Safety & Privacy

Student trust comes before growth.

Piano Pathway USA is designed as an educational resource for students and families. Because many learners may be minors, the site uses clear boundaries around communication, privacy, images, and student information.

Important: This page is a practical safety and privacy commitment for a student-led volunteer education project. It is not legal advice. As the project grows, policies should be reviewed with trusted adults, school/community partners, or legal guidance if needed.

Privacy

Minimal information

Forms should collect only what is needed to respond: name, email, student level, organization, and resource needs.

Minors

Parent/guardian involvement

Students under 13 should have a parent/guardian submit contact forms or be included in communication.

Boundaries

No unsafe private contact

Direct help for younger students should include a parent, guardian, teacher, or organization representative.

Images

Permission first

No student photos, names, testimonials, or recordings should be posted without permission from the student and parent/guardian when required.

Communication Policy

How Piano Pathway USA should communicate safely.

  • Parent or school contact: For younger students, communication should include a parent/guardian or school/community representative.
  • No unnecessary personal details: Students should not be asked for addresses, private schedules, financial information, or sensitive details.
  • Educational purpose only: Communication should stay focused on lessons, resources, scheduling, practice help, or organization partnerships.
  • Respectful environment: Any messages or comments should be appropriate, encouraging, and music-focused.
  • Permission for public content: Testimonials, photos, recordings, or student work should only be posted with clear permission.
