This Privacy Policy outlines how the ETCHA App (East Tennessee Cutting Horse Association App) collects, uses, and protects user information. By using the app, you agree to the terms explained below.

1. Information We Collect

When you use the ETCHA App, we may collect your full name, email address, phone number, event dates you select, and the class and number of entries you submit. We do not collect any payment information, location data, or sensitive personal details.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide solely to register you for cutting horse events, organize class schedules, contact you with event-related updates or confirmations, and manage event coordination. Your data is not used for advertising, analytics, or third-party marketing.

3. Data Storage and Security

All information collected through the app is stored securely and is accessible only to authorized event administrators. While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no mobile application or digital platform can guarantee complete security.

4. Third-Party Access

The ETCHA App does not use third-party tools, advertising systems, or analytics services that collect or track user information. Your data remains within the app’s internal registration system and is not shared externally.

5. Your Rights and Data Control

You have full control over your information. You may request to view, update, or delete your personal data at any time by contacting us at info@etcha.us. We will respond to all requests promptly and with care.

6. Data Retention

Your information is retained only for as long as necessary to manage event registration and planning. After each event cycle concludes, we may archive your data for internal recordkeeping or securely remove it from our system.

7. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our process or compliance needs. All updates will be published on this page along with the revised date. Continued use of the app indicates your acceptance of the most recent version of the policy.
