for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Websites and RODEOHOUSTON Mobile Applications

This Privacy Policy discloses the general privacy practices for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™; Customer, Donor, Exhibitor/Contestant and Member Lists; and websites (collectively, the “Rodeo”), including rodeohouston.com and hlsr.com, and the RODEOHOUSTON mobile applications. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is committed to respecting your privacy rights when visiting any Rodeo site page, such as this one. To protect your Personal Information, the Rodeo has created the guidelines outlined below. Understanding that Internet technologies are rapidly evolving, any changes to this policy will be promptly posted on this page, with an updated “effective date” posted at the end of this policy.

INFORMATION COLLECTED
While visiting any of the Rodeo websites (collectively, the “Site”) or mobile applications (collectively, “the App”), we may ask you to register and/or provide information that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”) for purposes of interacting with the Site. Such Personal Information may include, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, street address and email address. On any page that collects Personal Information, we will specifically describe what information is required in order to provide you with the product or service or enter you in the promotion you have requested, as well as respond to your inquiry or comment.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your system. This element of data is a piece of text, not a program. The Site can only access the information from a cookie sent by the Site. We cannot access other cookies sent by other websites or the information contained therein. Additionally, we cannot learn your email address or any other information about you through the use of a cookie. The only way we would learn such information is if you specifically and voluntarily submit that information to us, for example, through a registration system, by entering a sweepstakes or promotion, etc.

WHY DOES THE SITE USE COOKIES?
The Rodeo uses cookies to track usage of the Site and further personalize your experience when you are visiting the Site. By tracking usage, we can best determine what features of the Site best serve the users.

WHAT BENEFITS DO I RECEIVE FROM COOKIES?
Overall, the use of cookies helps to give you a more personalized experience at the Site. The information is used to keep our Site fresh and relevant to you, the user. Cookies also allow you to avoid retyping your email address and password each time you access the Site.

MAY I DECLINE TO ACCEPT A COOKIE?
You may decline to accept cookies sent by the Site by selecting an option on your browser to reject cookies, however, some portions of the Site may require registration in order to access those areas. In such cases, we ask that you register and provide us with basic information on our registration page, or sign in if previously registered. Cookies enable our server to know that you are a registered user; and will eliminate the need for you to log in each time you access our Site. In addition, our registration system may require that you accept the cookies from the Site in order to access that portion of the Site.

Other sites linked to the Site may also send cookies; however, we do not control such activities.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE INFORMATION COLLECTED IN A COOKIE?
The information stored in a cookie is used to identify you to our server, to allow us to personalize your experience on the Site, and to serve content and communications that may be of interest to you.

IP ADDRESSES
The Rodeo does log IP addresses, or the location of your computer on the Internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes, and to determine site usage.

USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We believe in protecting your privacy and will not share Personal Information with third parties outside of the Rodeo, except as described in this Privacy Policy. We believe that we can enhance your experience on our Site with the information you share with us. We use Personal Information about you to improve our advertising and marketing efforts, to statistically analyze Site usage, to improve our content and product offerings, and to personalize the Site’s content, layout and services. We also may use your Personal Information, such as your email address or mailing address, to contact you regarding products and/or services that may be of interest to you, to respond to an inquiry from you regarding the information that we have collected or respond to your comments and suggestions.

The Rodeo may match specific and/or aggregated Personal Information with third party data to provide you with product and content offerings that interest you and improve our advertising and marketing efforts. The Rodeo also may disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to potential sponsors, partners, other third parties, our affiliate companies, and for other lawful purposes. For example, we provide our sponsors/partners with aggregate information about our users, such as “2,000 people viewed your ad today.”

As part of your experience on our Site, you may receive communications from us related to products and services that might interest you. While we believe these services will enhance your experience at our Site, you will at all times be able to opt out from receiving these communications, either by specifically opting out of these services or by deleting your profile from our database.

We have today, and will in the future, have arrangements with third party service providers, such as credit card processors, shipping companies, and fulfillment services. When you sign up for a service we offer on the Site, we may be required to share Personal Information with that service provider in order to provide the service. These third party providers are not permitted to retain or use Personal Information for any purpose unrelated to providing the service.

We reserve the right to disclose Personal Information when needed to comply with the law or a legal process, cooperate with investigations of purported unlawful activities, to identify persons violating the law, or in connection with the sale of part or all of the Rodeo.

PARTY COLLECTING THE INFORMATION
This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and dissemination of information that we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose any information to other parties, whether through, for example, online auctions, chat rooms, personal ads, or the like, through third party services or promotions offered on or through the Site or through other websites throughout the Internet, different policies may apply and the Rodeo shall not be responsible for the use or dissemination of such information.

Third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive information from this website and use that information to provide measurement services and target Facebook ads. Users may opt-out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting by visiting facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences.
