USES OF INFORMATION
WE WILL NEVER SELL YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION, TO ANY THIRD PARTY WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION. EVER.

Except as described in this section, we will not disclose your personal information to any third party without notifying you of our intent to share the information and giving you an opportunity to prevent your information from being shared.

From time to time, we may partner with companies based on the interests of our users. These partner companies will never see your email address or any other information that could identify you or be used to contact you directly.

Any exceptions to this policy of sharing your name, address or email address with a partner company will be done only with your permission.

Groove ID reserves the right to disclose information when required by law.

We occasionally use other companies to perform services necessary to our operations. In the course of providing these services, those companies may have access to your personal information. By contractual agreement, those companies must treat your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, we will not be liable for any damages that may result from the misuse of your personal information by these companies.

Groove ID may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with Groove ID’s server and to administer Groove ID’s web site. Your IP address may also be used to help identify you and your online profile and to gather broad demographic information.

The Groove ID site registration form requires users to give Groove ID contact information (such as your name and email address) and demographic information (such as your zip code or age). Groove ID uses your contact information from the registration form to send you information about Groove ID and promotional material from some of Groove ID’s partners. Your contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary. Groove ID may use demographic and/or profile data to tailor your experience on the Groove ID website and/or applications, show you content that Groove ID thinks you may be interested in, and display content according to your preferences. The demographic and profile data will be shared with third parties ONLY on an aggregate basis. Furthermore, Groove ID shall have the right to retain records of all data pertaining to use of the website and applications including, but not limited to, usage, activity logs, and click-throughs. Groove ID may disclose such data to third parties provided it is grouped with other Groove ID users’ data and is presented in an aggregate form.

We may also disclose, on an anonymous basis, statements made by our users.
