What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided 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.

Media

If you upload images or video to the Teacher Training Forum, please be aware that if you do not remove embedded location data (EXIF GPS), visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from your images or videos.

Contact forms

First, we want to assure you that we never have, and we never will sell any of the information you enter on our contact pages.  We ask you for your name so we know what to call you.  We ask you for your email address so we can respond to you, and for your telephone number in case we cannot reach you by email.  We ask for your location in case you are looking for a teacher in your area.  If you are writing to register for a Well-Balance Pianist program, we will also ask you for information we need to ensure that we are well prepared to teach you, and feed and house you if those are options.  If you are writing to request online lessons, we ask you for information that will ensure we can provide them to you.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

Embedded content from other websites

Be aware that anything someone posts from another website (embedded content) may include its own embedded content that behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Analytics

Who we share your data with

We do not share your data with anyone. 

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

We also store the personal information users who register on the Teacher Training Forum provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time with one exception: they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or 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 purposes.

Where we send your data

We do not send your data anywhere.

Your contact information

If you write to us to promote your business, we will delete your message along with your contact information.  If you write to ask about piano training, we will put your name on our distribution lists to receive information about upcoming Well-Balanced Pianist programs.  You will receive one to five messages from us per year, and can easily unsubscribe.
