Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 28, 2018

Your privacy is VERY important to us. We hate spammers ourselves, and your information is for internal use only. We will not rent, sell, or give away your private information freely.

Budget Equestrian does not store your information, with the exception of our newsletter, which is ran by a third-party service, Convertkit, who is Privacy Shield Certified.

We do not add people to our email list even if they ask us to do so. You will only receive emails if you had signed up for the notifications yourself. You can opt-out of the email list at any time.

When you make a purchase, our website platform, Squarespace, records your information so that we can send you the product(s). We do not see nor remember your credit card information at any point of the transaction.

In general, internet can be a tricky space. Do not give out private information that you don’t want to give out.
