Compliance Note

This policy is written to align with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and is appropriate for a small martial arts academy operating in Ontario. If your website uses tools such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or online booking software (e.g. Mindbody), it’s a good idea to specifically disclose those services in this policy and, where required, obtain appropriate consent through a cookie banner.
