Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run AHT, and only what they need:
- Stripe processes payments. We never see or store your full card number.
- Our fulfillment partners (including our merchandise fulfillment center and our product maker) receive your name, shipping address, phone number and the items to ship, and shipping carriers receive what they need to deliver.
- Supabase hosts our database and account sign-in. Vercel hosts the website.
- Resend delivers our emails. Mux hosts and streams our video courses and class videos.
- Our instructors see the roster details for the classes they teach.
- We may also disclose information when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of AHT, our students or others.
Embedded content
Some pages include videos and posts from YouTube and Instagram, and reviews from Google. When you view them, those services may collect information under their own privacy policies.
How long we keep it
We keep order, course and certificate records for as long as needed to provide our services, honor course credits and warranties, and meet tax and legal requirements. You can ask us to delete information we no longer need.
Your choices and rights
- Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any email.
- Ask to access, correct or delete your personal information by emailing support@achillesheeltactical.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state law, and we will honor them.
Security
We use encryption in transit, access controls and reputable providers to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and contact us if you suspect a problem.
Visitors outside the United States
AHT is a United States business. Our courses, events and products are offered to people in the United States, and merchandise ships only to U.S. addresses. Our website and service providers store and process information in the United States. If you visit from another country, your information will be handled in the United States under U.S. law and this policy.
Children
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

We may update this policy as our services change. We'll post the new version here with its effective date.
