• Personal Information: Name, age, email address, phone number, and any details provided through event registrations or contact forms.

• Media: Photos and videos taken at our events (with parental consent for minors).

• Payment Information: If applicable, payment details for event fees (processed through secure third-party payment providers).

• Ensure the safety and suitability of participants (especially minors).

• Share updates about upcoming events, workshops, and promotions (only if you opt-in).

3. Protection of Children’s Privacy

• We do not collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent.

• Parents/guardians can request access to, modification, or deletion of their child’s data.

4. Media & Photography Consent

• We respect parental consent when using images of minors. Unless a parent or guardian has given explicit permission, we will not use images where a child’s face is clearly visible.

• Group photos or wide shots where individuals are not easily identifiable may be used for promotional purposes.

• Parents who do not wish for their child to be photographed at all should notify us in writing before the event.

5. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell or share personal information with third parties, except:

• When required by law.

• When working with trusted third-party services (e.g., payment processors).

6. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information. However, no online data transmission is 100% secure, so we encourage users to be mindful when sharing personal details online.
