Privacy Policy

CJ's Legacy Ranch / ELTS Foundation ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website located at cjslegacy.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our Site or submit information through any of our online forms. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the Site.

This policy is designed to comply with applicable federal law — including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the CAN-SPAM Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) — as well as Texas state law, including the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act and the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA).

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you complete inquiry, registration, or contact forms on our Site. This may include:

• Full name (first and last)
• Mailing address (street, city, state, ZIP code)
• Email address and telephone number
• Information about minors in your care (camper or student name, age, and health notes) when enrolling in programs
• Horse information (breed, age, gender) for boarding inquiries
• Any additional details you include in message or notes fields on our forms

We also automatically collect certain technical data when you visit the Site, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This data is collected through standard server logs and analytics tools and is used solely for site security and performance monitoring.

2. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Our programs serve youth ages 4 and up; however, our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq.

All registration and inquiry forms that collect information about a minor require the submitting party to be a parent or legal guardian. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will promptly delete that information. Parents or guardians who believe their child's information has been submitted without consent may contact us at [email protected] to request deletion.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information you provide for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries, process program registrations, and fulfill boarding requests
• To communicate with you about your enrollment, upcoming events, or program updates
• To send administrative communications such as confirmations, reminders, and policy updates
• To improve the functionality and content of our Site based on aggregate usage data
• To comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce our Terms and Conditions

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Email Communications (CAN-SPAM Act)

Any email communications we send comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7701 et seq. Our emails will clearly identify CJ's Legacy Ranch / ELTS Foundation as the sender, include our physical mailing address (2700 FM-407 E, Bartonville, TX 76226), and provide a clear mechanism to opt out of future non-transactional communications. We honor opt-out requests within 10 business days. Transactional emails related to your active enrollment or inquiry may continue regardless of marketing opt-out status.

5. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers

We may share data with trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating the Site or delivering our services (e.g., email delivery providers). These vendors are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal process (such as a subpoena or court order), or to protect the rights, property, or safety of CJ's Legacy Ranch / ELTS Foundation, our participants, or the public.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of organizational assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, consistent with the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521.001 et seq. Form submissions are transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we dispose of it in a secure manner.
