Our Approach
1. Introduction and Scope
This policy explains how Hawaiian Horse Heritage handles information in connection with this website. It applies only to this website.
2. Information You Submit
Our contact and volunteer forms do not store your information on this website. When you submit a form, your own email app opens with a prepared message to our email address. Information reaches us only if you choose to send that email, and it then includes whatever you wrote along with your email address.
3. Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and the time of the request, for security and reliable operation.
4. Cookies
This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Our hosting provider may use strictly necessary technical mechanisms to deliver pages securely.
5. How Information May Be Used
We may use information you send us to respond to inquiries, consider volunteer interest submissions, maintain website security, and provide information you request.
6. Communication and Inquiry Handling
We reply to inquiries by email. We will not add you to a mailing list without your permission.
7. Data Sharing and Service Providers
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by our website hosting provider and our email provider as part of delivering their services.
8. Data Retention
We keep email correspondence only as long as reasonably needed to respond and for legitimate organizational recordkeeping.
9. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
10. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. Contact us to make a request.
11. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Parents or guardians who believe a child has contacted us may ask us to delete that correspondence.
