Survey Data Collection and Usage We occasionally conduct surveys to better understand our community's preferences and behaviours. When you participate in our surveys, we collect:

  • Survey responses and feedback

  • Optional demographic information (such as age range, location type, relationship status)

  • Any additional information voluntarily provided in open-text responses

Survey data is never sold to third parties or used for advertising purposes.

Protecting Survey Information Survey responses are stored securely using the same protective measures we apply to other user data. While specific responses are accessible only to authorized piano piano team members, we may publish general findings and insights in an aggregated, anonymous format.

Retention of Survey Data We retain individual survey responses for up to 24 months, after which they are permanently anonymized for statistical purposes only. You can request the deletion of your survey responses at any time by contacting hello@pianopiano.app.

Why Do We Process Your Data?

If you wish to use features like receiving notifications about membership openings or contacting us directly, you may need to provide personal data such as your email and postcode. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us via hello@pianopiano.app.
