Who We Serve

HYR Grappling is a kids-only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy serving children and teens ages 7 to 17. All registrations, account activity, and communications go through a parent or legal guardian. We do not collect information directly from minor students except through their registered parent or guardian's account. When this Privacy Policy refers to "you," it generally means the parent or guardian who registered on behalf of a minor.

Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Because HYR Grappling exclusively serves children and teens, all student-related information is collected only through, and with verifiable consent of, a parent or legal guardian, consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We collect a minor's information solely for class enrollment, safety, emergency contact, and program administration — never for behavioral advertising or third-party marketing.

Parents and guardians have the right to:

• Review the personal information collected about their child
• Refuse further collection or use of their child's information
• Request deletion of their child's information at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us using the information at the bottom of this page. We never knowingly collect personal information from a child without a parent or guardian's verified consent, and we never sell or share children's information with third parties for marketing purposes.

California Privacy Rights

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what data is collected, request deletion, and opt out of data sales. Contact us to exercise these rights.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the "Last Updated" date above.
