Deft Digits, LLC (“Deft Digits,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates deftdigits.com and provides online music education, membership courses, private lessons, email newsletters, and related services.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you.
Information We Collect
Depending on how you use Deft Digits, we may collect information such as:
- Your name and email address
- Account login information
- Billing address and transaction information
- Information you provide when signing up for lessons, courses, memberships, email lists, or contact forms
- Communications you send to us
- Information about your membership, course access, subscriptions, and payment status
- Technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring pages, and approximate usage information
We only ask for information reasonably necessary to provide and improve our services.
Accounts and Memberships
If you create an account at deftdigits.com, we store the information necessary to maintain that account, such as your name, email address, login credentials, membership status, course access, and transaction history.
Our membership and course system is powered by MemberPress. MemberPress operates within our WordPress website and helps us manage accounts, memberships, subscriptions, course access, and related records.
Passwords are stored using WordPress’s password-security systems. We do not have access to your password in readable form.
Payments
Payments and recurring subscriptions are processed by Stripe.
When you enter payment-card information, that information is transmitted directly to Stripe. Deft Digits does not receive or store your complete credit-card number or security code.
We do receive and retain information associated with the transaction, such as:
- Your name and email address
- The membership or service purchased
- Payment amount and date
- Subscription status
- Stripe transaction or customer identifiers
- Limited payment information such as card type and last four digits, when provided by Stripe
Stripe processes this information according to its own privacy policy and security practices.
Email and Marketing
We use Kit to manage email subscriptions and send newsletters, lessons, announcements, and other email communications.
If you choose to subscribe, information such as your name, email address, signup source, tags, and subscription status may be stored in Kit.
Joining a paid membership does not automatically require you to subscribe to marketing email. Where an email opt-in is offered during registration, you may choose whether to join the Deft Digits email list.
Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You can unsubscribe at any time.
We may still send transactional or service-related emails that are necessary to administer an account, payment, membership, or private lesson relationship.
Contact Forms and Inquiries
If you contact us through a form, email, or other communication method, we may retain the information you provide so that we can respond to your inquiry, provide services, maintain appropriate business records, and follow up when relevant.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Deftdigits.com and the services we use may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as:
- Keeping users logged in
- Maintaining account and checkout functionality
- Processing payments securely
- Remembering preferences
- Preventing fraud or abuse
- Measuring website usage and performance
- Supporting email signup forms and related functionality
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may prevent certain parts of the site from working correctly.
Website Analytics and Log Data
Like most websites, our website and hosting systems may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser, device type, referring page, pages visited, and date and time of access.
We use Google Analytics, implemented through MonsterInsights, to understand how visitors use the site, identify technical problems, and improve our content and services. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies and may collect information such as pages visited, device and browser information, approximate location, referring sources, and interactions with the website.
We use this information primarily in aggregate rather than to personally identify individual visitors.
Service Providers
We use third-party companies to operate parts of Deft Digits. These providers may process personal information only as necessary to perform services for us.
Current examples include:
- Stripe, for payment processing and subscription billing
- Kit, for email-list management and email delivery
- MemberPress, for membership, account, subscription, and course management
- SiteGround, for website hosting and related infrastructure
- Google Analytics / MonsterInsights, for website traffic and usage analytics
- WordPress and associated software providers that support operation and security of the website
These companies have their own privacy and security practices.
We may change or add service providers as our business evolves.

How We Share Your Information

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with law or a valid legal process
- Protect the rights, safety, or property of Deft Digits or others
- Investigate fraud, abuse, or security problems

Children and Minors
Deft Digits provides music education to both adults and minors.
For children under 13, account registration, billing, and business communications should be handled by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from a child under 13 without appropriate parental involvement or consent.
Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly may contact us and request that it be reviewed or deleted.
For older minors, we may communicate directly with the student when appropriate for lessons or coursework, while maintaining the parent or guardian’s involvement where required or appropriate.
How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
For example:
- Account information may be retained while an account remains active.
- Transaction and payment records may be retained as required for accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, or legal purposes.
- Email subscription information may be retained until you unsubscribe and for a reasonable period afterward to maintain suppression records.
- Business communications may be retained when useful for maintaining the customer relationship or business records.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information.
However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Payment-card data is handled directly by Stripe rather than stored by Deft Digits.

Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you rights regarding your personal information.
You may contact us to request that we:
- Tell you what personal information we maintain about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete information when we are not required to retain it

You can unsubscribe from marketing email at any time using the unsubscribe link in the message.
We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. Their own privacy policies apply when you use those services.
