Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Google Ads
At Jim Scordilis’ Guitar Lessons we use Google Ads to promote our services and improve user experience. As part of our marketing efforts, we utilize Google Ads conversion tracking to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

What Google Ads Conversion Tracking Does:

Google Ads conversion tracking helps us understand how you interact with our website after clicking on one of our ads. When you click on a Google ad, a cookie is placed on your device to track specific actions you take on our website, such as completing a purchase, signing up for our newsletter, or submitting a form. This data allows us to analyze which ads are most effective and optimize our marketing strategies accordingly.

What Data Is Collected:

Google Ads collects anonymous data, such as:

The ad you clicked on
The pages you visited on our website
Actions you took on our site (e.g., purchases, sign-ups)
Non-personally identifiable information (such as device type, browser type, etc.)
No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected or shared with us through Google Ads unless you’ve explicitly provided it to us on our website (e.g., through a contact form). The data collected through Google Ads is aggregated and anonymized, ensuring that we cannot identify individual users.

How We Use This Data:

We use the insights provided by Google Ads conversion tracking to:

Understand which ads and keywords are driving conversions
Improve the relevance of our ads
Optimize our advertising budget
Enhance the user experience on our website by tailoring content to visitors.
