How The Dance Method collects, uses, and protects your information — and the choices you have.
Last updated: June 16, 2026
The Dance Method ("we," "us," "our") is a dance studio in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This policy explains what personal information we collect through our website, registration, and marketing, how we use it, and your choices. We handle personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy law.
We use cookies and similar technologies for two purposes: analytics (understanding how visitors use our site, via Google Analytics) and advertising (measuring and improving our ad campaigns, via advertising pixels). These tags are managed through Google Tag Manager.
We apply consent settings so these technologies respect your preferences. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, and manage ad personalization through each platform's ad settings (see links below). Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
We advertise our programs on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram (Meta) and Google. To measure whether our ads lead to registrations, we may share a limited set of information — such as your email or phone number in hashed (irreversibly scrambled) form, along with an ad click identifier — with these platforms. Hashing means the platform cannot read your actual email or phone number; it is used only to match an ad click to an action and report results in aggregate.
We do not sell your personal information.
We share personal information only with service providers who help us operate, and only as needed to provide our services:
These providers are permitted to use your information only to perform services for us. We may also disclose information if required by law.
Our programs are for dancers of many ages, including children. Registration and our forms are intended to be completed by a parent or guardian (or another adult registrant), who provides the dancer's information. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children online. If you believe a child has provided us information without a parent's involvement, please contact us and we will remove it.
We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide our services and maintain our relationship with your family, and afterward only as long as required for legitimate business or legal purposes. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete or de-identify it.
To make any of these requests, contact us using the details below.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and limit access to those who need it.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
