Thank you for visiting The Ultimate NY Dance Project's Web site. Your privacy is important to us. We have a firm commitment to your privacy. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used on this site. The policies outlined herein pertain to the NYDanceProject.com Web site and has been approved by the United Vision Pictures Web Department (UVPW).

UVPW has taken considerable precautions to ensure security for our online visitors. However, since data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure, we cannot ensure the absolute security of the information that you transmit or provide to us. But sensitive information, like application data and messages to our support center, are handled within our very secure subdomain https://member.nydanceproject.com. We own therefore the Turbo SSL® Certificate. Further information regarding this data protection can be found under "Database Transfers."

This online privacy statement explains how we handle information we may learn about you from your visit to our Web site. It is intended to inform you of the ways in which this site collects information, how that information may be used, and the ways in which we protect any information that you voluntarily provide to us.

There are five types of information that this site may collect during your visit: Database Transfers, Web visit logs, network traffic logs, cookies, and information that you have voluntarily provided.

Database Transfers -- There are two different places where you can submit information to our databases: 1) The Member Application Form (https://member.nydanceproject.com/) and 2) Support Team Messages (https://member.nydanceproject.com/support.php). Database Transfers within this subdomain have 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. And on the other side, only members of the Member Administration System (AMS) and the Admissions Office have access to your data.

Web Visit Logs -- Logs are kept of the I.P. (Internet Protocol) address and country of the computer visiting the site; the page visited; the type of browser used; and the operating system of the computer. Personally identifiable information such as individuals' names, addresses, or phone numbers do not appear in the Web Visit Logs.

Network Traffic Logs -- Logs are kept of network traffic within the UVPW network. These logs are never made available to any party outside the Web Department.

Cookies -- A cookie is a small amount of data that a Web site uses to identify whether a browser has visited it recently. The Web site deposits that data into a browser during a visit and in a subsequent visit attempts to retrieve it. No Web site can read another Web site's cookies. Some UVPW sites set cookies in the browser. Cookies need to be enabled in your browser security settings in order to allow the full and proper functioning of these Web sites. These cookies originate on the Web server and may contain personal information existing on the Web server. For example, if you have provided your zip code to a Web site at any point, it could be made part of a cookie. No other Web server can access these cookies; only the server by which they were set has access to them.

Sharing Information Voluntarily Provided by You -- UVPW occasionally shares aggregated demographic information with partners and vendors. An example of such information sharing would be through a report giving statistics concerning the geographical distribution of persons requesting information from UVP. The information is abstracted from the data and is presented in a generalized fashion that does not reveal the individual identities of the people behind the statistical profile. Whenever UVP partners with outside vendors provide specific services for The Ultimate NY Dance Project, our agreements with those parties prohibit them from using personally identifiable information about you.

When you sign up for a mailing list or make a contribution from this Web site, UVPW will use information provided in order to contact you about activities of The Ultimate NY Dance Project. Should you decide that you prefer that your information not be used for these purposes, you may notify us of your preference by writing to us at support@nydanceproject.com, and we will honor your request.
