Privacy Policy

ChalkHRD — chalkhrd.com

This Privacy Policy explains how ChalkHRD ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information you provide when using chalkhrd.com and our subscription service (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

📱 Mobile & SMS Data — No Third-Party Sharing

Mobile phone numbers collected for SMS messaging and consent obtained through our opt-in process will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Your mobile information is used solely to deliver the transactional pick alerts you signed up for. It is never sold, rented, or disclosed to any third party for their own marketing use.

1. Information We Collect

Account information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, password (stored as a one-way hash), and optionally your mobile phone number and billing information.

Payment information: Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number — Stripe retains payment details under their own privacy and security practices.

Usage data: We may collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages visited, pick views, and feature usage, to improve the product.

Communications: If you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence to resolve your inquiry.

2. How We Use Your Information

3. SMS Communications

If you provide a mobile phone number and check the SMS opt-in checkbox during registration, you consent to receive transactional SMS pick alerts from ChalkHRD (daily picks, race-day updates, and nightly results). Consent is not a condition of purchase.

Mobile phone numbers collected for SMS and the consent you provide when opting in will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. This information is used exclusively to deliver the alerts described above.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose your mobile number or SMS consent data to any outside party for their own marketing use under any circumstances.

SMS delivery is handled by our messaging service providers (Twilio, Telnyx, and/or Text Request) acting solely as data processors on our behalf, bound by confidentiality obligations. They receive your number only to transmit messages we send — they may not use it for their own marketing.

Reply STOP to opt out at any time. Reply HELP for assistance. Message and data rates may apply. See our SMS Terms for full details including opt-out confirmation language.

5. Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. After account deletion, we may retain certain records for up to 90 days for legal and fraud-prevention purposes, then securely delete them.

6. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including password hashing and encrypted data transmission (HTTPS). No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Cookies

We use session cookies and localStorage to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for users 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

9. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing support@chalkhrd.com. We will respond within 30 days. You may also cancel your subscription and delete your account at any time through account settings.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or a notice on the Service. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
