Privacy Policy

1) Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit our website, sign up for a trial lesson, enroll in a course, or communicate with us. Our courses are delivered online (e.g., via Zoom) and may include session recordings. This Policy also includes information relevant to minors and parental rights.

2) Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

A) Purchaser / Parent / Guardian information

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number (if provided)
• Country/city (if provided)
• Communications with us (email/messages/forms)

B) Student / Participant information

• First name (we encourage first name only)
• Age or age range (for placement and compliance)
• Contact details (typically the Parent/Guardian's; student email only if needed for access)
• Participation data (attendance, progress, feedback, submissions if applicable)

C) Live session data (Zoom) and recordings

During live sessions we may process:

• Video and audio
• Chat messages and reactions
• Display name
• Session metadata (date, time, duration)
• Recordings (if enabled for the course), which may include participant audio/video/chat

D) Website and device data

• IP address
• Browser and device information
• Basic site logs and analytics (depending on your configuration)
• Cookies or similar technologies (see Section 10)

3) How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Provide and administer trial lessons and courses (enrollment, scheduling, access)
• Communicate operational updates (links, changes, reminders, support)
• Maintain a safe learning environment (moderation, enforcement of rules)
• Improve our courses and service quality
• Process payments and handle disputes/chargebacks
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

4) Recordings (Important)

4.1 Recording purposes. Some sessions may be recorded (video/audio/chat/screen) for educational and operational purposes, such as enabling enrolled participants to review content (where offered), quality assurance, and instructor training.

4.2 Limited access. Recordings (if provided) are available only to enrolled participants (and their Parent/Guardian) of the same course for private educational use, subject to our Terms of Service.

4.3 No participant recording or sharing. Participants and Parent/Guardians may not record sessions or share recordings, screenshots, transcripts, or any class content that includes other participants.

4.4 No marketing use without separate consent. We do not use recordings or images of minors for marketing (website/social media/ads) without separate, explicit Parent/Guardian consent.

4.5 Privacy controls. We may require first-name display only, camera-off, or other privacy rules to protect minors and the learning environment.

5) Payments

Payments are processed by third-party payment providers (e.g., Stripe). We do not store full payment card details. Payment providers process information according to their own policies.

6) Sharing and Disclosure

We share information only as needed to operate our services, including with:

• Zoom (or similar provider) to deliver live sessions and recordings (if enabled)
• Stripe (or similar provider) for payment processing and fraud prevention/dispute handling
• Email/communication tools used for operational messages and course administration
• Cloud storage and operational tools (if used)
• Professional advisors (legal/accounting) as needed
• Authorities where required by law or to protect rights and safety

We do not sell personal information.

7) Trial Lessons, Follow-Ups, and Marketing

7.1 Operational follow-ups. After a trial lesson, we may send operational messages related to the trial (e.g., thank-you message, feedback request, scheduling/admin details).

7.2 Marketing messages. We will send marketing messages (course offers, promotions, newsletters) only where permitted by law and typically only if you opt in (e.g., by checking a separate consent box). You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe option or by contacting us.

8) International Data Transfers

Because we serve international students and use global service providers, personal information may be processed in countries other than your own. We take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

9) Data Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for:

• course delivery and administration,
• customer support, disputes/chargebacks,
• legal/accounting obligations,

and then delete or anonymize it where feasible. Recordings are retained only as long as needed for the purposes described in Section 4, then deleted/anonymized, subject to legal obligations.

10) Cookies and Analytics

We may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the site and understand usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you use analytics/pixels (e.g., Google Analytics/Meta Pixel), we recommend implementing a cookie banner/consent mechanism for visitors where required.

11) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12) Your Rights and Requests

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing of your personal information. To make a request, contact: contact@binametis.com.

We may need to verify your identity (and parental status where relevant) before fulfilling requests.

13) Children's Privacy

Our courses are generally intended for ages 11–18 and adults. Enrollment for minors is completed by a Parent/Guardian.

If participation involves children under 13 in certain jurisdictions (including the United States), we may require additional parental consent and verification steps before allowing participation and/or collecting information.

14) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on our website with a new Effective Date.
