Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 29, 2026

Violin With Marta respects your privacy. This policy explains what data I collect, how I use it, and your rights regarding that data.

1. Data I Collect

I collect only the data necessary to deliver the platform and its features:

  • Account data: your name, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash - I never see your actual password).
  • Payment data: handled entirely by Stripe. I never see or store your card number, CVV, or billing details.
  • Community data: posts, comments, profile information, and other content you share in the community.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, and general usage patterns.
  • Cookies: I use session cookies for authentication only. No tracking cookies, no advertising cookies.

2. How I Use Your Data

  • Delivering the platform and its features (lessons, community, content).
  • Processing payments and managing subscriptions.
  • Sending transactional emails (receipts, password resets, account updates).
  • Improving the platform based on usage patterns.
  • Responding to support requests.

I do not use your data for targeted advertising or sell it to third parties.

3. Third-Party Services

I use the following services to operate the platform. Each processes only the data necessary for its function:

  • Stripe - payment processing.
  • Supabase - database and authentication.
  • Cloudflare - hosting and security.
  • Resend - transactional email delivery.
  • Umami - privacy-focused analytics. No personal data is collected - no cookies, no IP tracking, no fingerprinting.

I do not sell your data to advertisers. Ever.

4. Data Retention

  • Active accounts: your data is kept for as long as your account is active.
  • Deletion requests: your data will be removed within 30 days, except where I am legally required to retain it.
  • Payment records: retained for 7 years as required by Canadian tax law.

To request data deletion, contact me.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

I take children's privacy seriously:

  • Users under 13 require verifiable parental consent before creating an account.
  • A parent or guardian email must be provided for accounts belonging to children under 13.
  • Parents can request access to, correction of, or deletion of their child's data at any time by contacting me.

6. Canadian Privacy Law (PIPEDA)

Violin With Marta is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA):

  • I obtain consent for all data collection.
  • Your data is used only for the purposes stated in this policy.
  • I implement appropriate security safeguards to protect your information.
  • You have the right to access and correct your personal data at any time.

7. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If I make material changes, I will notify you by email. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
