Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Dance With Cyrus (Cyrus Henry) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect your information across our website, enquiry forms and bookings. We handle personal information in line with the federal Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, and, where we hold any health-related information such as injuries or conditions relevant to safe participation, the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (NSW).
2. Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Personal identifiers such as your name, email address and phone number.
- Booking and enquiry details, including your goals, preferred styles and, for weddings, your date, song and venue.
- Payment details, processed via secure payment providers (we do not retain full card data).
- Health or injury information, only where it is relevant to your safe participation in physical activity, handled in accordance with the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (NSW).
- Website usage data, such as your IP address, browser type and pages visited.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to arrange and personalise your lessons, to communicate with you about bookings, to keep you safe during physical activity, to process payments, to improve our website, and to meet our legal obligations.
4. Cookies & Analytics
We use privacy-friendly, cookieless website analytics to understand how our site is used, for example which pages are visited and where visitors arrive from. This does not identify you personally, and we do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
5. Disclosure & Third Parties
We share your information only with trusted providers who help us operate, for example Google Workspace (email) and Google Calendar (for bookings), and our enquiry-form and payment providers. Some of these may store data on secure servers outside Australia; we only use providers that protect your information to a comparable standard. We also disclose information where required by law. We never sell your information.
6. Consent
By providing your information you consent to its use for the purposes described in this policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. Where sensitive information such as health information is involved, we will seek your explicit consent.
7. Your Choices
You may request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you. You can opt out of any marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link.
8. Data Retention
We keep your personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law, and then securely delete or de-identify it.
9. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children's Privacy
Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a minor without the consent of a parent or guardian. Where lessons are arranged for someone under 18, a parent or guardian arranges and consents to the booking.
11. Complaints
If you have a concern about how we handle your information, please contact us and we will investigate. If you remain unsatisfied, you may escalate the matter to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), or, for health information, the NSW Information and Privacy Commission (IPC).
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted here with a revised date.
