Privacy Policy

Introduction

PianoGuide’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, PianoGuide collects non-personally-identifying information typically made available by web browsers and servers, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. PianoGuide’s purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how visitors use its website. From time to time, PianoGuide may release non-personally-identifying information in aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on website usage trends.

PianoGuide also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on PianoGuide.co.uk. This information is disclosed under the same circumstances as personally-identifying information, as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to PianoGuide’s websites choose to interact with PianoGuide in ways that require PianoGuide to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that PianoGuide gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at PianoGuide.co.uk to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with PianoGuide are asked to provide additional information, including the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, PianoGuide collects such information only insofar as necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with PianoGuide. PianoGuide does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below, and visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

PianoGuide collects statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites via Google Analytics. PianoGuide may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, PianoGuide does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

PianoGuide discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information to process it on PianoGuide’s behalf or to provide services available at PianoGuide’s websites, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using PianoGuide’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. PianoGuide will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, PianoGuide discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental requests, or when PianoGuide believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of PianoGuide, third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a PianoGuide website and have supplied your email address, PianoGuide may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with PianoGuide and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. PianoGuide takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Business Transfers

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