Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

At Karate of LA, we respect digital privacy and are firmly committed to safeguarding the personal information shared by our students and their families. This privacy framework explains how we collect, use, and protect information collected through our martial arts programs, our website, and our physical West Los Angeles dojo.

Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that you voluntarily choose to provide to us. This happens when you fill out a lead capture form, claim a digital trial pass, call us, or register for classes via our automated student billing portal (Zen Planner). The categories of data collected include:

• Contact Details: Name, phone number, physical address, and email address.
• Student Enrollment Information: Name, age, and designated training preferences used to assign appropriate program levels.
• Billing & Payment Data: Financial transaction data processed securely through our encrypted merchant software for membership tuition (we do not store raw credit card details locally).

Our Stance Against Invasive Marketing

We believe your data belongs to you. Karate of LA does not sell, lease, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Furthermore, we do not engage in invasive tracking or share data with external ad networks for cross-context behavioral advertising. Any details you give us are used strictly inside the dojo to manage your account and deliver high-quality instruction.

How We Use Your Information

The information collected is used explicitly to maintain dojo operations, including:

• Responding directly to program inquiries and scheduling trial sessions.
• Managing class placements, workshops, and student progress tracks.
• Sending critical operational updates (such as belt promotions, class cancellations, or holiday schedules).

Children’s Privacy Protection

Because our mission involves youth development, we take children’s online privacy with maximum seriousness. We do not knowingly harvest information directly from children under the age of 13. All website submissions, trial pass requests, and registration steps must be executed completely by a parent or legal guardian.

Your California Privacy Rights

Under California privacy statutes, residents hold distinct legal rights regarding their personal data. We honor these principles fully. You may request to:

• Access & Review: Obtain a copy of the specific personal files we maintain regarding your household account.
• Correct & Update: Modify inaccurate profile details or student milestone assignments.
• Delete: Request the total erasure of your household’s lead records from our internal software (provided the student is no longer actively enrolled in a structured class track).

To exercise these rights, simply contact us directly at [email protected], and our team will handle your request securely.

Data Security

We implement strict physical, administrative, and technical security guards to defend your family’s personal files from theft, loss, misuse, or unauthorized entry.
