What the course keeps about students and teachers, who can see it, and what we never do with it.
This page takes effect on October 31, 2026.
Who we are, and who is responsible
PerfectMyMusic is an online music curriculum for schools: lessons, practice and quizzes that students work through in a web browser, and a gradebook for their teachers. A school or its district, not a family, signs up for it.
Responsible for the information on this page: PerfectMyMusic, 303 Pinewood Drive, Rock Spring, GA 30739.
Questions about this page, or about a student’s information, go to support@perfectmymusic.com.
What we keep about a student
A student’s first and last name as the teacher typed it, their sign-in code, their class and school, and their work in the course: where they are in it, each try with its answers and score, when they signed in, the badges they earned, and their answers to their teacher’s messages (one of three buttons: I will try again, I am stuck, or I have got it now).
We do not ask for, and do not keep, a student’s email address, password, birth date, address, phone number or photo. A student signs in with the code on the slip their teacher prints, and nothing else.
What we keep about a teacher
A teacher’s name as they show it to students, their school email address, their school, their classes and how each class is set to work, and the messages and work they hand out. Teachers sign in with Google, or with a link sent to their email; there is no password.
Who can see it
A student’s teacher sees that student’s work, and so does any co-teacher the teacher adds to the class. Other teachers at the same school see the school’s list of students (names and codes), which is how a student is added to a class, but not a class’s work. A student sees only their own work: a student’s device cannot list other students or see a class list.
PerfectMyMusic can see the information to run the course, count a school’s students and answer the school’s or district’s questions.
What we never do
We never sell student or teacher information, and we never use it for advertising. Neither app shows advertising, and neither carries an advertising or tracking script.
Student records and FERPA
PerfectMyMusic follows FERPA. We act for the school or district as a school official with a legitimate educational interest: student information is used only to provide the course to that school, under the direction of the school or district.
The school or district controls the school’s records. Its teachers add their students, correct a name, and archive a student who leaves; nothing a student has done is ever changed or deleted by the app.
Student information is never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to build profiles. A school or district can ask to see, correct or delete the school’s records: write to support@perfectmymusic.com.
Students under 13 and COPPA
PerfectMyMusic follows COPPA. For students under 13, the school or district gives consent for classroom use, as COPPA allows for tools a school or district authorizes.
We collect only what the course needs: the first and last names a teacher enters, the work students do, and when they sign in. Students give no email address and no password. A student’s device keeps a sign-in of its own, a random number with no name in it, so that it stays signed in to the right student.
Where it is kept, and who helps us run it
The course and its records are kept on Google’s cloud service for apps (Firebase). These are the services that run it:
- Google Cloud and Firebase: the web pages, the database, sign-in, and the server code that opens the course, gives badges and sends invitations.
- Postmark: emails to teachers (their invitations, and trial and renewal emails).
- Amazon SES and the WordPress site at SiteGround: the website’s forms and the email list, with no student information.
No other service receives student information. The shared files a lesson fetched from public file servers (its piano sounds and its lettering) have been moved to PerfectMyMusic’s own storage; only the course’s video lessons still take their lettering from Google Fonts. The music engraver and a few other shared files keep copies on public file servers as backups, asked for only if PerfectMyMusic’s own storage does not answer. Those requests carry no student information.
What stays on a device
So that a student can stop part way and pick up later, the browser keeps a note of where an unfinished exercise stopped, under a mark rather than a name; it goes when the exercise is finished. A teacher’s browser keeps a copy of their classes’ records so the gradebook opens quickly, and that copy is removed when the teacher signs out. A student is signed out after fifteen minutes away.
Email we send
Sign-in links come from noreply@perfectmymusic.com, and invitations to teachers from support@perfectmymusic.com. We do not email students.
The website and our email list
The website’s two forms keep what you type into them: your name, email address, school, district, state and role, how you heard about us, any note, and whether the school has started a trial or bought a license. They are kept on PerfectMyMusic’s own website (WordPress, hosted by SiteGround) and in its email tool (FluentCRM), and sent through Amazon’s email service (Amazon SES). They are never sold or shared, and never joined to a student’s record. Joining the list takes a confirmation, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe. The website carries no advertising or tracking script. To be removed entirely, write to support@perfectmymusic.com.
Deleting a school’s records
Nothing in the app deletes a student’s record, so a mistake can always be undone: archiving a student or deleting a class takes it off a teacher’s lists and keeps the work.
When a school or its district asks in writing, PerfectMyMusic deletes that school’s student records within 30 days, and tells the school or district in writing when it is done. To ask, write to support@perfectmymusic.com from the school or district.
How long records are kept
A school’s records are kept while it uses PerfectMyMusic. After a school’s license ends, its records are kept for one year, then deleted. A school or its district can ask for them to be deleted sooner, and they are, within 30 days (see “Deleting a school’s records”, just above).
If something goes wrong
If student information is ever exposed, PerfectMyMusic tells the school or district within 72 hours of learning of it: what happened, and what is being done.
Changes to this page
If what we keep or who can see it changes, this page changes first, and schools and districts are told before the change takes effect.
