Information we collect

We offer access to resources that do not require you to register for an account or provide any personal information to us. In order to provide our full range of services, we may collect the following types of information:

  • Information you provide - When you sign up for a MusicStaff.com account, we ask you for personal information (such as your name, email address and an account password). For certain services, such as our teacher listing service, we also request credit card or other payment account information which we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers.
  • Cookies - When you visit MusicStaff.com, we send one or more cookies - a small file containing a string of characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user trends, such as how people search. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some MusicStaff.com features and services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.
  • Log information - When you visit MusicStaff.com, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
  • User communications - When you send email or other communication to MusicStaff.com, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.

Choices for personal information

When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration, we ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.

If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.

You can decline to submit personal information to any of our services, in which case MusicStaff.com may not be able to provide those services to you.

Information Usage

MusicStaff.com only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of MusicStaff.com in the following limited circumstances:

  • We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information.
  • In order to deliver integrated services through third-parties as part of the MusicStaff.com experience, we may need to transmit personal information to the third-party service company. In this case, we will ensure that the third-party company whose service we are utilizing has a privacy policy that limits the use of your personal information.
  • The MusicStaff.com affiliate or custom locator service. MusicStaff.com has an affiliate program through which your teaching profile may be displayed on third-party sites.

If MusicStaff.com becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users who searched for a particular instrument, for example, or how many users clicked on a particular advertisement. Such information does not identify you individually.

Information security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.

Accessing and updating personal information

When you use MusicStaff.com services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Changes to this policy

Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Policy changes). Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.

If you have any additional questions or concerns about this Policy, please feel free to contact us any time through this web site or at MusicStaff.com, 2 Executive Drive, Suite 310, Somerset, NJ 08873.
