| At Dance Party 4 Kids, we value your privacy to
an extreme degree. We recognize that, being involved with children,
you are right to be squeamish about
revealing personal information to anyone... and we wholeheartedly
agree with that sentiment.
When you visit this website, we have absolutely no desire
whatsoever to know who you are, where you live or anything else
about you. Your
identity and your activities are your business and none of ours.
Absolutely no information about you is gathered by
this website. Some websites claim that they compile "no identifiable
information" on you. We're not sure what they mean by
"identifiable," but presumably this means that they
do gather
some information about you, but they deem that information to be
none-identifiable by their standards. We say, bunk! We gather
absolutely no information on you of any sort at any time,
"identifiable" or otherwise. Period.
When you browse our
website, you are doing so completely anonymously. We do not collect
any personal information on you... not even your email address or
the type of computer and operating system you are using. Nothing.
We do not use cookies on your computer. No content of any sort
will be deposited on your computer when you use and browse this
website. When you leave this website, we will have left no trace on your
personal computer that you were ever here.
If you correspond with us in consideration of
using our services, we will then, of course, learn some preliminary
information about you so that we can communicate with you. If you
fill out our website form or send us an email message, we will
obviously then have that contact info for you. (But until then, we
have zilch.) In the event that you correspond with us, we
will ascertain only the necessary information to continue that
dialogue.
If you subsequently employ our services, then we
will need to, at some point, know further contact information to
fulfill our obligations with you. By that time, we both will have,
presumably, established a rapport and a level of trust with each
other.
There are two types of clients: those who contract
for public events and those who contact for private events. A public
event is any event where the public is invited to attend and there
is no restriction on who may be present or who may obtain
promotional information regarding the event. Examples of public
events are huge dances in public places open to everyone,
fund-raising benefits attempting to draw a large crowd and any event
that is widely advertised. A private event is an event where not
everyone is invited to attend and there is some restriction on who
is welcome and who may obtain information regarding the event.
Examples of private events are school dances, birthday parties,
group picnics, block parties and any event not intentionally
attempting to draw a crowd of strangers or advertise to the general
public.
If you contract for a public event, where
information on the event is freely available to the public, we may
list you on our Events page and otherwise promote or publicize your
event, either prior to or subsequent to the event.
If you contract for a private event, where
information on the event is not generally available to the public,
then we will not publicize you or your event in any way. We make this guarantee to you: At no time will we reveal
any of your information to anyone for any reason, unless you
specifically request us to do so.
You will notice that
nowhere on this website do we reference our past clients of private
events. Nor do we post any
identifiable information on those clients. If you do not wish for us
to reveal you as a private client, we never will.
If, as a private client, you are
okay with us using you as a reference for promotional or testimonial
purposes, then here is what we promise you: We may sometime
reference you to a prospective client, but it will always be in a direct
one-on-one conversation... and only after we feel confident about the
reputability of that individual or organization. But -- and this is
critical to understand -- even if you agree to let us use you as a
reference, we will still never, under any circumstance, post your
information indiscriminately for all to see on the Internet. We will
use your reference only in the most discretionary manner. And this
bears repeating: If you do not want us to use you as a reference,
then we will never do so, even through personal correspondence away from
the Internet.
This stipulation of non-disclosure applies only to clients who
contract for private events. The same restriction does not apply to
clients who contract for public events, where information about the
event is widely available to anyone and everyone. In actual
practice, this lack of restriction regarding a public client is
fine, since such a client is usually seeking a high attendance
figure and does not actually want us to be quiet about the event.
In addition to our privacy policy as stated
herein, we
urge you, as an individual, to take every precaution to protect your
personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords
from time to time, use a combination of letters and numbers in your
passwords, and make sure you use a secure browser.
Bottom line: We want you (and your children) to be safe on the
Internet. If you are like us, you detest the idea of giving your
personal information to anyone at the other end of your computer
connection, either willingly or unwillingly. We are private people
with children, too. We guarantee that your personal information is secure on
this website. Unless you instigate a relationship with us, we neither gather any of it, nor want any of it. Rest
assured that when you are on this website, you are truly anonymous.
And that's the way we want it. |
