Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting The Heavy Horse Enthusiast's website located at www.heavyhorseenthusiast.com. We are pleased to provide this privacy policy to inform you of our practices with respect to the collection and use of information about visitors to our website.  By using this website, you consent to the following terms.

What we collect and how we collect it

You may visit this website and learn about The Heavy Horse Enthusiast and its products, services and business partners and affiliates anonymously.  The data that we regularly collect about visitors to our website (e.g., browser type, pages accessed, duration of visit, etc.) does not enable us to identify you.  We also collect your IP address, but this information generally does not reveal your identity. 

We collect personally identifiable information about you only if you voluntarily provide it to us through e-mails or other forms of communication or requests for further information.  Examples of when you voluntarily submit this kind of information include when you fill out a registration page or send us correspondence.  When you request information from The Heavy Horse Enthusiast, we will require you to provide your contact information (e.g., name, business or home address, and/or email address).  If you want to access or view optional demonstrations available on our website or certain areas on our website that are password restricted to authorized users, you will be required to provide personal information and/or unique identifier information (e.g., user identification number, screen name and/or password) along with your responses to our security questions.

If you do not choose to send us an e-mail or otherwise voluntarily provide your personally identifiable information, your visit to our website will not provide us with information by which we could personally identify you.  Although we do store your correspondence and contact information, we do not create “profiles” with additional information about our visitors.

How we use it

We use your contact information and unique identifier to provide access to any special services available on this web site and to contact you when reasonably necessary.  We may also use any information you have provided as reasonably necessary to administer or provide customer support for the web site.  We may also use your contact information to provide notices regarding the products or services that you have purchased, as well as to inform you about goods and services that you may be interested in purchasing in the future.  We may transfer any information collected through this web site to our processing and storage facilities in the United States. We use the information submitted by you to send you correspondence and other information that may interest you and to respond to your correspondence.  If, for any reason, you would like to be removed from our email list, you can send us an email at webmaster@heavyhorseenthusiast.co.uk.

We do not sell, rent or lease your personally identifiable information to third parties.  We share your information with our partners and third parties who may send you correspondence or other information that may interest you.  We may also provide your information to third parties if we believe in our discretion it would be helpful in responding to you.  For example, if you ask us to provide you with information about products or services, we may make available your request and contact information to the provider of the products or services so that they may respond to your request directly.  We may also share limited personal information with third parties on a confidential basis to enable a third party to perform certain tasks on behalf of The Heavy Horse Enthusiast, such as maintain an email list.  Please email us at webmaster@heavyhorseenthusiast.co.uk if you do not want your information shared with third parties.

We will also disclose your personally identifiable information if we reasonably believe we are required to do so by law, regulation or other government authority.

Children’s privacy

Our registration process is intended solely for use by adults. We do not currently collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age.

Use of cookies

We do not use cookies, small files that are sent to your browser and stored on your hard drive to record how and when you use a website. 

Links

For your convenience, we may provide links to certain third party websites or referrals to certain third parties’ products or services.  If you choose to visit a third party’s website or use its products or services, please be aware that the third party’s privacy policy, and not The Heavy Horse Enthusiast, will govern your activities and any information you disclose while interacting with the third party’s website. We cannot take any responsibility for the content of linked websites, or for the privacy policies of websites to which we link.

Security

The Heavy Horse Enthusiast employs procedural and technological measures, consistent with legal requirements and the demands of customer service, reasonably designed to protect your personally identifiable information from loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.  We store your information on secure computers located in a locked data center owned or leased by us or by a third party retained by us, to which only a small number of The Heavy Horse Enthusiast's employees have physical access.   We use encryption of passwords, firewalls and other security technology to help prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information. 

However, we would like to remind our users that the Internet is not a secure environment and technology is no substitute for common sense.  For this reason, we strongly encourage each user to keep login names and passwords secret and to change passwords when they may have become compromised.  Furthermore, we recommend that our users communicate over secure channels wherever possible, disable the automatic login features found in some browsers, and empty your browser caches regularly. 

Privacy Policy Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post these changes here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information and whether we will disclose it to anyone.  All changes to our privacy policy will be effective upon posting.
