1. Overview & Commitment

Welcome to 88 Keys Music Studio("we," "our," or "us"). We operate the website and academy services located at Guniyal Gaon, Purkul Road, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. We are deeply committed to protecting the privacy, confidentiality, and personal data of our students, parents, visitors, and community members.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit our website, enroll in music or dance lessons, book trial sessions or consultations, submit inquiries, or interact with our academy staff.

Automated Technical Data

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal data collected via our website and studio administration strictly for legitimate academic and administrative purposes:

  • Lesson Delivery & Scheduling: Managing class schedules, instructor assignments, attendance tracking, and studio room reservations.
  • Examination Registration: Facilitating candidate entry for Trinity College London, Rockschool, or Cambridge Music grade exams upon student/parent request.
  • Recitals & Events: Coordinating participation in our annual concerts, student recitals, jam band sessions, and workshops.
  • Important Studio Updates: Sending critical schedule changes, holiday announcements, billing receipts, and emergency alerts.
  • Security & Spam Prevention: Protecting our contact forms and inquiry channels against abuse via Google reCAPTCHA.

4. Minor Safety & Children's Privacy

As a music academy offering programs for young learners (ages 5 and above), protecting children's privacy is of paramount importance to us.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 18 without verified parental or legal guardian consent. All enrollment forms, consultation bookings, and communication regarding minors must be initiated by a parent or guardian.

Recital photographs and video recordings featuring students are captured during public performances and studio events only with prior parental media consent. Parents may opt out of promotional photography at any time by notifying studio administration in writing.

5. Information Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, trade, or monetize your personal data to third parties. We only share information with trusted service providers under strict confidentiality agreements:

  • Examination Boards: Trinity College London, Rockschool (RSL Awards), and associated exam bodies solely for examination registration.
  • Infrastructure & Security Providers: Secure cloud hosting, encrypted database providers, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot mitigation.
  • Legal Compliance: When required by Indian law, court order, or governmental authorities to protect the safety and rights of our students and staff.

6. Data Security & Retention

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

Student records are retained only for the duration of active enrollment plus the necessary statutory period required for tax, accounting, and grade certification verification. When data is no longer needed, it is securely destroyed or anonymized.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Under applicable Indian data protection guidelines, you have the right to:

Access & Review

Request a copy of your stored personal details.
