The Website is the personal portfolio of Christy Curtis Buss, a choreographer, creative director and entrepreneur. It presents her career, creative work and contact information. It does not sell products, and you do not need an account to use it.
The Website is operated by Christy Curtis Buss personally. In this policy, "we," "us" and "our" refer to Christy Curtis Buss. "You" refers to anyone who visits the Website.

We collect this information only when you choose to fill out and submit the form. Please don't include sensitive personal information, such as financial, health or government ID details, in your message.
Website chat. The Website has a chat feature, shown as a chat button, that lets you leave a message. Chat messages are not answered live; they are read and answered later. If you use it, we receive whatever you choose to share, such as your message and any contact details you provide.
Email and phone. If you contact us by email or phone, we receive the information in your message or call.
3. How we use the information you submit

Contact form and chat submissions are used only to respond to inquiries. They are never added to marketing or mailing lists.
4. Hosting, analytics and cookies
Hosting. The Website is built and hosted on GoDaddy's Websites + Marketing platform. Messages submitted through the contact form and chat are delivered through GoDaddy's systems to our inbox and email. GoDaddy handles this information as our service provider and also under its own privacy policy.
What cookies are. Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work in a comparable way.
Cookies and similar technologies on this Website:
Your cookie choices. When you first visit, a notice lets you accept or decline cookies. The GoDaddy visitor analytics ID and stored ad-click identifiers described above stay off unless you click "Accept." If you click "Decline," they stay off. The notice does not control the GoDaddy platform cookies or YouTube's cookies. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, the Website's analytics is designed to treat it as a refusal. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; blocking essential cookies may affect how the Website works.
We don't currently use Google Analytics, Meta (Facebook) Pixel or other advertising-tracking pixels on the Website. If that changes, we will update this policy.
5. YouTube videos
The Website includes embedded YouTube videos of Christy's performance and choreography work. When a page with an embedded video loads, your browser connects to YouTube, which is owned by Google. YouTube may set its own cookies or collect information about your device and viewing activity, even if you don't play the video. Our cookie notice does not control YouTube's cookies. We don't control what YouTube collects; Google's Privacy Policy explains how it handles this information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
6. Google reCAPTCHA
The contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which helps tell real visitors apart from automated spam. reCAPTCHA collects information such as your device and browser details and how you interact with the page, and sends it to Google for analysis. Its use is subject to Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and Terms of Service (https://policies.google.com/terms).
7. Service providers and data sharing
We share information only as needed to run the Website and respond to you. The services involved are:
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or safety or the safety of others, or as part of a change in who operates the Website.
The Website links to outside sites, such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, X, Wikipedia and hedo.co. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and this policy doesn't cover them.
8. Data retention
We keep the information you send us only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, handle bookings and professional relationships that follow from it, keep legitimate records, and meet legal obligations. Cookie lifetimes are set by GoDaddy and Google, and you can clear cookies at any time in your browser.
9. Data security
We rely on the security measures of our service providers, and the Website uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. However, no website or email system is completely secure, and we can't guarantee the security of information sent over the internet.
10. Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live, privacy laws may give you rights over your personal information. These may include the right to:
These rights depend on your location and on whether a particular law applies to this Website, so we can't promise that every right listed applies in every case. To make a request, email christycbuss@yahoo.com. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it. We will respond within the time required by applicable law, and we won't treat you differently for making a privacy request. If you're in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
11. Visitors outside the United States
The Website is operated from the United States, and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. If you visit from outside the US, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries whose data protection laws may differ from those where you live.
12. Children's privacy
The Website is intended for a general adult audience. It isn't directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
