt out of us sharing such information about you. To make this request, please submit a request by contacting us as set forth in the Contact Us section below. You must include your full name, email address, and attest that you are a Nevada resident by providing a Nevada postal address in your request.

How to Exercise Your State-Specific Rights

You or your authorized agent may exercise your Rights to Know, Data Portability, Request Deletion, Correct Inaccurate Information, or Appeal by emailing us at legal@ensembleschools.com.

Where available, you may also submit a request to opt-out of the online and offline “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information, also referred to as a request to opt-out of targeted advertising, by clicking Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. Where available, this will direct you to our Privacy Request Center where you may submit certain privacy rights requests depending on the rights provided to you under relevant state law, including the right to opt-out. Where available, in the Privacy Request Center, you may also manually update your state of residence for purposes of submitting requests. Where available, you can manage preferences related to online tracking and sharing through the Cookie and preference settings provided on our Websites.

To protect you and your Personal Information and depending on the type of request you make, we may need to ask you for additional information to verify your identity before processing a request, where applicable. For example, if you submit certain requests through our Websites, you may be asked to enter your email address. After you submit your request, you may receive an email at the address you provided to authenticate your identity and request. You may have the right to submit a request to exercise your rights through an authorized agent, in which case your agent will be required to present signed written permission to act on your behalf. You may also be required to independently verify your identity with us and confirm that you have provided authorization to the agent. We will respond to your request within forty-five (45) days of receipt, and where reasonably necessary we may extend that period by an additional forty-five (45) days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it within the initial response period. You are not required to create an account with us in order to submit a request, and we do not charge a fee to process or respond to a request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded, in which case we will explain that decision and provide a cost estimate before completing the request. We may decline to provide access or portability information more than twice in a twelve (12) month period. You may also submit a request on behalf of your minor child.

If we deny your request or cannot fulfill it, you may appeal our decision by contacting us via legal@ensembleschools.com to ask us to review your request again. Your email should include “Appeal” in the subject line. We will inform you in writing of the outcome of your appeal, and our reasons for it, within sixty (60) days of receipt. If we deny your appeal, we will provide you with a method to contact your state Attorney General to submit a complaint.

Direct Marketing Disclosures

If you are a California resident, in addition to the rights above, you have the right to request that we disclose information about any third parties to which we have disclosed personal information in the preceding calendar year. Specifically, you have the right to request:

  • a list of the categories of certain personal information we disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year; and
  • the names and addresses of all the third parties that received certain personal information from us in the preceding calendar year.

You may send us a request by email at legal@ensembleschools.com. Please include “California Privacy Rights Request” in the subject line of your email, and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we may respond in standardized format that is not specific to you. We will respond to your request within thirty (30) days.

Children’s Privacy

Protecting children’s privacy is important to us. Our events, lessons, recitals, and other activities may involve minors, including children under the age of thirteen (13), and we may collect Personal Information about them when a parent or legal guardian, dance studio owner, or other adult provides it to us for a particular purpose (for example, when registering a child as a dancer for an event or purchasing related products). Our Websites and online Services are intended for parents and legal guardians, adult studio owners, and other adults; we do not knowingly permit children under thirteen (13) to create accounts or submit Personal Information directly through the Websites. We use Personal Information about children only as needed to organize and run our events and related Services, to communicate with you about a child’s participation, to maintain safety and security, to comply with law, and for other internal business purposes, and we do not use Personal Information from children under thirteen (13) to serve them targeted advertising. We may share Personal Information about children with our service providers as described in the How We Disclose Your Personal Information section, but we do not authorize them to use such information for their own independent marketing purposes.

By providing us with Personal Information about a child, you represent and warrant that you are the child’s parent or legal guardian, or that you otherwise have legal authority to do so, and we may rely on that representation. Where required by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) or other applicable law, we will obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing Personal Information from a child under thirteen (13). Typically, this consent is obtained when a parent or legal guardian completes the registration process for the child and agrees to this Privacy Policy and any applicable terms.

Parents and legal guardians may review the Personal Information we have collected from their child under thirteen (13), request that we delete it, and refuse to permit further collection or use of their child’s Personal Information, by contacting us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below. If you believe we have collected Personal Information from a child under thirteen (13) (or, in some jurisdictions, under sixteen (16)) without the appropriate consent, you may contact us at the contact information at the end of this Privacy Policy to request that we delete it. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity and relationship to the child and to delete such information as soon as practicable, and we will not use it except as necessary to protect the child or as required by law. We do not condition a child’s participation in our events or any activity on the child providing more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity.

For your convenience, the Websites and this Privacy Policy may contain links to other websites. The Company is not responsible for the privacy practices including their use of AI, advertising, products, services, or the content of such other websites. None of the links on the Websites should be deemed to imply that the Company endorses or has any affiliation with the third parties referenced in the links.

Data Security and Integrity

We incorporate commercially reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Sites.

Global Privacy Control

For residents of states whose laws require it, our Websites honor the user-enabled opt-out preference signal Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), which has been recognized as a “universal opt-out mechanism” / opt-out preference signal under the Colorado Privacy Act, CCPA, and the privacy laws of other states that require honoring such signals. When you have enabled this opt-out preference signal on browsers that support it, such Websites will respond by opting you out of online Personal Information “sales” and “sharing” by disabling the targeted advertising cookies present on our Sites for that browser and the device you are using. If you wish to opt-out of online and offline Personal Information “sales” and “sharing,” including on any Website that does not recognize GPC, please click Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information or contact us at legal@ensembleschools.com, and we will honor your request.

Please note that GPC is not available on all browsers, only applies to the browsers and Devices on which you enable it, and that you should enable it across browsers and Devices you use. You can allow our Websites to “ignore” your opt-out preference signal choices in our Privacy Request Center.

If GPC or a similar signal is enabled on your browser or device, we will treat it as an opt-out request associated with that browser or device. To the extent you have separately provided us with conflicting privacy preferences, we will endeavor to honor the most restrictive preference associated with your browser or Device.

California Online Privacy Protection Act Disclosure

We do not support “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signals. DNT is a preference you can set to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable it by changing the settings in the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser. This is distinct from GPC and other opt-out preference signals, which we may recognize and honor as described above.

International Data Transfers

Because the Company works with global companies and technologies, we may transfer your Personal Information outside of the country in which it was originally provided. This may include transfers to third parties, such as developers, service providers or affiliated entities who are located outside the United States, where data protection laws may not offer the same level of protection as those in the U.S. When we transfer Personal Information outside of these areas, we take steps to make sure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your Personal Information.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We may elect to change or amend our Privacy Policy; in such event, we will post the policy changes in our Privacy Policy on the Websites. Changes will be effective on the date posted. If you are concerned about how your Personal Information is used, please visit our Websites often for this and other important announcements and updates.
