Privacy Policy
Last updated 2 September 2026. This explains what we collect when you contact or enroll with us, why, and the choices you have.
Who we are
Pin & Plié Dance Academy operates a children’s dance studio at Cihangir Mah., Sıraselviler Cad. No:118/2, Beyoğlu / İstanbul. For any privacy question you can reach us at hello@barreandplie.com.tr or +90 212 243 18 76. We are the data controller for the information described here.
What we collect
When you send an enrollment or contact form we collect the parent or guardian’s name, email address and phone number, the message you write, and any details you share about your dancer such as their age and preferred styles. When you use the program picker, the choices you make stay in your browser unless you carry them into a form yourself.
We do not ask for national identity numbers, payment card details or financial identifiers through this website. Fees are arranged in person or by direct bank transfer.
Why we use it
We use your details to reply to your enquiry, to arrange trial classes and enrollment, to keep safe and current medical and emergency-contact notes for active dancers, and to send you the practical information a parent needs during a term. We rely on your consent for enquiries and on the performance of our agreement with you once your child is enrolled.
Children’s data
Because we teach children, we treat their information with particular care. Details about a dancer are always provided by a parent or guardian, are used only to run classes safely, and are shared with the teaching team on a need-to-know basis. Recital photographs are only published with a separate, explicit opt-in that you can withdraw at any time.
How long we keep it
| Data | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Enquiry that does not become an enrollment | 12 months, then deleted |
| Active dancer records | While enrolled, plus 24 months |
| Photo consent records | Until you withdraw consent |
Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the studio — for example our email and hosting providers — and only to the extent they need it. They are bound to protect it and to use it solely on our instructions.
Your rights
You may ask to see the data we hold about you or your child, correct it, delete it, or object to a particular use. To exercise any of these, email hello@barreandplie.com.tr and we will respond within 30 days. You may also lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority.
