Parents or guardians may contact us to request updates or corrections to information associated with their child.

By providing contact information, you consent to receive communications related to studio operations, registrations, scheduling, events, and customer support.

Certain communications may be assisted or processed using automated or AI-based technologies.

We strive to use these technologies responsibly and in a manner consistent with customer service and operational needs.
6. Payment Information
Online payments may be processed through third-party payment providers.
USA Martial Arts does not store full credit card or banking information directly on our local systems unless specifically required for authorized payment processing purposes.
Payment processing providers may have their own privacy and security policies governing payment transactions.
7. Cookies and Website Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for security, functionality, analytics, and improving website performance.
These technologies may help us maintain secure sessions, improve website reliability, understand general website usage, enhance user experience, and protect against spam or malicious activity.
We do not use website tracking technologies for selling personal information. Most web browsers allow users to manage cookie preferences through browser settings.
8. Website Analytics and Security Services
We may use trusted third-party infrastructure and technology providers to help operate our website and communications systems, including services related to website hosting, performance monitoring, security protection, form processing, communication delivery, messaging services, and analytics.
These providers are only given access to information reasonably necessary to perform their services.
9. Member Portal and Local Systems
Our website may provide access to a member or parent portal operated through our internal studio management systems.
Portal services may be securely connected through protected network technologies and local systems maintained by USA Martial Arts.
Information submitted through portal services may be stored and managed within our internal operational systems.
10. Photos, Videos, Testimonials, and Media
USA Martial Arts may display selected photos, videos, testimonials, reviews, or event-related media on our website, social media pages, or promotional materials.
Media shared publicly is reviewed and selected by studio staff before publication.
Formal permissions, media releases, or participation agreements may be handled separately through studio registration or membership processes.
Parents or guardians may contact us with concerns regarding published media involving their child, and we will make reasonable efforts to address appropriate requests.
11. Information Security
We take reasonable steps to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, or destruction.
Security measures may include secure hosting technologies, network protection services, access controls, encrypted communications where appropriate, and internal system safeguards.
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, services, videos, or social media platforms.
USA Martial Arts is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites or services not directly operated by us.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party services they visit.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect operational, legal, technological, or business changes.
Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
