Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 10, 2026
This policy covers Lolakana Martial Arts, 1855 Blanshard St, Victoria, BC. It applies to everything we collect, on this website and at the gym. We follow British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).
What we collect
When you fill in our website form, we collect names, ages and email addresses. That’s yours, and your kids’ if you’re signing them up.
When you sign up at the gym, we collect what’s on our waiver. That includes emergency contact details and any health or injury information you give us.
When you visit the website, Google Analytics collects information like which pages you visit, how long you stay, your browser and device and your rough location.
Why we collect it
We use it to answer your questions and get you into class. We also use it to keep membership and waiver records, to reach the right person fast if someone gets hurt and to see how people use the website so we can make it better.
Photos and video
We take photos and video in class and post some of them on social media. You give consent for this in your waiver. If you change your mind, email us and we’ll stop posting photos or video of you.
Kids
Kids don’t give us information directly. A parent or guardian fills in the form and signs the waiver for them.
Who else handles it
We don’t sell your information.
We use outside services to run the business, and they handle some of your information on our behalf:
- BJJLink, our membership software, holds member records and waivers.
- Google Workspace runs our email.
- Google Analytics measures website traffic.
- We use artificial intelligence (AI) tools in our day-to-day work, and information you send us may be processed by them.
Some of these services store information outside Canada, including in the United States, where the laws of that country apply to it.
Otherwise, we only share your information when the law requires it or you’ve agreed to it.
Cookies
Google Analytics uses cookies. You can block cookies in your browser settings, or install Google’s opt-out add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
How long we keep it
We keep your information for as long as we need it for the reason we collected it, or as long as the law requires. Then we delete it.
Keeping it safe
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. No system is perfect, though.
Your rights
You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it or withdraw your consent. If you withdraw consent, we may not be able to keep offering some services. Email hello@lolakana.com.
If you’re not happy with how we handle a request, you can complain to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia at oipc.bc.ca.
Changes
When things change, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
