Sharing your information

Foundry does not sell your personal information.

Personal information will only be shared where reasonably necessary to operate the service, with service providers supporting Foundry's systems, or where disclosure is required by law.

Foundry takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, unauthorised access, misuse or disclosure.

Your assessment information

Information you provide about a mare, sire or proposed mating is used to prepare and improve the Foundry assessment service.

Foundry assessments consider pedigree information and mating compatibility within the scope described in the assessment. Information supplied for an assessment does not expand the scope of the Foundry assessment beyond those stated boundaries.

Your rights

You may request access to personal information Foundry holds about you and ask for that information to be corrected if it is inaccurate.

You may also contact Foundry if you have any questions about how your information is being handled.
