Privacy Policy

Collecting of personal information

Movement Martial Arts will not collect or monitor any personal information about an individual without their consent.

The only personal information collected is what is provided voluntarily by a member or prospective member.

We collect personal information primarily to enable us to provide members with our services. Movement Martial Arts may also use the information for marketing to you or for any other purpose permitted under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

You don’t need to identify yourself when you deal with us (e.g. to find out more about membership packages) however in certain situations we will only deal with individuals who have identified themselves to us.

When a membership or product is purchased personal information will be requested in order to provide the requested service or product, provide updated information, and advise of other Movement Martial Arts products, which may be of interest.

You are not obligated to provide personal information however failure to do so may result in Movement Martial Arts being unable to provide services or products to you.

Personal information is collected directly from members or potential future members when they personally complete and submit an application form to become a member of Movement Martial Arts. This can be done in person at our gym, or on the phone via one of our Membership Consultants.
