Privacy

Effective date: May 1, 2018

Welcome to The Equestrian ("we," "us" or "our"). The Equestrian provides a fast, beautiful and fun way for you to share media through our content-sharing platform. Just snap a photo, add comments (if you like) and share!

  • Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect information in relation to our mobile services, web site, and any software provided on or in connection with The Equestrian services (collectively, the "Service"), and your choices about the collection and use of your information.

  • By using our Service you understand and agree that we are providing a platform for you to post content, including photos, comments and other materials ("User Content"), to the Service and to share User Content publicly. This means that other Users may search for, see, use, or share any of your User Content that you make publicly available through the Service, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.

  • Our Policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service ("Users").


1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect the following types of information.

  • Your username, password and e-mail address when you register for an account.

  • Profile information that you provide for your user profile (e.g., first and last name, picture, phone number). This information allows us to help you or others be "found" on The Equestrian.

  • User Content (e.g., photos, comments, and other materials) that you post to the Service.

  • Communications between you and The Equestrian. For example, we may send you Service-related emails (e.g., account verification, changes/updates to features of the Service, technical and security notices). Note that you may not opt out of Service-related e-mails.
  • Location data when you ride with your horse so that you know where, for how long, at what speed and more.
  • Location data for showing you special weather related events like when to blanket your horse


Finding your friends on The Equestrian:

  • If you choose, you can use our "Find friends" feature to locate other people with The Equestrian accounts either through (i) your contacts list, (ii) through a search of names and usernames on The Equestrian.

  • If you choose to find your friends (ii) through a search of names or usernames on The Equestrian then simply type a name to search and we will perform a search on our Service.

  • If you choose to invite someone to the Service through our "Invite friends" feature, you may select a person directly from the contacts list on your device and send a text or email from your personal account. You understand and agree that you are responsible for any charges that apply to communications sent from your device, and because this invitation is coming directly from your personal account, The Equestrian does not have access to or control this communication.


Analytics information:

  • We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your device or our Service, and other information that assists us in improving the Service. We collect and use this analytics information with analytics information from other Users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual User.


Log file information:

  • Log file information is automatically reported by the app each time you make a request to access (i.e., visit) a page. It can also be provided when the content of the webpage or app is downloaded to your browser or device.

  • When you use our Service, our servers automatically record certain log file information, including your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Service, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information. We may also collect similar information from emails sent to our Users which then help us track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. The information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Service.


Device identifiers:

  • When you use a mobile device like a tablet or phone to access our Service, we may access, collect, monitor, store on your device, and/or remotely store one or more "device identifiers." Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by The Equestrian.


Metadata/Location:

  • Metadata is usually technical data that is associated with User Content. For example, Metadata can describe how, when and by whom a piece of User Content was collected and how that content is formatted.

  • Users can add or may have Metadata added to their User Content including a hashtag (e.g., to mark keywords when you post a photo), geotag (e.g., to mark your location to a photo), comments or other data. This makes your User Content more searchable by others and more interactive. If you geotag your photo or tag your photo using other's APIs then, your latitude and longitude will be stored with the photo and searchable (e.g., through a location or map feature) if your photo is made public by you in accordance with your privacy settings.
