5.1. Service Providers. We share Personal Data with service providers that perform tasks on our behalf and help us provide our Website and programs, as described in Section 3.2.

We use your number only to send the messages you agreed to receive, such as class and appointment reminders, follow-ups after you contact us, and program announcements.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. We share your number only with the service providers that deliver our messages, such as our SMS carrier, and only for that purpose.

8. Retention of Personal Data.

We retain Personal Data as long as needed to (i) fulfill the purposes described in Section 4 and (ii) comply with applicable law.

We will review requests promptly in accordance with applicable law.

10. Data Security.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect Personal Data, both in transmission and once received. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

DaniMation teaches students of many ages, but our Website forms, bookings and text-message opt-ins are intended to be completed by adults. For students under 18, a parent or legal guardian should provide contact information and consent on the student’s behalf. If you believe a child under 13 has given us Personal Data without a parent’s consent, contact us and we will delete it.

We do not currently respond to browser “do not track” signals or similar mechanisms.
