Privacy Policy — My Barre App

Effective Date: March 24, 2025
Developer: My Barre App

1. Overview

My Barre App (“the App”) provides communication, scheduling, tuition, and class-management tools for studios, teachers, parents, and students.
We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.
This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to operate the App securely and effectively.

• Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, and role (parent, student, teacher, admin).
  
  

• Class and Studio Data: Enrollment details, schedules, attendance, tuition rates, and payment history.
  
  

• Payment Information: Handled securely by Stripe; we do not store or process credit card numbers.
  
  

• Device Information: Basic device identifiers and Firebase-provided analytics to ensure proper app functioning.
  
  

• Communications Data: Messages, announcements, or notes shared within your studio environment.
  
  

3. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used solely to provide and improve the App:

• Authenticate users and manage access roles.
  
  

• Display classes, tuition balances, and messages relevant to your account.
  
  

• Process payments through Stripe Connect.
  
  

• Maintain studio-specific communication and notifications.
  
  

• Comply with legal and accounting requirements.
  
  

4. Data Storage and Security

• All data is stored in Google Firebase Cloud Firestore and protected with strict access rules.
  
  

• Authentication and user roles are managed via Firebase Authentication.
  
  

• Sensitive data (e.g., payment tokens) is handled exclusively by Stripe using industry-standard encryption.
  
  

• We implement SSL/TLS encryption and least-privilege access controls.
  
  

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising.
Data may only be shared with:

• Stripe, Inc., for secure payment processing; and
  
  

• Google Firebase, for app hosting and infrastructure.
  
  

These providers act strictly as data processors on our behalf under their privacy and security policies.

6. Children’s Privacy

My Barre App may include student profiles created by parents or studios.
We comply with COPPA and similar regulations — children’s data is collected only with parental consent and used solely for studio management purposes.

7. Your Rights

You may:

• Request access to or correction of your data.
  
  

• Request account deletion at any time by contacting support.
  
  

• Opt out of non-essential notifications.
  
  

Requests can be sent to info@mybarreapp.com.

8. Data Retention

We retain user data only as long as necessary to provide services or meet legal requirements.
When an account is deleted, related records are permanently removed or anonymized.

9. International Data Transfer

All data is stored in the United States on Firebase’s servers.
By using the App, you consent to this transfer and storage.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Updates will be posted within the App and on our website with the revised effective date.
