Privacy Policy

1. Who is responsible for information

For questions about information handled by this website, the studio contact is , at . The studio's published email contact is info@lumariquessavela.com. You may use that address to request access, correction or information about our practices. If you need to reach a person responsible for the protection of personal information, state that purpose in your enquiry and it will be directed appropriately.

2. Scope and types of personal information

The site presents our studio's background, approaches to dance, offerings and photographs. Its supplied pages do not contain an account system, checkout, newsletter subscription, booking engine or web contact form. When you independently send us an email, we may receive your name, email address, the contents of your message and any additional details you choose to share. Please do not include sensitive medical, financial or identification information unless specifically necessary and requested through an appropriate secure channel.

When the site is served by a web host, basic technical information may be processed in connection with delivery and security, such as an IP address, browser user agent, request time, requested page and server error data. Which logs exist, how long they are retained and who operates the server depend on the actual hosting arrangement; we do not represent these details as fully known before deployment.

3. Why we use information

We use information supplied in a studio enquiry to reply, provide relevant details about dance activities, clarify participation requirements, discuss schedules and respond to administrative matters. Limited server information may be used to deliver web pages, diagnose technical problems, protect against abuse or investigate a security event. We do not describe or undertake automated profiling, behavioural advertising or sale of your information in this static website.

4. Legal grounds and consent

We handle personal information in accordance with applicable Quebec and Canadian privacy requirements, including Quebec's private-sector privacy law where relevant. Where European data protection rules such as the GDPR apply to a particular interaction, an appropriate lawful basis is required: for example, your request before steps toward a service, our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries or protecting the service, and consent when the law requires it. Consent can be withdrawn when processing relies on consent, without affecting earlier lawful processing.

5. Limiting use, sharing and disclosure

Information received in an enquiry is used for studio-related communication. We may share necessary information with personnel or service providers involved in handling it, subject to appropriate confidentiality and protection safeguards. We may disclose information when legally required, to exercise legal rights or to respond to significant security risks. We do not intentionally publish private enquiries. The static front-end supplied with this website does not include external advertising pixels, social widgets or third-party analytics scripts.

6. Storage, safeguards and retention

We aim to limit access to information to people who need it for an authorised purpose and use reasonable administrative, organisational and technical safeguards proportionate to the information involved. No transmission or electronic storage method is completely secure. Enquiry messages should be kept only for the period necessary to address the request, meet applicable legal obligations, resolve disputes or maintain required business records, after which they should be deleted or appropriately anonymised. The precise retention period may depend on the purpose and legal requirements; please ask for details relevant to your enquiry.

7. Cookies and local storage

The static pages provided for this website do not set optional analytics, advertising or personalisation cookies and do not require a cookie banner to enable a non-existent tracking feature. Browsers or a future hosting platform may use strictly necessary mechanisms outside this front-end's control. Read our Cookie Policy for details and instructions for browser-level control. If we introduce non-essential tracking technology, the disclosures and any required consent mechanism must be updated before it is used.

8. International access and transfers

Visitors can access the public site from different jurisdictions. Depending on where the site is hosted or where service providers operate, a limited amount of technical information could be processed outside Quebec or Canada. We should assess any transfer that requires an evaluation or safeguards under applicable law before implementing it. We do not claim that data is always stored exclusively in Canada without knowing the hosting environment.

9. Your privacy rights

Subject to applicable exceptions, you may ask whether we hold personal information about you, request access to it, ask for correction of inaccurate or incomplete records and raise concerns about how it has been used. Where applicable law provides them, additional rights may include withdrawal of consent, deletion, restriction, data portability, or objection to a particular processing activity. Requests are assessed based on the governing law and the nature of the records involved.

Send a request to info@lumariquessavela.com and describe the records or interaction involved. We may take proportionate steps to confirm that a requester is authorised to receive the data. We will explain any lawful reason for declining a request and the available complaint route.

10. Children's information

Dance activities may interest families, including young people. The website is a public information resource and does not intentionally solicit personal information directly from children through a form. Parents and guardians should contact the studio when enquiring about participation by a minor. Any future collection of information from or about minors must reflect the applicable age, consent and protection rules.

11. External websites and media

The provided site uses locally stored images and does not depend on embedded social-media widgets or externally hosted visual assets. Any external website you decide to visit is governed by that operator's practices, not this policy. Photographs on the site are illustrative studio-themed content; they should not be treated as identifying specific students, staff or confirmed events solely from their captions.

12. Questions, complaints and policy changes

We welcome questions before you provide information. Send privacy enquiries to info@lumariquessavela.com, or write to , . Depending on the circumstances, you may also have the right to contact the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec or the appropriate privacy regulator. We will update the date at the top of this policy when meaningful changes occur. Material new processing activities should be disclosed before or when they begin, with consent requested where legally necessary.
