Privacy Policy

This Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website or interact with our services.

introduction

Hoosier Cowboy Association (“HCA,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through this Privacy Policy.

Information we collect

HCA collects very limited personal information, and only when it is voluntarily provided by you. This may include:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Mailing address (if provided)

  • Information submitted through contact, volunteer, or sponsorship forms

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information unless explicitly required for a specific transaction (such as event registration or donations handled by third parties).

How we use information

Any information collected is used solely to:

  • Respond to inquiries or requests

  • Coordinate events, sponsorships, or volunteer activities

  • Communicate updates related to HCA programs or events

  • Maintain basic internal records

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

Third-Party Services

HCA uses trusted third-party platforms to support event operations, ticketing, and payment processing. These third parties may collect information directly from users according to their own privacy policies.

Examples include, but are not limited to:

  • Eventbrite – for event registration and ticketing

  • TransSafe – for secure payment processing

  • Other event, ticketing, or donation platforms as needed

HCA does not store or process payment card information directly. All payment transactions are handled securely by third-party providers.

Cookies & Analytics

Our website may use basic cookies or similar technologies provided by third-party services (such as event platforms or embedded tools) to:

  • Ensure website functionality

  • Improve user experience

  • Support third-party integrations

HCA does not actively track users for advertising purposes and does not conduct behavioral profiling.

You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies if you prefer, though some website features may not function properly as a result.

data security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information submitted through our website. While no website or transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect personal information.

External Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (such as ticketing or sponsor pages). HCA is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites they visit.

Children’s Privacy

HCA does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
