Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Dance Alive ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information about you when you use our streaming services at membership.dancealive.com (the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

If you have questions or want to exercise any of the rights described below, contact us at legal@dancealive.com.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

  • Account information: name, email address, and authentication details obtained via Mindbody single sign-on
  • Profile information: any optional fields you complete in your account settings
  • Subscription and billing information: plan selection, billing cycle, and payment method (payment details are handled by Stripe and are not stored on our servers)
  • Communications: messages you send us, including support requests and feedback

Information collected automatically

  • Usage data: pages visited, videos viewed, watch time, search queries, watchlist additions, navigation paths, and in-product interactions (such as which content tabs you open and which recommendations you click) — collected via our own first-party analytics. We exclude our own team's activity from these measurements.
  • Device and technical data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, language, time zone
  • Authentication and session data: session cookies set by Supabase (our auth provider) to keep you logged in

Information from third parties

  • Mindbody: when you sign in via Mindbody, we receive your name, email, membership status, and membership identifier
  • Stripe: we receive transaction confirmations, the last four digits of your payment card, and the card brand for display purposes; we do not receive full card numbers
  • Information from our previous streaming platforms: if you are a member migrating from our prior streaming platforms (Vimeo OTT / VHX), we may import your watch history and watchlist from those platforms so we can personalize your content recommendations from your first day on the Services.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Services
  • Authenticate you and manage your account
  • Process subscriptions and payments
  • Personalize content recommendations and remember your preferences (such as watchlist and viewing history)
  • Personalize the content recommendations shown to you based on your viewing activity on the Services and, for members who joined from our previous streaming platforms, watch and watchlist activity imported from those platforms
  • Measure and analyze how the Services are used, using our own first-party analytics, to understand engagement and improve our content and features (our own team's activity is excluded from these metrics)
  • Send transactional emails (account confirmations, billing receipts, password resets, content updates) and respond to support requests
  • Monitor usage patterns to detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraudulent activity
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use your personal information — and do not provide it to any third party — to train third-party or general-purpose artificial-intelligence models. We may use de-identified and aggregated activity data, from which you cannot reasonably be re-identified, to build and improve recommendation and product features within the Services.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Services use a small number of first-party cookies and similar technologies — those required to run the Services plus our own first-party usage analytics. We use NO third-party analytics services, advertising trackers, analytics pixels, marketing tools, or cross-site trackers.

Essential cookies we use

  • Supabase authentication cookies (sb-…-auth-token and related) — keep you logged in across page loads. Without these, you cannot use authenticated features.
  • Stripe payment cookies (__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid) — set by Stripe during checkout for fraud prevention. Without these, payment cannot be processed.
  • Vimeo player cookies — set by the Vimeo embedded player when you watch a video, used for playback continuity and quality selection.
  • Session and preference cookies set by our application to remember UI preferences (dark mode, dismissed notices).

First-party analytics cookies

  • analytics_session_id — groups your activity into a browsing session for our own first-party usage analytics. It holds a random session identifier (not your name or email) and expires after about 30 minutes.
  • analytics_anonymous_id — a random identifier used only for signed-out visitors, to tell one anonymous browser apart from another in our first-party analytics; it lasts up to 12 months. When you are signed in, your activity is associated with your account session instead, and this cookie is not used to identify you.

Both are first-party cookies set by our own application with the HttpOnly flag, and are never shared with any third-party advertiser or analytics vendor. We use no third-party analytics or advertising cookies.

Cookies we do NOT use

  • Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics service
  • Marketing or advertising pixels (Facebook, TikTok, Google Ads, etc.)
  • Cross-site tracking or behavioral targeting
  • Social-media tracking widgets

Referral attribution (browser storage)

If you arrive through a referral or affiliate link (a web address containing a ?ref= code), we store that referral code in your browser so we can credit the person or creator who referred you if you later subscribe. This uses your browser's own storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) — it is not a cookie and is never sent to any advertiser or third party.

  • What we store: the referral code from the link and the date and time it was captured. No name, email, or other personal identifier is stored alongside it.
  • Why: to attribute your sign-up to the referrer so any referral reward can be credited correctly.
  • How long: up to 30 days from your most recent referral link, after which it is automatically discarded. Following a newer referral link replaces the stored code and restarts the 30-day window.
  • Who we share it with: no one. The code stays in your browser and is only sent to us, over the secure connection, at the moment you complete a sign-up.
  • How to clear it: clearing your browser's site data for this site removes it immediately, and it expires on its own within 30 days. Using private/incognito browsing prevents it from persisting beyond that session.

