Privacy Policy

Information We Collect (Data Collection)

We collect the following categories of information:

• Contact and account information: Name, email address, phone number, and message content when you contact us via our contact form, email, or phone, or when you schedule or attend piano lessons.
• Cookies and similar technologies: Information stored in cookies and similar technologies when you visit our site, including preferences (e.g., your cookie consent choice), and data used for site operation and analytics. See our Cookie Policy for details.
• Device and usage data: Information about your device and how you use our site, such as IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, pages visited, referring URL, and approximate location (e.g., country or region). This data may be collected automatically when you visit our website.

We use this information to operate our website, respond to your inquiries, provide our services, improve our site, and as described in the sections below (including advertising where applicable).

Google Ads & Remarketing

We use third-party advertising providers, including Google (Google Ads), to display ads on our website and on other sites across the Internet. These providers may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites (e.g., pages viewed, time spent) in order to show you ads that may be relevant to your interests based on your past visits and browsing behavior. This practice is sometimes called "remarketing" or "retargeting."

Google may collect and process data as described in Google's Privacy Policy. We do not control the data collected by these third parties. By using our site, you consent to the use of such technologies by our advertising partners for the purposes described above.

Opt-Out (Advertising / Ad Personalization)

You can control how Google and other partners use your data for personalized advertising:

• Google Ads settings: To opt out of personalized ads from Google, or to manage your ad preferences, visit Google's Ad Settings page: https://adssettings.google.com/. There you can turn off ad personalization or adjust your preferences.
• Industry opt-out tools: You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) at https://optout.aboutads.info/ or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/.

Opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries, schedule and provide lessons, improve our website and services, comply with applicable law, and for other legitimate business purposes. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

CCPA – California Consumer Privacy Act (Rights of California Residents)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended (including by the CPRA), gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. We describe them below. These rights apply to California residents; residents of other U.S. states may have similar rights under their state's laws.

• Right to know: You have the right to request that we disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell or share (if any). You can request the categories and, where applicable, the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
• Right to delete: You have the right to request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions allowed by law (e.g., to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, comply with legal obligations).
• Right to correct: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
• Right to opt out of sale or sharing: We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising in a way that qualifies as a "sale" or "share" under the CCPA. If our practices change, we will update this policy and provide a clear way to opt out.
• Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights (e.g., we will not deny services or charge different prices solely because you requested deletion or opted out).

How to exercise your rights: To submit a request to know, delete, or correct your personal information, or to ask questions about our practices, contact us at cooperation@pluzarinzik.world, 111 Park Ave, Falls Church, VA 22046, United States, or call +1 (703) 534-4801. We will verify your identity as required by law and respond within the time period required by the CCPA (generally 45 days, with a possible extension). You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf; we will require proof of authorization.

For more information about the CCPA, visit the California Attorney General's website at oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information (CCPA / U.S. State Laws)

We do not sell personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or other U.S. state privacy laws. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change, we will update this policy and provide a way to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your information only (1) with service providers that help us operate our business (e.g., hosting, email delivery) under contract and only for the purposes we specify, (2) when required by law or to protect our rights, or (3) with your consent. We do not sell or rent your personal information.
