Privacy Policy.

We may collect information about you and your registered minor in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the website includes:

Parent/Guardian Personal Data

Personally identifiable information that you voluntarily give to us when you create an account, register for lessons, or contact us. This includes your:

• Name
• Email address
• Physical and billing address
• Telephone number

Minor/Children Data Provided by Parents

Because you are registering a minor, you will be asked to provide specific details about your child to facilitate their training, tournament eligibility, and safety. This data is only collected directly from the parent/guardian and includes:

• Student's name
• Student's birthdate or age group
• USA Fencing membership number (if applicable)
• Emergency contact information and relevant health/safety notes (optional)

Derivative Data

Information our servers automatically collect when you access the website, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and the pages you viewed directly before and after accessing the website.

Financial Data

Financial information, such as data related to your payment method (e.g., credit card details) when you purchase memberships or camp spots. Note: We do not store full financial data on our servers. All financial data is securely processed by our third-party payment processor (e.g., Stripe).

Having accurate information permits us to provide a smooth, efficient, and safe athletic experience. Specifically, we use the collected information to:

• Manage club registrations, class scheduling, and member accounts.
• Organize age-appropriate fencing classes, camps, and tournaments.
• Process payments, refunds, and membership fees.
• Send emails regarding training schedules, club updates, or emergency closures.
• Respond to customer service and coaching requests.
• Prevent fraudulent transactions and monitor against theft.

We may share information we have collected in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:

• By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information is necessary to respond to legal process, investigate potential policy violations, or protect the safety and rights of our coaches, students, and community.
• Third-Party Service Providers: We may share information with third parties that perform services for us, including backend database hosting (e.g., Supabase), payment processing (e.g., Stripe), and email delivery tools.
• Fencing Governing Bodies: Minimum required student details may be verified with regional fencing divisions or USA Fencing for official tournament eligibility, when requested by the parent.

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the website to help customize the website and improve your experience.

When you access the website, personal information is not collected through tracking technology. Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that doing so could affect website functionality.

Our website is built using Lovable AI development infrastructure and integrates external databases or backends. Additionally, our website contains links to external sites of interest, including tournament registration platforms (e.g., AskFRED) or equipment vendors.

Once you leave our website via these links, any information you provide is not covered by this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your family's personal information. While we take reasonable steps to secure the data you provide, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against misuse.

We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. Our website and services are intended strictly for purchase and interaction by parents, legal guardians, or adults over the age of 18.

All registration and data entry for youth or minor fencing athletes must be completed by a parent or legal guardian. If we learn that a child under 13 has bypassed security and provided personal data directly without parental verification, we will delete that information immediately.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the following rights regarding your personal data and your child's data:

• The right to access, update, or delete the information we store.
• The right of rectification if any account information is inaccurate.
• The right to object to or restrict how we process your family's data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. We will alert you about updates by changing the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting.
