Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 01, 2025
Last Updated: November 25, 2025

Distinct Defense Solutions LLC (“Distinct Defense,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, Distinct-Defense.com (“Website”), and when you engage with our services, including training programs, ticketed events, newsletters, forms, and communications.

By accessing our Website or providing your information, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you sign up for profiles, classes, events, newsletters, or contact us, we may collect:

Name
Email address
Phone number
Event or class registration details
Newsletter subscription information
Signed waiver and release of liability forms
Other information voluntarily submitted through forms or inquiries

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

Our Website may automatically collect limited technical information, including:

IP address

Device and operating system information
Pages visited and site usage behavior

(Note: WIX automatically collects certain technical data as part of its hosting platform.)

1.3 Payment Information

At this time, all payments for training and events are collected in person (cash or digital). No payment information is stored on the Website.

If online payments are added in the future (e.g., via WIX Payments or another third-party processor), that provider—not Distinct Defense—will process and store payment information in accordance with its own privacy policies. This Privacy Policy will be updated before online payment processing is enabled.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use collected information to:

Create and manage student/member profiles
Register users for classes and ticketed events
Send confirmations, reminders, and relevant updates
Provide newsletters, announcements, and promotional content
Communicate about training, scheduling, or support
Maintain and verify waiver and liability documentation
Improve Website functionality and user experience
Meet legal, safety, and regulatory requirements

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share information only in the following circumstances:

3.1 Service Providers

If we use third-party tools (e.g., WIX Payments, email delivery platforms, or scheduling software), those providers may access limited information solely to perform services on our behalf.

3.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

3.3 Business Operations

If Distinct Defense undergoes a business transition such as ownership change or asset transfer, customer information may be included in transferred assets.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

WIX may use cookies, web beacons, and session tracking tools to support Website functionality and analytics.

You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings; however, some features of the Website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

5. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable measures to safeguard your personal information, including:

Secure WIX-hosted infrastructure
Limited internal access to personal data
Secure storage of physical and digital waiver forms
No storage of financial or card information on our servers

Despite these efforts, no online service can guarantee complete security. You use the Website at your own risk.

6. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect, store, or solicit personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.
