3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell your personal information that identifies you individually. We may share your information as follows:

With Other Users: Profile information (name, photo, bio, dance preferences) is visible to other users. Messages are visible to recipients.

With Instructors or Students: Relevant contact and booking information is shared between parties for facilitated transactions.

With Service Providers: We share information with third-party providers who assist in operating the Service, including cloud hosting, payment processors (Stripe, Apple, Google), analytics providers, AI/ML service providers, content moderation services, customer support tools, and email delivery services. Providers may process Communications and User Content on our behalf.

With Advertising Partners: We use Google AdMob to serve advertisements in the mobile app. AdMob may collect and process device identifiers (including the Advertising Identifier / IDFA on iOS and Android Advertising ID on Android), IP address, coarse location, and interaction data to deliver, measure, and personalize ads. On iOS, ad personalization requires your consent via the App Tracking Transparency prompt; declining still allows non-personalized ads. Users can purchase the No Ads subscription to disable ads entirely. Google's use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and AdMob data practices.

Aggregated and De-Identified Data: We may share aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data derived from your use of the Service, including from Communications and User Content, with third parties for analytics, research, advertising, market intelligence, trend reporting, data licensing, and other commercial purposes. Such data will not identify you personally.

For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information, including Communications content, if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bailar, its users, or the public.

For Safety and Enforcement: We may access and disclose Communications to investigate Terms violations, respond to user reports, address fraud or security issues, or protect the safety of any person.

CSAM Reporting: We will disclose information to NCMEC and law enforcement as required when child sexual abuse material is detected.

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information, including Communications and Derived Data, may be transferred as part of that transaction.

With Your Consent: We may share your information for other purposes with your express consent.

4. AUTOMATED PROCESSING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

4.1 Bailar uses automated processing technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, to analyze information collected through the Service. These technologies are applied to Communications, User Content, and all other collected data.

4.2 Automated Processing is used for content moderation, safety enforcement, spam detection, CSAM detection, personalization, analytics, research, advertising, service improvement, and all other purposes described in Section 2.

4.3 Automated Processing of Communications and User Content is performed by technical systems and does not ordinarily involve direct human review of individual messages. However, authorized Bailar personnel may access Communications in the circumstances described in our Terms of Service, including to investigate reports, comply with legal obligations, train automated systems, and maintain platform integrity.

4.4 The results of Automated Processing, including Derived Data, analytical models, trained algorithms, and aggregated insights, are the proprietary property of Bailar LLC and may be used for any lawful business purpose, including commercial licensing.

5. DATA RETENTION

5.1 We retain your personal information, including Communications, for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

5.2 We may retain certain information, including Communications and Derived Data, as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and support legitimate business interests including analytics, research, and product development.

5.3 When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required or permitted by law, or where data has been anonymized or aggregated such that it no longer identifies you.

5.4 Anonymized and aggregated data derived from your information, including from Communications, may be retained indefinitely.

5.5 Deleted Communications may persist in backup systems for a reasonable period and in derivative works (including aggregated datasets and trained models) indefinitely.

6. DATA SECURITY

6.1 We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including encryption of data in transit, access controls, security monitoring, and regular security assessments.

6.2 No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

6.3 Communications transmitted through the Service are not end-to-end encrypted. You transmit Communications at your own risk.

7. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

7.1 Account Information

You may update or correct account information through the App. You may delete your account by contacting legal@bailar.site.

7.2 Location Data

Control location data through your device’s operating system settings.

7.3 Marketing Communications

Email: Opt out of promotional emails via unsubscribe links included in every marketing message. You will continue to receive transactional emails (booking confirmations, password resets, account notifications) as long as you have an active account.

Push notifications: Opt out through your device’s notification settings, or through the in-app notification preferences screen.

SMS / text messages: Bailar sends two categories of text messages, each with its own consent rules.

• Transactional SMS (one-time verification codes, two-factor authentication codes, account recovery codes, password reset codes, and other security-related messages) are sent only when you actively request them — for example, by tapping “send code” during sign-in. These messages are part of the Service and are not considered marketing communications.
• Marketing SMS (promotional offers, event recommendations, announcements, and other non-transactional messages) is opt-in only. We will not send you marketing texts unless you have explicitly consented by checking the “Yes, send me text message updates from Bailar” box during sign-up or in your account settings. By opting in, you consent to receive recurring automated promotional text messages at the phone number you provided. Consent is not a condition of purchase or account creation. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies.
• To stop marketing SMS: reply STOP to any marketing text message at any time, or disable the SMS marketing toggle in your account settings. Replying HELP to any Bailar text message will return contact information. Opting out of marketing SMS does not affect transactional SMS.

SMS communications are subject to the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the FCC’s rules on autodialed messages, and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions. Bailar does not share your phone number with unaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes.

7.4 Automated Processing

Certain automated processing is integral to the Service and cannot be opted out of while maintaining an active account. To stop processing, discontinue use and delete your account.

7.5 California Residents (CCPA)
