5. Public business pages
6. Public directories
7. Other publicly accessible online sources

FIGHTO.map may use publicly available information to create a listing when a club, instructor, organization, or business has not yet registered on the platform.

The purpose is to make the directory more useful and help users discover existing martial arts clubs and instructors.

For users in jurisdictions where applicable data protection law requires additional information about data obtained indirectly, we identify publicly accessible sources as a potential source of information. GDPR Article 14 specifically addresses information collected from sources other than the data subject, including publicly accessible sources.

1. Club owners
2. Instructors
3. Club representatives
4. Federation representatives
5. Manufacturers
6. Other authorized representatives

Information provided directly may be used to create, update, verify, or maintain a public listing.

Certain information contained in a club, instructor, federation, organization, or manufacturer listing may be publicly visible.

Depending on the listing, this may include:

1. Name
2. Club name
3. Instructor name
4. Country
5. City
6. Training location
7. Public contact information
8. Training schedule

17. Verification status

Users should not publish personal information that they do not want to make publicly available.

7. Claiming an Existing Listing

A club or instructor may already appear on FIGHTO.map before the owner or instructor creates an account.

This may happen when the listing was created by FIGHTO.map administration using publicly available information.

If you find your club or instructor profile on FIGHTO.map, you may request access to the existing listing.

Claim Listing

The owner, instructor, or authorized representative may:

1. Find the existing listing.
2. Select Claim Listing.
3. Create or sign in to a FIGHTO.map account.
4. Provide information required to demonstrate their connection with the club or listing.
5. Complete the verification process if requested.
6. Connect the existing listing to their account after approval.

Claiming a listing does not create a duplicate club page.

Once approved, the authorized account may manage and update the existing listing according to FIGHTO.map rules.

FIGHTO.map may request additional information to verify that a person is authorized to manage a particular listing.

8. Correcting or Updating Information

If you believe information displayed on FIGHTO.map is incorrect, outdated, incomplete, or misleading, you may contact us and request a correction.

Requests may be submitted by:

1. The club owner
2. The instructor
3. An authorized representative
4. The person concerned
5. Another person with a legitimate reason to report inaccurate information

We may request additional information before making changes.

Where appropriate, information may be corrected, updated, restricted, or removed.

9. Requesting Removal of Information

You may request that information about you, your club, or your organization be removed from FIGHTO.map.

Requests can be sent to:

info(@)fighto-map.com

Please provide enough information for us to identify the relevant listing or information.

Where the request concerns personal data, we will assess the request under applicable data protection law.

Where information is required to remain available for a legitimate legal reason, we may retain it or restrict its use instead of deleting it.

The right to erasure is not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions. Under GDPR Article 17, erasure applies in specified circumstances and includes exceptions where retention is necessary for certain legal purposes.

10. Account Information

If you create a FIGHTO.map account, we may collect and process information necessary to create and manage your account.

This may include:

1. Name
2. Email address
3. Password
4. Account preferences
5. Profile information
6. Listings connected to your account
7. Account activity
8. Subscription information

We use this information to provide account functionality and manage your relationship with FIGHTO.map.

11. Account Deletion and Personal Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your FIGHTO.map account and associated personal data.

Where the account deletion function is available, you may delete your account directly through your account settings.

You may also submit a deletion request to:

info(@)fighto-map.com

What happens when an account is deleted?

We will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize personal information associated with the account.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

1. Account information
2. Login information
3. Personal contact information
4. Profile information
5. Account preferences
6. Personal data associated with the account

If the account manages a club, instructor, or manufacturer listing, account deletion may also affect access to that listing.

Deletion of an account does not necessarily mean that every public listing associated with the account will automatically disappear.

A public listing may remain on FIGHTO.map where it contains information that is not personal data, where the information was independently sourced from publicly available information, or where another lawful basis for retaining or displaying the information applies.

You may separately request removal or correction of information contained in a public listing.

12. Information That We May Retain

Some information may need to be retained even after an account is deleted.

This may include information necessary for:

1. Legal compliance
2. Accounting and tax obligations
3. Fraud prevention
4. Security
5. Dispute resolution
6. Enforcement of our agreements
7. Establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims

Where information must be retained, we will limit its use to the purpose for which it is retained.

13. Why We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

1. Create and manage accounts
2. Provide FIGHTO.map services
3. Manage club and instructor listings
4. Process listing claims
5. Verify account and listing ownership
6. Process subscriptions
7. Provide customer support
8. Respond to requests for correction or removal
9. Maintain platform security

Where applicable, particularly for users in the European Economic Area, we may process personal data based on the following legal grounds:

Contract

Where processing is necessary to provide a service requested by you, such as creating an account or providing a paid subscription.

Consent

Where you have provided consent for a specific purpose, such as certain optional cookies or marketing communications.

15. Publicly Available Information and Legitimate Interests

FIGHTO.map may use information that is already publicly available to create or maintain directory listings.

The purpose is to help users discover martial arts clubs, instructors, and organizations.

For example, if a martial arts club publicly publishes its website, social media profile, location, training schedule, or contact information, FIGHTO.map may use relevant publicly available information to create or update a directory listing.

This does not mean that FIGHTO.map claims ownership of that information.

Where a person or organization has a legitimate concern about information displayed on the platform, they may contact us to request correction, restriction, or removal.

16. Location Information

Location information is an important part of FIGHTO.map.

Club and training locations may be publicly displayed as part of a listing.

We may also process approximate technical location information, such as location inferred from an IP address, for security, analytics, localization, or platform functionality.

Where a user explicitly grants permission to access device location, that information may be used to provide location-based features.

FIGHTO.map uses cookies and similar technologies.

These may be used for:

1. Essential website functionality
2. Account sessions
3. Security
4. Language preferences
5. User preferences
6. Analytics

2. Security notifications
3. Subscription and billing information

Where personal data is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable law.

For users in the European Economic Area, this may include an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, or another legally recognized transfer mechanism.

24. Data Retention
