Why we value your privacy
We value your privacy as much as we do our own, so we are committed to keeping your personal and business information safe. We’re uncomfortable with the information companies, governments, and other organisations keep on file, so we ask for only the bare minimum from our customers. We’ll never use your personal information for any reason other than why you gave it, and we’ll never give anyone access to it unless we are forced to by law.
How we collect information
We ask for contact information including your name, email address, and phone number, on our website so that we can reply to your enquiry.
Our website doesn’t use cookies or scripts that were designed to track the websites you visit.
Occasionally, we might receive your contact information from one of our partners. If we do, we protect it in exactly the same way as if you give it to us directly.
What information we hold
- When you contact us by email or through our website, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and the company you work for, if you’ve given us that.
- If you do business with us, we collect your business name and bank details and keep records of the invoices we send you and the payments you make.

Amelie Adam, the general manager is responsible for the security of your information. You can contact her by email at amelie@impactdance.co.uk if you have any concerns about the information we store.
Who has access to information about you
When we store information in our own systems, only the people who need it have access. Impact Dance Foundation staff have access to everything you’ve provided, but individual employees have access to only what they need to do their job.
The steps we take to keep your information private
Where we store your information in third-party services, we restrict access only to people who need it. We store passwords in an encrypted password manager, use a different, randomly generated password for each service, and never use the same password twice.
The computers we use are all encrypted and are protected by a passcode or fingerprint access. These computers ask for authentication whenever they’re started or after 5 minutes of inactivity. Our mobile devices are also protected by fingerprint or facial recognition.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement.
