Privacy Policy

Introduction

Dr. Michael Guida's Piano Studio ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or engage with our piano instruction services.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Contact Information: Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address when you contact us or inquire about lessons, whether through our website, by phone, or through a lead form on a social media or advertising platform such as Facebook or Instagram.
• Student Information: Age, skill level, musical background, and lesson preferences for enrolled students.
• Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our website, including IP address, browser type, and pages visited.

Social Media and Advertising Forms

We sometimes advertise on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, and you may choose to submit your contact information through a lead form hosted on those platforms. When you do, the platform collects that information under its own privacy policy and provides it to us so we can follow up with you about lessons. We then use and protect that information the same way we handle any other inquiry described in this policy, and we do not sell or share it.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide information about our piano lessons
• Schedule and manage piano lessons
• Communicate with students and parents about lesson schedules, recitals, and events
• Improve our website and services
• Send occasional updates about our studio (you may opt out at any time)

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

• With analytics and advertising providers (such as Google and Meta) that help us measure site traffic and promote our studio, as described under Cookies and Tracking below
• With your explicit consent
• To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests
• To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our students

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity, to understand how visitors use the site, measure the performance of our advertising, and improve your experience. These tools may collect information such as the pages you view, links you click, your approximate location, and device or browser details, and they may set cookies in your browser. When you submit a form, we may also share limited details, such as a securely hashed (non-readable) version of your email or phone number, with Meta to measure and improve our advertising; this is not shared for Meta's own independent purposes.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. To learn how these providers handle data, please review the privacy policies of Google and Meta.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of marketing communications

Children's Privacy

We provide piano lessons to students of all ages, including minors. When collecting information from minors, we require parental or guardian consent. Parents have the right to review and request deletion of their child's information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
