This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.

Third Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information.  We do not include or offer third-party products or services on our website.

Google

As the world’s largest online advertising platform, Google has a vested interest in ensuring that ads are relevant and useful for users. To that end, they have developed a set of Advertising Principles that all advertisers must follow. These principles are designed to promote transparency, relevance, and user choice. For example, advertisers must disclose any incentivized reviews or ratings, and they must ensure that their ads are relevant to the user’s search query. In addition, Ads must not interfere with the user’s experience, and users must be given the option to opt-out of seeing certain types of ads. By following these principles, Google ensures that users have a positive experience with their ads and are more likely to click on them. As a result, advertisers can reach their target audience more effectively. https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/1316548?hl=en

As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies to serve ads on our site. The DART cookie enables Google to serve ads to our users based on previous visits to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy. By doing so, they will no longer receive targeted ads from us or from any other sites that use Google’s advertising services. However, please note that opting out of targeted advertising will not stop all ads from appearing on your screen. You may still see ads that are not tailored to your interests, but they will not be based on your previous online activity.

We have implemented the following features to improve our advertising and marketing efforts: Remarketing with Google AdSense, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, Demographics, and Interests Reporting, and DoubleClick Platform Integration.

We use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our website. This data is used to improve our website content and advertising. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the collection and use of this data. If you do not wish for your data to be used in this way, you can opt out by changing your browser settings. 

Opting Out

Users can set preferences for how Google advertises to them using the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, users can opt-out by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative Opt Out page or by using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add-on. By setting preferences, ads will be more useful to users because they will be based on the user's interests. Also, opting out of interest-based ads does not mean that users will no longer see online advertising altogether. Rather, companies will no longer be able to use information like websites visited to choose which ads to show users. Users who opt out may still see ads that are not based on their interests, but they can use the Block button in Google Ad Settings if they want to stop seeing a particular ad. It's also possible that opting out of interest-based ads will cause other ads to become less relevant to users over time.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

As the internet has become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, it is more important than ever to ensure that our personal information is protected. The California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) is a groundbreaking law that requires commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy, ensuring that consumers know exactly what information is being collected and with whom it is being shared. This law applies not only to businesses based in California but also to any company operating in the United States that collects Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers. In today's digital age, CalOPPA provides much-needed protection for our personal information.  See more at: https://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

In accordance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), we agree to the following: Users can visit our site anonymously; once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website; our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on the page specified above; you will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page, and you can change your personal information by emailing us.

We honor Do Not Track signals and Do Not Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place. We do this because we believe in being transparent about our data collection practices and giving you control over your information. It’s also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a law that was enacted to protect the privacy of children under the age of 13 years old. The law requires that website and online service operators take steps to ensure that children's personal information is safeguarded. The Federal Trade Commission is the U.S. consumer protection agency that enforces the COPPA Rule. The Rule spells out what website and online service operators must do to comply with the law. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old. However, we understand the importance of protecting the privacy of all children who use our website and online services. We have therefore implemented procedures and controls designed to comply with the requirements of the COPPA Rule.

Fair Information Practices

Fair Information Practice Principles are a set of principles that have been formulated to guide data controllers in the handling of personal information. They set out the minimum requirements that data controllers must comply with to protect the privacy of individuals. The principles are based on the concepts of necessity and proportionality, and they require data controllers to take steps to ensure that personal information is collected only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and that it is used only in a way that is compatible with those purposes. In addition, data controllers must take steps to ensure that personal information is accurate and up-to-date and that it is erased or destroyed where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected. Finally, data controllers must take steps to ensure that individuals have a right to access their personal information and exercise control over its use. By understanding and complying with the Fair Information Practice Principles, data controllers can help to protect the privacy of individuals and comply with the law.

At Boca De La Riva Jiu Jitsu, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our customers' information. In the event of a data breach, we will take the following responsive action:

We will notify you via email within 1 business day.

We will provide you with information about what happened and what steps you can take to protect your information.

We will work with law enforcement and other security experts to investigate the breach and take steps to prevent it from happening again.

We agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle not only requires that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that they have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors. We believe that this is a fundamental right that every individual should have, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that data processors are held accountable for their actions. 

The Can Spam Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. We collect your email address to send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions. Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred. 

We agree to the following terms in accordance with CAN SPAM: not using false or misleading subjects or email addresses, identifying the message as an advertisement, including the physical address of our business or site headquarters, and monitoring third-party email marketing services for compliance (if used), honoring opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly, and allowing users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email. By complying with these terms, we are helping to ensure that our emails are not considered spam.
