Horse Isle recognizes your privacy. We collect certain information to allow us to run the game. We store usernames and passwords along with a player's email, birthdate, and country when you sign-up.

We log site and game activity (such as the IP address of users) to allow us to better manage the site. We may use this information to exclude visitors who violate our rules.
We have clear rules disallowing communication between players of personally identifiable information. We also strive to have usernames that do not contain any 'hints' to the player's true identity. Emails and IP addresses of players are not visible to anyone who is not a Horse Isle staff member.
The only personally identifiable information we require from anyone is a valid email address. The email address is only used to send the initial activation of the account, and to make sure only one account is setup per email. The email will not be used again except for password recovery by request of a player or other support-related functions. Other information asked for is not personally identifiable. That is country of residence, gender (determines whether you are referred to as he/she in the game) and birthdate. Birthdate is used to award players a bonus on their birthday, and to know age of player for parental control and rights.
