merchants and others who participate in TTHA services are encouraged to
participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude

Information We Collect and How We Use It
TTHA collects certain information from and about its users three ways:
directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
a.
Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track
information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of
information we may track include:
- Your Internet protocol address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.
- Date and time of your visit.
- Name of your Internet service provider.
- Web page you linked to our site from.
- Pages you viewed on the site.
b. Use of Cookies
TTHA may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user
experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a
Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a
Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a
convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web
page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of
delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving
your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized
functionality.
TTHA reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics
with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on
our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as
merging into ttha.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).
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 reject cookies by changing your
browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality
on our Website.
c. Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to purchase services.
When you register, we will request some personal information such as name,
address, email, telephone number or facsimile number, account number and other
relevant information. If you are purchasing a service, we will request
financial information. Any financial information we collect is used only to
bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this
information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other types of
registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also be asked
to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and
information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide
online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we
collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent
necessary including:
§
To fulfill your service requests for services.
§
To protect ourselves from liability,
§
To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
§
In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the
company.
4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
Texas Trophy Hunters Association website (
http://www.ttha.com/ ), HuntingFishingGear (http://www.huntingandfishinggear.net)
and/or HuntingFishingGuides.net (http://www.huntingandfishingguides.net/)
Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also
called single-pixel gifs – that allow TTHA to count users who have visited those
pages and to deliver co-branded services. TTHA may include Web beacons in
promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether
messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help
determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email
communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to
place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to
recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile
anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us
and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to
our website and how you use the site. TTHA prohibits Web beacons from being used
to collect or access your personal information.
5. Accessing Web
Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that
personally identifiable information in your web account file is correct and
current. You may review this information by contacting us by sending an email
to our support attendant –deana@ttha.com.
6. Changes to
this Statement
TTHA has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy
statement. When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top of
this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy
statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal
information we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes your
agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
