2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it by booking a lesson, submitting a contact form, or making a purchase. This may include:

• Your name and the name of the student (if booking for a child)
• Email address — used to send booking confirmations and reminders
• Phone number — used to confirm appointments and follow up on inquiries
• Home address — only if you request in-home lessons, and only used to coordinate scheduling
• Payment information — processed securely by Shopify and/or Stripe; we never see or store your full card details

When you visit this website, Shopify may automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This data is collected by Shopify's platform and governed by Shopify's Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide solely to:

• Confirm and manage your lesson bookings
• Send appointment reminders and follow-up communications
• Process payments for lessons, alterations, or gift certificates
• Respond to questions or inquiries you send us

We do not use your information for marketing without your consent, and we do not share it with third parties for advertising purposes.

4. Booking & Scheduling (Calendly)

Online lesson bookings are processed through Calendly, a third-party scheduling service. When you book a lesson using our online calendar, Calendly collects your name, email address, and any notes you include. Calendly's use of your data is governed by Calendly's Privacy Policy.

We receive your booking details so we can confirm and prepare for your lesson. We do not share this information with any other parties.

Cash and check payments are made in person at the time of service. For details on how online payment data is handled, see Shopify's Privacy Policy.
