    3. Profile

      We store all of the information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or third party sources to create a “profile” of your preferences. We tie your personally identifiable information and your purchasing history to information in the profile, in order to provide tailored promotions and marketing offers and to improve the content of the Site for you. We may share your profile, in aggregate form, with third parties.

    4. Supplementation of Information

      In order to provide certain services to you, we may on occasion supplement the personal information you submitted to us with information from third party sources. For example, we may use an external service to verify your address and other information, in order to confirm that your user profile is accurate. In addition, we may purchase marketing data from third parties and add it to our existing user database, to better target our advertising and to provide pertinent offers in which we think you would be interested. To enrich our user profiles of individual customers, we tie this information to the personally identifiable information they have provided to us.

  4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

    1. Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)

      We share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners and advertisers. Aggregated information is information about more than one individual, where the identity of the individual is not known, and cannot be inferred from the information. Sharing this information permits our advertisers to know whether our Site will permit the advertisers to target their goods and services to a specific demographic (for example, to know whether there are any unmarried, over-40 year old scuba divers in our user base). In such circumstances, we do not link aggregate user data with personally identifiable information.

    2. Personally identifiable information

      We share personally identifiable information with Sites that are owned by GoSeeTell Network, Inc. or its parent companies, subsidiaries or affiliated companies. For example, if you indicate that you are a female traveler, and a Site in the GoSeeTell family of companies caters directly to travelers that like to scuba (“Scuba Site”), we will provide your contact information and profile to the Scuba Site. The Scuba Site then may contact you via email regarding their Site, the offerings on that Site, and information related to scuba diving. This Site allows you to opt out of such sharing on the Profiles page.

      Further, we may share your personally identifiable information in the following ways:

      1. Agents. We may use an outside shipping company to fulfill orders, and a credit card processing company to bill you for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any other purposes.

  5. Legal Disclaimer

    We reserve the right to disclose personally identifiable information without your consent and without notice to you as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Site. The legal process may require us to disclose or allow access to personal information such as your account, billing, payment and postings. We may also use or disclose personally identifiable information about you without your consent (a) to protect our other customers, employees, or property, (b) in emergency situations, (c) to enforce our rights in court or elsewhere, or directly with you, for violations of service terms, conditions or policies and/or (d) as otherwise required by law, for example, as part of a regulatory proceeding.

  6. Choice/Opt-out

    You will be able to opt out of receiving communications from the Site, except for the Welcome/Confirmation email that is sent when you sign up for the Site. If you do not opt-out from receiving communications about our Site, we will continue sending them to you.

    You may change your preferences for receiving communications from us at the Profile page . Further, we will provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information.

    You will be notified when your personal information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.

    1. Retention and storage

      We will retain your personally identifiable information in our databases in accordance with our document management and retention policy and applicable laws. This period may extend beyond the end of your relationship with us, but it will be only as long as it is necessary for us to have sufficient information to respond to any issues that may arise later.

  8. Security

    GoSeeTell employs physical, administrative and technical safeguards to help protect the confidentiality and integrity of information collected by this Site and to reduce the risk of loss, misuse, unauthorized access disclosure or modification of such information. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Site, you can send email us at [].

    If you choose to contact GoSeeTell through the Site, you should be aware that any information transmitted electronically might not be secure. GoSeeTell assumes no liability for the loss of any information that you transmit to us electronically. In communicating with you, we may send e-mail as unencrypted plain text because we are aware that most persons cannot readily process encrypted e-mail. This is done for your convenience, but with the security concern that, if misrouted or intercepted, it could be read more easily than encrypted e-mail.

You will be notified via email or notice on our Site for 30 days of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

Privacy Statement changes will apply to the information collected from the date we post the revised Privacy Statement to the Site, as well as to existing information held by us.

    We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently.
