A plain-language account of what this research archive stores now, and what it does not.

EquinAtlas can remember your color-theme choice and horse watchlist in this browser's local storage. A watchlist entry contains a compact reference to public horse information, such as its name, EquinAtlas link, discipline, thumbnail, and whether watch alerts are enabled. The watch desk also stores the time of your previous visit so it can identify newer exact-name headlines. This information is not sent to an EquinAtlas account, shared across devices, or used for advertising. You can remove horses from the watchlist page; clearing this site's browser data also removes the list.
No community account collection yet
The production site does not yet accept account registration, public comments, synchronized likes, uploads, newsletters, advertising, affiliate tracking, analytics pixels, or behavioral profiles. Those features will not activate until the shared account service, durable storage, moderation, security controls, and an updated policy are live and tested.
Messages and publisher content
If you email the corrections address, your email provider and our mailbox provider may process the message to deliver and respond to it. Include only information needed for the source-review request. We do not ask for horse health records, payment information, or private data.
The news desk can display an image directly from a publisher's CDN when that publisher supplies it as an approved feed preview. Loading that image sends the normal network request, including your IP address and browser details, to the publisher's image host; EquinAtlas sends no page referrer and does not store the image. External reference links are also operated by their respective publishers and have their own privacy practices.
