HorseJunkie.com (“Horse Junkie“) operates HorseJunkie.com and may operate other websites. It is Horse Junkie’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Horse Junkie collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Horse Junkie’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Horse Junkie’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Horse Junkie may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Horse Junkie also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on horse-junkie.local blogs/sites. Horse Junkie only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Horse Junkie’s websites choose to interact with Horse Junkie in ways that require Horse Junkie to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Horse Junkie gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we may ask visitors to provide a username and email address. Those who may engage in transactions with Horse Junkie are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Horse Junkie collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Horse Junkie. Horse Junkie does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Horse Junkie discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Horse Junkie’s behalf or to provide services available at Horse Junkie’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Horse Junkie’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Horse Junkie will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Horse Junkie discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Horse Junkie believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Horse Junkie, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Horse Junkie website or sign up for our email updates and have supplied your email address, Horse Junkie may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Horse Junkie and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Horse Junkie takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
