What This Privacy Policy Covers

• This policy covers how Hi-Dive treats personal information that Hi-Dive collects and receives, including information related to your past use of Hi-Dive products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.

• This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Hi-Dive does not own or control, or to people that Hi-Dive does not employ or manage. In addition, certain Hi-Dive associated companies such as Google and Amazon have their own privacy statements which can be viewed by clicking on the links.

  • Information Collection and Use
  • • Hi-Dive collects personal information when you register with Hi-Dive, when you use Hi-Dive products or services, when you visit Hi-Dive pages or the pages of certain Hi-Dive partners, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes. Hi-Dive may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners or other companies.

• When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address, zip code, and musical interests. Once you register with Hi-Dive and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to us.

• Hi-Dive automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, Hi-Dive cookie information, and the page you request.

• Hi-Dive uses information for the following general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.

  • Information Sharing and Disclosure
  • • Hi-Dive does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you’ve requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:

• We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Hi-Dive under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Hi-Dive communicate with you about offers from Hi-Dive and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.

• We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;

• We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Hi-Dive’s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

• We transfer information about you if Hi-Dive is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Hi-Dive will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

• Hi-Dive does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.

  • Cookies
  • • Hi-Dive may set and access Hi-Dive cookies on your computer.

• Hi-Dive lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies’ use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to Hi-Dive’s cookies.

  • Your Ability to Edit Your Account Information and Preferences

• New categories of marketing communications may be added to the Marketing Preferences page from time to time. Users who visit this page can opt out of receiving future marketing communications from these new categories or they can unsubscribe by following instructions contained in the messages they receive.

• We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to the Hi-Dive service, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the Hi-Dive Newsletter, that are considered part of your Hi-Dive account, without offering you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving them.

  • Confidentiality and Security
  • We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
  • Changes to this Privacy Policy
