What information is collected? How is it used?

When you register, comment, or contact us on the LearningUkulele.com / Learning Ukulele with Curt website, we collect basic information such as your name and email. This information is similar to what you would find on a typical business card. However, it is important to note that you are not required to provide any personal information in order to use our website's services.

To track the number of visitors to our site, we utilize Plausible.io (an open source project dedicated to making web analytics more privacy-friendly). Please be aware that we do not gather any personal information or store IP addresses locally on our site. The tracking data is solely used to monitor page visits and country-level location. As a result, we are unable to track or identify individual users or their physical addresses. This tracking helps us determine which lessons, books, songs, etc., require updates or further attention.

For payment processing, any credit card information is securely handled by our eCommerce provider. We currently use stripe for all payment transactions. Stripe is a technology company that develops economic infrastructure for the internet. stripe software enables businesses of all sizes, ranging from startups to public companies, to accept payments and manage their online operations. stripe has offices in San Francisco, Dublin, London, Paris, Singapore, Tokyo, and other locations.

What we do with the data?

LearningUkulele.com only stores your name and email that you use when registering. This information is used by us to contact you to offer you services that you have expressed an interest in. We may contact you to offer these and related services. We do not share, outsource, offshore this information with anyone and only use it to contact you. You are free to opt-out of the emails at any time.

We deeply value your privacy and pledge not to sell or disclose this information to anyone unless required by law. Your personal data is treated with the utmost confidentiality and respect.

How do I protect customer information?

My eCommerce providers use a Secure Server for collecting personal and credit card information. The Secure Server Layer (SSL) encrypts (scrambles) all of the information you enter before it's transmitted over the Internet and sent to us. Furthermore, all of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized access.

Accounts and membership

If you create an account on the Website, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with it. We may, but have no obligation to, monitor and review new accounts before you may sign in and start using the Services. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security. We will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions. We may suspend, disable, or delete your account (or any part thereof) if we determine that you have violated any provision of this Agreement or that your conduct or content would tend to damage our reputation and goodwill. If we delete your account for the foregoing reasons, you may not re-register for our Services. We may block your email address and Internet protocol address to prevent further registration.

Billing and payments

You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. Where Services are offered on a free trial basis, payment may be required after the free trial period ends, and not when you enter your billing details (which may be required prior to the commencement of the free trial period). If auto-renewal is enabled for the Services you have subscribed for, you will be charged automatically in accordance with the term you selected. If, in our judgment, your purchase constitutes a high-risk transaction, we will require you to provide us with a copy of your valid government-issued photo identification, and possibly a copy of a recent bank statement for the credit or debit card used for the purchase. We reserve the right to change products and product pricing at any time. We also reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.
