This policy explains what information the Qiang Shan Ba Gua Zhang Association collects through ba-gua.org, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us
We collect personal information only when you choose to send it to us:
- Request forms: your name, email address and any comments you send.
- Camp registration: details such as your name, contact information, mailing address, age, teacher, student category, T-shirt size and how you plan to pay.
- Camp waivers: your name, mailing address, contact information and typed signature.
We use this information to answer you, to connect you with an instructor, to run our camps and events, and to keep the Association’s records.
Payments
Camp payments made by card are processed by Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe, and we do not store your card number.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our server records each request it receives, including your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. We use these records to keep the site secure and working properly, and to see which articles are read most.
The site also uses cookies and similar tools:
- Google Analytics shows us how visitors use the site, such as which pages they read.
- The Meta Pixel reports visits and certain actions on the site to Meta, the company behind Facebook, which helps us understand how people find us.
- Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a form is being sent by a person and not an automated program.
- YouTube may set its own cookies when you watch a video shown on the site.
- Our cookie notice remembers the choices you make about cookies.
You can use the cookie notice on this site to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and your browser’s settings to block or delete cookies. Some parts of the site may not work properly without them. Google also offers a browser add-on that opts you out of Google Analytics.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to help you or to run the site:
- with Association officers and instructors, so that they can respond to you or run an event
- with the companies named above, and with the services that deliver our email and host our site
- when the law requires it, or when it is needed to protect you, other visitors or the site
Keeping your information safe
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. No website or email is completely secure, so please think carefully before sending anything sensitive.
Other websites
This site links to other websites, including those of our instructors. This policy does not cover them, so please read their own policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
