We may also collect information about your personal or professional interests and your use of, or opinions about, various products, programs and/or services.

The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected about other people at these pages include: recipient’s name, address, e-mail address and telephone number.

We may also collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit our web pages or use our applications, such as the type of browser and operating system you are using, your IP address, your device identifiers, your Internet or wireless service provider, and location-based information.

It is highly recommended and suggested that you review the privacy policies and statements of any website you choose to use or frequent as a means to better understand the way in which other websites garner, make use of and share information collected.

How We Use the Information

Ocean News Network Radio may collect and may make use of personal information to assist in the operation of its Covered Sites, and Affiliates, including the Ocean News Network; Ocean News Network Caribbean websites, and to ensure delivery of the services you need and request, to respond to inquiries about offers and to offer other products, programs or services that may be of interest.  At times, we may find it necessary to use personally identifiable information to inform you of other possible products and/or services that may be available to you from ONN Radio, its Covered Sites, and Affiliates, including ONN. We may also be in contact with you with regards to completing surveys and/or research questionnaires related to your opinion of current or possible new services that are offered or may be offered.

Ocean News Network Radio does not now, nor will it in the future, sell, rent or lease any of its customer lists and/or names to any third parties.

Ocean News Network Radio, from time to time, may feel it necessary to make contact with you on behalf of other external business partners with regards to specific offers which may be of interest to you. If you consent or show interest in presented offers, then, at that time, specific identifiable information, such as name, email address and/or telephone number, may be shared with the third party.

Ocean News Network Radio may deem it necessary to follow websites and/or pages that their users may frequent in an effort to glean what types of services and/or products may be the most popular to customers or the general public.

• Ocean News Network Radio may disclose your personal information, without prior notice to you, only if required to do so pursuant to applicable laws and/or in a good faith belief that such action is deemed necessary or required to:
  • Conform to decrees, laws and/or statutes or in an effort to comply with any process which may be served upon Ocean News Network Radio and/or its websites;
  • Safeguard and/or preserve all the rights and/or property of Ocean News Network Radio, its Covered Sites; and
  • Perform under demanding conditions in an effort to safeguard the personal safety of users of Ocean News Network Radio and/or the general public.

We will disclose information we maintain when required doing so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency’s request.

If you choose to submit content (e.g., a “letter to the editor” or an online review), you give your consent that we may publish your name, screen name and other information you have provided to us. Ocean News Network Radio will sometimes use the information we collect to communicate with you, such as to notify you when you have won one of our contests or sweepstakes, when we make changes to subscriber agreements, to fulfill a request by you, or to contact you about your account.

The information we collect in connection with our online forums and communities is used to provide an interactive experience. We use this information to facilitate participation in these online forums and communities and, from time to time, to offer you products, programs, or services.

We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our publications and websites, and to enable us to customize your internet experience. We also may use this information to analyze site usage, as well as to offer you products, programs, or services.

We may disclose personally identifiable information that we receive from you and from third party sources to third parties whose practices are not covered by this privacy statement (e.g., other marketers, magazine publishers, retailers, participatory databases, and non-profit organizations) that want to market products or services to you.

We may combine information we receive with outside records and share such information with third parties for use on our behalf to enhance our ability to market to you those products or services that may be of interest to you.

Agents and contractors of Ocean News Network Radio that have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for Ocean News Network Radio.

We may transfer your personally identifiable information to other Ocean News Network stadia offices for internal management and administrative purposes on our behalf. Your personal data will be transferred to other Ocean News Network Radio offices as necessary for the performance or conclusion of our contractual obligations to you or for your benefit. To the extent not prohibited under applicable law, transfers and disclosures of personally identifiable information may also be made where necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, to protect the rights and properties of Ocean News Network Radio, our agents, customers, and others, including to enforce our agreements, policies, and terms of use; or to protect the personal safety of any person.

Please note that if Ocean News Network Radio or any of its subsidiaries or lines of business is merged, acquired, divested, financed, sold, disposed of or dissolved, including through merger of, consolidation, sale or divestiture of assets, the relevant customer database, including personally identifiable information we may possess about you, may, in whole or in part, be sold, disposed of, transferred, divested, or otherwise disclosed as part of that transaction or proceeding.

Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.  Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the site for access to personally identifiable information about themselves for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.

Our Commitment to Security

Ocean News Network Radio has put in place appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security and correctly use the information we collect.

Accessing, Correcting, and Deleting Your Personal Information

We will take reasonable steps to accurately record the personal information and any subsequent updates that you provide to us.

We encourage you to review, update, and correct the personal information that we maintain about you, and you may request that we delete personal information about you that is inaccurate, incomplete, or irrelevant for legitimate purposes, or are being processed in a way which infringes any applicable legal requirements, by contacting us as set out in the “How to Contact Us” section below. At our election, instead of deleting such information, we may retain it with your comment or correction noted in our records. By contacting us, you may also object to our further use of your personal information if you have compelling legitimate grounds (this may involve closing your account). We may ask you to verify your identity and to provide other details before we are able to provide you with any information, correct any inaccuracies, or delete any information. Your right to review, update, correct, and delete your personal information may be limited, subject to the law of your jurisdiction: (i) if your requests are abusive or unreasonably excessive, (ii) where the rights or safety of another person or persons would be encroached upon, or (iii) if the information or material you request relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between you and us, or providing access to you would prejudice negotiations between us or an investigation of possible unlawful activity. Your right to review, update, correct and delete your information is subject to our records retention policies and applicable law, including any statutory retention requirements.

Retention of Personal Information

We will retain your personal information while you have an account with us and thereafter for as long as we need it for purposes not prohibited by applicable laws. Thereafter, we will either delete your personal information or de-identify it so that it is anonymous and not attributed to your identity. Your rights to request that we delete your personal information are set forth in the “Accessing, Correcting, and Deleting Your Personal Information” section above.

Please note that the opt-out is cookie-based and will only affect the specific computer and browser on which the opt out is applied.
