B. Information collected automatically:
When you visit or use the Site, we may automatically collect and store information about your computer or mobile
device and your activities so that we can enhance our services and your experience. We may use web technologies
such as cookies, web beacons, mobile device ID’s, and/or pixel tags to collect information about your visit to our
ASHBA Site. The information we collect may include, but is not limited to: the version of our Application/Site used;
the type of your computer or mobile device (for example PC/iPhone/Android/iPad); pages visited; content clicked
on; searches used; IP address; browser information; and general geographic location.
Cookies: When you visit our Site, we may place "cookies" on your computer to recognize you. We do this to store
your preferences, collect statistical data and track your use of our Site. Cookies are widely used, and most web
browsers are configured initially to accept cookies automatically. If you prefer not to accept cookies, you may
adjust and configure your browser settings accordingly. However, if you turn off cookies, or refuse to accept a
request to place a cookie, some features and services on our Site may not function properly.
Web Beacons: When you visit the Site, we may also collect aggregated site-visitation statistical information
through clear GIF technology which is also known as a “web beacon”. Such aggregated statistical information is
non-personal information. This Site employs web beacons to speed your navigation of the Site, recognize each user
and his or her access privileges, and track a user's site usage. Web beacons are small bits of code embedded in web
pages or emails that assist in delivering cookies and help the Company determine whether a web page on this Site
has been viewed and, if so, how many times. Although you cannot decline to receive web beacons when visiting a
web page, you can choose not to receive web beacons by email if you disable HTML images or refuse HTML email
messages. However, that may make some features and services on our Site fail to function properly.
Log Files: The Site server automatically recognizes the Internet URL from which you access this Site. ASHBA may also
log your Internet protocol ("IP") address for system administration and troubleshooting purposes. (An IP address
indicates the location of your computer on the Internet.)
C. How we use your information
We use your information to provide and improve our services, to diagnose and fix problems, and to better
understand our users so that we may provide you with a more effective user experience, including but not limited
to customizing services for you (such as by remembering your preferences), processing and completing
registrations for horses on the American Saddlebred Register, allowing you and others to search the American
Saddlebred Register and perform hypothetical mating of registered American Saddlebreds, renewing your ASHBA
membership, and/or make special offers that may be relevant to you.
We may use your email address to allow you to log in to your account, send you notifications regarding your
account or your use of the ASHBA Site or the American Saddlebred Registry, and send you confirmations. We may
also use your email address to respond to your customer service inquiries. We may also share your information
with other companies for various reasons. What information we make available to other companies depends on
the nature of our relationships with them. We may provide our mailing list, including your contact information, to
third parties solely for a specific purpose, such as offering goods or services that our members may find of interest.
Information about registered American Saddlebreds may be freely displayed, reproduced or distributed by ASHBA in
any way in any format. For example, if you choose to register your horse on the American Saddlebred Registry,
information about your horse, as well as your contact information, will be displayed on the American Saddlebred
Registry, which is available to the public. We may also separately aggregate, publish, and distribute this
information. We may contact you in connection with processing any Registry information submitted by you or
submitted about your Saddlebred.
Member information, whether received in electronic means through the Site or submitted through paper form
ASHBA, may also be freely displayed, reproduced, aggregated, or distributed by ASHBA in any way in any format such
as our membership directory and database.
We protect our user information as an asset of our business. If ASHBA or substantially all of its assets were acquired,
or in the unlikely event that ASHBA goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the
assets that may be transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and
that any acquirer of ASHBA may continue to use your personally identifying and non-personally identifying
information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

registered on the American Saddlebred Registry.

order, or government demand; to comply with the law; to investigate or report illegal activity; to protect the legal
rights of ASHBA or our Greek organizational clients, our third party partners, our ASHBA Site or ASHBA Site users; or to
enforce our rights or defend claims.

us. You may change any of your Personally Identifiable Information or opt out of any specific service by updating
your account.
We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes. You may ask to have

completely delete all of your information because we (and/or our vendors and partners) may periodically backup

Your California Privacy Rights
Residents of the State of California, under a provision of the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed personal information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an Opt-out or Opt-in choice for use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.
Kindful qualifies for the alternative option; it has a comprehensive privacy policy and provides you with details on how you may either Opt-out or Opt-in to the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.
If you are a California resident and request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices you must send a request to support@kindful.com.
