Effective Date: September 9th, 2020
INTRODUCTION
A. This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes Rodeo Logistics, LLC’s (together with its affiliates, “Rodeo Logistics,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collection, use, disclosure, and other processing of personal information that you provide to us or that we collect via any of our websites and services provided through the websites identified in the Terms of Use (collectively, the “Website”), or any mobile or web application, or other software application provided by us, including the online Open Stalls application and the Entry Tool application, that you access on or download to your mobile device (the “Apps”).
B. IMPORTANT NOTE: By accessing or using the Website or Apps you agree to Rodeo Logistics’ collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the Terms of Use for the Website and Apps (“Terms of Use”), a copy of which is available at www.RodeoLogistics.co. People who visit the Website or use the Apps are referred to as “Users.”
C. In this Privacy Policy when we refer to Rodeo Logistics’ “affiliates,” we are including companies that are affiliated with Rodeo Logistics because they have common ownership with Rodeo Logistics. The parent company of the group of which Rodeo Logistics is a member is also considered an “affiliate” of Rodeo Logistics under this Privacy Policy.
RESTRICTIONS ON USE
A. International Users. Our Website and Apps are not intended for use outside of the United States. If you are a resident of another country, including the European Union, Canada, or Brazil, your use of the website or such mobile applications may be governed by laws that are less protective than those of your home jurisdiction.
B. Children’s Privacy. Users must be at least 18 years old to create an account or register for the Website or Apps unless such User’s parent or legal guardian has validly consented to such use (provided that minor’s account must be administered by such minor’s parent or legal guardian). We do not collect personally identifiable data from any person we know to be under the age of 13 without consent of such child’s parent or legal guardian, and we instruct children under 13 not to send us any information unless we have obtained such consent. Rodeo Logistics does not knowingly ask for any personal information from children under the age of 13 without first obtaining the consent of such child’s parent or legal guardian. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 years old in a way that is inconsistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of the United States, then Rodeo Logistics will promptly delete this information.

A. Rodeo Logistics may collect personal information from you, such as your first and last name, location, address, state and country of residence, email address, photo, username and password, phone number, and any other information you provide to us when you create an account to log into our network or use our Websites or Apps (your “Account”).

