We collect information at several different points as we interact with you. This includes when you create an account, order from the online store, chat with customer service, speak with your account representative, use one of our products or services, register for our newsletter, participate in promotions, or participate in surveys.

When you use our products and services, we collect information about how you are using them and how well those products and services are working. For example, this can include usage data and device data. Our products, websites, and emails utilize technology to collect information. This includes things like web beacon data in emails, via cookies and flash cookie data, and device data such as IP addresses, operating system types, and browser types when you use our website.

What we do with data
When you use our products and services, we may also use your information:
- In order to maintain and improve our products and services by making sure they are working well. For example, knowing which pages of our website frequently result in calls from confused customers helps us know where we need to improve our site design.
- To help develop new products and services. For example, tracking the number of calls for basic subscription updates enabled us to redesign our subscription management area to make things easier for our horse owners.
- In order to personalize your experience with our products and services according to the information we collect.
- To provide services to you, including through our contractors. This includes sharing your address with providers of delivery services like UPS and USPS or sharing information with third parties that provide tackshopusa.com with email solutions, cloud hosting services, payment processing, website support and maintenance, and legal, regulatory, or audit services.
- To allow 3rd party providers to send you mailings regarding products and services that may be of interest to you.
- For regulatory compliance. We maintain records as required by state and federal law, and we may share your personal information to comply with regulatory agency laws, rules, and regulations. This can include providing required personal information in connection with mandatory disclosures to state regulatory agencies and providing disclosures of records in response to state or federal regulatory agency requests.
- For legal reasons. We may share your personal information to comply with inquiries from governmental authorities, or to protect, defend, or exercise legal rights or claims, in connection with end-user license agreements, terms of service, or other applicable agreements, or as otherwise required by law. If we are legally required to share your information, we will attempt to notify you, unless such notification would violate the law or court order.
- In the event of a business transfer. If tackshopusa.com is involved in a sale of assets, merger, acquisition, business transfer, or other change of control, we may share your information with other entities involved. We will require any such successor business entity to honor this Privacy Policy, and we will notify you of any changes that could affect your information. In the event of a business transfer, unless we are otherwise required by law to retain or provide your information to the other entity, you may request that your information be deleted from our records.

How we protect your data – Technical safeguards
The security and confidentiality of your information are extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your information.
