Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Account information: name, email address, password (stored in hashed/encrypted form), and school listing details you provide when creating or claiming a listing.
• Order information: billing and shipping address, and order history when you make a purchase through the Store. Payment card details are collected and processed directly by our third-party payment processor and are not stored on our servers.
• Uploaded content: photos or other files you submit for a school listing.
• Usage information: IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected automatically through standard web server logs and cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to: create and manage your account; publish and manage school listings; process and fulfill orders; communicate with you about your account or orders; respond to inquiries sent to us; improve and maintain the website; and detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues.

3. Consent

By creating an account, submitting a listing, or making a purchase, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions, by contacting us at hello@ourmartialarts.com — please note that withdrawing consent may limit our ability to provide certain services to you.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Service providers who help us operate the website, process payments, host our infrastructure, or deliver products (e.g., payment processors, cloud hosting and storage providers, and shipping carriers), solely for the purpose of providing their service to us.
• Legal and safety purposes, where required to comply with the law, respond to a legal process, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Our Martial Arts, our users, or the public.
• Business transfers, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our website. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that some parts of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

6. Data Storage and International Transfers

Our website infrastructure may store or process data using service providers located outside of Canada, including in the United States. Where this occurs, your information may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction, including lawful access by that jurisdiction's authorities. We take reasonable steps to ensure any third-party provider we use maintains a comparable level of protection for your information.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including password hashing and secure data transmission. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

Under PIPEDA, you have the right to:

• access the personal information we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• withdraw consent to our collection or use of your information, subject to legal or contractual limitations;
• request deletion of your account and associated information, subject to our legal retention obligations.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@ourmartialarts.com. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca).

10. Email Communications

If you provide your email address, we may send you transactional messages (such as order confirmations and account notices) and, where you have provided consent in accordance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), promotional communications. Every promotional email includes an unsubscribe link, and you may withdraw consent to marketing emails at any time.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
