At the Kansas Horse Council site, we may ask you to provide personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. We may also collect demographic information, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. If you choose to make a purchase or sign up for a membership, we may ask for additional information, such as your credit card number and billing address, that is used to create a Kansas Horse Council billing account.

We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with Kansas Horse Council sites. We may also deliver advertisements on non-Kansas Horse Council sites and services, and we may collect information about page views on these third party sites as well. Additionally, we may collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses.

In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with the Kansas Horse Council, information collected through one Kansas Horse Council service may be combined with information obtained through other Kansas Horse Council services. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other companies. For example, we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain services to your geographic area.

Some Kansas Horse Council sites allow you to choose to share your personal information with select Kansas Horse Council partners so that they can contact you about their products, services or offers.

We may occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver their service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.

Security of Your Personal Information

We use a variety of security procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone.

Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information

Some of the Kansas Horse Council sites and services are intended for general audiences and do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. When a Kansas Horse Council site does collect age information, and users identify themselves as under 13, the site will either block such users from providing personal information, or will seek to obtain consent from parents for the collection, use and sharing of their children's personal information. We will not knowingly ask children under the age of 13 to provide more information than is reasonably necessary to provide our services.

Please note that if you grant consent for your child to use the Kansas Horse Council services, this will include such general audience communication services as e-mail, instant messaging, and online groups, and your child will be able to communicate with, and disclose personal information to, other users of all ages. Parents can change or revoke the consent choices previously made, and review, edit or request the deletion of their children's personal information.

We encourage you to talk with your children about communicating with strangers and disclosing personal information online. You and your child can visit any online safety resources for additional information about using the Internet safely.

Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail

The Kansas Horse Council is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam." The Kansas Horse Council has a strict Anti-Spam Policy prohibiting the use of any Kansas Horse Council account to send spam. The Kansas Horse Council will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to third parties. While the Kansas Horse Council continues to actively review and implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, there is no currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using junk e-mail tools and being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail address while online will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive.
