Last updated: August 2026

At Pasito Dance School, we respect your privacy and aim to handle your personal data carefully, transparently and only where necessary for providing our services.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we use it, how it may be shared, and what rights you have regarding your information.

2. What personal data we collect

Depending on how you interact with Pasito Dance School, we may process information such as:

  • Your name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • Classes, courses, subscriptions or other services you have booked or purchased

  • Class registrations and attendance history

  • Payment and transaction information

  • Communications between you and Pasito Dance School

  • Your email communication preferences

When you create or maintain an account through our booking platform, Bueno, you may also voluntarily provide additional information such as:

  • Address

  • Date of birth

  • Gender

These additional fields are not normally required by Pasito Dance School in order to participate in our regular classes.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless this is necessary for a specific situation and you provide it to us voluntarily.

3. Bookings and accounts through Bueno

Our class registrations, course purchases, subscriptions and bookings are managed through Bueno.nu.

When you register for a class, purchase a course or otherwise use Bueno to access our services, the information associated with your account and bookings is stored through the Bueno platform and made available to us where necessary to manage your participation.

We use this information for purposes such as:

  • Processing registrations and bookings

  • Managing class attendance

  • Managing memberships, subscriptions and course participation

  • Providing information about classes you have booked

  • Managing payments and transactions

  • Providing customer support

  • Maintaining appropriate business and financial records

Bueno may also process personal data in accordance with its own privacy terms and, where applicable, as a service provider acting on our behalf.

Payment processing may involve payment service providers integrated with or used by Bueno. These providers may process payment information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

4. Why we use your personal data

We process personal data only when we have an appropriate reason to do so.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Providing our services

We process information necessary to register you for classes, manage your bookings and subscriptions, communicate relevant information about services you have purchased and otherwise provide the services you request from us.

Communication

We may use your contact information to communicate with you about your classes, bookings or participation at Pasito Dance School.

For example, students joining beginner courses may receive emails before their first classes with useful information or reminders, and may receive follow-up communication after the course.

Optional promotional communication

Where applicable, we may also send information about Pasito Dance School, upcoming courses, events or similar activities where you have agreed to receive such communications.

You can unsubscribe from our email communications using the unsubscribe option provided in our emails.

Please note that unsubscribing from our email list may also mean that you no longer receive optional class reminders or follow-up emails sent through the same mailing system.

Legal and administrative obligations

Some information must be processed and retained in order to comply with accounting, taxation and other legal obligations.

Legitimate business purposes

We may process limited personal information where reasonably necessary to administer our school, prevent misuse or fraud, protect our systems, respond to questions or complaints, and improve the organisation of our services.

5. WhatsApp Community and class groups

Pasito Dance School operates a WhatsApp Community containing optional groups for different classes and activities.

Joining these groups is completely voluntary.

We do not normally add students to class groups without their participation. Instead, students may receive an invitation link and choose whether they wish to join.

Class WhatsApp groups generally include students participating in the relevant class as well as their instructors. They are primarily used for:

  • Class-related announcements

  • Practical information

  • Video summaries of material taught during class

  • Relevant communication between teachers and students

When you join a WhatsApp group, certain information associated with your WhatsApp account, such as your name, profile information or telephone number, may be visible to other group members depending on WhatsApp’s functionality and your own privacy settings.

WhatsApp is operated by Meta and its use is also subject to WhatsApp’s own privacy terms.

We periodically review class groups and may remove people who are no longer participating in the relevant class. Students are also free to leave a group at any time.

Please be aware that messages, videos or other content previously shared in a WhatsApp group may remain on the devices or in the chat histories of other participants even after you leave or are removed from the group.

6. Class videos, photographs and social media

We regularly record short video summaries demonstrating material taught during our classes.

These videos are intended to show the instructors demonstrating the class content. However, because they may be recorded inside the studio, students may occasionally appear incidentally in the background or in mirrors.

