PRIVACY POLICY
1. Our Commitment To Privacy and Restrictions on Use of Our Site
GOEdiving.com (“Site”) is an Internet property of GOE International, Inc., its subsidiary or affiliate (“GOE,” “we,” “us”). Your privacy is important to us. In this statement we explain our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.
This Site may not be used by persons under eighteen (18) years of age. Persons under that age must not disclose any
information to us.
Please note that if you use the Site to request alerts, newsletters or invitations to educational seminars or additional
information, such request will not create a business relationship with GOE or any of its employees or professionals. Such a relationship would require direct, personal contact between you and GOE through one or more employees or other professionals, and would also require an agreement that confirms that a relationship is established and provides the terms of that relationship. Similarly, posted invitations to contact GOE for additional information will not be deemed solicitations to provide any goods or services. Information provided on the Site or otherwise should not be construed as a statement or guaranty of the availability of any goods, the availability of our employees to perform any services, or the availability of particular pricing for goods or services.
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to you if you are an employee or contractor of GOE who is using this Site. Please consult GOE for details on acceptable use of GOE’s computer equipment, including its mobile devices, desktop computers, workstations and servers.
2. The Information We Collect

We do not accept credit card or bank account information through this Site but may use a third party provider for such services. We do collect information on the forms that you complete in connection with responses to employment solicitations or other invitations to seminars or similar activities, or if you make an inquiry about our goods or services.

• Any other personal information the user submits during the course of correspondence with us concerning employment opportunities, seminars or similar activities, or inquiries about goods or services
We also collect non-personally identifiable information. Non-personally identifiable information is information collected in the normal course of operating our business that does not reveal the specific identity of the user. This data records activity either on this Site or within Site-initiated email. The types of non-personally identifiable information collected include:
• Internet protocol (“IP”) address
• Information about a site from which you reached our Site, such as a search engine page

When you access our Site via the Internet, our servers automatically record certain information in a server log. These
server logs may include information such as your web request, your interaction with a service, browser type, browser
language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your
account.
Our Site’s servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address, which is a unique string of numbers that is
assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider. IP addresses are automatically logged by web servers,
collecting information about a user’s traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual who is using the Internet. Your IP address can also reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or which ISP you are using. Your IP address may be used to address problems with our server, administer our Site and/or to gather broad demographic information about users of the Site. Finally, the other websites that you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages, as well.
