PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated 3-25-2021
Portland Academy of Self Defense strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to
the terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any
unauthorized third party. Period.
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which
you elect to participate, and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide
information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain
features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you
participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas
of our site. Like most Web sites, Portlandselfdefense.com also collects information automatically
and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may
log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold
information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your username and password,
sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number
of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional
technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not
to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but
if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your
username and password, and we may not be able to customize the site’s features according to your
preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more
individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information
with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways.
For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained
from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most
or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally
Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on portlandselfdefense.com to communicate
with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy
policy; services and products offered by Portlandselfdefense.com and other topics we think you might
find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by portlandselfdefense.com may also be used for other
purposes, including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of
e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with
you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web
hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use your information only as
permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may
sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user
information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response
to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in
connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities
whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior
to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Portlandselfdefense.com expects its partners, advertisers, and affiliates to respect the privacy of
our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates,
and other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data
collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or
view as part of a frame on a portlandselfdefense.com page, certain content that is created or hosted
by a third party. Also, through Portlandselfdefense.com you may be introduced to, or be able to
access, information, Web sites, features, contests, or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
Portlandselfdefense.com is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a
feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or
other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you.
For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable
the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features
available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other
technology to gather information. portlandselfdefense.com does not control the use of this
technology by third parties or the resulting information and is not responsible for any actions or
policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on
message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and
used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other
individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Portlandselfdefense.com and
this policy.
Children
portlandselfdefense.com does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable Information
from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any
information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that information
immediately. If you believe portlandselfdefense.com has any information from or about anyone under
13, please contact us at the address listed below.

Changes to this Policy
portlandselfdefense.com reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page
periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site following the posting of changes to these
terms will mean you accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time any change is
posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information was
collected.
Governing law
This policy and the use of this Site and These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the laws of United States without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of
those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the
remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire
agreement between us regarding our Service and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might
have between us regarding the Service.
