FightingArts.com's Privacy Policy

The following sets forth FightingArts.com's information gathering and dissemination practices.

We are committed to your privacy and recognize that as a visitor or member, you are our most important asset. We will attempt to protect interests of the participant of our community.

We do collect certain confidential information when you sign up for our newsletter, enter contests or promotional events, become a forum member, order from our e-store, or participate in other activities. This may include contact information, such as your email address, name, telephone number, address and zip code. We also may ask users voluntarily to give us certain other information (such as martial arts practiced, length of practice, style or organization, rank and/or education level) in order to tailor information, articles and services on the site to its users. We may use contact information to contact the visitor when necessary, or, when given permission, to send the user information, promotions or other material from FightingArts.com or its affiliates. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings.

Any general information collected from children under age 15 is used only for statistical analysis, editorial participation, feedback and e-mail Newsletter list purposes. FightingArts.com does not give children's personal information to third parties, regardless of whether children choose to allow us to disseminate their personal information for promotional opportunities. This also includes information obtained from special contests and/or promotional opportunities on our site. Where children are allowed to participate in a contest, our rules may require that they provide their parent or guardian's e-mail address so that, if the child wins, we can notify the parent or guardian. This policy only applies, of course, for users who advise us that they are under age 15.

Demographic and interests profile data is used to tailor the visitors' experience at our site -- to show them content that we think they might be interested in, or to display the content according to their preferences. This information may be shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis. Specific visitor information, however, is not made available to advertisers.

User Internet Provider (IP) information may be used to help diagnose problems with our server and/or to administer our site. Additionally your IP address is used to help develop broad statistical demographic and other information that is used internally and may be shared with advertisers and other business partners.

We also use an Internet technology called "cookies," which are small computer files sent to your computer and later retrieved, to help track and measure patterns of use, keep track of your shopping cart and to help automate the log-in process for forum members. This information helps us better correlate you wants and needs with the content and services we provide for you.

Third party advertisements displayed on our site may also contain cookies that are collected by the third party advertisers, their ad agency, other third parties or their representatives, and we do not have access to this information. Please note that your browsers may allow you to control the kind of cookies you accept or whether you allow acceptance of cookies. Please refer to your particular Internet browser for instructions, if available, if you wish to disable cookies.

FightingArts.com does not sell, give or otherwise offer your personal information to third parties or other site participants without your consent. FightingArts.com, however, does reserve the right to disclose personal information if required to do so by judicial, law enforcement or other governmental authorities.

FightingArts.com provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications, our Newsletter or special offers from us or our partners at the point where we request visitor information. FightingArts.com's Newsletter and other special communications or offers also provide a simple method for opting out of receiving any further communications. You may also send an email to webmaster@FightingArts.com requesting that you be removed from our database or Newsletter list.

FightingArts.com provides order forms for customers to purchase goods from our e-store. The order form collects visitors' contact information and is used to allow us to send orders and to get in touch with purchasers when and if necessary. The user's credit card number is captured over a secure connection in order to process the transaction. We do not receive or store credit card numbers on our server.

This site contains links to other sites. FightingArts.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

FightingArts.com is not responsible for the dissemination of confidential information by you through your participation in chat or forum profiles or postings. Use caution in supplying personal information to the chat or forums functions or Feedback. Visitors, however, are free to request anonymity when e-mailing to Feedback.

Users may be held legally liable for the content of their chat sessions and forum entries. FightingArts.com reserves the right to reveal confidential information as required by law or legal process, or as deemed necessary by FightingArts.com to endeavor to stop or investigate suspected illegal conduct by users.

Any information, drawings, diagrams or photos supplied to FightingArts.com may be publicly displayed (see Terms of Use).

FightingArts.com reserves the right to amend or change these guidelines at any time and without notice.

If you know of any other important privacy or security issues related to this site we should consider, please contact us. We would like to hear from you. Thank you for being a part of FightingArts.com.
