Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 13, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how churchvr collects and uses your personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly. This policy explains what information we gather, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.
Information We Collect
We collect information in several ways to provide and improve our services. When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain data about your device and browsing behavior, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience.
If you choose to register for events or create an account, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and age to verify you meet our 45+ community criteria. You may also provide information when you subscribe to our event notifications or contact us with inquiries. Any information you voluntarily share in comments or reviews is also collected.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to deliver, maintain, and improve our event calendar and services. Your data helps us personalize your experience, recommend relevant dance events and festivals, and send you updates about salsa socials, bachata weekends, and outdoor gatherings that match your interests.
We also use your information for administrative purposes, such as responding to your inquiries, processing registrations, and preventing fraud or abuse. Analytics data helps us understand how our website is used, allowing us to optimize content and functionality. We may also use your information to comply with legal obligations or protect our rights and safety.
Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information at any time. You can also request that we limit how we use your data or withdraw consent for specific uses. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us with details of your request.
You can manage your communication preferences by unsubscribing from our event notifications through the links in our emails. You may also adjust your browser settings to control cookies, though this may affect your experience on our website. We respect your choices and will honor your preferences regarding data collection and use.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies to improve your browsing experience and track usage patterns on our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and provide personalized content. We use both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain longer.
We also employ analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our site, helping us enhance performance and content. Third-party services may use cookies to serve relevant advertisements based on your interests. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences or opt out of specific tracking technologies. For more details, please see our Cookie Policy.
Data Security and Storage
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Our security practices include encryption, secure servers, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. When you delete your account, we remove your personal data from our active systems, though we may retain anonymized information for analytics and legal compliance.
Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your data with service providers who assist us in operating our website and providing services, such as hosting providers, email services, and analytics platforms. These partners are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to provide their services.
We may disclose your information when required by law, such as in response to legal requests or court orders, or to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, and we will provide notice of any such change.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of our website after such updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information. If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please don't hesitate to contact us using the information provided below.
