For privacy questions, contact us at anikbarsinghtablacademy@gmail.com or via https://anikbarsinghtablaacademy.com/.

2. Information we collect

Users must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account.

By registering for an account, you consent to the collection and processing of your personal information for the purposes of providing membership services, processing payments, communicating with you regarding your account, and improving our services.

The Academy may also monitor account activity, including login history, device information, IP addresses, geographic locations, and access patterns, for the purpose of maintaining platform security, preventing unauthorised access, and detecting account sharing.

3. How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Provide membership services and access to learning materials.
• Process payments and manage subscriptions.
• Communicate with you regarding your account.
• Improve our services.
• Maintain platform security, prevent unauthorised access, and detect account sharing or unlawful distribution of content.

4. Sharing of personal information

We will not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Account monitoring

The Academy employs monitoring systems and security measures to detect unauthorised access, account sharing, and unlawful distribution of content. By using the Academy, users acknowledge and consent to such monitoring for the purpose of protecting Academy content and intellectual property.

Where we reasonably suspect that an account is being shared, accessed by multiple individuals, or used in breach of the Terms and Conditions, we reserve the right to:

• Request proof of account ownership and identity verification.
• Temporarily suspend access while an investigation is carried out.
• Restrict access from certain devices or locations.
• Permanently deactivate the account where a breach is confirmed.

6. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies so the website and student portal can function. We do not use first-party cookies for advertising or analytics.

Essential cookies

When you visit the Academy, we set a session cookie. This is required to keep you signed in, protect forms against unauthorised submissions, run security checks such as captcha, and remember short-lived messages (for example, after you send a form). This cookie is stored only for your browsing session, or for a limited time while you remain active on the site.

If a staff or administrator account selects “Remember me” when signing in, we may also set a remember_token cookie for up to 30 days so that person does not have to log in again on the same device. Student accounts do not use this cookie.

Third-party cookies

Some features are provided by other companies and may set their own cookies when you use those features:

• YouTube — when you play an embedded video on pages such as Home or Media.
• PayPal — when you start or complete a membership payment.
• Paddle — when you use Paddle checkout for a membership payment, where that option is available.

Those providers are responsible for the cookies they set. Their use of cookies is covered by their own privacy and cookie policies.

Similar technologies

We also use browser storage (local storage and session storage) for functional purposes only, such as remembering metronome or tuner settings on your device and keeping a membership checkout in progress. This information stays on your device and is not used for advertising.

Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, parts of the website may not work, including signing in and submitting forms. Embedded videos and payment checkout may also not work if you block cookies from those providers.

7. Further information

Further information regarding how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information is set out in this Privacy Policy and in our Terms and Conditions.
