When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages and products viewed, approximate location derived from your IP address, cart activity, date and time of access, cookie and session information, and information used to detect fraud or security threats.
WooCommerce may use this information to maintain your cart, show recently viewed products, estimate taxes, complete checkout, and provide other store functions.

- Process and manage orders.
- Provide access to purchased digital products.

We do not use your email address for marketing unless you have subscribed or otherwise given permission where required.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where laws such as the UK or EU General Data Protection Regulation apply, we process personal information under one or more of these legal bases:
- Performance of a contract: To process an order, deliver a product, manage an account, or provide requested support.
- Consent: To send optional marketing or use nonessential technologies where consent is required.
- Legitimate interests: To operate, improve, and secure the website; prevent fraud; maintain appropriate business records; and provide customer service.
- Legal obligation: To meet applicable tax, accounting, regulatory, and legal requirements.
You may withdraw consent for optional marketing at any time without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Orders and Customer Accounts
The website uses WooCommerce to operate the online store. When you place an order, we may collect your name, email address, billing address, telephone number if provided, order contents, payment status, transaction identifiers, IP address, and related checkout information.
Guest checkout is available. You may also create an account. If you create an account, your account information and order history are stored so you can manage your account and access eligible downloads.
Website administrators and authorized shop managers may access order and customer information when necessary to fulfill orders, provide support, process refunds, investigate problems, maintain records, and operate the store.
Payments
We accept payments through WooPayments and PayPal. When you choose a payment method, information needed to process or support the transaction may be sent to the applicable provider. This may include your name, email address, billing address, telephone number, transaction amount, currency, payment status, device information, IP address, and transaction identifiers.
The Dancing Pine Studio does not directly receive or store your complete credit- or debit-card number. WooPayments works with Stripe for payment processing. Payment providers process information according to their own policies:
Digital-Product Delivery
Purchased products may be delivered through WooCommerce download links and third-party cloud-storage services. Download records may include the order number, customer email address, product purchased, download permissions, number of attempts, IP address, and time of access.
Some files may currently be hosted or delivered through Google Drive. Google may process technical information when you access a file. See the Google Privacy Policy. We may change file-delivery providers as the website develops and will update this policy when a material change affects customer information.
Email Marketing and the Free Member Asset Vault
We use MailerLite to manage newsletters, promotional emails, and Free Member Asset Vault communications. When you subscribe, we may collect your email address, name if requested, signup date and source, IP address, consent and subscription status, email opens, link clicks, and unsubscribe activity.
We use this information to send requested emails, maintain subscription records, understand email engagement, and improve communications. You may unsubscribe through the link in any marketing email. Unsubscribing does not prevent transactional messages concerning orders, accounts, downloads, or support.
See the MailerLite Privacy Policy.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website uses cookies and similar technologies necessary to operate WordPress, WooCommerce, customer accounts, payment processing, security features, signup forms, and the shopping cart.
These technologies may keep products in your cart, remember login status and preferences, maintain checkout sessions, support payment processing, protect against fraud, record recently viewed products, and support website security and performance.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent the cart, checkout, account, payment, or download functions from working correctly.
Analytics and Advertising Technologies
The Dancing Pine Studio does not currently use Google Analytics or the Meta Pixel on this website.
We may add analytics or advertising technologies in the future to understand traffic, product interest, advertising performance, and customer behavior. Before materially changing these practices, we will update this Privacy Policy and implement any consent tools required by applicable law.
Product Reviews and Comments
If you leave a review or comment, we may collect the information entered in the form, your IP address, browser information, and information used for spam and fraud detection. Approved content may be displayed publicly with the name or display name you provide. Do not include private information in a public review or comment.
An anonymized value created from your email address may be shared with Gravatar to determine whether you use a Gravatar profile. See the Automattic Privacy Policy.
Embedded Content and External Links
Pages or posts may include embedded videos, images, social-media content, or other third-party material. Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those services may collect information, use cookies, and monitor interactions according to their own practices.
The website may contain external links. The Dancing Pine Studio is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of websites it does not control.
Hosting, Security, and Website Administration
The website is hosted and supported through SiteGround services. Hosting and security systems may process IP addresses, browser information, server logs, login attempts, error information, and other technical data needed to host, protect, troubleshoot, back up, and operate the website.
When We Share Information
We do not sell personal information for money.
We may share limited information with service providers when necessary to operate the business, including WooCommerce and Automattic, WooPayments and Stripe, PayPal, MailerLite, SiteGround, Google Drive or other file-delivery providers, and professional accountants, legal advisers, or tax professionals.
We may also disclose information to prevent fraud or security threats, enforce our terms, comply with legal or tax requirements, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale of the business.
International Customers and Data Transfers
The Dancing Pine Studio sells digital products worldwide and operates from the United States. If you access the website from another country, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or another country where our providers operate.
Privacy laws may differ between countries. Where required, providers may use approved contractual terms, recognized certification frameworks, or other lawful safeguards for international transfers.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet legal, tax, accounting, security, fraud-prevention, and dispute-resolution obligations.
- Completed-order records may generally be retained for up to seven years.
- Customer-account information may be retained while the account is active and for a reasonable period afterward.
- Download permissions and logs may be retained while access remains available or while needed for support and fraud prevention.
- Marketing subscription records may be retained until you unsubscribe or the information is no longer needed. Limited suppression records may be retained to honor an unsubscribe request.
- Reviews, comments, and related metadata may be retained indefinitely unless removal is requested and no legal or business reason requires retention.
- Security logs and backups may be retained for limited periods based on hosting and security practices.
Some information may remain temporarily in backups after removal from active systems.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a portable copy of eligible information; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; opt out of marketing; or complain to an applicable authority.
These rights may be limited when information must be retained to complete a transaction, preserve access to purchased products, prevent fraud, comply with legal or tax requirements, or establish or defend legal claims.
To make a request, email hello@thedancingpinestudio.com with the subject line Privacy Request. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
Children’s Privacy
The website and its products are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, remove it.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information, including HTTPS encryption, access controls, security monitoring, established payment providers, software updates, backups, and fraud-prevention tools. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy when the website, services, providers, legal requirements, or data practices change. The revised policy will be posted here with an updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or by email when appropriate or legally required.
