How Eight Count handles your data

Eight Count is currently in beta and designed for adult dancers — college and conservatory programs, professional companies, and adult studios. Account creation is limited to users 18 or older.

Why? Online services that allow younger users have to meet specific standards (COPPA in the US, similar regulations in other regions) around data collection, parental consent, and content moderation. We're committed to meeting those standards before we open the product to younger dancers — but we're not there yet, and we'd rather wait than ship something we can't safely support.

On the roadmap: parental access, age-appropriate sign-up flows, and the safeguards K–12 programs need.

• Account info — your email, display name, and profile image. These come from Clerk, our authentication provider.
• Team content — team and project names, rehearsal sessions, the notes you write (text or voice), the audience you assign each note to, and each recipient's status on each note.
• Media — rehearsal videos and voice recordings you upload, stored privately in Google Cloud Storage buckets.
• Activity — timestamps of when notes are created, edited, and addressed. Used to power features like the “Notes by me” dashboard and stalled-note detection.

• We won't sell your data to third parties.
• We won't use your rehearsal videos or voice recordings to train AI models.
• We won't show your team's content to anyone outside the team you invited them to.

Eight Count may eventually train internal features on anonymized notes and assignment activity (for example, predicting which notes are likely to stall, or surfacing patterns in how feedback flows through a rehearsal). If we do, we'll announce it before shipping, tell you what's used, and update this policy.

Videos are excluded. Rehearsal videos and voice recordings are never part of any model training, current or future.

Each team is its own private workspace. Within a team, every member sees every team member's notes in their rehearsals — the role differences are about who can write, not who can read.

My notes is yours alone. The “My notes” inbox shows notes assigned to you and is visible only to you — not to your instructor, not to other dancers. (Authors see notes they've sent, including your status updates, on their own “Notes by me” page.)

Pending invitations (the email and assigned role of an invitee who hasn't accepted yet) are visible only to team admins.

Across teams — nothing crosses team boundaries. Being on Team A gives you no visibility into Team B, even if some members of A are also in B.

Each vendor below receives only the data needed to perform its function. We pick infrastructure providers with established compliance postures and link to their privacy notices so you can verify their handling for yourself.

• Clerk handles authentication and account storage (email, name, profile image, password hashes, OAuth connections). Clerk privacy policy.
• Google Cloud Storage stores rehearsal videos and voice recordings in private buckets. Stored content is not used by Google to train its own models — see Google Cloud Privacy Notice.
• Neon hosts our PostgreSQL database (everything that isn't media — team data, projects, rehearsals, notes, assignments, invitations). Neon privacy policy.
• Resend delivers team-invitation emails. The recipient's email address and the inviter's name are passed to Resend for the duration of sending. Resend privacy policy.

You can change your name, email, and profile image at any time through your account settings (Clerk).

To delete your Eight Count account and the team content you own, or to request a copy of your data, contact us at lgomez00714@gmail.com. We're a small team in beta — please give us up to 14 days to action requests.

We're building user-initiated deletion and export flows into the product directly; until those ship, the email path above is the working channel.
