Privacy Policy

Journey Instruments cares about the privacy of our customers and fans, so we do our best to be sensitive and responsible when gathering Personal Information and to protect your privacy. Though not a contractual agreement, our Privacy Policy lays out our guidelines on how we manage and protect your Personal Information. This policy describes the information we collect, how it’s used and shared with others, and how we keep it secure. This policy is applicable to all users of our website as well as customers who’ve purchased products, registered products, made inquiries, or provided us with any Personal Information whatsoever. We may update this policy from time to time – and if we do we’ll notify all subscribed persons via email and provide an effective date for any changes in policy.

Whenever you provide us with your information, we collect and maintain it with your privacy as a core concern. Here are the types of information we collect:

  • Personally Identifiable information such as name, gender, nationality.
  • Contact information such as address, email address and phone numbers
  • Payment information such as credit or paypal information, including the name of cardholder, card number, card issuing bank, card issuing country, card expiry date as well as banking account details if relevant;
  • Technical information such as IP addresses.

Journey Instruments cannot discern the age of visitors on our Website, so If you are a legal guardian of someone under 18 years old who has provided us his/her Personal Information without your knowledge and consent, you may request that we remove such information by contacting us.

If you are a minor, we require that you do not provide us with your Personal Information, but rather have your legal guardian or parent enter this information. Should we find that a minor has submitted his information without parental consent, we will remove any and all information.
