Information You Give Us
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing our Web site for you, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information
For technical reasons the following data, amongst others, which your browser transfers to us, will be collected: Browser type / version, used operating system, Web site which directed you to us (referrer URL), Web site you visit, date and time of access, PHP session ID. This anonymous data will be separated from your possibly entered personal data and thus will allow no conclusions on a certain person. It will be analyzed for statistical purposes in order to optimize our Internet presence and offers. After analysis, this data will be deleted. OpenMusicSchool also utilizes Google Analytics to analyze this information.
We also receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses OpenMusicSchool.com or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of OpenMusicSchool.com on other Web sites.
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features like staying logged in as a member.
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of OpenMusicSchool.com's essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Your personal data (e.g. name, email address, credit card number) will be processed by us only in accordance with the very strict German data privacy laws. The following specifications inform you about the form, extent and purpose of the processing and utilization of personal data. This privacy policy is only valid for our web sites.

Your personal data, required to enable you to use our Internet content and bill you correctly (usage data), are used for the settlement of the contract. Without your explicit agreement or without legal basis, none of your private data will be passed on to third parties.
Specifically, tokens of identification, details on beginning and end, as well as details on the extent of the respective access and information on the service accessed by you. After complete payment of any financial claims, this usage and billing data will be deleted. Data will be locked instead of being deleted if any legal, statutory or contractual safekeeping period is compulsory.

We work to protect the security of your payment information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
We do not reveal your credit card number when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. Our payment services are certified according to PCI DSS and therefore comply with the highest standards for the secure handling and storing of credit card information.
