Equipoise Frequently Asked Questions

Privacy Policy

This page states the Equipoise® privacy policy.

Information that you provide to Equipoise® is not given or sold to other services, databases or businesses for any use whatsoever, certainly not for generalized mailings and spam. Equipoise® guards this information like it is gold...because in fact, it is. Your information is only forwarded to qualified persons in response to specific queries of the Equipoise® meta-index, and only after a database review confirms a possible match of specific Sale Horse and Buy Offer listings.

Also, if you wish, Contact Information may be forwarded on a per-query basis to qualified individuals requesting industry related service information such as: providers of hay in a given region.

The CONTACT FORM allows selection of certain publication specifics. You may choose which portions of your Contact Information will be forwarded in response to direct queries of your listings. One selection allows you to choose the option of authorizing publication on the Equipoise® web site of chosen parts of your Contact Information. This is done to provide for future expansion, as web publishing of Contact Information is currently not done. Privacy issues and security concerns must be finalized before this type of publication is offered. Yet even when those issues are resolved, Equipoise® will still be very conservative about providing information to others.

Equipoise® itself does not use broadcasts from generalized e-mail lists to advertise services, products, specials, or anything else whatsoever. Every submittal is confirmed with an e-mail follow-up, but those are always quick, to the point, and not repeated. In any case, be aware that submittal forms are currently transferred as plain text over the Internet (just like e-mail), so you should not include any security sensitive information such as credit card numbers.

If you receive e-mail from anybody pretending to be Equipoise®, or find that anybody has used your Contact, Buy Offer, or Sale Horse Information inappropriately, please submit a QUERY FORM to report the abuse. If it is confirmed that someone has used information provided to them by Equipoise® which in any way is not to the liking of the person who provided it to Equipoise®, the offender's listings will be removed from publication. Appeal of removal to achieve reversal is not easy.

You must be 18 years old to submit forms. Equipoise® cannot accept listings from minors. This is because it is illegal to make contracts with minors, so such contracts have no standing. Since the goal of Equipoise® is to move Buyers and Sellers as efficiently as possible to contract, Sale Horses and Buy Offers are only accepted from adults.

Of course, young horse enthusiasts are encouraged to browse the information provided here. The Equipoise® site is totally child safe, and kids viewing these pages will eventually become Equipoise® best clients; so, if you are under 18, thank you for understanding, and enjoy the site.
