Privacy Policy

Introduction

N.D.R. Therapeutic Riding, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation ("NDR," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you, or that you may provide, when you visit our website at ndrtherapeuticriding.org (the "Site"), and explains your privacy rights under California law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA").

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect:

• On this Site; and
• In email, text, and other electronic exchanges between you and this Site.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by us offline, or by any third party (including social media platforms or payment processors) that may link to or be accessible from the Site.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using this Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy. We may update this Policy from time to time; your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

Electronic Communications

Visiting the Site or sending emails or other correspondence to NDR constitutes electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Geographic Restrictions

NDR is based in the state of California in the United States. We provide this Site for use by persons located in the United States. We make no claims that the Site or its content is accessible or appropriate outside of the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we know to be under 16 years of age. If you believe we might have collected information from or about a child under 13, please contact us using the information below and we will delete it.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We collect the following categories of information from and about users of our Site:

• Identifiers — such as your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, and similar contact details.
• Commercial information — such as details of donations, purchases, or transactions you make through the Site.
• Internet or other electronic network activity — such as pages viewed, links clicked, browser type, and usage details, collected automatically as you navigate the Site.
• Geolocation data — such as your general, approximate location (for example, derived from your IP address).
• Inferences — such as general interests or preferences drawn from the above, used to improve the Site experience.

We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, financial account credentials, precise geolocation, or other sensitive personal information as defined by the CCPA. If you submit payment information through a third-party donation processor (such as PayPal), that processor collects and handles it directly under its own privacy policy.

We collect this information:

• When you directly provide it to us (for example, by filling out a form, signing up for our mailing list, applying as a participant or volunteer, or making a donation).
• Automatically as you navigate the Site, through cookies and similar technologies (see below).
• When you contact us by email or other correspondence.

Automatic Data Collection and Cookies

As you interact with our Site, we and our service providers may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing actions and patterns, including traffic data, pages visited, and technical details about your device and browser.

• Cookies. You may refuse browser cookies through your browser settings; doing so may limit some Site functionality.
• Analytics. We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our Site. These services may use cookies or similar technologies on our behalf.
• "Do Not Track" and opt-out preference signals. Some browsers support a Global Privacy Control or similar signal indicating you do not want your information sold or shared. We honor such signals as a valid opt-out request where legally required to do so.

The information we collect automatically is generally statistical and does not by itself identify you, but we may associate it with other information we have about you.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We use your personal information to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
• Respond to inquiries and provide the services, programs, or information you request;
• Process donations and send related acknowledgements or receipts;
• Communicate with you about NDR's programs, events, and charitable opportunities (you may opt out of these communications at any time); and
• Comply with legal obligations and protect the rights, property, and safety of NDR, our community, and the public.

Sharing Your Information

NDR does not sell your personal information, and we do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, as those terms are defined under the CCPA.

We may share information with:

• Service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, email delivery, payment/donation processing, and analytics — under agreements that restrict their use of your information to providing those services to us.
• Legal and safety purposes — when required by law, legal process, or in a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of NDR, our donors, our community, or the public.

Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA with respect to your personal information:

• Right to Know — You may request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, the purposes for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we have shared it.
• Right to Delete — You may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Right to Correct — You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing — NDR does not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of today; if that ever changes, we will update this Policy and provide a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information — We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes beyond those necessary to provide the Site.
• Right to Non-Discrimination — We will not deny you services, charge you a different price, or provide a different level of service because you exercised any of your privacy rights.

How to submit a request. You, or an authorized agent acting on your behalf, may submit a request by emailing us at the address below with "California Privacy Request" in the subject line. We will need to verify your identity before processing your request, which may require you to provide additional information. We will respond within 45 days, with a possible one-time 45-day extension as permitted by law.

Security of Your Personal Information

We use reasonable security measures, including encryption (such as SSL/TLS) for data in transit, to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links to Other Sites

This Site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies directly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised Policy on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site.
