Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 September 2026

This policy was drafted from information provided by the site owner. One detail is marked [CONFIRM] below because it was not yet verified — please confirm it (and have this page reviewed by a qualified advisor before launch, as this is not legal advice).

1. Who We Are

This website is operated by Don Grace Jiu Jitsu (previously trading as Scuffle Jiujitsu), a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy based at 31a Sincil Street, Lincoln, LN5 7ET, United Kingdom.

[CONFIRM] Legal trading status: please confirm whether Don Grace Jiu Jitsu operates as a sole trader, partnership or registered company, and provide a company registration number if applicable, so this section can be finalised.

For any question about this policy or your personal data, contact us at scuffljiujitsu@gmail.com or by phone on 07789 207613.

2. What Data We Collect

We only collect personal data that you choose to give us, primarily through the contact/enquiry form on this website:

Full name
Email address
Phone number
Any message or details you include (for example, about a child you are enquiring on behalf of)

We also automatically collect limited technical data via Google Analytics when you browse the site — see Section 5 (Cookies & Analytics).

3. Why We Use Your Data

We use the information you submit solely to:

Respond to your enquiry and arrange your free trial class or membership;
Communicate with you about classes, schedule changes, or academy updates you have asked about;
Keep a record of enquiries for our own administration.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Our Legal Basis For Processing

Under UK GDPR, we rely on:

Consent — you tick a consent checkbox before submitting the contact form;
Legitimate interest — replying to enquiries you have voluntarily sent us.

You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us; this will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We keep data sharing to a minimum:

Google Forms — the "Register Now" button on this website links to our Google Form (new member welcome, membership fees, physical activity questionnaire and consent), hosted and submitted entirely on Google's platform. Your responses are stored in our Google account in accordance with Google's own Privacy Policy. We do not forward this data to any CRM or marketing platform.
Google Analytics — we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this website (pages viewed, general location, device type). Google may process this data in accordance with its own Privacy Policy. Analytics data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

6. Cookies & Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics cookies to collect anonymised usage statistics. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, or opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. Data Retention

We retain enquiry data only for as long as needed to respond to you and, if you join the academy, to administer your membership. If you do not proceed, we delete enquiry emails within a reasonable period upon request.

8. Children's Data

Our Kids & Juniors program is for students under 18. Enquiries or registrations for a child must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian, who provides the consent described in Section 4 on the child's behalf.

9. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you;
Request correction of inaccurate data;
Request deletion of your data;
Withdraw consent at any time;
Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been mishandled.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at scuffljiujitsu@gmail.com.

10. Changes To This Policy

We may update this policy as the website or our data practices change (for example, if we start using a CRM in future). The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
