Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 16, 2026

Bellevue Farms (“Bellevue Farms,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit bellevuefarms.net, contact us, or submit an inquiry about a horse.

Information we collect

Information you provide

When you submit an inquiry or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, preferred method of contact, the contents of your message, and the horse or webpage associated with your inquiry. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through our website.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, our systems may automatically record limited technical information, including the page visited, the type of page or horse listing viewed, the referring website’s domain, an anonymized or pseudonymous visitor identifier derived from your IP address and browser information, and the date and time of the visit.

Bellevue Farms uses first-party analytics to understand general website usage and improve the site. We do not use this information to identify you by name. Our analytics do not record a page view when your browser sends a recognized Do Not Track signal.

Our hosting, security, or network providers may also process IP addresses, browser information, and similar technical data as necessary to deliver and protect the website.

How we use information

We may use collected information to:

• respond to questions and horse inquiries;
• communicate with you using your preferred contact method;
• provide information about horses, availability, pricing, or Bellevue Farms;
• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• measure general website traffic and engagement;
• detect spam, abuse, security incidents, or technical problems;
• maintain business records and comply with legal obligations; and
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

How we disclose information

We may disclose information to service providers that help us host, secure, maintain, or operate the website; email and communications providers used to deliver and respond to inquiries; professional advisers when reasonably necessary; government authorities or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or property; and a successor or prospective successor in connection with a merger, sale, reorganization, or transfer of Bellevue Farms or its assets.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising.

Cookies and similar technologies

Bellevue Farms does not use advertising cookies. The website’s first-party traffic measurement does not require an advertising profile.

Our hosting and security providers may use cookies or similar technologies that are strictly necessary to deliver the website, prevent abuse, or maintain security. Your browser allows you to remove or block cookies, although doing so could affect some website functions.

Embedded content and external links

Horse listings may contain embedded YouTube videos or links to third-party websites and social-media services. YouTube videos are presented using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced domain where supported.

A third party may collect information when you load or interact with its content. Its practices are governed by its own privacy policy, not this Privacy Policy. Bellevue Farms is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of external websites.

Data retention

We retain inquiry information and other personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you, administer our business, maintain appropriate records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Technical analytics records are retained only as reasonably necessary for website measurement, operation, and security. We may retain aggregated or de-identified information that no longer reasonably identifies an individual.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and privacy requests

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information you have provided, subject to applicable law and any information we must retain for legitimate business or legal purposes. You may also ask us to stop contacting you.

To make a request, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. Depending on where you live and whether an applicable privacy law covers Bellevue Farms, you may have additional privacy rights. We will evaluate requests under the law that applies to them.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the website, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices, website, or legal obligations change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through an additional notice on the website.
