We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.

To protect your Personal Information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard SSL/TLS end-to-end encryption of data in transit to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. If you provide us with your financial or any other Personal Information, the information is encrypted using industry standard protections in our database. We will retain your Personal Information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained and consistent with applicable law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:
Although we have implemented commercially reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your Account via unauthorized password activity.
Account Information. You can review and edit certain account information or posted information you have chosen to add to or through your Account by logging in to your account settings.
Location Information. You can prevent your device from sharing location information through your device’s system settings.

You may also control some elements of sharing your location with Dancebook in your Dancebook Account settings.
Accessing Your Information. You can access your Personal Information by logging into your Account and viewing things like your Account, settings, and preferences, booking or posting history. In addition, you may have some information included in things we have sent to you, such as posting or event confirmations.
Deleting Your Account. If you would like to delete your Account, please visit your Account settings on the Site. In some cases, we will be unable to delete your Account, such as if there is an issue with your account related to trust, safety, or fraud. When we delete your Account, we may retain certain information for legitimate business purposes or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations. For example, we may retain your information to resolve open insurance claims, or we may be obligated to retain your information as part of an open legal claim. When we retain such data, we do so in ways designed to prevent its use for other purposes.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER
Dancebook is a United States company. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, Dancebook transfers and stores personal information to the United States for processing. The U.S. may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your information to the U.S., we will protect it as described in this Privacy Policy. By visiting the Site, the App, using our Services or providing Dancebook with any information, you fully understand and unambiguously consent to this transfer.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Site or App; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features in an effort to prevent loss, theft and unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
The following sections detail additional information relevant for specific state laws and regulations regarding data privacy, including rights that may be available to some residents of these states. The information below applies if you are a resident of the specific state, and the relevant rights will be available from the date that the state laws and regulations become effective.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENT PRIVACY RIGHTS
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides consumers who are residents of the State of California with specific rights related to their Personal Information (which includes Personally Identifiable Information), subject to certain exceptions. It also requires us to disclose the information we collect, the purposes for which we collect it, and what we share and disclose.
You have the right to know what Personal Information we collect and why. The information we collect and the purposes for which we use it are described in this Privacy Policy.
You have the right to know what Personal Information we disclose or share with third parties. The Personal Information we share is described in this Privacy Policy.
You have the right to ask us what Personal Information we have collected from you over the past 12 months. You may make such requests up to twice a year.
You have the right to ask us to delete your Personal Information. In certain circumstances the law may not require or permit us to delete certain Personal Information, but if we cannot honor a deletion request, we will tell you.
You have the right to tell us not to disclose or transfer your Personal Information to a third party in exchange for something of value. The CCPA refers to this as your right to say “Do Not Sell” my Personal Information. If you opt out of disclosure or transfer of your Personal Information, you may later opt-in again to having your Personal Information move more freely.
You may ask us for the Personal Information we have about you, or ask us to delete your Personal Information, by emailing us at info@dancebookco.com When you make a request online, we will verify your identity by sending you an email and asking you to respond.
If you ask what Personal Information, we have received from you, and we cannot verify your identity, or if providing the information you have requested creates a security risk, we will give you a general description of the type of Personal Information we have about you.
If you ask us to delete your Personal Information, and we can’t verify your identity and confirm that you made the request, we will not be able to honor it. Generally, though, if we can confirm your identity and your request, we will delete, de-identify, or aggregate your Personal Information so it can no longer be associated with you. There are some reasons that the law may require or permit us to keep your Personal Information, however.
If you are an authorized agent, you must make your request by emailing us at info@dancebookco.com and put the words “CCPA Requests, Authorized Agents” in the subject field. You also need to attach to your email proof that you are registered with the Attorney General, as required by law, and proof you have written authority to act for the consumer. You shall also provide the email address of the consumer you are representing so we can verify their identity or provide documentation that you have power of attorney for the consumer pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000-4465. We will not be able to honor requests without sufficient documentation that you are authorized to represent the consumer.
If you would like to request Personal Information about your household, you may make your request by emailing us at info@dancebookco.com and putting the words “CCPA Household Request” in the subject field of the email. We will need to verify the users of the household, and in some cases, if a request raises security concerns for any household member, we may not be able to honor the request.
We do not offer any financial incentives for consumers to take any action or make any choices in using our services.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights described in this Privacy Policy. Specifically, we will not deny you goods or services or charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits, or by imposing penalties.
Residents of the State of California may request a list of all third parties to which we have disclosed certain information during the preceding year for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and a user of the Services where this policy is posted, you may request removal of content or information you have publicly posted. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete removal from the Internet of the content or information you posted, and there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal.
For all requests under the “Shine the Light” or “Eraser” Law, you must put the words “Your California Privacy Rights Shine the Light/Eraser Law” in the subject field of an email to info@dancebookco.com .
