Privacy Policy

At Toronto Dance Salsa Inc. we know how important it is to protect your personal information. Whether you are registering with us online or in person we want to make every client experience safe and secure. In keeping with that goal, we have developed this Privacy Policy to outline our guidelines for the collection and use of personal information by Toronto Dance Salsa Inc.

Who is Toronto Dance Salsa Inc.?

Toronto Dance Salsa Inc. is a wholly owned Canadian company providing a wide array of dance lessons.

What information does Toronto Dance Salsa Inc. collect and how is it used?

At Toronto Dance Salsa Inc., we collect two types of information: personal information and non-personal information.

With your consent we may use your personal information for a number of different purposes, for example to:

• fulfill requests for classes, services or information;
• provide customer services;
  administer contests or promotions;
• offer new products and services;
• measure and improve the effectiveness of our Web Sites or our marketing endeavours;
• and tailor our online offerings to your preferences.

We may also collect and summarize customer information in a format that no longer identifies the individual for statistical purposes.

Personal information typically includes your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. You can always choose not to provide us with any of your personal information. However, if you make this choice we may not be able to provide you with the product, service, or information that you requested. For example, we can only offer you credit card service if you have provided us with certain financial information.

Non-personal information does not identify you as an individual. For example, we may ask you for your postal code to assist us with planning our promotions.

Your implied consent

In some cases, your consent is implied if we ask you to provide personal information with a stated purpose. For example, we can only deliver the product you have purchased if you provide us with your address and phone number.

Your express consent

In other cases, we will ask you to give your express consent to use your personal information to advise you of products or services that may be of interest. You always have the opportunity to "opt out" of having your information used for this purpose.

Withdrawing your consent

If you have "opted in", we will always provide you the opportunity to "opt out" or unsubscribe. For example, you can always e-mail us indicating that you decline further e-mails.
