Editing Policy:Privacy Policy (section)

==Introduction==
===Welcome=== 
Kid Dancers Wiki was founded on a simple goal, to give competition kids a platform where they or others could post contest results, upload photos and videos of their dances and document their success as dancers and many more. We cannot work collectively without gathering, sharing, and analyzing information about our users as we seek new ways to make Kid Dancers Wiki more usable, safer, and more beneficial.

We believe that information-gathering and use should go hand-in-hand with transparency. This Privacy Policy explains how Kid Dancers Wiki collects, uses, and shares information we receive from you through your use of Kid Dancers Wiki. It is essential to understand that when you use Kid Dancers Wiki, we collect, transfer, process, store, disclose, and use your information as described in this Privacy Policy. That means that reading this Policy carefully is important.

We believe that you should not have to provide nonpublic Personal Information to participate in the free knowledge movement. You do not have to provide things like your real name, address, or date of birth to sign up for a standard account or contribute content to Kid Dancers Wiki.

We do not sell or rent your Personal Information, nor do we give it to others to sell you anything. We use it to figure out how to make Kid Dancers Wiki more engaging and accessible, to see which ideas work, and to make learning and contributing more fun. Put simply: we use this information to make Kid Dancers Wiki better for you.

After all, it is people like you, the champions of free knowledge, who make it possible for Kid Dancers Wiki to not only exist, but also grow and thrive.
