Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

At Equestrian Clothing Sales, we value the trust our riders place in us when purchasing their performance gear. Just as we carefully select materials for our technical equestrian apparel, we approach your personal data with the same level of care and protection. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit equestriansclothes.com.

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with premium equestrian gear and a seamless shopping experience, we collect:

• Personal Identification Information: Name, email address, shipping/billing address, phone number when you create an account or place an order.
• Payment Information: Credit/debit card details (processed securely through PCI-DSS compliant systems), PayPal email (when used). Like our body protectors safeguard your ride, we encrypt all payment data.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior to improve our website performance.
• Communication Data: Records of customer service interactions, product inquiries, and competition gear requests.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data with the precision of a dressage rider to:

• Process and fulfill your orders for technical equestrian apparel
• Provide customer support for your gear inquiries
• Improve our website and product offerings based on rider preferences
• Send order confirmations, shipping notifications, and service messages
• Prevent fraud and enhance payment security (with military-grade encryption)
• Comply with legal obligations related to international sales

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We treat your data with the same discretion as we would stable management:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners who assist with payment processing (Visa, MasterCard, PayPal), shipping carriers, and IT services – all bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights, as you’d expect from a reputable equestrian retailer.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, with appropriate privacy protections maintained.

We never sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. International Data Transfers

As we serve riders globally (excluding some Asian and remote regions), your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own. We ensure all transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and maintain the same security standards as our premium protective gear.

5. Data Security

We reinforce our data protection measures like the seams on our breeches:

• PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance for all payment processing
• Tokenization technology that never stores raw card data
• 3D Secure authentication for added verification
• Regular security audits and system updates

6. Your Rights

You have rights regarding your personal data, as important as proper riding equipment:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data we hold
• Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: Request erasure of your personal data under certain conditions
• Restriction: Limit how we use your data
• Objection: Opt-out of certain processing activities
• Portability: Receive your data in a structured format

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We’ll respond within 30 days, as promptly as we ship competition-ready gear.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies – small data files that help us:

• Remember your preferences and shopping cart items
• Analyze website traffic and rider behavior patterns
• Improve our marketing effectiveness (like ensuring our ads reach serious equestrians)

You can control cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect some website features – much like adjusting your saddle might affect your ride.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not designed for riders under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, just as we wouldn’t fit a child with adult-sized protective gear.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy occasionally, just as we update our product lines. Significant changes will be communicated through our website or email. The “Last Updated” date at the top indicates the latest revision.

From our stable to yours, we thank you for trusting Equestrian Clothing Sales with your personal information as you trust our gear with your safety.
