Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection.
We may provide an anonymized string created from your email address to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact Forms
When you use the contact form on our website to inquire about lessons, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, email address, and phone number, as well as the contents of your message. We use this information solely to communicate with you, respond to your inquiry, and to schedule or provide lessons. We do not use this information for marketing purposes unless you explicitly consent.
Media
If you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, we will set a cookie to save your name, email address, and website for your convenience. This way, you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We share your data with certain third-party services that help us operate and improve our website. These include:
- Gravatar for displaying user avatars in the comments section.
- Google Analytics for website traffic analysis.
- Automated Spam Detection Services to screen for spam comments.
- Content Providers (e.g., YouTube) when you interact with embedded content on our site.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, we retain the comment and its metadata indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website. This service collects data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This data is used in an anonymized form to analyze website traffic and improve our site. Google’s privacy policy can be viewed here: Google’s privacy policy.
