Privacy Policy

1.1 This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how DoBeDoUs (“the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects personal information when you access or use the DoBeDoUs platform, website, mobile or web features, communications, booking tools, payment flows, instructor tools, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).

1.2 The Platform enables independent instructors (“Instructors”) to list and offer recreational classes, workshops, and experiences (“Services”), and enables users (“Students” or “Buyers”) to discover, book, review, and pay for those Services. Instructors and Students are together referred to as “Users” in this Policy.

1.3 This Policy is incorporated into and should be read together with our Terms and Conditions of Use. Capitalized terms not defined in this Policy have the meanings given to them in the Terms.

1.4 By accessing or using the Platform, creating an account, booking a Service, listing a Service, submitting content, communicating with us, or otherwise providing personal information to us, you acknowledge that we process personal information as described in this Policy.

1.5 If you do not agree with this Policy, you should not use the Platform.

1.6 This Policy is intended to describe our general privacy practices. Certain jurisdictions may provide additional privacy rights, which are described in Sections 19 through 23.

2.1 This Policy applies to personal information we collect through the Platform, through communications with Users, through Instructor onboarding, through booking and payment flows, through reviews and User Content, through marketing and analytics technologies, and through in-person or online Hosted Events organized by the Company.

2.2 This Policy does not apply to websites, applications, services, payment processors, venues, instructors, advertisers, analytics providers, social media platforms, or other third parties that we do not own or control, except to the extent we describe our sharing with them.

2.3 Instructors are independent service providers. When an Instructor receives Student information to deliver a Service, the Instructor may have separate legal obligations. Instructors must use Student information only as permitted by the Terms, this Policy, and applicable law.

2.4 The Platform is intended for users in the United States unless otherwise stated. If you access the Platform from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

3.1 “Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked to an individual or household, depending on applicable law.

3.2 We collect personal information directly from Users, automatically through the Platform, from service providers, from payment processors, from analytics and advertising partners, from communication tools, from public sources, and from other Users when they interact with the Platform.

3.3 We collect only information that we reasonably need to operate, secure, improve, personalize, market, and support the Platform; process bookings and payments; communicate with Users; comply with legal obligations; and enforce our Terms.

3.4 You may choose not to provide certain information, but doing so may prevent you from creating an account, booking a Service, listing a Service, receiving support, receiving payouts, or using certain Platform features.

4.1 Identifiers: We may collect your name, email address, phone number, account username, password or authentication credentials, mailing address, billing address, profile photo, online identifiers, device identifiers, IP address, and similar identifiers.

4.2 Account information: We may collect account registration details, login records, account preferences, saved classes, booking history, account status, support history, and communications preferences.

4.3 Student information: We may collect information needed to book and attend Services, including attendee names, age confirmations, parent or guardian information for minors, emergency or safety-related information voluntarily provided, accessibility or accommodation requests, class preferences, attendance information, and communications with Instructors or the Company.

4.4 Instructor information: We may collect Instructor profile information, biography, teaching background, qualifications, credentials, licenses, certifications, insurance information, tax information, payout information, business information, class listings, venue information, availability, pricing, photos, videos, and other information submitted for Instructor onboarding or listings.

4.6 Payment information: Payments are processed by third-party payment processors such as Stripe. We may receive limited payment-related information such as transaction identifiers, payment status, last four digits of a payment card, billing address, processor fees, fraud signals, and payout status. We do not store full credit card numbers.

4.11 Location information: We may collect approximate location information derived from your IP address and information you provide about class locations, venues, service areas, billing addresses, or mailing addresses. We do not intentionally collect precise geolocation unless a Platform feature expressly requests it and you permit it.

4.12 Sensitive information: We may collect limited sensitive personal information only when necessary or voluntarily provided, such as account login credentials, payment-related information handled by processors, tax information for Instructors, disability or accommodation requests, allergy or safety information, information about minors provided by a parent or guardian, or emergency-related information. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics except as permitted by law or with consent.

4.13 Inferences: We may generate inferences about preferences, interests, likely class interests, marketing segments, platform usage patterns, or fraud and safety risks based on your activity and information.

4.14 Publicly available information: We may collect information from public sources, social media profiles, business websites, public instructor portfolios, public reviews, or other sources where the information is lawfully available.

5.1 Students may provide personal information when browsing Services, booking a Service, creating or accessing an account, saving favorites, requesting support, submitting a review, communicating with an Instructor, attending a Service, participating in a Hosted Event, or opting into marketing communications.

When a Student completes a booking, information provided at checkout may also be used to create and maintain a customer account or customer record associated with the booking. This allows us to manage bookings, transaction history, communications, customer support, and applicable Platform features and promotions.

5.2 Student booking information may be shared with the relevant Instructor to allow the Instructor to prepare for and deliver the Service, communicate about the booking, manage attendance, address safety or accessibility needs, and comply with applicable law.

5.3 Students should avoid submitting medical, health, disability, allergy, or emergency information unless it is necessary for safe participation or accommodation. If a Student provides such information, we and the relevant Instructor may use it to support the requested Service, accommodation, safety need, or legal obligation.

5.4 A parent or legal guardian who books for a minor is responsible for providing accurate information, obtaining any required consent, and determining that the Service is appropriate for the minor.