We display no cookie consent banner. The only cookies we set are first-party — those required to run the Services plus the first-party usage-analytics cookies described above — and we use no third-party advertising, marketing, or cross-site tracking cookies. If we ever introduce a non-essential third-party cookie, we will deploy a consent mechanism and update this Policy before doing so. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies, but doing so may break authentication and payment.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Because we do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising, "Do Not Track" signals and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals do not change our practices. If you have set either, we honor them by default — there is nothing for us to opt you out of.

5. How We Share Information

We share information only with the parties listed below and only as needed to provide the Services. We do not sell or rent your information.

Service providers (sub-processors)

  • Mindbody — authentication and membership verification (United States)
  • Supabase — database, authentication, and storage (United States)
  • Stripe — payment processing and fraud prevention (United States)
  • Vimeo — video hosting and delivery (United States)
  • Inngest — background job processing for our integrations (United States)
  • Resend — transactional email delivery (United States)
  • Fly.io — application hosting (United States)

We will update this list when we add or change material sub-processors. The version and effective date at the top of this Policy reflect such changes.

Legal disclosures

We may disclose information to comply with applicable laws, court orders, subpoenas, or other legal process, and to protect the rights, property, or safety of Dance Alive, our users, or others. We may also disclose information in connection with a corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, in which case the acquiring party will be bound to this Policy or a substantially similar one.

6. Data Retention

CategoryRetention
Account profileWhile your account is active; deleted within 30 days of account closure
Viewing history and watchlistWhile your account is active
Billing records and invoicesSeven (7) years from the transaction date (IRS recordkeeping)
Server logs and security eventsNinety (90) days, then deleted or anonymized
Communications (support tickets, emails)Three (3) years from last interaction
Behavioral analytics eventsRetained while we operate the Services, for product and business analytics; unlinked from your account when your account is deleted, and the IP address is masked when the event is recorded. De-identified, aggregated metrics from which you cannot be re-identified may be retained longer.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information: TLS encryption in transit, encrypted database storage, restricted administrative access, automated security monitoring, and regular dependency scanning. However, no system is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a breach affecting your information, we will notify you and regulators as required by law.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

  • Access: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction: request that we correct inaccurate information
  • Deletion: request that we delete your personal information (subject to legal retention obligations)
  • Portability: request a machine-readable export of your data
  • Restriction: ask us to limit certain processing activities
  • Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Withdrawal of consent: withdraw consent where we rely on it as our legal basis

To exercise any of these rights, email legal@dancealive.com from the address associated with your account. We will respond within thirty (30) days, except where extensions are permitted by law. You may also close your account directly in your account settings, which deletes most personal information within 30 days (billing records are retained for tax compliance as noted above).

Automated recommendations

We use automated systems to personalize the content recommendations shown to you, based on your activity on the Services (and, for migrating members, imported watch/watchlist activity). These recommendations are suggestions to help you discover content; they do not produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you. You can influence them through your activity, and you may contact us at legal@dancealive.com with questions or objections. We do not offer a separate opt-out toggle for recommendations at this time.

9. California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, "CCPA"), provides you with the following rights:

  • Right to know what personal information we collect, the sources, purposes, and recipients
  • Right to delete personal information we have collected from you
  • Right to correct inaccurate personal information
  • Right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information — we do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
  • Right to limit use of sensitive personal information — we do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary to provide the Services
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights

We have not sold or shared personal information in the preceding twelve (12) months and do not plan to. To exercise CCPA rights, email legal@dancealive.com or close your account in your account settings. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf; we will verify the agent's authority before responding.

10. European Union and United Kingdom Residents (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (and equivalent UK regulations) apply.

Controller

Dance Alive Studios LLC, Los Angeles, CA, is the controller of your personal information for purposes of GDPR. Contact: legal@dancealive.com.

Legal bases

  • Contract: processing necessary to provide the Services you subscribe to (account, content delivery, billing)
  • Legitimate interests: security monitoring, fraud prevention, service improvement (you may object)
  • Legal obligation: retention of billing records for tax compliance
  • Consent: for any future processing that requires it (we do not currently rely on consent)

International transfers

Our sub-processors are located in the United States. We rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and applicable Data Privacy Framework (DPF) adequacy where available for transfers from the EEA/UK/Switzerland to the United States.

Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Contacting us first usually resolves issues more quickly.

Automated decision-making

The personalized recommendations described in this Policy are automated but do not produce legal or similarly significant effects within the meaning of Article 22 of the GDPR. We do not make solely automated decisions that produce such effects about you. You may contact us to ask about this processing or to object to it.

11. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us at legal@dancealive.com and we will delete it promptly. Users aged 13–17 may use the Services only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The version and effective date at the top reflect the most recent changes. We will notify you of material changes by email or in-app notice. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
