Types of Information Collected
Generally, personal information is not collected from those visiting the
CompetitiveHorse.com website. However, in order to access certain special
services, personal information is requested; those cases are described in
more detail below.
Bulletin Board Registration
CompetitiveHorse.com requires a valid e-mail address for users who want
to participate in the Horse Talk discussion forums. This allows us to
protect our community from abusive postings and provides a verifiable point
of contact should legal questions arise. At any time, you have the ability
to keep your e-mail address hidden from other users by selecting that option
within your user profile.
Also in the forum registration, you have the option of providing some
additional information such as occupation, interests, and homepage URL. This
information is made available to other bulletin board users to foster a
sense of community. If you have any concerns about providing this
information, simply leave the fields blank and your registration will still
be processed.
IF YOU ARE 12 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER and would like to participate in
the Horse Talk Forums, you will need to print the Parental Consent form and
have your parent or legal guardian mail or fax it to CompetitiveHorse.com,
prior to posting on the forums.
Bulletin Board Notices
From time to time, the Horse Talk forums administrator sends out notices
regarding CompetitiveHorse.com website. If you check "yes" on your
registration form for this option, these occasional notices will be sent to
your e-mail address. You can change this option at any time by clicking on
the "profile" link and modifying your profile.
Cookies
Certain activities on CompetitiveHorse.com website involve the use of
"cookies" to facilitate your experience. This includes retention of your
username and password for the Horse Talk forums and showing a default Topic
View when you visit the forums. You have the option to turn these cookies
off at any time by updating your user profile preferences. If your browser
doesn't support cookies, or if you have cookies turned off, these
preferences will not be set.
Disclosure of Personal Information
CompetitiveHorse.com does not disclose personally identifying information
collected online to any third parties. All reasonable care is taken by staff
handling personal information to ensure its security.
It is also important to be aware that when you voluntarily provide personal
information (e.g., last name, address, phone number) in a posting on the
bulletin board, that information is publicly available and may be used by
someone in a manner unintended by you. For that reason, we discourage the
offering of any personally identifying information within the message board
itself.
Privacy for Children Aged 12 and Under
Although CompetitiveHorse.com website is targeted at a general adult
audience, we welcome the participation of younger users with their parents’
consent. We strongly recommend that users 12 and under refrain from offering
any personal information either in their user profile or in the message
boards themselves, and we encourage parents to stay involved in the online
life of their children.
Please view a copy of the parental permission form. Prior to a child’s
registration on the bulletin board, this form must be signed by the child’s
parent or legal guardian and faxed to CompetitiveHorse.com at 503 722-7560
or mailed to:
