Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

1. Information We Collect

Like a well-choreographed routine, we only collect what’s necessary:

• Personal Details: Name, email, shipping/billing address when you make a purchase
• Payment Information: Processed securely through our payment gateways (we never store full card details)
• Dance Preferences: Product selections that help us recommend suitable dancewear
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and device information for website optimization

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data with the same precision as a dancer uses their pointe shoes:

• Process orders and deliver dancewear worldwide (excluding certain Asian countries and remote areas)
• Provide personalized recommendations for ballet flats, character shoes, or activewear
• Improve our website experience for dancers of all styles
• Send order updates (with the care we’d give to shipping delicate pointe shoes)
• Prevent fraud and enhance security

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We partner with trusted vendors as carefully as we select our dance shoe manufacturers:

• Shipping Carriers: Only what’s needed to deliver your dancewear
• Payment Processors: PayPal and credit card processors with industry-standard security
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, with the same transparency we apply to our product descriptions

We never sell your data to third parties.

4. Data Storage & Security

We protect your information with the same dedication as a dancer protects their feet:

• SSL encryption throughout our website (look for the padlock icon)
• Secure servers with limited access
• Regular security audits
• Data retention only as long as necessary

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access or update your personal information
• Request deletion of your data (subject to legal requirements)
• Opt-out of marketing communications
• Restrict certain data processing

To exercise these rights, please contact our customer service team at [email protected].

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies – small data files that help us:

• Remember your cart items (like remembering your shoe size between visits)
• Understand how dancers navigate our site to improve your experience
• Provide relevant product suggestions for ballet, ballroom, or contemporary dance

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

7. International Data Transfers

As we serve dancers globally (excluding certain regions), your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where our servers are located. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our shop evolves. Significant changes will be communicated to you, just as we’d notify you of important updates to your favorite dance shoe styles.
