Website Visitors
Like most website operators, we gather non-personally-identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available. This includes browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
We collect this information to understand how visitors interact with our website and to analyze trends in usage. Occasionally, we may release aggregated, non-personally-identifying information, such as in trend reports.
HIKARI School of Music and Languages also collects potentially personally-identifying information, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, from logged-in users and users who leave comments on our blog posts at https://www.hikarischoolofmusic.co.ke/.
We only disclose IP addresses under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying information, as described below.

Certain interactions with our website may require you to provide personally-identifying information. The type and amount of information we collect depends on the nature of the interaction.
