What security precautions are in place to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information?
BellyDance shall take the appropriate organizational and technical measures to protect the personal information and IP data provided to it or collected by it necessary to comply fully with any and all applicable laws, obligations, and regulations.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, BellyDance cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
How long is your personal information stored?
BellyDance will retain your personal information and IP information as long as is permitted by applicable laws and regulations.
What we do NOT do.
We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, login name, or password, in an unsecure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. Additionally we will not request any confidential or personal information through a social networking site such as Twitter™, Instagram™, or Facebook™.
What else should you know about your privacy?
If you choose to use the BellyDance’s website you should be aware that any information transmitted electronically via the World Wide Web might not be secure. BellyDance assumes no liability for the loss of any information that you transmit to us via the World Wide Web.
We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with a law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BellyDance, our employees, our users, or others.
In communicating with you, we may send e-mail as unencrypted plain text because we are aware that most customers cannot easily process encrypted e-mail. This is done for your convenience, but with the security concern that, if misrouted or intercepted, it could be read more easily than encrypted e-mail.
Effective date of this policy and future modification
This privacy policy is effective as of February 22, 2016. BellyDance reserves the right to make changes, deletions, modifications, or provide supplements to this policy from time to time. Changes will apply to the information collected after the date of changes as well as to existing information held by us and will take effect immediately upon publication, unless otherwise stated in writing by BellyDance. You agree that the express acceptance by you, or your continued use of the BellyDance website or after publication of changes, shall constitute your acceptance of the privacy policy.
