Safeguarding Personal Information
Sam has adopted policies and procedures designed to protect Your personal information from unauthorized use or disclosure. Sam has implemented physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to maintain confidentiality and integrity of the personal information in His possession and to guard against unauthorized access. These include, among other things, procedures for controlling access to customer files, building security programs and information technology security measures such as the use of passwords, firewalls, plus virus and use detection software. Sam continues to assess new technology as it becomes available and to upgrade His physical and electronic security systems as appropriate.
Information I Collect About You
Sam collects information about You to help Him serve Your needs; to provide You with quality products and services; and to fulfill legal and regulatory requirements. Sam considers all information about You in His possession to be confidential information, even if You cease to be a customer. He requires You to provide Your name, phone number, billing address, email address, and a payment card when You subscribe to His products and services. You willfully and knowingly submit all Your personal information via His website contact forms and within My Music Staff. Should Sam need to input Your personal information on Your behalf, You will have filled out a paper form with all the necessary information, signed and dated.
Sam uses My Music Staff and Stripe for all of His studio needs including, but not limited to, invoices, automated emails/texts, reminders, studio news/ announcements, storing payment information and storing all student information. Personal information is kept indefinitely after You cease using His services. You can at any time unsubscribe from His studio emails and alerts. Once You cease using Sam's services, You can at any time erase or remove Your personal information from His online database via Your portals. Paper forms, however, are kept 12 months after an individual ceases using His services. Sam also hosts a Facebook page, so if You want to participate in this, You must connect via Your Facebook account.
Sharing Information With Others
Sam shares personal information about You, as required or permitted by law, with third parties, such as service providers, who assist Him in the day-to-day operations of His organization. Sam requires third party service providers to enter into confidentiality agreements with Him, prohibiting them from using any personal information they obtain for any other purpose other than those for which they were retained or as required by law.
Sam may share Your information with a third party if He has a good-faith belief that sharing the information is necessary to comply with a law, regulation, or enforceable government request; to investigate potential violations or technical issues on His website or with His products or services; or to protect against harm to Him, His users, or His affiliates’ rights, property, safety, or to the public as permitted by law.
Your personal information is stored and shared with My Music Staff and Stripe. Please refer to My Music Staff's Privacy Policy and Terms And Conditions, as well as Stripe's Privacy Policy and Services Agreement for details on their policies and services.
Your California Privacy Rights (As provided by California Civil Code Section 1798.83)
A California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom they have established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes ("California customer") is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a California customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed. However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing customers' personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of their right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost free means to exercise that right.
Modifications to My Privacy Policy
Sam reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy or alter His privacy principles at His sole discretion without notice to You. Any alterations to this Privacy Policy or His privacy principles will be posted on His website in a timely manner.
Your continued participation on this website or in Our services indicates Your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and of the collection, use, disclosure, management and storage of Your personal information as described herein. Sam may, from time to time, transfer, or merge any personal information collected off-line to His online databases or store off-line information in an electronic format. He may also combine personal information He collect online with information available from other sources. Sam reserves the right to revise this policy at any time without advance notice to You. Such revisions shall be effective immediately upon posting. Therefore, He encourages You to check this Privacy Policy often.