Rodeo Logistics may collect information that Users submit to the Website, such as comments, uploaded media, postings, messages, text, files, images, graphics, photos, audio clips, sounds, video, or other materials, contributions to discussions, or messages to other Users, including such materials that may contain personally-identifiable information. Rodeo Logistics may collect information such as name and email address from Users who sign up for any publications, blogs, or newsletters provided to you directly by Rodeo Logistics or indirectly through independent contractors providing services.
E. We may collect a profile photo and username that you upload to your profile page (“Profile”). When you participate in certain rodeo and other rodeo-related or similar events (each, an “Event”), including certain Events that you enter into via the Entry Tool, your Profile and information about such Event, including your performance results, points standing (if applicable), and earnings (if applicable), will be publicly available.
F. You may have to provide credit card, debit card, or other billing information when you sign up on the Website or Apps. All financial transactions conducted via the Website or Apps are made using one or more third-party payment processors, such as Stripe (or such other vendor(s) as we may engage from time to time). All such transactions are governed by the vendors’ respective privacy policies and terms of use, which we do not control. We encourage you to review their applicable privacy policies and terms of use before submitting your payment information (e.g., https://stripe.com/us/privacy). We do not process or retain your credit card or debit card information. This information is used solely for the purpose of allowing Users to sign up for and use certain features of the Website and Apps.
G. Rodeo Logistics also collects other information voluntarily provided by such subscribers to Rodeo Logistics via email or via any sign-up or opt-in pages of the Website or Apps.
INFORMATION COLLECTED VIA TECHNOLOGY
A. Information Collected by our Website and Apps. To make our Website and Apps more useful to you, our Website automatically tracks certain information about the visits to our Website, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address, clickstream data, referring and exiting pages, and a date/time stamp for your visit. Rodeo Logistics uses cookies, web beacons, log file information, and similar mechanisms for all or any of the following purposes:
1. To store information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Website.
2. To deliver custom, personalized content and information.
3. Identify you when you access, visit, or log-in to the Website or Apps.
4. To note the different areas of the Website that have recently been accessed through your computer. Information collected in this way may be used to develop and manage the online services of Rodeo Logistics by, for example, storing information about your preferences so as to enable Rodeo Logistics to customize the Website according to your individual interests.
5. Monitoring the effectiveness of any promotions or marketing campaigns by Rodeo Logistics or its affiliates.
6. Tracking your entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests.
7. Improving the content of the Website, Apps, and conducting various other diagnostics to improve the Website and Apps. Rodeo Logistics may, for example, use cookies to monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of User and pages viewed.
8. Analyzing and improving Website and App security.
9. To collect demographic information about our base as a whole.
B. Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Website. This type of information is collected to make the Website and Apps more useful to you and to tailor your experience to meet your special interests.
C. Pixel Tags. We use “Pixel Tags” (also known as web beacons or clear GIFs). Pixel Tags are tiny images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, which are used to track online movements of web users. Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in web pages and emails. Pixel Tags also allow us to identify whether emails have been opened, in part to help tailor our messages to your interests.
D. Collection of Data in Connection with Advertising. We may use third parties to serve ads on the Internet, on the Website, and in the Apps. In connection with the delivery of advertising, certain third parties may automatically collect information about your visits to this and other websites, your IP address, your Internet service provider (ISP), and/or the browser you use to visit our Website. Information collected may be used, among other things, to deliver advertising targeted to your interests and to better understand the usage and visitation of our Website and the other sites tracked by these third parties. This policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, Cookies or Pixel Tags in third-party ads, and we encourage you to check the privacy policies of advertisers or ad services.
E. Mobile Services. We may also collect non-personal information from your mobile device if you have downloaded our Apps. This information is generally used to help us deliver the most relevant information to you. Examples of information that may be collected and used include how you use the Apps, and information about the type of device you use. In addition, in the event our Apps crash on your mobile device, we will receive information about your mobile device model software version and wireless service carrier, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise improve the performance of our Apps.
F. Third-Party Analytics. We use certain third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics, to help analyze how users use our Website and Apps (“Analytics Companies”). These Analytics Companies use certain technologies, like Cookies, to collect information such as how often users visit our Website, what pages they visit, where they go, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our Website. We use the information we get from Analytics Companies to improve our Website and Apps, or to develop new product offerings.
G. Referral Affiliates. We may enter into agreements with companies that refer users to our Website or Apps by way of hyperlinks made available on the referring party’s website. We may automatically collect certain information, such as your IP address and the referring website in connection with your use of the referring party’s website. This policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, Cookies or Pixel Tags from third-party websites.
H. Location Information. We use location-related information, such as your current location, where you live, the Events you attend, and to personalize and improve our Website and Apps, including ads, for you and others. Location-related information can be based on things like precise device location (if you’ve allowed us to collect it), IP addresses, and information from your and others’ use of our Website and/or Apps (such as Events you attend).
I. “Do Not Track” Signals. The Website and Apps do not respond to “do not track” signals from browsers. Thus, your selection of the “do not track” option provided by your browser may not have any effect on Rodeo Logistics’ collection of cookie information for analytic and internal purposes. To effectively manage Rodeo Logistics’ collection of cookie information, you may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies through the settings associated with your browser. But, please note that if you choose to erase or block cookies, you will need to re-enter your information to gain access to certain parts of the Website or Apps and may not be able to access other parts of the Website or Apps.

We may supplement the information we have about you with information received from other sources including from our pages on Social Networking Sites (as defined below), the Social Networking Sites themselves, and from commercially available sources (e.g., data brokers and public databases). The information we receive may include demographic data such as age and gender, your interests and purchase data and other information that is necessary or useful to assist our marketing efforts or for user verification, authentication, fraud detection, or to comply with regulatory requirements.