We do not intentionally focus these class-summary recordings on students.

If you have a concern about appearing in a particular recording, please contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to address it.

From time to time, we may also take photographs or videos intended specifically for promotional purposes, such as our website, Instagram or other social media.

When students are intentionally identifiable in promotional photographs or videos, we ask for permission before using the material.

Participation in promotional photographs or videos is voluntary and is not required in order to attend our classes.

7. Website, analytics, advertising and cookies

Our website is built using WordPress and hosted by LizWeb.

We use certain third-party technologies to understand how our website is used and to promote Pasito Dance School, including:

  • Google Analytics

  • Google Ads

  • Meta Pixel

  • Meta / Instagram services

Some of these technologies use cookies or similar technologies and may collect information such as:

  • Browser and device information

  • Pages visited

  • Approximate location derived from technical information

  • Interactions with our website

  • Referral source

  • Advertising and conversion information

  • IP address or similar online identifiers

Where consent is legally required, non-essential analytics, advertising and tracking technologies are activated only after you have made your choice through our cookie consent system.

You can accept or refuse non-essential cookies and change your preferences through the cookie settings available on our website.

Functional cookies that are necessary for the website to operate may be used without separate consent where permitted by law.

More detailed information about individual cookies, providers and their retention periods may be provided through our cookie settings or cookie notice.

8. Who we may share personal data with

We do not sell your personal data.

Where necessary for running Pasito Dance School, personal information may be processed by or shared with service providers such as:

  • Bueno, for bookings, memberships and class administration

  • Payment providers used through our booking/payment systems

  • LizWeb, our website hosting provider

  • Google, in connection with services such as Google Analytics and Google Ads

  • Meta, including Instagram, Meta Pixel and WhatsApp

  • Moneybird, for accounting and financial administration

  • Our accountants, bookkeepers or other professional advisers where necessary

  • Technical providers that support our website or business systems

  • Government authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law

We only provide access to personal data where it is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Some external service providers may process personal information outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, the relevant provider is responsible for using appropriate legal safeguards for international transfers as required by applicable data-protection law.

9. How long we keep personal data

We do not intend to keep personal information for longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Booking, membership and customer information may be retained while you are an active or recent customer and for a reasonable period afterwards where this is necessary for administration, customer support, resolving disputes or protecting our legitimate interests.

Information stored through external platforms such as Bueno may also be subject to the platform’s own retention procedures and settings.

WhatsApp group membership is reviewed periodically, and students who are no longer participating in the relevant classes may be removed.

Information required as part of our financial and tax administration, including relevant invoices and transaction records, is retained for the period required by Dutch law.

Where information is no longer necessary and there is no legal or legitimate reason to retain it, we will delete it or anonymise it where reasonably possible.

10. Your privacy rights

Under applicable data-protection law, you may have the right to:

  • Ask what personal data we hold about you

  • Request a copy of your personal data

  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information

  • Ask us to delete personal data in certain circumstances

  • Request restriction of certain processing

  • Object to certain uses of your personal data

  • Request transfer of certain information where applicable

  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

To exercise your rights, contact us at:

info@pasitodance.com

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

You also have the right to submit a complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) if you believe that your personal data has been handled unlawfully.

11. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

Because we also use external service providers, their own security measures and systems form part of how personal data is protected when information is processed through their platforms.

12. Automated decision-making

Pasito Dance School does not use personal data to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects for our students.

13. Children

Our regular classes and services are currently primarily intended for adults.

We do not currently operate children’s dance programmes or intentionally collect personal information from children specifically for such programmes.

If Pasito Dance School offers services specifically aimed at children in the future, we may introduce additional privacy procedures and update this Privacy Policy where required.

Activities operated by independent organisations or schools that rent space from us are the responsibility of those organisations, including their own registration and privacy practices.

14. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, systems or legal obligations change.

The most recent version will always be published on our website, together with the date of the latest update.
