Some cookies may be necessary for the Website to function properly.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies will be used based on appropriate consent.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may prevent some Website features from working correctly.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in an email or by contacting info@taichihubusa.com.

We may still send non-promotional communications where necessary to operate your account, process a listing claim, manage a transaction, provide security notices, respond to your request, or provide other important service information.

14. Leads and Provider Communications

TaiChiHubUSA.com may allow users to contact listed providers through inquiry forms, lead forms, or similar features.

If you submit an inquiry associated with a provider, information contained in that inquiry may be shared with or made accessible to the relevant provider so that the provider can respond.

This information may include your name, email address, telephone number, message, or other information you choose to submit.

Once information has been provided to an independent provider, that provider may process the information under its own privacy practices and legal obligations.

Tai Chi Hub USA does not control how independent providers handle information after they receive it, except to the extent required by applicable law or our agreements with them.

15. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell or rent personal information in the ordinary meaning of those terms.

Service Providers

We may share information with providers that help us operate, host, maintain, secure, analyze, process payments for, and support TaiChiHubUSA.com.

16. We Do Not Sell Personal Information

Tai Chi Hub USA does not sell personal information for monetary compensation.

If our practices change in a manner that constitutes a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under applicable U.S. state privacy laws, we will provide any legally required notices, disclosures, and opt-out mechanisms.

17. Directory Listings and Third-Party Providers

TaiChiHubUSA.com provides information about independent Tai Chi instructors, schools, organizations, classes, programs, venues, and other providers.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, providers listed on TaiChiHubUSA.com are independent third parties and are not employees, agents, partners, representatives, or affiliates of Tai Chi Hub USA.

When you click a provider's website, booking link, social profile, Google Maps page, registration page, or another external link, you may leave our Website or interact with an independent third party.

Any information you provide directly to that third party is governed by the third party's own privacy practices rather than this Privacy Policy.

18. Public Submissions

Information submitted for inclusion in a public directory listing may become publicly visible.

Before submitting listing information, you should ensure that you have the right to provide it and that information intended to remain private is not included.

If you submit information relating to another person, instructor, employee, organization, or business, you represent that you have an appropriate basis to provide that information.

19. Reviews and User Content

TaiChiHubUSA.com may allow users to submit reviews, ratings, comments, images, responses, or other content.

Information submitted through public review or content features may be publicly visible.

Do not include private, confidential, sensitive, or unnecessary personal information in publicly accessible submissions.

We may moderate, remove, restrict, or investigate user content where reasonably necessary to prevent spam, fraud, abuse, unlawful content, privacy violations, or violations of our Terms of Use.

20. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

This may include retaining information to:

  • administer paid subscriptions;
  • process transactions;
  • respond to inquiries;
  • resolve disputes;

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or de-identify it, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Public business listing information may remain available while we reasonably believe the listing remains relevant and appropriate for the directory.

21. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

These measures may include access controls, secure hosting infrastructure, encrypted connections, authentication measures, backups, monitoring, and other appropriate safeguards.

However, no website, internet transmission, database, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If you believe information associated with TaiChiHubUSA.com has been compromised, please contact us at info@taichihubusa.com.

22. International Data Transfers

TaiChiHubUSA.com may use service providers that operate in different countries.

As a result, information may be stored or processed in countries other than the country in which you live, including the United States or countries within the European Economic Area.

26. Do Not Track and Preference Signals

Some browsers provide a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signal.

Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, our Website may not respond to all browser-based DNT requests.

Where applicable law requires recognition of legally specified browser-based opt-out preference signals, we will handle those signals as required by law.

27. Children's Privacy

TaiChiHubUSA.com is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us at info@taichihubusa.com.

If we determine that such information was collected in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

28. Third-Party Websites and Services

TaiChiHubUSA.com may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, maps, registration systems, booking services, payment providers, organizations, instructors, studios, recreation departments, community centers, or other external resources.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, content, or data practices of independent third-party websites or services.

A link appearing on TaiChiHubUSA.com does not mean that we control or endorse the privacy practices of the linked service.

You should review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information to them.

29. Data Breach Response

If we become aware of a personal data breach affecting information for which notification is required by applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the incident, mitigate potential harm, and provide legally required notifications to affected individuals or authorities within applicable timeframes.

30. Requests Concerning Directory Information

If you are an instructor, business owner, authorized representative, or other individual associated with a listing on TaiChiHubUSA.com, you may use the Website's available claim, account, editing, or correction features to manage relevant listing information.

If those tools do not resolve the issue, you may contact info@taichihubusa.com.

Please include enough information to identify the relevant listing and explain the requested change.

We may request reasonable verification before making certain changes in order to prevent fraudulent or unauthorized listing modifications.

A request does not necessarily require us to remove information that we are legally entitled to retain or publish, including accurate publicly available information, but we will review valid privacy and accuracy concerns in accordance with applicable law.

31. Accuracy of Public Directory Information

We take reasonable steps to provide useful and accurate directory information, but information regarding third-party providers may change without notice.

Providers may change addresses, telephone numbers, schedules, prices, services, websites, personnel, or other information.
