O'Neill Privacy Policy
We at O'Neill, Inc. ("O'Neill") know that privacy is a major concern of visitors to our web site ("Site"). This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that are collected by O'Neill on its Site, how we use and protect it, and when we share it with third parties. This Policy also explains the choices that you can make about the way your information is collected and used. This Policy applies only to personal information collected via this Site, but not to advertisements, promotions or offers that we may sponsor or participate in on web sites owned by third parties. Nor does this online Privacy Policy apply to personal information we may collect offline (e.g., such as at an O'Neill sponsored event). By using this Site, you signify that you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

The Information We Collect
O'Neill does not collect any Personal Information via this Site unless you provide it to us voluntarily. As used in this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means any information that is linked to your identity, such as your name, contact information and information about your registered O'Neill gear. We may collect some or all of these types of Personal Information when you register your O'Neill gear on our Site or participate in an online sweepstakes, contest, game, survey, questionnaire or promotion. When you provide us with Personal Information, you are authorizing us to use that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Like most web sites, this Site gathers traffic patterns, site usage information and other aggregated data in order to evaluate our visitors' preferences and the effectiveness of our Site. This aggregate usage data does not identify you individually. We may share anonymous, aggregated statistics about visitors to our Site with others outside our company, or we may allow third-parties to collect aggregate data through our Site, but such information will not identify you personally. At this time, our Site does not use "cookies" or web beacons.

The Way We Use Personal Information
We use the Personal Information you share with us to provide the services you request (for example, to enter you in a sweepstakes or register your O'Neill gear). We also use Personal Information to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, and to improve this Site. We also may use it to contact you regarding O'Neill's products or promotions that may be of interest to you (including those we may offer jointly with other companies). At any time, however, you may opt out of future communications by sending us a reply message asking to unsubscribe from our contact lists. With Whom We May Share Information
In the course of doing business, we employ other companies to perform a variety of functions on our behalf. For example, at times we may retain third parties to analyze, update and correct data we collect on our Sites, including Personal Information, to help us improve our products and our Site. In addition, we may share Personal Information with agents, suppliers, fulfillment houses and other third parties to order to deliver prizes, information, products or services. These suppliers and other third parties may have access to your Personal Information if it is needed to perform their functions for O'Neill, but they are not authorized by us to use your Personal Information in any way other than the intended use. We also may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our Site with advertisers, business partners and other third parties. For example, we may tell a business partner the number of men and the number of women that entered a contest, but we do not disclose Personal Information about such contestants.

We may disclose any Personal Information to law enforcement, government officials or other third parties in order to protect the online community or our rights and property, to respond to a legal request for information, or as appropriate to address inquiries or problems. In addition, we may disclose Personal Information in conjunction with a merger, reorganization or sale to a third party of our company or a major portion of its assets.