6.1 Instructors may provide personal information when applying to list Services, creating an Instructor account, building an Instructor profile, submitting listings, communicating with Students, receiving payouts, providing tax documentation, submitting proof of insurance, participating in reviews, or receiving support.

6.2 Instructor profile information and listing information may be publicly displayed on the Platform and may be used in marketing materials, search results, social media posts, advertisements, and other promotional channels as permitted by the Terms.

6.3 Instructor payout, tax, identity, insurance, and compliance information may be shared with payment processors, tax reporting providers, verification providers, insurance or venue partners, professional advisors, government authorities, and other service providers as reasonably necessary.

6.4 Instructors must not upload or disclose Student personal information outside the Platform except as necessary to provide the booked Service, comply with law, respond to safety issues, or as otherwise permitted by the Company in writing.

7.1 User Content may be visible to other Users, search engines, social media platforms, advertising platforms, and the public depending on where it is submitted and how the Platform displays it.

7.2 Reviews, ratings, public profile information, listings, class descriptions, Instructor biographies, and certain photos or videos may remain visible even after an account is modified, suspended, or terminated, unless removal is required by law or approved by the Company.

7.3 We may use User Content, including photos and videos, to operate, improve, promote, and market the Platform as described in the Terms.

7.4 Users may opt out of having their User Content used for marketing purposes, excluding use necessary for Platform operation and excluding content already in use at the time of the request, by contacting support@dobedous.com.

7.5 If you submit content containing another person’s personal information, image, likeness, voice, or other identifying information, you represent that you have all required rights, permissions, and consents to submit and authorize use of that content.

8.1 When you use the Platform, we and our service providers may automatically collect device, browser, usage, and network activity information through cookies, pixels, tags, SDKs, log files, local storage, and similar technologies.

8.2 Automatically collected information helps us keep the Platform secure, remember preferences, measure performance, understand usage, debug errors, prevent fraud, analyze marketing campaigns, personalize content, and deliver or measure advertising.

8.3 We may use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Search Console, Facebook Pixel, Meta Ads, and similar tools to analyze traffic, measure conversions, optimize advertisements, and improve Platform performance.

8.4 These tools may collect information such as IP address, device identifiers, browser details, pages visited, time spent on pages, referring websites, interactions, and actions taken on the Platform.

8.5 Information collected through third-party analytics and advertising tools may be processed by those providers according to their own privacy terms, settings, and policies.

9.1 Cookies are small files placed on your browser or device. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, scripts, and software development kits.

9.2 The Platform includes a cookie consent banner and a cookie preferences modal. The banner explains that we use essential cookies to keep the site running smoothly and securely and that, with your permission, we may use additional cookies to improve your experience.

9.3 You may open the cookie preferences modal from the website by selecting “Learn More,” “Customize,” or a footer/menu link labeled “Cookie Preferences.” Where supported by the page template, the modal link is Cookie Preferences.

9.4 The cookie preferences modal is titled “Customize Cookies” and allows you to review and control cookie categories before confirming your choices.

9.5 Essential cookies are always active and cannot be disabled through the cookie preferences modal because they are required for core Platform features, including logging in, booking classes, checkout, payment-related workflows, account security, fraud prevention, remembering privacy choices, and keeping the Platform secure.

9.6 Analytics cookies help us understand how people use DoBeDoUs so we can improve the experience. These cookies may support traffic measurement, page performance, feature usage analysis, error review, campaign measurement, and product improvement.

9.7 Preferences cookies remember your settings and choices to make your experience more convenient. These cookies may help preserve interface choices, cookie preferences, session-related settings, and other convenience features.

9.9 The current website controls include “Reject Non-Essential,” “Accept All,” and “Confirm My Choices.” If you select “Accept All,” all available categories are enabled. If you select “Reject Non-Essential,” only essential cookies remain enabled. If you customize your settings, your selected categories are saved.

9.10 We store your cookie preference in a cookie named “du_cookie_consent.” That cookie stores a JSON record containing the consent version, your choice type, the categories enabled or disabled, and a timestamp.

9.11 The default cookie consent retention period is 180 days unless changed in our site settings or required by law. If the consent period expires, if the consent version changes, or if no valid consent record exists, the Platform may ask you to make cookie choices again.

9.12 The cookie consent cookie is set for the Platform path, uses SameSite=Lax, and is marked Secure when the Platform is served over HTTPS.

9.13 The cookie banner may appear automatically after a short delay where enabled. The current implementation supports front-page display, sitewide display, or manual-only display depending on site settings. The banner is not shown on certain checkout form contexts where the site footer is intentionally omitted, but essential cookies and payment-related technologies may still be required to complete transactions.

9.14 We only use non-essential cookie categories with your permission where consent is required. You may change your choices later by reopening Cookie Preferences from the website, using available cookie controls, clearing your browser cookies, or contacting us.

9.15 You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, device settings, available cookie tools, or legally required opt-out mechanisms. Disabling certain cookies may limit Platform functionality.

9.16 We may recognize browser-based opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, where required by applicable law and where technically feasible.

9.17 Clearing cookies, using a different browser or device, using private browsing, or blocking cookies may remove or prevent access to your saved cookie preferences, which may require you to make choices again.
