Churchill Downs Incorporated and its subsidiary companies (“CDI,” “we,” “us,” or "our" ) have adopted this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information in connection with our Services.

I. What Is Personal Information

When we use the term “personal information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to a particular consumer or household. It does not include aggregated or deidentified information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to you.

We collect personal information in several ways. Sometimes we collect personal information directly from you and sometimes we collect the personal information automatically when you interact with our Services. At times, we may collect personal information about you from other sources and third parties and combine that information with other information we collect from you.

A. Personal Information You Provide To Us

We collect the following personal information you provide in connection with our Services.

• Registration, Account Funding and Wagering. You may register or open an account with CDI on any of our Services if you are at least eighteen (18) years old, or older in some jurisdictions for account wagering.  Similarly, you may place wagers at our casinos if you are twenty-one (21) years old. If you do, we may collect your:

If you inquire about purchasing or purchase tickets or packages directly through us for any of our live events, or donate to any of our charity fundraisers, we will collect your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, payment information, and demographic information. In some cases, such as when you purchase sponsorships either in an individual capacity or as a representative of a company or group, we will collect your Social Security Number and information about your employment.

B. Information We Collect About You Automatically

We use various technologies to automatically collect information about the device or browser you use to navigate our website, apps or from your use of our other Services, including:

• Web Logs. Like many websites, apps and email communications, we automatically collect certain information about your device automatically and store it in log files. This information may include device identifiers, IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp and/or clickstream data.
• Geolocation Information. When you download our app or use some of our online Services, you will be prompted to give permission for CDI to access your device’s precise geolocation. Giving permission is voluntary, although the denial of permission to access geolocation information may result in your inability to take full advantage of CDI’s Services. For more information on how to withdraw your permission, please see the Online Privacy Choices section below (section VI).
• Cookies and Other Data Collection Technologies. We and our service providers use cookies, scripts and similar technologies to manage the Services and to collect information about you and your use of the Services. These technologies help us to recognize you, customize or personalize your experience, advertise products or Services to you and analyze the use of our Services to make them more useful to you. These technologies may also allow us to collect demographic and statistical data and provide this information to our service providers to help deliver their services. Most internet browsers allow you to remove or manage cookie functions and adjust your privacy and security preferences. For information on how to do this, access the “help” menu on your internet browser, or access http://www.aboutcookies.org/how-to-control-cookies.  Please note, however, that disabling our cookies may mean that you will not be able to take full advantage of our Services.

C. Information We Collect About You From Third Parties

We may receive personal information about you from other users or our business partners and service providers and combine this information with other information we have.

• Ticketing and Online Purchases. If you purchase tickets or products through our online store, you are interacting with our third-party partners.

V. Third-Party Data Collection and Online Advertising

We may participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We permit third party online advertising networks, social media companies and other third-party services, to collect information about your use of our online services over time so that they may play or display ads on our Services, on other websites or services you may use, and on other devices you may use. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology, which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including click stream information, browser type, time and date you visited the Sites, AdID, precise geolocation and other information. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research. We may also use services provided by third parties (such as social media platforms) to serve targeted ads to you and others on such platforms. We may do this by providing a hashed version of your email address or other information to the platform provider.

We may engage in the following:

• Social Media Widgets and Advertising. Our Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter or other widgets. These social media companies may recognize you and collect information about your visit to our Services, and they may set a cookie or employ other tracking technologies. Your interactions with those features are governed by the privacy policies of those companies.
• Social Media Platforms. We may display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and other social media forums. These companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our services while those users are on the social media platform, or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics. We may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed email address, with these platform providers or they may collect information from our website visitors through a first-party pixel, in order to direct targeted advertising to you or to a custom audience on the social media platform. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them. If you do not want to receive targeted ads on your social networks, you may be able to adjust your advertising preferences through your settings on those networks.
• Third Party Partners. We work with a variety of third-party partners to provide advertising services. For example:
  • Adobe’s Analytics Service. We use Adobe Analytics to collect information about your use of the Services, which uses cookies and web beacons to help us understand more about the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. To learn more, please visit the Adobe Analytics Opt-Out page
  • Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to recognize you and link the devices you use when you visit our Services on your browser or mobile device, log in to your account on our Services, or otherwise engage with us. We share a unique identifier, like a user ID or hashed email address, with Google to facilitate the service. Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our users interact with our Services and to tailor our advertisements and content to you. For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google's website, “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Ad-On here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
    We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics. These features enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to the Services. You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at  https://google.com/ads/preferences, or by visiting NAI’s online resources at  http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices

We support the self-regulatory principles of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). We work with advertisers, advertising networks, advertising servers, and analytics companies (“Ad Partners”) that use data collection technologies to understand how our Services are being used and to analyze your browsing history in order to deliver advertising relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related insights. These advertisements may appear on other websites or services, including through social media networks. These Ad Partners may be able to associate devices across third party websites or services over time and link various devices used by the same individual.

