This Privacy Policy explains how Boots 'N' Boogie™ collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our website, book classes or events, buy merchandise, or contact us. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in line with the UK GDPR and EU GDPR where applicable.
Boots 'N' Boogie™ is a dance group offering line dancing classes, events and branded merchandise. If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at:
If you allow Google Analytics, Google receives things like your IP address, browser, device, and the pages you view. We do not turn that on until you allow it, and we do not use advertising cookies. If you choose essential cookies only, we do not send that.
We use your personal data to process bookings, manage orders, communicate with you, and improve our services. We only process data where we have a legal basis (Contract, Consent, Legal Obligation, or Legitimate Interests).
If you use Community Chat we store your name, your messages, who you have added as a friend, and your choice of who may message you or add you to a group. The default is friends only. HQ and your registered Boogie Boss can still contact you. If you choose everyone, you are warned that strangers can contact you, including scams, and that Boots 'N' Boogie™ does not check those messages and accepts no liability for them. A friend sees that you are connected. HQ can read a private chat and cannot send in it unless they are one of the two people. We keep a friend link until you remove it, and chat messages while your account is open. The basis is the membership contract, and legitimate interests in running a safe members' chat. You can change the setting or remove a friend in the chat app.
We do not sell your data. We share it only with trusted third-party providers (website hosting, booking tools, payments, email) who must protect it in line with data protection laws.
We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including service provision, legal compliance, tax, and accounting requirements.
You have rights regarding access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. To exercise them, please contact us. You can also lodge a complaint with the ICO if you are unhappy with our handling of your data.
Our services are not directed at children under 16. If you believe a child has provided data to us, please contact us so we can delete it appropriately.
We take technical and organisational measures to protect your data. While we work to keep your data safe, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.
Our website may contain links to other services. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Review their policies before providing personal data.
You can opt out of marketing messages at any time from the unsubscribe link on an email, in your dancer studio, or by emailing us. Service-related messages (like booking confirmations and magic-link sign-in) are not marketing and will still be sent as needed.
We may update this policy. Significant changes may be notified by email or on our website. Check this page for the current version.
