Nevada Privacy Rights

If you are a Nevada resident, you have the right to request that we not sell your “covered information” as defined under Nevada law (NRS 603A).

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. If our practices change in the future, we will update this Policy and provide a method for Nevada residents to submit a verified request to opt out of the sale of their covered information.

If you are a Nevada resident and have questions about how we handle your personal information, you may contact us using the information in Section 12.

Legal Bases for Processing (EU/UK Visitors)

Although we are based in Nevada, visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom may have additional rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR. Where applicable, we process personal data under legal bases such as consent, performance of a contract, legitimate interests, and compliance with legal obligations.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it in the following situations:

Service providers – with trusted third parties who perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processing, website hosting, email delivery, scheduling, analytics, and our third‑party merchandise store provider). They may only use your information as needed to provide services to us.
Legal and safety – when required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Hiro Karate, our students, or others.
Business transfers – in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
With your consent – in any other situation where you have given us permission to share your information.

Children's Privacy

We serve many children and families and take children’s privacy seriously.

Our Site is not intended for children under 13 to use without parental consent. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 online. Any information about a child that we collect (such as name, age, or health information) is provided by a parent or legal guardian for enrollment, safety, and participation in our programs.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us online without your consent, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

Data Security

We use reasonable physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, for tax, accounting, or legal reasons). When we no longer need your information, we will delete or anonymize it in a secure manner.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as:

Accessing and obtaining a copy of your personal information.
Requesting correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Requesting deletion of your personal information, subject to legal obligations.
Objecting to or restricting certain processing activities.
Withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, or to ask questions about your information, please contact us using the details in Section 12. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in our emails or contacting us directly.
