This Privacy Policy explains how SpinTurn Software Inc. ("SpinTurn", "we", "us", "our") handles personal information in connection with our SpinTurn DanceSuite apps — currently DanceTrainer and DanceTracker — and this website (spinturnsoftware.com). Other apps in the suite will be covered by their own policies as they are released. We design our software to collect as little personal information as possible: almost everything you create or import lives on your device and is never sent to us.
By default, the routines, moves, programs, practice logs, notes, and reference videos you create live on your device — not on our servers. We do not operate user accounts and we do not sync your app content to us. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information, and we do not use it for advertising or to build profiles about you.
SpinTurn has designated a person responsible for the protection of personal information (our Privacy Officer). You can reach our Privacy Officer with any question or request at privacy@spinturnsoftware.com.
In short, we collect very little. Here is everything:
Content you create in the apps. In DanceTrainer, your routines, programs, custom moves and exercises, practice logs and session timings, video-library entries, and local-music references are stored locally on your device. (Video and music files stay wherever they already are — the app stores only a reference plus the titles or notes you add.) In DanceTracker, the competition results it displays come from a competition database that is either bundled with the app or downloaded to your device; it is stored in the app's private storage and read locally. Your own settings — such as starred competitors and the labels you create — are stored on your device too. None of your DanceTracker data is transmitted to SpinTurn, and we cannot access it. You can view, edit, and delete it in the app, and uninstalling removes everything the app stored.
Music services (DanceTrainer). You can connect Spotify or YouTube Music to practise to your own music. When you sign in, the app holds that service's authentication token only while you are signed in and discards it when you log out. For YouTube Music, it reads your playlist and track details from Google's YouTube Data API using read-only access (the youtube.readonly scope); for Spotify, playback runs through the Spotify app already on your device, so we do not contact Spotify's servers ourselves. Album art and thumbnails load over HTTPS to display the player. Local music you pick stays on your device. Each service has its own privacy policy, linked from its sign-in screen in the app.
Health & activity data — Android Health Connect (DanceTrainer). DanceTrainer can import activity from Health Connect, but only when you explicitly choose to attach a session to a practice log. With your permission it reads — read-only — up to five metrics for that session: exercise-session details, steps, active calories, heart rate, and distance. These are stored on your device as simple totals inside that log. The app reads nothing in the background, never writes anything back to Health Connect, and never uploads, shares, or sells this data or uses it for advertising. You can unlink a log's health data in the app, or revoke any of the permissions at any time from the Health Connect app. A more detailed Health Connect disclosure is available inside the app.
Website analytics. On this website we use GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly analytics tool, to understand aggregate traffic such as which pages are visited. GoatCounter does not use cookies, does not track you across other websites, and does not build a personal profile of you. It records limited, non-identifying technical information — such as the page visited, the referring page, and general browser and device type. IP addresses are used only momentarily to derive an approximate country and a daily, non-identifying visitor count, and are not stored.
When you contact us. If you email us — for example at privacy@spinturnsoftware.com or for support — we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include. We use it only to respond and to keep a record of the correspondence.
App stores & purchases. Our apps are distributed through app stores such as Google Play. When you download or buy an app, the store processes the transaction and any payment details under its own privacy policy — SpinTurn does not receive your payment card information. The store may share limited aggregate or diagnostic information with us in accordance with its terms.
No analytics or tracking in the apps. The SpinTurn apps contain no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no advertising network, and no third-party SDK that profiles you. They do not collect device or advertising identifiers, and your data is never used to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models. Beyond the music services in DanceTrainer described above, the only network connection the apps make is DanceTracker downloading a competition database when one is not already bundled with the app — an ordinary web request that carries no personal information about you. The apps make no analytics, tracking, or telemetry calls. If this ever changes, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent first.
We use personal information only to:
We use personal information only for the purpose for which it was collected. If we ever wish to use it for a new purpose, we will ask for your consent first.
We rely on your consent to handle personal information for the purposes described above, which you give by using our apps and website, and which you may withdraw at any time. Because our website analytics use no cookies and do not identify you, they involve little or no personal information; where any applies, we rely on our legitimate interest in understanding aggregate site traffic. You can prevent analytics by enabling your browser's "Do Not Track" setting or by using a content blocker.
We do not sell or trade your personal information. We share it only with: (a) service providers that process information on our behalf and only on our instructions — currently GoatCounter for website analytics, and the app store(s) that distribute our apps; and (b) authorities or others where we are legally required to, or where necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property.
Some of our service providers may store or process information outside Québec, including outside Canada. For example, website analytics are processed by GoatCounter on its servers. Before entrusting personal information to a provider outside Québec, we assess whether the information will receive adequate protection. By using this website, you understand that limited, non-identifying analytics information may be processed outside Québec and Canada.
Content you create in the apps stays on your device until you delete it. Aggregate website analytics contain no personal profiles and are retained only for a limited period. Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle your request and to meet our legal obligations, then deleted.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information under our control against loss, theft, and unauthorized access. Because most app data stays on your device, protecting your device — with a screen lock, device encryption, and backups — is an important part of keeping that information safe.
Our apps are not directed at children under 13, and because the content you create stays on your device and is not collected by us, we do not knowingly receive personal information from children through the apps or this website. In Québec, we will not collect personal information from a minor under 14 without the consent of a person having parental authority, except where collection is clearly for the minor's benefit. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided us personal information (for example, by emailing us), please contact our Privacy Officer and we will delete it. Uninstalling an app removes everything it stored on the device.
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:
Because most of your app content lives only on your device, you can view, correct, and delete much of it directly in the app at any time; if you need a full export and the app does not yet offer one, email us and we will help. For anything we hold (such as email correspondence), contact our Privacy Officer at privacy@spinturnsoftware.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by law (generally 30 days).
If you have a privacy concern, please contact our Privacy Officer first — we want to make it right. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec (CAI) or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC).
If a confidentiality incident (data breach) involving your personal information occurs and poses a risk of serious injury, we will notify you and the appropriate authority — such as the CAI or OPC — as required by law, and we will keep a record of the incident.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, provide a more prominent notice. Continuing to use our apps or website after an update means you accept the revised policy.
