Last Updated: July 2026

This website and the associated services are operated by Hardy Music Productions Limited (trading as Matthew Hardy). For the purposes of data protection legislation, including the Kenya Data Protection Act (2019), Hardy Music Productions Limited is the Data Controller.

Because I am the sole director and practitioner providing these services, this policy uses "I", "me", and "my" for ease of reading, but these terms legally refer to the Company. I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal data.

When you use the contact forms on this website or communicate with me via WhatsApp or email, I may collect the following personal information:

  • Contact Details: Parent/Guardian name, email address, and phone/WhatsApp number.

  • Student Details: Student name, age, and current musical playing level.

  • Project Details: Organisation name and project requirements (for consulting enquiries).

2. How I Use Your Information

I use the information collected solely to:

  • Respond to your inquiries regarding music tuition, consulting, or conducting services.

  • Organise and schedule trial lessons, consultations, and ongoing tuition.

  • Communicate important administrative updates and issue invoices.

  • Maintain a waitlist for future studio openings.

I do not send marketing newsletters unless you have explicitly opted in, and the Company will never sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is securely stored using reputable third-party platforms that adhere to high data security standards. Information submitted via this website is routed securely to my administrative database (Airtable) and email provider (Google Workspace).

  • Essential Cookies: I use strictly necessary cookies provided by my website host (Squarespace) to ensure the site operates properly. These are required for basic functionality and cannot be switched off.

  • Analytics Cookies: Only with your explicit consent, I use Google Analytics to understand website traffic (such as which pages are visited most often). Google Analytics processes non-identifiable information, such as your browser type and general location, to help me improve my site.
