Effective Date: 11/08/2026

  1. Introduction

LKD Racing (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website (the “Site”) or engage our racehorse training and care services (the “Services”). Please read this policy carefully. By using our Site or Services, you agree to the practices described here.

  1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information. Contact Information includes your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address provided when you contact us, fill out a form on our Site, or book Services. Horse Information includes details about your horse, such as health history, temperament, training goals, and any other information relevant to providing our Services. Communication Records include records of emails, phone calls, or messages exchanged with us regarding your inquiries or bookings. Website Usage Information is automatically collected when you visit our Site, such as browser type, device information, IP address, and pages visited, typically gathered through cookies or similar technologies. Payment Information includes billing details necessary to process payments for Services, which may be handled directly by us or through a third-party payment processor.

  1. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to respond to inquiries and provide requested information about our Services, to schedule, manage, and deliver training, conditioning, coaching, grooming, and race day preparation services, and to communicate with you about your horse’s care, progress, and scheduling. We also use this information to process payments for Services rendered, to improve our Site and the quality of our Services, and to comply with legal obligations, including those related to equine health and safety. With your permission, we may also use photographs or updates about your horse for promotional purposes on our Site or social media.

  1. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, understand how visitors use our Site, and support basic website functionality. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though some features of our Site may not function properly as a result. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, and we do not use tracking technologies to build detailed advertising profiles of our visitors.

  1. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in limited circumstances. We may share information with Service Providers who help us operate our business, such as payment processors, website hosting providers, or veterinary professionals, when necessary for your horse’s care. We may disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including compliance with Finger Lakes Racetrack or New York State equine regulations. In the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of our business, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We may also share information in any other circumstances where you have given us your consent to do so.

  1. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include limiting access to personal and horse-related information to those who need it to provide our Services, and taking reasonable precautions when storing records electronically or on paper. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

  1. Data Retention

We retain personal and horse-related information for as long as necessary to provide our Services, maintain accurate business and care records, and comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including those relevant to equine health and racing. When information is no longer needed for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymize it.

  1. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, to request deletion of your information, subject to legal or contractual obligations, and to opt out of promotional communications at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below, and we will respond within a reasonable time.

  1. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, such as social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately before sharing any personal information with them.

  1. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are intended for adult horse owners, trainers, and businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe we may have collected information from a child should contact us using the details below.

  1. Do Not Track Signals

Our Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how such signals should be interpreted. We will update this policy if our practices change in the future.

  1. International Users

If you reside outside the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where our business is based and where data protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence. By using our Site or Services, you consent to this transfer and processing of your information in the United States.

  1. Sharing with Veterinary and Racetrack Professionals

Depending on the specific Services you engage, your horse’s health and training information may occasionally be shared with veterinary professionals or racetrack officials where necessary for your horse’s care, safety, or eligibility to compete. We treat this information with the same care as other personal information described in this Policy, and we share it only to the extent reasonably necessary for these purposes.

  1. Analytics

We may use basic analytics tools to understand general trends in how visitors use our Site, such as which pages are viewed most often. This information is generally aggregated and does not identify you individually. Where analytics tools rely on cookies, the cookie information described earlier in this Policy applies.

  1. State Privacy Law Rights

We do not knowingly sell personal information as that term may be defined under applicable state privacy laws, and we do not engage in the targeted advertising practices that such laws are generally designed to address. If applicable state law provides you with additional rights beyond those described in this Policy, we will honor those rights consistent with the requirements of that law upon receiving a verifiable request.

  1. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our Services, or applicable legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on our Site with a revised effective date, and significant changes may be communicated directly to clients where appropriate. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
