Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Taught by Maestro ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our website and subscription service (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Account information. When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored in hashed form). If you subscribe to a paid plan, we collect billing information; payment card details are processed and stored by our third-party payment processor (Stripe) and are not stored on our servers.

Usage and conversation data. We collect the messages you send to the Service, files you upload (audio recordings, images, sheet music), and the AI responses you receive. This data is used to deliver the Service and may be used to improve it.

Device and log data. We automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and timestamps. This information is used for security, diagnostics, and analytics.

Cookies and local storage. We use browser local storage to maintain your session and conversation history. We may also use cookies for authentication and analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect Service functionality.

2. How We Use Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Third-Party Services

We share information with third parties only as necessary to provide the Service:

We require these service providers to handle your data in accordance with applicable privacy laws and their own privacy commitments.

4. Audio and Media Data

When you upload an audio recording, image, or other media file to the Service, that file is transmitted to our servers and then to the applicable third-party AI processing service (Google Gemini for audio and video; Anthropic Claude for images and documents). We do not retain uploaded media files longer than necessary to process your request, unless you have explicitly shared them as part of a saved lesson. Audio recordings you submit are never used to train AI models on our behalf without your explicit consent.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account information and conversation history for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, regulatory, or fraud-prevention purposes.

You may request deletion of your conversation history at any time by contacting us at hello@taughtbymaestro.com.

6. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information to the Service, please contact us immediately at hello@taughtbymaestro.com.

Users between 13 and 18 should use the Service only with the knowledge and consent of a parent or guardian.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed password storage, and restricted access to production systems. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@taughtbymaestro.com. We will respond within 30 days.

9. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete your personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your CCPA rights, contact us at hello@taughtbymaestro.com.

10. International Users

The Service is operated in the United States. If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by a prominent notice within the Service at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
