Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy outlines Virginia Dojo (“we”, “our” or “the Company”) practices with respect to information collected from users who access our website at https://www.robertoshidokan.com (“Site”), or otherwise share personal information with us (collectively: “Users”). Google asks we post this information on our website. It is a form where we fill in the blanks. I don’t know about any of this technical stuff. We don’t collect and compile information. We write your information down on a scrap of paper after initially contacting you. On good months we remember where that scrap of paper is located so we can follow up with a second text or email.

We have yet to locate a marketing company willing to pay us lots of money, or even any money, for our 12/15, ok, maybe 20 leads because they won’t accept just scraps of paper! Imagine, they want us to write all this stuff down and put it in a spread sheet with thousands of contacts. Who’s got time for that?

We train in Adult Self Defense Martial Art Karate. Whether a man or woman, if you are interested in the Art of Self Defense Karate, Women’s Self Defense or Jiu Jitsu we have classes for you. The rest of this document contains legaleeze that your lawyer will appreciate, yet I have no clue what it all means.

What information we collect?

We collect the information you give us, like name, phone number and email address.

How do we receive information about you?

When you voluntarily provide us your personal details in order to register on our Site;

We do not rent, sell, or share Users’ information with third parties.

How we use information

We collect your name, email and phone so we can communicate with you once or twice to remind you to come to class. Industry experts say we should communicate with you 4 or 5 times. We agree! Yet we usually forget to do it.

We have a trusty, highly technical system where we write your information down on a scrap piece of paper after initially contacting you. After the initial contact you may never hear from us again, not because we don’t like you, but because we misplace the scrap of paper with your information on it, or we can’t read the damn chicken scratches!

Sometimes we remember where we put the scrap of paper with your information on it and may send you a follow up text or email to come visit months after you initially contacted us. Sometimes we misplace the scrap of paper. Other times, we just forget to follow up.

User Rights

You may request to receive confirmation as to whether or not personal information concerning you is being processed, access your stored personal information, receive a copy of personal information you directly volunteer to us, request rectification or erasure of your personal information, object to processing, request restriction of processing, or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

However, please note that these rights are not absolute, and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements and whether we can find the piece of paper where we wrote your information.

Retention

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies or until we clean our office of all the loose scraps of paper not realizing the illegible chicken scratches are valuable contact information.

We may rectify, replenish or remove incomplete or inaccurate information, at any time and at our own discretion or unexpectedly throw it out in a flurry of activity to clean up the office.

Cookies

We collect cookies because we like them. Especially chocolate chip cookies. Christmas cookies with frosting is good, too. However, we don’t maintain them for long because we eat them.

How do we safeguard your information?

We take great care in implementing and maintaining the security of the Site and your information. We admit that if someone can enter our office and pile up all the scraps of paper they may find your name, phone and email if they can read the writing. I can’t read the writing on stuff I wrote, so good luck to them.
