Fine Line Theatre Arts (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is dedicated to providing exceptional training in the performing arts while maintaining the trust and privacy of our students, parents, guardians, and website visitors. This Privacy & Cookie Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit our website, finelinetheatrearts.com, or enroll in our classes, camps, and workshops.

Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms outlined below, please discontinue your use of the site.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that is necessary to manage class enrollments, communicate scheduling details, ensure student safety during instruction, and optimize our website performance.

Information You Voluntarily Provide to Us

When you register a student for a class, sign up for a workshop, submit an inquiry form, or purchase performance tickets, we may collect personal information, including:

  • Parent/Guardian Information: First and last name, email address, phone number, and billing/mailing address.

  • Student Information: Name, age/date of birth, grade level, and necessary medical notes, allergies, or physical considerations to ensure their safety during dance, theater, or voice instruction.

  • Payment Details: Financial data (such as credit card or banking details) required for tuition or ticket processing. All online payments are handled securely through our verified, PCI-compliant third-party registration or merchant gateways. We do not store full financial details on our servers.

Information Collected Automatically via Cookies

When you navigate our website, certain technical digital identifiers are collected automatically through cookies and tracking scripts. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, time spent on specific class schedule pages, and the referring URL that directed you to us.

2. Cookie Disclosure: What We Use and Why

Our website uses cookies (small text files saved on your computer or mobile device) to streamline site navigation, keep you logged into parent portal features if applicable, and provide anonymized usage insights so we can better understand community interest in our programs.

We utilize the following classifications of cookies:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies (First-Party): These are mandatory for basic website functions, such as page security, server loading, registration form submissions, and remembering your cookie consent selections.

  • Performance & Analytics Cookies (Third-Party): We utilize tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors discover our studio online and which programs (e.g., ballet, musical theater, acting) are viewed most often. These cookies collect data in an aggregate, anonymized manner that does not directly identify individual families.

  • Marketing & Social Media Tracking (Third-Party): We may leverage tracking elements (such as a Facebook Pixel or Google Ads tags) to evaluate the success of our local seasonal enrollment campaigns and ensure relevant class advertisements are delivered to interested area families.

3. How to Manage and Control Cookies

To manage your cookie preferences directly through your web browser, consult the “Help” or “Settings” interface of your provider:

To completely opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all web entities, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. How We Use Your Information

We process your data strictly under legitimate business and educational interests to operate Fine Line Theatre Arts smoothly, including:

  • Processing student registrations, organizing class rosters, and managing tuition billing.

  • Sending critical studio communications, including rehearsal schedules, performance details, weather cancellations, and studio newsletters (you may opt-out of newsletters at any time).

  • Contacting parents or emergency contacts immediately in the event of a student illness or emergency during instruction.

  • Reviewing anonymized website traffic data to identify site optimization needs.

We do not sell, rent, trade, lease, or share family contact information or student files with outside third-party companies or corporate advertisers for their own marketing purposes.

5. Media, Photography, and Video Disclosures

Fine Line Theatre Arts frequently takes photographs and video recordings of classes, rehearsals, and public performances to celebrate student achievements and promote our programs in digital and print marketing. Specific media release terms are provided and agreed to separately during our formal student enrollment process and are not dictated by this website privacy policy alone.

6. Children’s Privacy Notice

While our website lists performing arts programs for children, it is designed to be utilized by adults (parents and legal guardians) to coordinate registrations. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 through this website. Any data pertaining to students under 13 must be provided strictly by a parent or legal guardian. If we discover that a child under 13 has bypassed this and submitted personal data independently, it will be instantly purged from our records.

7. Data Security and Retention

We employ reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative security safeguards to prevent the loss, theft, misuse, or unauthorized modification of student files and tuition accounts. We retain your personal details and enrollment history only for as long as necessary to fulfill the educational services requested, maintain business accounting records, or comply with statutory Connecticut business regulations.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to revise or modify this Privacy & Cookie Policy at our discretion to reflect updates to studio operations or digital compliance standards. Any adjustments will be indicated by updating the “Last Updated” date displayed at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website following changes denotes your acknowledgement of the amended terms.
