Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how The Barrel Board (“The Barrel Board,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit thebarrelboard.net, create an account, submit an event, purchase advertising, subscribe as a Business Partner, or otherwise use our services.
Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, phone number, business or producer information, event details, horse information, entry fees, winnings, links, uploaded files, and communications with us.
We may also collect technical information automatically, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, cookies, and general usage data.
Accounts and User Content
Contestants and producers may create accounts and submit information to the platform. Information that you choose to publish in an event listing, producer profile, or Business Partner listing may be visible to the public.
Payments
Payments and recurring subscriptions are processed by Stripe. We do not store full payment-card numbers on our servers. Stripe may collect and process payment and billing information under its own privacy policy.
How We Use Information
- Operate, maintain, and improve The Barrel Board.
- Create and manage accounts, event listings, claims, subscriptions, and advertising.
- Send transactional emails, review notifications, account notices, and service updates.
- Prevent fraud, abuse, spam, and security incidents.
- Understand site usage and improve performance and features.

Cookies and Analytics
We may use cookies and similar technologies for login sessions, preferences, security, analytics, and site performance. You can control cookies through your browser, although disabling them may prevent certain features from working.
How We Share Information
We may share information with service providers that help operate the website, including hosting, email, analytics, payment processing, security, and technical support providers. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a business transfer.
Data Retention and Security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business and legal records, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices
You may update certain account information through your dashboard. You may request access, correction, or deletion of personal information by contacting us. Some information may be retained where required for legal, fraud-prevention, payment, or recordkeeping purposes.
Children
The Barrel Board is not directed to children under 13. A parent or legal guardian should supervise minors who use the service and should not permit a child under 13 to create an account independently.
Third-Party Links
Event listings and Business Partner listings may link to third-party websites and social platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content.
