Privacy Policy

Who we are

Step is a product of WeDance, LLC (300 Delaware Ave, Ste 210 #667, Wilmington, DE 19801). Whenever this policy says "we" or "us," it means the WeDance team responsible for Step and our wider dance ecosystem.

We wrote this in plain language because privacy should be easy to understand—especially when you are halfway between classes and socials.

Information we collect

To help you find the right dancers, events, and opportunities, we need a few details. Here is what we collect when you use Step or any WeDance service:

• Things you give us: account details (name, email, profile info), photos, event preferences, payment information handled through trusted providers, and messages you send to other dancers or to us.
• Things we collect automatically: device details, logs about how you use Step, approximate location (when you turn it on), and performance data that helps us keep everything running smoothly.

How we use it

WeDance uses your information to:

• Keep your Step account working across devices and features.
• Suggest events, partners, teachers, and content tailored to you.
• Process tickets and purchases securely.
• Communicate updates about events, community news, and new features (you can opt out whenever you like).
• Improve Step by understanding what works well and what needs love.
• Meet legal obligations and keep the community safe.

Payment processing and Stripe

Step uses Stripe, a leading payment processor, to handle all transactions securely. When you make a purchase or connect a payout account, here is how your payment information is handled:

• We never see your full card number. When you enter payment details, they go directly to Stripe's secure servers. We only receive a token that lets us process your purchase.
• Stripe is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified—the highest level of security certification in the payments industry.
• For organizers using Stripe Connect: Stripe collects and verifies your identity and banking information directly. WeDance receives only the information needed to display your payout status and facilitate transactions.
• Transaction records: We keep records of your purchases (event name, amount, date) to provide receipts, handle refunds, and comply with tax regulations. These records do not include your full payment details.

You can learn more about how Stripe handles your data in their privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

Who we share it with

We share information only when it is needed to deliver Step or when you say we can. Examples include:

• Other dancers who view your public profile, classes, or event attendance.
• Event organizers when you register for their events.
• Partners such as Booking.com and Omio when making accommodation bookings and travel arrangements smoother.
• Service providers that support infrastructure, analytics, customer support, or fraud prevention under contract with WeDance.
• Partners you explicitly approve.
• Law enforcement or regulators if we are legally required to do so.

We do not sell your personal information. Period.

Keeping your data safe

WeDance uses encryption, access controls, secure hosting, and regular reviews to protect data. No online system is perfect, but we treat your information like our own and continually upgrade our safeguards.

You are in control

Through Step settings or by contacting us, you can:

• Update profile details.
• Download a copy of your data.
• Delete your account.
• Adjust communications and location permissions.
• Ask us to limit or stop certain uses where the law allows.

Location features

Step uses location to surface nearby socials, classes, and dancers. Location services are optional—you can turn them on or off at any time from your device settings. Some features simply work better when location is enabled.

Age requirements

Step is designed for adults 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent and believe your child has created an account, please contact us immediately and we will address it.

International dancers welcome

WeDance serves a global dance community. Your information may be processed in different countries, but wherever it goes, we ensure it is protected with the same high standards. Dance knows no borders, and neither does our commitment to your privacy.

How long we keep things

We keep your information while you maintain a Step account and for a reasonable period afterward to handle requests and comply with the law. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize personal data unless we must keep something for legal or safety reasons.

Cookies and analytics

Like most apps and websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and understand how people use Step. This helps us improve features and fix issues. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Policy updates

As Step and the WeDance ecosystem evolve, this policy might change. We will post updates here and notify you about significant changes within the app or by email. Continuing to use Step after an update means you agree with the new terms.
