About Red Tiger Karate Club

Red Tiger Karate is a community Karate Club based in the North West of England that works to encourage as many people as possible to become involved in Shotokan Karate and become physically active. Our office is based at 39 Moorside Rd, Tottington, Bury. BL8 3HP.

Like all other organisations who collect and use personal data we are subject to the requirements set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We take our responsibility to look after personal data very seriously and we ensure that respecting privacy is at the heart of all we do.

Red Tiger Karate Club is working with the English Karate Federation to process membership applications and license students to practise Shotokan Karate. Both parties work as data processors and data controllers. A copy of the English Karate Federations Privacy Policy can be found here:
