Privacy Policy

Dance Floor Studio (“we”, “us”) decides how your personal data is used and is responsible for it under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“the Act”).

Anything about your personal data — a question, a correction, a request to erase it, or a complaint — goes to the studio’s grievance contact. You can reach them on +91 9860555805 or by email at Dancefloorpune@gmail.com.

This policy sits alongside our Terms & Conditions and our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

You send an enquiry

Your name, phone number and its country, email, what you are asking about, and your message.

You book a workshop

The lead contact’s name, phone, email and city; each participant’s name and ticket type; answers to the workshop’s questions, such as dance level; and the consents you give — the waiver, photographs and videos, and WhatsApp messages.

A child is booked

The child’s name and ticket type, and the parent or guardian’s name and phone number.

The workshop asks for a photo

A photograph of each participant.

The workshop asks for ID proof

The type of ID, its last four digits, and images of it. We ask for masked Aadhaar only, and never store a full Aadhaar number.

You pay

The amount, date, method and payment reference. Card, UPI and bank details are handled by Razorpay and never reach us.

You attend

When each participant was checked in at the entry desk.

You join a regular class

The student’s name, the guardian’s name, phone number, class, fees paid and attendance, recorded at the studio.

We message you

Whether each WhatsApp message we send was delivered and read.

• To take, confirm and manage bookings, and to issue tickets and receipts.
• To verify who is attending at the entry desk, using the photograph and ID proof.
• To send you WhatsApp messages about your booking — payment requests, tickets, reminders and changes.
• To keep class, fee and attendance records for students.
• To reply to your enquiries.
• To keep accounts and meet our legal and tax obligations.
• To keep participants safe and deal with any incident.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.

We use your personal data with the consent you give when you book or enquire, and otherwise only where the Act permits — for example, to meet a legal obligation.

For a child under 18, a parent or guardian gives consent on the child’s behalf.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. This does not affect what was done before, and some bookings cannot continue without the data — such as an ID proof a workshop requires.

• Razorpay — to process payments.
• MSG91 and WhatsApp (Meta) — to deliver WhatsApp messages about your booking.
• Amazon Web Services — this website and its data are hosted on servers in Mumbai.
• Authorities — only where the law requires it.

Each receives only what it needs for that purpose.

Participant photographs and ID proofs are kept in private storage that cannot be reached from the public website.

Only staff with the right permission can see a photograph, only the entry desk can see an ID proof, and every view is recorded.

Staff access is limited by role, and connections to this website are encrypted.

ID proof images

Deleted automatically within 7 days after the workshop ends.

Participant photographs

Kept while they are needed for badges and entry at the workshop, and removed on request.

Bookings, payments, receipts and student records

Kept for 8 years, which is what accounting and tax records require.

Enquiries

Kept for 24 months.

To have a participant photograph removed, ask the studio’s grievance contact — see your rights.

Under the Act, you can ask us to:

• tell you what personal data we hold about you and how it is used;
• correct or update it;
• erase it, once we no longer need it for its purpose or for a legal obligation;
• let a person you nominate exercise these rights if you die or become unable to;
• resolve a grievance about how we have handled your data.

Ask the studio’s grievance contact on +91 9860555805 or by email at Dancefloorpune@gmail.com. We will respond promptly, and within any time the law requires.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Data Protection Board established under the Act.
