How Data is Being Collected: Information you Provide to MacPhail

Registration/Enrollment/Creating an Account
It is expected that information shared with MacPhail during enrollment is given with the consent of a parent or guardian. MacPhail does not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18 without the consent of a parent or guardian.

Once enrolled, MacPhail collects a student’s personal information for the purposes of music education. This information is used to keep you informed about events and activities at MacPhail and to offer you the benefits and features offered with enrollment.

Information collected for enrolled students includes names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, gender and date of birth. Payer information is also collected. Further, academic and financial information provided by you may be collected and maintained to provide financial aid and/or scholarships.

Student records are kept permanently.

Tuition and Payments
MacPhail utilizes third-party companies for electronic payments and donations. Please see the third-party’s security policies for details on how they collect and utilize any data they may collect.

Information Collected by Web Beacons and Pixels.
We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons, pixels (or “clear gifs”) and other tracking technologies. Pixels are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Site. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of visitors from one page within our Site to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to serve targeted advertisements to you and others like you, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns.

Use of Aggregated Information.
We may use information gathered through our Site to create a compiled, aggregate view of our Site’ audiences and usage patterns. We use aggregated information to operate our programs and to better understand our visitors as we develop new programs and services. We may also share aggregated information with our third-party service providers so they can better understand and/or market to our audience.

Embedded content and links from other websites
This site contains links to other websites. Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These other websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We encourage all our partners, contributors, and third parties to implement policies and practices that respect the privacy of our users. However, MacPhail is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such websites.

Third Pary Data Practices and Collection

If you don’t want your name and/or contact information to be used in the manner described in this Policy, you may indicate this at the time you provide the information. If an “opt-out” option is not offered, or you decide after you have provided this information that you do not want us to share your information with us or our third parties, you may also notify us at [email protected] We cannot, however, remove your name from any third-party list; you will have to contact them directly.

Marketing Emails
The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) offers a Mail Preference Service that is designed to assist consumers in decreasing the amount of nonprofit or commercial mail they receive at home. For more information about this service, visit the DMA website.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track Mechanisms. Because of the changing state of technology and indecision within the industry regarding the meaning of Do Not Track requests, we currently do not make any guarantee that we will honor Do Not Track requests.

Media Permissions

MacPhail reserves the right to use photos taken during lessons, classes and events. These photos may be used in brochures, advertising or for public relations purposes. Photographs featuring registered students are considered eligible for publication or public use unless the students (or parent/guardian of students under 18) submit a request for non-use in writing to the Student Services Center prior to the date when the photograph appears. Every effort will be made to accommodate students’ requests.

It is important to MacPhail to protect the privacy of young children who may use our website. Our Site is not intended for children or minors under the age of thirteen years without the permission of a parent or guardian. Parents or legal guardians of a child under the age of 13 must complete the student placement form and consent to the submission of request for placement at MacPhail.
