Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, including name, email, profile information, and payment details when you subscribe to premium features. We also collect competition data such as run times, per-segment timings, barrier margins, legal-fall outcomes, event entries, hazer assignments, mount agreements, horse records, steer records, strength and injury logs, location data (GPS), and app interactions.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to provide and improve our services, coordinate hazers and horses, calculate hazer credits and mount money, process entries and transactions, send notifications about draws, results, and settlements, personalize your experience, and provide location-based features such as weather, arena finding, and nearby rodeo discovery. We never sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Hazer and Mount Money Records Are Shared By Design
A hazer assignment, a hazer credit, a mount agreement and a settlement are shared records — both parties see the same rows, including the amount, the agreed percentage, and whether it has been marked settled. That is the entire point of them: the ledger only ends arguments if nobody can quietly hold a different version. Hazer ratings are attributable, so the hazer can see who rated them. Your hazer profile, availability and travel radius are visible to riders looking for a hazer; you can mark yourself unavailable at any time, which removes you from the board.
4. Users Under 18
Steer wrestling has a youth population through junior rodeo, high school and college, and we apply additional protections by default. Profiles for users under 18 default to followers-only visibility. Location precision for minors is never shown below city level. Adults cannot direct message a minor outside of an established school, barn, or mentor relationship, and those relationships carry guardian visibility. Photo and video sharing for minors is controlled by a guardian setting on the account. A minor's recruiting profile does not become public automatically upon turning 18 — that requires an explicit action by the account holder.
5. Strength and Injury Records
Strength logs, injury records and recovery tracking are private to your account by default and are never shown to other users, producers, associations, or horse owners. We do not sell, share, or analyse them for anyone but you. Steer wrestling has the worst injury profile of the timed events, and a health log that somebody deciding whether to mount you could read is a health log nobody fills in honestly. You can export or delete it at any time.
6. Location Data
We collect GPS location data to provide weather information, severe weather alerts, arena and rodeo discovery, hazer and horse matching by travel radius, route planning, and hauling features. You can disable location services at any time through your device settings, though some features will be limited. For accounts belonging to minors, location is never displayed to other users below city level regardless of device settings.
7. Self-Recorded Data vs. Official Results
Runs and segment timings you record yourself are stored separately and clearly labeled as hand-timed. They are never merged into official results, standings, or public leaderboards. Official results originate from event producers and sanctioning bodies.
8. Photos, Video, and Run Analysis
Video you upload for run analysis is stored securely and processed to produce coaching metrics such as barrier margin, catch frame, feet-on-ground timing, and the throw. A steer wrestling run always shows at least two people — you and your hazer — and often somebody else's horse, so sharing controls respect the hazer's account as well as yours. For accounts belonging to minors, guardian controls apply to all media sharing.
9. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption. We use Supabase for database management and authentication, and Stripe for payment processing, both of which maintain strict security standards.
10. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. You can export your data or request account deletion in the app, or by contacting support@bulldogging.pro. Guardians may exercise these rights on behalf of a minor.
11. Third-Party Services
We integrate with third-party services including payment processors (Stripe), mapping and places services (Google Maps), weather APIs, push notification providers, analytics providers, and cloud storage. These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your data.
12. Blocking, Reporting, and Moderation
Block, report, and mute are available on every account from launch and apply to hazer and horse board contact as well as messages and posts. Report categories include harassment and unwanted contact specifically. Reports are reviewed by our moderation team, and reported content may be retained for the duration of an investigation and any subsequent enforcement.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the product develops. Material changes will be communicated in the app and by email to the address on your account.
