Data will be collected and retained by and on behalf of the board of directors and the branch committees.

If you are a team member, ILDRA may pass on sufficient personal information to another ride organisation as is required to facilitate your entry into an event.
- ILDRA may retain a database for the purposes of record keeping required in relation to its functions which contains ride results. This will contain the name of the rider, the horse ridden, the class entered and the result. This database may be accessible by the public on the internet. In the event of a member, or former member, requesting that that data be deleted, ILDRA will not remove this particular data as it is intended to be a permanent record of ride participation.
