NationalHorseSales.com
respects the privacy of visitors to our website. Please read this
Privacy Policy horsefully so that you understand what information
we collect through our website and what we do with that information.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact our
webmaster at horses@compassionatejourneys.com.
Protecting the Privacy of Children
Children should always get permission from their parents before sending
any information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses,
and phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else. Our
website services are not directed at children under 18 and we won't
knowingly allow anyone under 18 to provide us any personally identifying
information; if you're under 13, please don't provide any information
about yourself on this website. Should a child under 18 wish to place
an ad, they must do so through a parent or their legal guardian only.
The Information We Collect
The information we gather falls into two categories: (1) information
supplied by visitors to the site when they list a horse for sale,
perform a search, or initiate a transaction, and (2) tracking information
gathered as visitors navigate through our website and review our email
newsletters and other email messages. Third-party providers featured
on or linked to by our website, such as vendors of products and services
offered through our site by third parties, may be gathering information,
as well, through processes we don't control.
Searches and Listings
To make use of certain features on our site, visitors need to provide
limited information about themselves and their interests so that we
can tailor the information we provide to their needs. For example,
to help you find the horse you want, we need to know what kind of
horse you're looking for. We ask you to provide this information when
you perform a search. We use this information to help you find the
horse you're looking for. If you find a listing that interests you
and elect to send the seller an email through our website, we'll share
with the seller the contact information you supply through our online
form. When you list a horse for sale, we ask for information on the
horse and on how you can be contacted by potential buyers. We also
ask for your payment information. We use this information to create
your listing and to process your payment.
Email Addresses
If you provide us your email address, we'll send you, from time to
time, newsletters and/or offers we think may be of interest to you.
Though we hope you'll find these informative and useful, if you don't,
you can always unsubscribe by following the simple instructions included
in each email. And you can opt out of receiving the newsletter or
other emails at all by indicating, when you list a horse for sale
or inquire about a horse listed on our website, that you'd prefer
not to get our newsletter or receive these offers.
Cookies
To help us tailor our website to the needs and interests of our visitors,
we keep track of the pages visited by our users by placing a cookie,
a small entry in text file, on your hard drive. The cookie contains
an ID number that allows us to track the pages you've visited. We
aggregate this data with data on the pages visited by other users
to track overall visitor traffic patterns. We use this information
to improve our site by making it more responsive to the needs of our
users. We may also use cookies to make sure you don't see the same
ad repeatedly during a single visit to our site. Cookies don't reveal
personal information; the only personal information a cookie can contain
is information you supply yourself. Cookies can't read unrelated data
off your hard drive. Our advertisers and those who provide products
and/or services through our site may also assign their own cookies,
a process we don't control. We don't have access to these cookies
or to any information they contain. The help function on most web
browsers contains information on how to set your browser to notify
you before accepting a cookie or to disable cookies entirely. However,
if you don't accept cookies, you won't be able to take advantage of
various features on our site that are available to other visitors.
Many of our search features, for example, won't work properly if you
configure your browser not to accept cookies.
Browser Level Information
Our web server automatically collects limited information about your
computer configuration when you visit our site, including the type
of browser software you use, the operating system you're running,
the resolution of your computer monitor, the website that referred
you, and your IP address. (Your IP address is a numerical address
that is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your
computer so that data (such as the web pages you want to view) can
be transmitted to you. We also use IP address information for systems
administration and trouble shooting purposes. Your IP address does
not tell us who you are.) We use this information to make our site
as useful as we can for as many users as possible.
Use and Disclosure of Information
When we present information to our advertisers, to help them understand
our audience and confirm the value of advertising on our website,
it is usually in the form of aggregated statistics on traffic to various
pages within our site. If you wish to review or update your listing
(or to deactivate your profile completely), send an email to the email
address of horses@compassionatejourneys.com
and the NationalHorseSales.com staff will make your requested changes
for you. After asking us to make the change for you (or to deactivate
your profile), please allow 24 to 72 hours for implementation.
Links and Features Offered in Conjunction with Other Providers
To make our website more valuable to our visitors, we feature some
products and services that come from other providers. We share with
these third parties such information as is necessary for them to provide
the products or services. Of course, our site includes links to other
websites, and provides access to products and services offered by
third parties, whose privacy policies we don't control. When you access
another website or purchase products or services or conduct other
transactions through our website, use of any information you provide
is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you're
visiting or the provider of such products or services. When you provide
information in the course of obtaining products or services through
our site, use of any information you provide may be governed by the
privacy policy of the provider of those products or services. The
provider's privacy policy may differ from ours. If you can't find
the privacy policy of any of our provider partners via a link either
from their site's homepage or from the pages on which the products
or services are offered, you should contact the provider directly
for more information.
Other Disclosures
We may occasionally release information about our visitors when release
is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our Visitor Agreement,
or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our site,
our customers, the public or NationalHorseSales.com. As our business
grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event that
NationalHorseSales.com, or substantially all of its assets is acquired
by another company, information on our visitors would be among the
transferred assets. We also may allow others to search some of our
databases (our listings database, for example) and to analyze the
data they find there or aggregate it with other data, either for their
business purposes, or ours. Though some of the information in our
databases may be personally identifying (such as the contact information
included in a listing), we'll only allow searches of the portions
of our database that contain information that is otherwise publicly
available on our website.
Updates to Our Privacy Policy
If we need to change our privacy policy at some point in the future,
we'll post the changes to this Privacy Policy before they take effect.
By visiting NationalHorseSales.com, you agree that your visit, and
any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy and our
Terms of Use.
