Effective Date: This Terms of Use Agreement was last updated
on April 15th, 2007
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your personal information
for our services on the Ocean First Divers website. It applies generally
to the Oceanfirstdivers.com website and other related websites where this
policy appears in the footer of the page (“the Sites”). Some
websites we operate may be governed by separate privacy policies. The policy
that applies on any of our domains or subdomains is always the policy that
appears in the footer of each website.
By accepting the Privacy Policy and the User Agreement in registration, you expressly
consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information
as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is effective upon acceptance
for new users and is otherwise effective on April 15th, 2007.
2. Collection
You can browse the Sites without telling us who you are or revealing
any personal information about yourself. Once you give us your personal
information, you are not anonymous to us. If you choose to provide
us with personal information, you consent to the transfer and storage
of that information to our servers located in the United States.
We may collect and store the following personal information:
- email address, physical contact information, and (depending on
the service used) sometimes financial information, such as credit
card or bank account numbers;
- transactional information based on your activities on the Sites
(such as buying, selling, item and content you generate or that
relates to your account);
- shipping, billing and other information you provide to purchase
or ship an item;
- correspondence through the Site, and correspondence sent to us;
- computer sign-on data, statistics on page views, traffic to and
from the Site, and ad data;
other information, including IP address and standard web log information.
3. Marketing
We don't sell or rent your personal information to third parties
for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We may
combine your information with information we collect from other companies
(such as demographic data) to improve and personalize our services.
If you don't wish to receive marketing communications from us, simply
indicate your preference once you sign-in or by following the directions
within the email.
4. Acknowledgement and acceptance of terms
Ocean First Divers, LLC is committed to protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Statement sets forth our current privacy practices with
regard to the information we collect when you or your computer interact
with our website. By accessing www.oceanfirstdivers.com,
you acknowledge and fully understand Ocean First Divers, LLC’s
Privacy Statement and freely consent to the information collection
and use practices described in this Website Privacy Statement.
5. Participating Merchant Policies
Related services and offerings with links from this website, including
vendor sites, have their own privacy statements that can be viewed
by clicking on the corresponding links within each respective website.
Online merchants and others who participate in Ocean First Divers,
LLC services are encouraged to participate in industry privacy initiatives
and to take a responsible attitude towards consumer privacy. However,
since we do not have direct control over the policies or practices
of participating merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible
for the privacy practices or contents of those sites. We recommend
and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of merchants
and other third parties before you provide any personal information
or complete any transaction with such parties.
6. Our Disclosure of Your Information
We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements,
enforce our policies, respond to claims, or protect anyone's rights,
property, or safety.
We may also share your personal information with:
- members of our corporate family to help detect and prevent potentially
illegal acts and provide joint services; (Our corporate affiliates
will market only to users who request these services.)
- service providers under contract who help with our business operations.
- other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your
information; (or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified
and consent to when using a specific service)
- law enforcement or other governmental officials, in response
to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged
illegal activity.
- other business entities, should we plan to merge with or be acquired
by that business entity. (Should such a combination occur, we would
require that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy
with respect to your personal information. If your personal information
will be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy
and our ability to keep the community free from bad actors, we will
not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement,
other government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena,
court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when
we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary
to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report
suspected illegal activity.
7. Security
Your information is stored on our servers located in the United
States. We treat data as an asset that must be protected. However,
third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or
private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your
personal information that they collect from the Site. Therefore,
although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise,
and you should not expect, that your personal information or private
communications would always remain private.
8. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
Ocean First Divers, LLC web pages may contain electronic images
known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that
allow Ocean First Divers, LLC to count users who have visited those
pages and to deliver co-branded services. Ocean First Divers,
LLC 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. Ocean First Divers,
LLC prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your
personal information.
9. 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, comments@oceanfirstdivers.com.
10. Third Parties
Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this
document addresses only the use and disclosure of information we
collect from you. If you disclose your information to others, different
rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you
disclose to them. Since Ocean First Divers does not control the privacy
policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy policies
of those third parties. We encourage you to ask questions before
you disclose your personal information to others.
11. Changes to this Statement
Ocean First Divers, LLC 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.
