Privacy Policy
Musical Note Studio, LLC | www.musicalnotestudio.com
Musical Note Studio, LLC (“Musical Note Studio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates www.musicalnotestudio.com, including all pages and content related to our in-person piano, organ, and harp teaching studio as well as our online program, Music Theory: Cracking the Code. It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Musical Note Studio collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how visitors use our website. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate — for example, by publishing a report on general trends in website usage.
Musical Note Studio also collects potentially personally-identifying information, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, for visitors who leave blog comments or interact with our site in similar ways. We only disclose this information under the circumstances described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to our website choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. Examples include:
Studio families who submit a contact or lesson-inquiry form (name, email, phone number, and information about the prospective student).
Visitors who sign up for our Music Theory: Cracking the Code email list (name and email address, collected and managed through our email service provider, Kit).
Students or customers who enroll in lessons or purchase a course, workshop, or resource, which may require billing and payment information processed through a third-party payment provider.
In each case, we collect such information only as necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of your interaction with us. We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described in this policy, and you may always decline to provide personally-identifying information, with the understanding that it may prevent you from engaging in certain website-related activities, such as receiving a response to an inquiry or joining our email list.
Aggregated Statistics
Musical Note Studio may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. We may display this information publicly or provide it to others, but we do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described in this policy.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Musical Note Studio discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those employees, contractors, and service providers (such as our email marketing platform and payment processor) who need that information to perform services on our behalf and who have agreed not to disclose it to others. We will not rent or sell your personally-identifying information (including cell phone numbers for SMS/texting) to anyone, for marketing purposes or any other reason. Other than as described above, we disclose such information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our rights, the rights of third parties, or the public at large.
If you have provided your email address to us — whether through a studio contact form or the Music Theory: Cracking the Code email list — we may occasionally email you about new features, lessons, or offerings, or to keep you up to date on what’s happening at Musical Note Studio. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link provided in those emails. You may also unsubscribe

If Musical Note Studio, LLC, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Musical Note Studio goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such a transfer may occur, and that any acquirer may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal or tax obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and policies. Information you no longer wish us to retain may still be kept temporarily for record-keeping or legal purposes.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
International Data Transfers
Some of the third-party services we use — such as our email marketing platform or payment processor — may store or process information outside your country of residence. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information continues to be protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Photo & Video Consent
Consent for photographs and video of studio students is handled separately through our annual studio policies agreement, which each family reviews and signs. This Privacy Policy governs how we handle information collected through our website; it does not alter or replace the terms of that separate agreement.
