Privacy Policy
1. Overview and Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how Fairmount Horse Track collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal information when individuals access our pari-mutuel wagering website, create an account, place wagers, and use related features. Our services are intended for users located in the United States and are offered under Illinois regulatory supervision. The policy applies to account holders, visitors, and support contacts. By using this website, you acknowledge that your information may be processed in accordance with this policy and applicable law. We are committed to using clear language, collecting only relevant information, and maintaining practical controls that reduce unauthorized access or misuse. We do not sell personal information in exchange for monetary compensation. We do use selected service providers to operate core platform functions, including hosting, fraud detection, and payment support, and these providers are contractually bound to process data only for authorized purposes.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect identifiers such as your name, date of birth, residential address, phone number, and email address; account credentials; and verification details required for legal eligibility and anti-fraud controls. We also collect transaction and wagering information, including deposited amounts, withdrawal requests, race selections, timestamps, settlement outcomes, and account balances. Technical information may include IP address, browser type, device characteristics, cookie IDs, referring pages, and activity logs generated by platform use. If you contact support, we may store the communication content and metadata needed to resolve your issue and maintain compliance records. Certain optional profile fields, promotional preferences, and marketing consent settings may also be collected when voluntarily provided. We avoid requesting sensitive information unless required by law, payment obligations, or clear operational necessity.
3. How We Use Personal Information
We use personal data to establish and maintain your account, verify eligibility for pari-mutuel participation, process transactions, settle wagers, and prevent suspicious or prohibited activity. Information is also used for customer support, service communications, fraud detection, risk scoring, security monitoring, analytics, and platform improvement. Where users opt in, we may send updates about race events, bonus offers, and product announcements. We may use automated tools to detect unusual account behavior, repeated failed sign-ins, payment anomalies, or abuse patterns that could threaten system integrity. Data may be retained in records required for legal, accounting, regulatory, and dispute-handling obligations. We do not use account data for unrelated profiling.
4. Legal Basis and Regulatory Compliance
Processing activities are grounded in contract performance, legitimate business interests, user consent where applicable, and compliance with legal obligations connected to wagering operations. We may process and disclose relevant data when required to respond to regulatory requests, legal process, internal audit controls, and responsible gaming measures. We also maintain procedures to verify age and location requirements and to detect potentially unlawful sources of funds.
5. Data Sharing
We may share data with payment processors, hosting providers, analytics vendors, customer support infrastructure, identity verification services, fraud prevention partners, and legal advisors, only to the extent needed to perform authorized services. We may disclose account data to public authorities, courts, or regulators where legally required. In a merger, restructuring, or asset transfer, user data may be transferred subject to confidentiality and continuity safeguards. We do not permit external partners to use customer data for unrelated independent purposes.
6. Data Retention and Security
We retain data for as long as required to operate accounts, satisfy legal obligations, and address disputes or enforcement issues. Retention periods vary based on record type, operational need, and applicable law. Security measures include access controls, credential protections, transport-layer encryption, segmented permissions, event monitoring, and internal review procedures. While no system guarantees absolute security, we work to maintain safeguards proportionate to platform risk and process maturity. If an incident materially affects user information, we follow applicable notice obligations and response protocols.
7. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on local law, users may request access to personal data, request correction of inaccurate records, request deletion where legally permitted, and object to or limit selected processing activities. Users may also adjust marketing preferences and cookie choices. To protect account security, requests may require identity verification before fulfillment. We may deny or limit requests where an exemption applies, such as ongoing legal obligations, fraud prevention needs, or unresolved transaction disputes.
