Privacy Policy

My site's privacy policy is below. Please read it thoroughly.

 

Collection of Information

As of now, I do not collect personal information, except that which you voluntarily provide when you make a purchase (using PayPal or other payment method), or when you contact me via the "Contact" page, or in the event you wish to qualify for educational pricing (see "Education Pricing"). Because this site uses a third party for payments (PayPal), I urge you to read PayPal's Privacy Policy for additional details on what information they collect.  I will only have access to information that PayPal gives me in this context.

 

This site is set up using Wix. I therefore disclaim and deny any responsibility over what Wix may or may not do when you are visiting my site.  To that end, I am including Wix's Privacy Policy clause on the matter:

 

"In addition, we or our third party partners may collect and store certain information from your browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data (a small file, with typical content of letters and numbers) stored or downloaded on a user's computer or other device that can be tied to information about the browser’s activities on our website. Our cookies allow us to provide certain features of Wix.  For example, among other things, we use cookies to keep track of your preferences, conduct support and debugging, understand the duration of user’s session, authenticated session for our Answers system, save from which country users are using the Website, including for E-commerce applications and mobile editors, and to estimate and report our total audience size and traffic. Wix also uses cookies to improve the content and services it provides to its users. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID and password to make it easier for you to login when you come back to Wix.

 

If you want to delete or block any cookies, please refer to the help and support area  on your internet browser for instructions on how to locate the file or directory that stores cookies.. Information on deleting or controlling cookies is also available at www.AboutCookie.org. Please note that by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Website.

 

We or our third party advertising partners may employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us improve our site, for example to better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We may tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ personal information if you choose to provide such information to us.

 

We use local shared objects, also known as Flash cookies, to store your preferences or display content based upon what you view on our site to personalize your visit. Third parties, with whom we partner to provide certain features on our site or to display advertising based upon your Web browsing activity, also use Flash cookies to collect and store information. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies because of the amount of data, type of data, and how data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn about privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies that may be available, you can click here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html#117118.  Please note that Wix does not provide this information and is not responsible for its accuracy.

 

Our third-party partners may have their own policies regarding how they collect and store information through the technologies discussed above.  Specifically, the use of cookies by our tracking utility company is not covered by our privacy policy and we do not have access or control over these cookies."

This site is monitored by Google Analytics. Please be advised that Google may set cookies or collect other information

 

Education Pricing

Verifiable proof must be submitted before you can qualify for educational pricing.  Acceptable proof includes an email from a .edu address, a picture of a student ID (or in the case of a teacher, Faculty ID), a class schedule, letter of enrollment, institutional business card (for staff members), or a regisration receipt.  This information is collected and held indefinitely on file unless a written request is submitted to have it removed.  If the information is deleted or not allowed to remain on file, proof will be required each time education pricing is sought.

 

Since no one under high school age is allowed educational pricing, no child (under the age of 13) will have their information collected for this purpose.  High school students, if under the age of majority in their respective country, must submit proof of parental consent in addition to their academic proof.  Parental consent in this context means that the parent gives permission for the educational proof to be submitted.  If parental consent is not granted, then the request for academic pricing is denied and the academic documentation deleted immediately upon receipt.

 

 

Disclaimer Regarding Information Collection/Distribution

In the event that personal information is collected, I reserve the right to disclose your personally identifying information when legally required and when the information is relevant for the protection of my rights, including but not limited to compliance to a legal process or court order served to me or my website.  This includes but is not limited to invoices and receipts of your purchases.

 

Sharing Your Information and Content with Third Parties

I will not share your information with any Third Parties except as expressly stated above.  I respect your privacy perhaps more than I respect/value my own.  However, I am, as I have stated before, not responsible for any information PayPal or Wix will collect while you are visiting my site.

 

 

Other Links

My website contains links to other websites. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. I would encourage you to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such linked third-party websites.  The links are provided on this website "as is" and "as available" and are subject to change.

 

Do Not Track Requests

While I would love to honor these, it would appear that Wix and Paypal both do not.  Therefore, I cannot, for I have no power over the matter.

 

Minors Including Children Under 13

As a composer, I acknowledge the possibility that children will seek to commission music for their YouTube channels, purchase music directly (in the form of a score, or otherwise), or otherwise contact me.  In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), children under 13 wishing to make such a purchase must first secure verifiable parental permission.  The child or the parent (on behalf of the child) must provide written confirmation that it was indeed authorized.

 

It is recommended that any business (or the financial aspect of it) that needs to be taken care of is done by a parent or guardian in the first place so the work may be completed in a timely manner.  It is also recommended that a parent reviews this Privacy Policy with their child before making any purchase.
