Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 11, 2026

OpenMatIndex is a directory of martial arts gyms and training locations. This notice explains what information we collect through the website, how we use it, and how you can contact us about it.

Information you provide

When you contact us, suggest a gym, request a listing correction, or ask to receive updates, you may provide a name, email address, phone number, gym information, and details about your request. Current submission forms may send this information to our team by email so we can review and respond.

Do not send private financial information, government ID numbers, or other sensitive personal information through these forms.

Gym listings

The directory may display publicly available business details, including gym names, addresses, business websites, contact information, disciplines, and other training-related information. Some information comes from public sources and some may be provided by gym representatives. You can request a correction or removal of inaccurate listing information by contacting us.

Technical and usage information

Like most websites, OpenMatIndex and its service providers may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser and device details, pages visited, and diagnostic logs. We use hosting, caching, security, and analytics-related tools to help operate, protect, and understand the website. Cookies or similar technologies may be used for these purposes. Some pages also load fonts or other resources from third-party services.

How we use information

We use information to operate and improve the directory, review submissions and corrections, respond to inquiries, maintain listing quality, prevent abuse, and provide updates when requested. Information may be processed by service providers that support our hosting, email, analytics, and website operations, or disclosed when legally required.

External websites

OpenMatIndex links to independent gym websites, social profiles, and other services. Those sites have their own privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information to them.

Retention and requests

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed to review requests, operate the directory, maintain records, and meet applicable obligations. You can contact us to ask about information you submitted, correct a listing, or request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable requirements.

Children

OpenMatIndex is a general-audience directory and is not intended to collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us.

Updates to this notice

We may update this notice when the site’s features or information practices change. The updated date will appear at the top of this page.
