Privacy Policy

Information We May Collect

• Basic usage data such as pages viewed, referring pages, device/browser information, and approximate location. We use Google Analytics 4 to measure this in aggregate.
• Information you choose to send through email (hello@dancerdeals.com), a contact/correction form, submission form, or email signup.
• Affiliate-link click data or merchant referral data when monetized links are active.
• Cookies or similar technologies needed for analytics, spam prevention, affiliate attribution, or site operation.

Affiliate Links And Cookies

When affiliate links are active on this site, clicking one may cause the merchant or affiliate network to set a cookie in your browser that allows them to attribute any subsequent purchase you make on their site to us as the referrer. We do not see your personal shopping details. We only receive aggregate referral and commission reporting from the merchant or affiliate network. You can disable third-party cookies in your browser, which will prevent affiliate attribution but otherwise will not affect your use of this site. Active affiliate programs are listed on the affiliate-disclosure page.

Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how readers find and use the site, measured in aggregate (pages viewed, referring sources, device and browser type, and approximate location derived from your IP address). This helps us improve guides and reliability. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser; we do not use this data to identify you personally or to build advertising profiles. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) or by blocking analytics cookies in your browser. Google's handling of this data is governed by its own privacy policy.

How We Use Information

• Improve guides, merchant records, search performance, and site reliability.
• Respond to corrections, partnership inquiries, and reader messages.
• Operate email updates only if a reader explicitly signs up.
• Measure affiliate-link performance via the merchant's or network's aggregate reporting, without our storing any sensitive shopping details.

Data-Minimization Promise

We collect only the information we can responsibly maintain. Any analytics, email, form, cookie, or affiliate tool that is added in the future will be reflected in this policy.

Children's Privacy

DancerDeals is written for adults: dance parents, teachers, and studio owners shopping for dancewear. The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, email hello@dancerdeals.com and we will delete it.

• Email hello@dancerdeals.com to ask what (if any) personal information we hold about you.
