Your privacy is important to us and we want you to know what we do with your data when you use our site or communicate with us. Our intent is to ensure the safety of the information in our care and to maintain the privacy of our customers through sensible, appropriate, and responsible use thereof.

However, please keep in mind that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

This Privacy Policy sets out details of the information that we may collect from you and how we may use that information. This Privacy Policy should be read alongside, and in addition to, the Terms and the Cookies Policy. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used have the same meaning as in the Terms.

This Privacy Policy applies only to your use of the Website and Courses and Content. Third Parties found on the Website may also gather information and you should consult those other parties’ privacy policies as appropriate and applicable.

We may also ask you for information when you report a problem with the Website or the Courses and Content.

To register or make a purchase on the Website, we ask for your personal information (e.g. name, email address, physical address). As part of your User profile you may also provide your location and other personal information that will help other learners get to know you and help us to tailor the service to suit you. When you make a purchase, our payment service provider, will collect and process your credit card or other payment details. If you contact us, we may also keep a record of that correspondence.

We may also collect data relating to your visits to the Website that cannot identify you but records your use of our Website and Courses and Content including, for example, details of how long you have used the Website, Course, or Content, or in which stage of a Course you are engaged.

We may also collect your computer’s IP address in order to help us tailor the service to your location.

If you elect to verify your identity through our Website, our identity verification partner will receive directly from you, process and store your personal information and identity documentation for this purpose. Our identity verification partner may store your information for a maximum of 5 days for the sole purpose of resolving user support issues. Upon successful verification of your identity, we will store only the name given on your identification documentation.

Finally, we may receive information about you from third parties (such as credit reference agencies) who are legally entitled to disclose that information.

Cookies

We may send cookies to your computer in order to uniquely identify your browser and to improve the quality of our service. The term “cookies” refers to small text documents, which often include an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them). You have the ability to accept or decline cookies using your web browser settings. If you choose to disable cookies, some areas of the Site may not work properly or at all.

Use of Your Information

By accessing the Website via any means, using the Courses and Content, registering or posting notes, assignments or other material, providing comments via the feedback tab, or making a purchase via the Website, you agree that your personal information may be collected, stored, used, and shared by us and our partners, course and content providers, or third parties we work with, for any of the following purposes:

Storage of Information

All information is stored on secure servers. When you register, we will ask you to choose a password that enables you to access the Courses and Content. You are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share this password with anyone.

In addition, we (or third parties acting on our behalf) may also store or process information that we collect about you globally, in countries that may have different standards of data protection than the one in which you are a resident. Our third party service providers operate globally. We have put in place technical and organizational security measures to prevent the loss of or unauthorized access to your personal information. However, although we have used reasonable efforts to ensure the security of your data, please be aware that we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the Internet.

Legal Basis for Processing Your Information

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (i) where we have your consent to do so, (ii) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or (iii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to complete a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as the possible consequences if you do not provide your information).

Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose your personal information to third parties when permitted by law with your consent in the following situations:

To our suppliers in order for them to help us provide our services to you, including:

Our provider of customer relationship management services (which allows us, for example, to send personalized email communications to you)
Our provider of file storage and management services if you email us directly

Our identity verification partner to verify your identity when you choose to select this option
Where you have agreed, to our refer-a-friend scheme provider, solely to enable your participation in the refer-a-friend program

This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Data Retention

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Your Rights

You can edit your personal details via your profile page whenever you wish. We maintain a procedure in order to help you confirm that your personal information remains correct and up-to-date or choose whether or not you wish to receive material from us or from our partners.

Similarly, if we have collected and processed your personal information on the basis of your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Registration & Accounts

Account Creation

Any Visitor can view the Website, but in order to participate fully in all activities on the Website and take part in the Content and Courses, you must register for a personal account on the Website (“User Account”) by providing your name, email address, username, password and other personal information that will help us other Users get to know you and to help us tailor the services to suite you.

You agree that any registration information you provide to DojoCho.org is and will continue to be accurate, current, and complete at all times and that you will maintain and update your information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

You must not impersonate someone else or provide account information for an email address other than your own. Your account must not be used for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Site or the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction. You agree that you will never divulge or share access or your access information to your User Account with any third party for any reason.

By registering with DojoCho.org for a User Account, you agree that you are and will continue to be registered for the Website only once, that you will not set up multiple Learner Accounts. And you will not let anyone else use your Learner Account.

Code of Conduct

The Social Sharing component of the DojoCho.org courses is an opportunity to talk to other learners from around the world and to learn from each other. Being a part of this learning community means behaving with honesty, respect and kindness to fellow learners and educators. Therefore you agree that:

You are at least 18 years of age.
You will communicate in English, the specified language of the course, in order to streamline communication between different people.
Your Username does not impersonate another person (living or dead), other users, or brands.
You are solely responsible for sharing your personal contact information or asking for that of others. (We consider personal contact details to include email address, postal address or telephone number, or direct communication tools such as Skype, FaceTime, Messenger or Snapchat.) It is fine to provide links to a social network such as Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter or Facebook, but please make sure you are happy with your privacy settings before you do.
You will be respectful of others and will not use words or share content that is infringing, obscene, pornographic, offensive, threatening or inflammatory, including, but not limited to: language, names or content that is sexist, racist, Anti-Semitic, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive, contains swearing or is otherwise improper or likely to cause offense. Remember that you are in an inclusive learning environment shared with people who may be of different ages, nationalities, religions, cultures, and backgrounds, with different knowledge, ability and experience from yours. Communicating online through text can lead to misunderstandings, so it is important to give other people the benefit of the doubt, and be kind in your interactions: sometimes it’s difficult to know or fully appreciate the situation of the person you’re talking to.
You will discuss ideas rather than criticize or attack someone personally if you do not agree with what they are saying. We consider a personal attack to be any negative comment directed to or about an individual that is about them personally or uses personal information against them. This applies to comments directed at educators and course contributors, as well as learners, for example comments about the physical appearance of a contributor in a video.
If a comment is believed to be libelous, it may be hidden by DojoCho.org.
You are law-abiding and do not participate in, condone, or encourage unlawful or potentially harmful activity. This includes threatening or encouraging suicide or self-harm, as well as breach of copyright, defamation, or contempt of court.
You must not offer unsolicited health or legal advice to other learners, unless you are qualified and licensed in that area.
You will not use the Site as a platform for advertising non-Aikido or non-dojo management products or services or a platform for campaigning of any kind. It is fine to include a link to your personal website in your profile.
You add to conversations and not “spam” other users by posting the same comment multiple times or by posting comments that are unrelated to the course. Completely off-topic comments and identical (or near-identical) comments posted repeatedly will be considered spam.
You will not upload viruses or harmful components.
You will support a comfortable, safe, and open community by reporting comments that you believe have broken this Code of Conduct.

If you ask for a refund beyond that time period you will not be granted a refund. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Recurring payments (subscriptions) are not refundable unless they fall within the three-day guarantee period (e.g. three days from the date of monthly/annual renewal). If they fall outside of the three-day guarantee period the cancellation will take effect on the next payment due date (either monthly or annually).
Access to all content terminates when the refund is processed.
Refund requests should be e-mailed to staff@dojocho.org with the word “Refund” in the subject line. A refund will be issued only to the same email address, credit card, and or PayPal account that was used to make the purchase and may take up to 30 days to process.
DojCho.org will generally process refund requests within three days after they are received.

Miscellaneous