For more information about how Ad Partners use the information collected by these technologies and your options for restricting cookies placed by some of these Ad Partners, please visit the DAA’s opt-out page. The DAA’s opt-outs are device- and browser-specific and may not work on all devices. If you choose to opt-out through the DAA’s tools it does not mean you will cease to see advertising. Rather, the ads you see will be based on the website or app you are visiting and not your interests.

For more information about these practices and your choices regarding cookies, please see Information We Collect about You Automatically (section II) in our Privacy Policy.

Depending on your state of residency, you may also have the right to not receive retaliatory or discriminatory treatment in connection with a request to exercise the above rights. However, the exercise of the rights described above may result in a different price, rate or quality level of product or service where that difference is reasonably related to the impact the right has on our relationship or is otherwise permitted by law.

In order to verify your identity, we will generally either require the successful login to your account or the matching of sufficient information about you to the information we maintain about you in our systems. Although we try to limit the personal information collected in connection with requests, certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal information from you for added certainty, including, but not limited to, your email address, mailing address, and/or date of last interaction with customer service. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the right to know and delete, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity.

These third parties use this personal information to serve relevant ads on our site, on other websites or mobile apps, or on other devices you may use, or to personalize content and perform other advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research. These third-party businesses may use such information for their own purposes in accordance with their own privacy statements, which may include reselling this information to additional third parties, including other advertising networks. Please see the Third-Party Data Collection and Online Advertising section of our Privacy Policy for more information about how third parties use cookies and related technologies to collect information automatically on our websites and other online services, and the choices you may have in relation to those practices.

Minors.  We do not sell the personal information of consumers we know to be less than 16 years of age. If we wish to do so in the future, we will first seek affirmative authorization from either the minor who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a minor less than 13 years of age. Please contact us at [email protected] to inform us if you, or your minor child, would like to opt-in to sales.

If you are under the age of 18 and you want to remove your name or comments from our website or publicly displayed content, please contact us directly at [email protected]. We may not be able to modify or delete your information in all circumstances.

Authorized Agents.  In certain circumstances, you may permit an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. The authorized agent must provide a letter signed by you confirming the agent has permission to submit a request on your behalf, or must provide sufficient evidence to show that the authorized agent has been lawfully vested with power of attorney.

For security purposes, we may need to verify your identity and confirm directly with you that you have provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request, and it may take additional time to fulfil agent-submitted requests. We may deny a request in the event we are not able to verify the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf. Please note that for privacy and security reasons, we will direct future communications to the data subject on whose behalf the request was made.

If you wish to submit a request to access, modify or delete information on behalf of your minor child in accordance with applicable jurisdictional laws, you must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify your child is the person about whom we collected personal information and you are authorized to submit the request on your child’s behalf (i.e., that you are the child’s legal guardian or authorized representative).

VI. California-Specific Disclosures

The following disclosures apply solely to residents of California:

Retention of Personal Information. We retain personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. However, if necessary, we may retain personal information for longer periods of time, until set retention periods and deadlines expire, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and accounting requirements set by a legislature, regulator or other government authority.

To determine the appropriate duration of the retention of personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information and if we can attain our objectives by other means, as well as our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other applicable obligations.

Therefore, we retain personal information for as long as the individual continues to use our services for the purposes explained in How We Use Your Information (section III) of our Privacy Policy. When an individual discontinues the use of our services, we will retain their personal information for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes and defend claims, as well as, for any additional purpose based on the choices they have made, such as to receive marketing communications. In particular, we will retain personal information supplied when joining our services, including complaints, claims and any other personal information supplied during the duration of an individual’s contract with us for the services until the statutory limitation periods have expired, when this is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Once retention of the personal information is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or deidentify the personal information or, if this is not possible (for example, because personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store the personal information and isolate it from further processing until deletion or deidentification is possible.

Notice of Financial Incentive. We offer various financial incentives to consumers who allow us to collect and retain personal information. For example, the financial incentives we may provide include:

• Periodic promotions and special offers, including deposit and gaming offers.
• Registration and referral bonuses.
• Communications channel offers, such rewards for signing up for a newsletter.
• Loyalty programs, where you earn rewards based upon your past deposits or wagers with us.

When you sign up for our email list, create an account, refer a friend or otherwise sign-up for a promotion or special offer, you opt-in to participate in a financial incentive program. Participation in any financial incentive program is entirely optional and participants may withdraw from the program at any time. To opt-out of the program and forgo any ongoing incentives, you may unsubscribe from our emails (for email-based incentives), close your account (for loyalty and reward program incentives) contact player services using the contact information below, or submit a request to delete your information.

The financial incentives we offer to consumers are reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data to our business, based on our good-faith, reasonable but sole determination. We estimate the value of consumers’ personal information by considering the expense incurred by the business related to the collection, storage and retention of consumers’ personal information in the context of the financial incentive program and the expenses related to the provision of the financial incentive. From time to time, we may provide additional terms that apply to a particular financial incentive, which will be presented to you at the time you sign up for the financial incentive.
