In the course of operating the Star-Lite Dance Studio website, we may collect two types of information about our users: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.

Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, email address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered Personal Information.

Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on the Star-Lite Dance Studio website, is also considered Non-Personal Information.

Non-Personal Information may be collected or derived by us in the course of operating the Star-Lite Dance Studio website. For example, our Web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information which is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon when you choose to visit the Star-Lite Dance Studio website.
