Privacy Policy
Line Up — lineup.dance
Last updated: August 15, 2026
Plain-English Note: This policy explains what data we collect about you, why we collect it, and what control you have over it. We keep it straightforward — no hidden surprises.
1. Who We Are
Line Up ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website lineup.dance — a community platform for line dance and country dance enthusiasts. If you have privacy questions, reach us at hello@lineup.dance.
2. What Data We Collect
Data You Give Us Directly
| Data | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | Account signup, or joining the waitlist | Authentication, account recovery, transactional emails |
| Display name and username | Account creation | To identify you on the platform |
| Profile photo | Profile setup (optional) | To help others recognize you |
| Country, city or region, home club or venue | Profile setup (optional) | To connect you with dancers near you |
| Social media handles and website | Profile setup (optional) | Displayed on your public profile, if you add them |
| Confirmation that you are 13 or older | Account creation | Eligibility — see Section 8 |
| Your agreement to our Terms, and your email preference | Account creation | To record what you agreed to and when |
| Payment information | Paid subscription signup | To process your subscription |
| User-generated content | When you rate dances, create lists, submit dances or events, etc. | Core platform functionality |
Fields marked optional can be left blank, and you can edit or clear them later in your settings.
Note on payments: We use a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe). We do not store your full card number, CVV, or billing details on our servers.
Data We Collect Automatically
When you use the Service, we may automatically collect:
- Usage data — pages visited, features used, time spent, clicks
- Device and browser data — browser type, operating system, screen size
- IP address — for security, fraud prevention, and general analytics
- Approximate country — derived from your connection by our hosting provider, used to order the country list during signup and to set your default email preference. We do not store your IP-derived location as part of your profile.
- Error and diagnostic data — when something breaks, our error monitoring tool records what happened, which can include your account identifier and the page you were on
- Cookies and similar technologies — to keep you logged in and understand how the Service is used
Data We Do Not Collect
We do not ask for or store your date of birth or your age. At signup we ask you to confirm you meet the minimum age in Section 8 — we record that confirmation, not a birth date.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use your data to:
- Operate the Service — create and manage your account, display your content, process payments
- Communicate with you — send transactional emails (password resets, billing receipts), and if you opt in, product updates
- Improve the Service — analyze usage patterns to fix bugs and build better features
- Ensure security — detect fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
- Comply with legal obligations — respond to lawful requests from authorities when required
We do not sell or share your personal data to or with third parties for advertising.
Our Legal Bases (for users in the EEA and UK)
Where data protection law requires us to name a legal basis, we rely on:
- Performance of a contract — to give you the account and features you signed up for
- Legitimate interests — to keep the Service secure, prevent abuse, and improve how it works
- Consent — for marketing emails, which you can withdraw at any time
- Legal obligation — where the law requires us to retain or disclose data
4. How We Share Your Data
We may share your data with:
- Service providers — companies that help us run Line Up. These providers only process your data on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect it:
- Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage
- Vercel — website hosting and delivery
- Resend — transactional and product emails
- Stripe — payment processing
- Sentry — error monitoring and diagnostics
- Analytics tools — to understand usage trends (data is aggregated and/or anonymized where possible)
- Legal authorities — when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of users or the public
Anything you put on your public profile — your display name, username, photo, location, social links, and the lists and ratings you make public — is visible to other users and to visitors who are not signed in. Please treat those fields as public.
5. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep you logged in between sessions
- Remember your preferences
- Analyze usage and performance
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features (like staying logged in).
We do not use cookies for cross-site advertising tracking.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account:
- Your profile and personal data will be deleted or anonymized within 30 days
- Some anonymized data (e.g., aggregate ratings) may be retained to preserve platform integrity
- We may retain data longer if required by law or for fraud prevention
7. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your account and associated data
- Export your data in a portable format
- Opt out of non-essential communications
- Object to or restrict certain processing
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@lineup.dance. We'll respond within 30 days. You can also delete your account yourself at any time from your account settings.
If you are in the EEA or UK and believe we have handled your data improperly, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Email Preferences
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any email we send, or from your account settings. Outside the United States, marketing emails are off unless you turn them on. You cannot opt out of transactional emails (like password resets and billing receipts) while your account is active.
8. Children's Privacy
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, and we ask you to confirm this when you create an account. The Service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will delete it and close the account promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created an account, email us at hello@lineup.dance and we will remove it.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:
- Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS)
- Secure, access-controlled databases
- Limited internal access to personal data
No system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the Service at your own risk.
10. Third-Party Links and Integrations
The Service may link to or integrate with third-party services. Those services have their own privacy policies and terms, and we are not responsible for their data practices.
If you choose to connect a music service such as Spotify to your account, we receive limited information from that service in order to provide the feature — for example your account identifier and what you are currently playing. You can disconnect a linked service at any time from your account settings, and each service sets its own minimum age and terms.
11. International Users
Line Up is operated from the United States, and your data is stored and processed there.
If you are in the EEA or the UK, transfers of your data to the United States are made under the safeguards required by applicable law, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. You can contact us at hello@lineup.dance for more information about the safeguards we rely on.
12. California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to correct it, the right to request its deletion, and the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information.
We do not sell or share your personal information, as those terms are defined under California law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. To exercise them, contact us at hello@lineup.dance.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and, for material changes, notify you by email or an in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
