1. Introduction & Scope
Lesson Leap LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a digital resource platform for dance educators. This policy applies to all users globally. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we act as the Data Controller.
2. Information We Collect
We collect data to provide our services effectively:
- Directly Provided: Name, email, billing address, and account credentials.
- Automatically Collected: IP addresses, browser type, and “cookies” (subject to your consent in the EU).
- Student Data: If you are a dance educator uploading student rosters, we collect names and progress data.
3. Lawful Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Under the GDPR, we process your data only when we have a legal basis:
- Contractual Necessity: To provide the platform services you signed up for.
- Consent: For marketing emails or non-essential cookies (which you can withdraw at any time).
- Legitimate Interests: To improve our platform and ensure site security.
4. Children’s Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)
We take the privacy of minors seriously.
- US Users (COPPA): Our service is directed to adult dance educators. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without Verifiable Parental Consent. If an educator uses Lesson Leap to manage data for students under 13, the educator represents that they have obtained the necessary parental consent for such processing.
- EU Users (GDPR-K): We do not process data of children under 16 (or 13-15 depending on the member state) without explicit parental or guardian consent.
5. Your International Data Rights
Regardless of where you live, Lesson Leap provides the following rights:
- Right to Access & Portability: Request a digital copy of your data.
- Right to Rectification: Correct any inaccurate info (e.g., updating your billable rate or account details).
- Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): Request that we delete your data.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Easily opt-out of tracking or marketing.
6. International Data Transfers
Lesson Leap is based in Texas, USA. By using our service, users in the EU acknowledge that their data will be transferred to and processed in the United States. We utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure your data receives a level of protection equivalent to that in the EU.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services (e.g., maintaining your lesson plan history). We will delete data upon request unless legally required to keep it.
