Search terms that you enter when searching our database engine may be collected, but are not associated with any other information that we collect, hence the user is not identifiable.

If you do not wish to continue to receive electronic marketing communications from us you should opt-out by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in any email communications that we might send you.
We may for analytical purposes use and disclose aggregated and anonymised data that contains no information specific to a particular individual.

TurfBreed takes all reasonable steps to protect personal information including external and internal security, restricting access to personal information, maintaining technology products to prevent unauthorised computer access and regularly reviewing our technology to maintain security.
We treat website and credit card security seriously and endeavour to provide a secure, safe platform through which to conduct transactions.
