Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 26, 2026

1. Who we are

LessonCadence ("LessonCadence," "we," "us") provides studio-management software for independent music teachers and tutors. This policy explains how we handle personal information on lessoncadence.com. The data controller is [Company legal name], [registered address]. If you're in a region with a data-protection authority, you have the right to lodge a complaint with yours.

2. What we collect

Information you give us (the waitlist form)

• Email address (required) — so we can confirm your spot and tell you when we launch.
• First name (optional) — to personalize our emails.
• Role (optional) — e.g. music teacher, tutor, studio owner, or parent, to understand our audience.
• Design-partner details (optional) — if you volunteer to help build the product, a short note about your studio and a rough student count.

Information collected automatically

• Basic usage & device data — pages viewed, referring site, approximate region, and general browser/device type, via our privacy-first analytics (see §6). We do not record your screen or track you across other websites.

We do not ask for payment card details on this site. The waitlist is email-only.

3. How we use it

• To add you to the waitlist and send a confirmation email (double opt-in).
• To notify you when LessonCadence launches and about founding-member pricing.
• To follow up with design partners who opt in.
• To understand, in aggregate, how the site is performing and improve it.
• To keep the service secure and prevent abuse or spam signups.

We will not sell your personal information, and we won't send you unrelated marketing from third parties.

4. Why we're allowed to (legal bases)

Where laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on: your consent (joining the waitlist and receiving launch emails, which you can withdraw at any time), our legitimate interests (running and improving the site securely), and compliance with legal obligations where relevant.

5. Who we share it with

We use a small number of trusted service providers ("processors") who handle data on our behalf, under contract, only to provide their service to us:

• Supabase — database and backend hosting (stores your waitlist entry).
• Postmark — sends the confirmation and launch emails.
• PostHog — privacy-first product analytics.
• Cloudflare — hosting, content delivery, and security for the site.
• Stripe — payment processing (only relevant once the product launches; see §11).

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the public. If we're ever involved in a merger or acquisition, information may transfer as part of that transaction, subject to this policy. Some providers may process data outside your country; where required, appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) are used.

6. Cookies & analytics

We keep cookies to a minimum. Our analytics are configured to be privacy-first: no session recording, no cross-site advertising trackers, and analytics that are not essential are set up to avoid identifying you personally. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we'll ask for your consent first.

7. How we protect it

Access to waitlist data is restricted to our backend service and is not publicly readable — the waitlist database has row-level security enabled with no public access. Connections are encrypted in transit (HTTPS). At launch, each studio's data is isolated from every other studio's, and card data never touches our servers (see §11). No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information using reasonable safeguards.

8. How long we keep it

We keep your waitlist entry until you ask us to remove it, or until it's no longer needed for the purpose you gave it (for example, if we discontinue the waitlist). Aggregate analytics may be retained longer in a form that does not identify you.

9. Your choices & rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. You can:

• Unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting us.
• Ask us to remove you from the waitlist entirely — email privacy@lessoncadence.com.

We'll respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We won't discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

10. Children

This site and the waitlist are intended for adults (teachers, tutors, studio owners, and parents) — not for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this site. In the LessonCadence product, students under 13 are managed by a parent or teacher and never receive their own login, consistent with COPPA. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we'll delete it.

11. Payments (at launch)

When the product launches, payments are handled by Stripe. Card details are entered directly into Stripe's secure fields and never touch our servers — we store only non-sensitive references (such as a customer ID and the card's last four digits and brand). This site does not process any payments.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product develops. When we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you by email.
