This Privacy Notice applies to information that Dexterity, and any subsidiaries and affiliate entities worldwide (individually and collectively referred to herein as “Dexterity”, “we,” “us” or “our”) collects about you on or via https://www.dexteritydance.com (or any subdomain), or one of our other websites, applications or other services from which you are accessing this Privacy Notice (each referred to herein as a “Site,” and collectively, the “Sites”). This Privacy Notice describes how we collect such information, how we use it and to whom and under what circumstances we may disclose it.

Introduction and Aim

Dexterity knows that you take your privacy seriously. We do, too. We will not misuse, sell, or exploit any information provided to us and we do all we possibly can including physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to ensure your data stays safe. The majority of the information you give us is for the express purpose of keeping all customers safe inside our studios or sending you information about your Dexterity membership.

Reasons/Purposes For Processing Information

GDPR legislation states six lawful bases for processing personal information. These are the only justifications for doing so. They are:

  1. necessary to enter into or to perform a contract,
  2. necessary for compliance with a legal obligation,
  3. necessary to protect ‘vital interests’
  4. necessary for the public interest,
  5. necessary for a legitimate interest,
  6. with the consent of the data subject.

In line with this, Dexterity will store or process data for a number of reasons including:

  • Financial obligations for customers, staff and suppliers (points 1 and 2)
  • Photos, names, dates of birth to allow the business to run smoothly and to help ensure child safety so that the correct children leave with the correct adults (points 4 and 5)
  • Contractual obligations including staff, customer and supplier contracts to ensure we are legally compliant (point 1 above)
  • To inform customers, with their consent, of events that are taking place at Dexterity (point 6 above)
  • The following legitimate purposes: accounting, billing and audit, and administrative and legal purposes, statistical and marketing analysis, and to help us in any future dealings with you, for example by identifying your requirements and preferences (point 5 and point 2 above)

Specifically, the information collected when you become a member of Dexterity is as follows:

• Child’s Name

• Age and D.O.B (for children only)

• School Yr, School Name and Headteacher name

• First contact and second contact name and mobile number

Other than the email address, this information is for the security of all staff customers within the studios so that if required they can be identified as well as enabling the business to run efficiently. The email address will only be used to communicate information about training, lessons and events.

COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Like many companies, we (and our service providers) use cookies and other similar technologies to collect, store and track information about your Site usage. This information helps us to provide, operate, improve and our Sites.

What are Cookies

Cookies are small files of letters and numbers. These files are stored on the hard drive of the device you are using, be it a PC, mobile phone, or tablet. These letters and numbers are used to allow a website to remember certain bits of information, so that the user experience can be improved next time you visit.

How we use Cookies

When you visit our website it is likely we will create cookies which are stored on your device. For the duration of your ‘session’ on our website these cookies help us to deliver the correct information and ensure you only have to enter required information once, thereby improving your browsing experience.

We also use web analytics to understand how many people have visited our website, what they have looked at and how they found us etc. This gives us a better understanding of how our website is working. All data accrued cannot be used to identify personal information and merely gives us a general idea of how our website performs.

This overview of the type of cookies we use is based on categories outlined by the International Chamber of Commerce, in the ICC UK Cookie Guide. Some cookies may appear in multiple categories.

Category 1: strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. By disabling these cookies, some aspects of a website will either not work, or not work properly, such as secure logins, location services, and e-commerce functionality.

Category 2: performance cookies

These cookies gather information to help improve the day to day performance of a website. By analysing data collected we can enhance popular pages, fix bugs and error messages etc. All data is based on totals and averages and is strictly anonymous. For example we use Google Analytics, which creates several first-party cookies. The data that Google collects is kept strictly private and confidential and won’t be shared with anyone else. We don’t feel that Google Analytics is a breach of privacy as we are merely aggregating the data survey. The information that is collected is used to understand website trends and performance.

Category 3: functionality cookies

These are cookies which provide a ‘memory’ for the website, this enables the website to remember any personal choices you make (for example, your username, language or geographic location).

These cookies are also used to remember changes you may make to text sizes, fonts and other customisable elements of the website. The information these cookies collect may be made anonymous and can’t track activity on other websites.

Category 4: targeting cookies or advertising cookies

We nurture the use of social media websites and believe sharing is a key part of how people access new information. Social media networks are a popular way of doing this. To enable people to share information via popular social media, our website may have functionality allowing this type of activity.

The owners of social media websites may place cookies on users’ devices and they will have their own cookie policies. We have no control over these companies’ cookies policies.

How to turn off cookies

Data Storage

All our digital information is secured by 3rd party companies as follows:

  • Microsoft 365 – for all office files
