At Musical Growth, your trust matters. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how it’s used, and how we protect it when you visit or interact with https://musicalgrowth.com (the “Site”).
Our goal is to be transparent, respectful of your privacy, and clear about how your data is handled. If anything here feels unclear, you’re always welcome to reach out.
Who We Are
Our website address is:
https://musicalgrowth.com
Musical Growth is an independent creative and educational platform focused on music, creativity, and personal growth. We are not in the business of selling, renting, or trading personal data or email lists.
The Short Version (Human-Readable Summary)
-
We only collect the information needed to run the website and offer services.
-
We don’t sell your data.
-
Some tools we use (like scheduling, payments, or video embeds) are handled by trusted third-party services.
-
You’re always in control of your information and can request changes or deletion.
The rest of this policy explains this in more detail.
Information We Collect
Comments & Community Interaction
When visitors leave comments on the Site, we collect the information shown in the comment form (such as name and email), along with the visitor’s IP address and browser information. This helps us prevent spam and maintain a healthy community space.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized version of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service. Their privacy policy is available here:

You’re welcome to use a nickname or alias when commenting. We don’t verify identity details and we don’t require real names.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to the Site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract that data from images.
Cookies, Local Storage & Site Functionality
MusicalGrowth.com uses cookies and local browser storage (such as localStorage) to make the site function properly and feel easier to use.
These tools help with:
-
Remembering your preferences
-
Improving page performance
-
Enabling interactive features (such as quizzes, generators, or playful tools like pun pages)
-
Basic analytics and traffic measurement
None of these tools are designed to personally identify you beyond what is technically required for the site to function.
You can disable cookies or clear browser storage at any time through your browser settings. Some features may not work correctly if you do.
Scheduling, Forms & Payments (Acuity Scheduling)
If you book lessons, consultations, or other services through Musical Growth, you may be redirected to a secure third-party scheduling and payment platform such as Acuity Scheduling (or its parent company).
When you use these forms, Acuity may collect:
-
Your name
-
Email address
-
Appointment details
-
Payment information (handled securely by their payment processors)
Important: Musical Growth does not store or process your full payment details directly. Payments are handled securely by Acuity and its payment providers (such as Stripe or PayPal), according to their own privacy and security policies.
We only receive the information needed to:
-
Confirm your booking
-
Communicate with you
-
Provide the service you requested
We recommend reviewing Acuity’s privacy policy for full details on how your data is handled within their platform.
Analytics
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site—things like which pages are most visited or how long people stay.
This information is collected in aggregate and is not used to personally identify you. We use it solely to improve site performance and content quality.
Embedded Content & Third-Party Media
Some pages may include content embedded from other platforms (such as YouTube, audio players, or social media posts). These third-party services may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content.
Musical Growth does not control how third-party platforms handle your data. Visiting embedded content is functionally the same as visiting those platforms directly.
Affiliate Links & External Sites
Some links on MusicalGrowth.com may be affiliate links. This means we may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase something through those links—at no extra cost to you.
Affiliate partners and external websites operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies before providing personal information.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or rent your personal data.
Information may be shared only with trusted service providers when necessary to:
-
Operate the website
-
Process bookings or payments
-
Prevent spam and abuse
-
Improve performance and security
These providers are required to handle data responsibly and only for the purposes of operating the services you interact with.
How Long We Retain Your Data
-
Comments and related metadata may be retained indefinitely to allow for continuity in discussions.
-
Booking and communication records are retained as needed for service delivery, record-keeping, and legal obligations.

You may request deletion of your data where legally permissible.

Children’s Privacy
