Texas Trophy Hunters Association features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but
you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Texas Trophy Hunters
Association services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Texas Trophy Hunters Association secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. Texas Trophy Hunters Association secures the personally identifiable information you provide

PRIVACY POLICY With Respect to Children
Welcome to our Texas Trophy Hunters Association (TTHA.com) web site! We hope your visit to our site
will be an enjoyable one and that you will learn wonderful things about the Exciting World of Hunting. We
want you to know that we are very concerned about protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted
this privacy policy.
If you are under the age of 13, before you submit any personal information to us, please read this
entire message with your parents or guardians.
Note to Parents/Guardians: We have worked hard to make our site a safe, wholesome place for visitors of
all ages. Nevertheless, we strongly encourage you to talk to your children about safe and responsible use
of the Internet and protection of their personal information. Please review this entire policy with your
children. We hope that after you have reviewed it, you will be comfortable with your child's visiting our
Web site and corresponding with us.
Personal Identifying Information
You need to be very careful when it comes to giving us or anyone else personal information about
you or your family over the Internet, particularly information that would allow someone to actually
contact you.
For the purposes of this policy, we will call information that would allow someone to actually contact you
"Personal Identifying Information." Personal Identifying Information includes things like your full name
(first name plus last name), your email address, your home address, your telephone number, your school
name, your place of employment, your social security number, or other similar items.
Personal Identifying Information is different from information that will not allow a person to actually contact
you. Information like your first name without your last name, your city without your street address, your
age, your favorite color, what magazines you like, etc., will not allow us or anyone else to actually contact
you. For the purposes of this policy, we will call these kinds of information "Profile," "Demographic" or
"Non-Identifying" Information.
The distinction between Personal Identifying Information and Non-Identifying Information is very
important. You should carefully protect all personal information, but Personal Identifying Information is
what you need to safeguard the most.
The Kinds of Information We Collect At our Web site, we will ask for the
following personal information:
Profile/Demographic Information - we will at times ask you for your first name, last initial (so we can tell
boys or girls with the same first name apart), age, state, and country. This is Non-Identifying Information,
however, if you are concerned about sharing it with us, you are always free to submit your information
under a false or "screen" name.
Identifying Information - we will at times ask for your email address. Email address is the only piece of
Personal Identifying Information we will ask for. We ask for it so that we may add you to our email mailing
list and correspond with you. Email address is never mandatory. If your parent has filled out the consent
form referenced below, we may also have your postal address, full name and postal address on file. This
additional information will be considered and treated as Personal Identifying Information for purposes of
our Privacy Policy.
Editorial Information - we will give you the opportunity to voluntarily provide your experiences to us
through the various sections of our Web site. There are lots of reasons for you to write and we want to
hear from you. You might, for example, choose to send us questions or answers, or you might want to
send in suggestions or ideas. You might want to enter one of our essay contests. Or you might want to tell
us what you thought about one of our articles. For the purposes of this policy, we will refer to your
comments, ideas, opinions, suggestions, stories, questions and answers, and all other information or
communication from you as "Editorial Information."
Server Information - there is information which our server or computer system records in the process of
operating, maintaining and administering our Web site. This includes how many visitors we had, the
number of visitors which viewed each of the pages on our site, what times of day visitors came to our site,
what browsers our visitors used, and what part of the Internet they came to our site from, and other
similar information. This "Server Information" provides us with aggregate data and market research that is
very helpful to us in evaluating our site.
Cookies - A "cookie" is a message given to a Web browser by a Web server. At times we will use cookies
to keep track of your online session for personalization purposes, such as storing your username and
password for you to easily log in on your next visit, or to send you personalized information about
upcoming products and promotions that we believe will interest you based on information you have given
us. We also use cookies to track usage of our website and to create website usage statistics and reports.
At times we send the data collected by these cookies to an outside program called Google Analytics, but
we never include your personally identifiable information in the data that we send.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but
you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Texas Trophy Hunters
Association services or Web sites you visit.
How We Use the Information

· respond to your correspondence, questions, comments, prayer requests, etc.;
· continually develop and design our content to meet your interests and needs;
· notify you about new products and new Web site content and to send you announcements and
newsletters;
· contact you in the event you win a prize in one of our games or contests;
· understand our audience and their interests better so we can continue to improve our products, services

How We Protect Personal Identifying Information
1) We do not sell, rent or lease any of your Personal Identifying Information to any third party.
2) If we choose to post any of the Editorial Information that you send in to us, we will only post Non-
Identifying Information - things like your first name, last initial, your age, state, and country. We will NOT
post your email address.
Our Rights to Use the Editorial Information You Send Us
We love to hear from our readers and regularly receive email and postal correspondence from hunters of
all ages! All Editorial Information that you send us will become the sole property of TTHA, and we will be

have sent us, placing your comments in our promotional pieces, etc. All of the information you send us
will be carefully reviewed, and if we do decide to post it, publish it or use it, we will have the right to edit it.
With the exception of your Personal Identifying Information, everything we receive from you will be treated
as non-confidential and non-proprietary.

Parent or Guardian giving us their consent.
We want to know that your parents are aware of our site, that they approve of your use of it, and that they

Note to Parents/Guardians:
If you have read our privacy policy and are comfortable
with your child's corresponding with us and being on our email and/or postal mailing
list, we will need you to provide written parental consent. This consent cannot
be given via email. You must read the JTHC Parental Consent Form on this site.
Then, you must mail or fax a signed and completed copy of the JTHC Parental Consent
Form to give us your consent along with the email and/or postal contact information
you want us to have in our files. The completed form will provide a way for us
to reach you (such as your email address or telephone number) if necessary to
confirm your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time by contacting us
via any of the methods listed in the following section.
We realize that these requirements are time-consuming, but they are measures now required by
