This privacy policy applies to all personal data that is collected and used by us when you create an account on WarmbloodStallionsNA.com, participate in contests of Warmblood Stallions of North America, or interact with us through social media or otherwise. It also explains other sources of personal data that we have used. For purposes of this privacy policy, "personal data" means any information through which we can identify you, as further described below in "Personal Data We Collect."


Warmblood Stallions of North America is a small company providing marketing services to stallion owners, breeders, and other sport horse businesses through a website (WarmbloodStallionsNA.com), an email newsletter, and a Facebook page. It is the primary DBA of WSNA Ventures. WSNA Ventures, LLC was formed in the state of Texas and is owned and operated solely by Natalie Masin, with no employees.

WSNA Ventures, LLC, dba Warmblood Stallions of North America, 23546 Macedonia Road, Hockley, Texas, 77447, USA will be referred to hereafter as "WSNA" or or "we".

WSNA, has been publishing equestrian magazines since 1993, and has developed and maintained a database of subscribers, requesters, and others interested in sport horses primarily for mailing the magazines. We have prided ourselves on maintaining a database of sport horse enthusiasts, and in recent years especially breeders, in North America that is as complete as possible. This was begun before the digital age, before the modern concerns about digitalized personal data. We no longer publish printed magazines, but our database still includes over 25 years of data. If you are concerned that you may be in our database for any reason, and wish to be removed, please contact us.


The information we collect about members of the sport horse industry, especially breeders of sport horses, comes from personal data you have entered (recently or in connection with previous magazines we published), when you subscribed or used our services, and may also come from third party sources.

Data we collect from you when you register as a user on WarmbloodStallionsNa.com, advertise on WarmbloodStallionsNA.com, or communicate with us by phone, messages, or email or through social media. Also data we collected in the course of publishing previous magazines:

• Your contact details. Your name, postal address and other contact details, such as your telephone number and e-mail address.
• Your account data and electronic identification data. The data you have entered in your user account (e.g. name, address, email, password), if you have made such an account with us, and your IP address.
• Your purchases. The data we collect if you purchase an advertising package, or design or other services, such as the amount and date of your purchase, the product or service you purchase, the mode of purchase, payment method, payment status, discount, expected completion date.
• Your details regarding contests. The data we collect if you participate in a contest.
• Your reviews. The opinions or experiences or product reviews that you share with us through personal communication including phone or email, or through social media, concerning our services.
• Your communication data. Your requests, any complaints you may have and any other data that we receive if we communicate with you via e-mail, online, phone, instant messages or via social media.
• Your stallion(s), farm, or business data. We collect the information necessary to provide you with the advertising services you have purchased, including Stallion Profiles, Stallion Stories, and news items. We also collect images, including stallion offspring images.
• Your survey participation. The information you voluntarily provide if you participate in a survey we publish. Our surveys include the option of anonymity.

We may have similar types of data from third-party sources, including:

• Registries. Many of the warmblood breed registries in the US and Canada have provided us with names and mailing addresses of their members in order for their members to recieve our printed magazine as a benefit of membership.
• Publicly available sources. WSNA has entered the relevant information and personal data from many public sources, including websites, Facebook pages, magazine advertisements, and others.

WSNA collects and uses your personal data for the purposes set out below.

For the performance of our agreement with you:
In order to manage and handle your purchases and to provide you with the services you requested from us, including handling your requests, we use your contact details, your account and electronic identification data, and information regarding your purchases.

  In providing their services, they can access, receive, maintain or otherwise process personal data on our behalf.
