Thank you for visiting the dev.comediva.com website and reviewing this Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”). Comediva, LLC (“Comediva”, “we”, and “us”) respects the privacy of our users and has developed this Privacy Policy to demonstrate Comediva’s commitment to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to any Comediva website, operated by Comediva, that display or link to this Privacy Policy, including mobile sites (collectively “the Website”). This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices of the Website and explains the types of information collected from the visitors, users, customers and others of the Website (collectively or individually “Users”), how this information is used, to whom it is disclosed and how it is safeguarded. Your use of the Website and any personal information you provide on the Website remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Comediva Terms of Use.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through the Website, and does not apply to any information Comediva has received, obtained or may obtain through other means. Please understand that any video, image or other content posted at the direction of Users onto the Website becomes published content and is not considered personal information subject to this Privacy Policy.
Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for changes as it may change at any time. If we need to update the Privacy Policy in the future, we will post the revised Privacy Policy on the Website and update the “Last Updated” date to reflect the date the Privacy Policy was updated. Through your continued use of this Website after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified. Your continued use of the Website constitutes your acceptance to this Privacy Policy, and any applicable current and prior versions, and any amendments thereto.

If you have any questions about Comediva’s privacy practices, please feel free to communicate with us by referring to the last section of this Privacy Policy for instructions on how to contact us.
Information Collected
A. Personal Information Collected
We may collect personal information directly from you that can identify you. Providing your Personal Information to Comediva is each User’s choice. Personal Information that Comediva may collect from you include, but is not limited to, your name, postal address(es), telephone number(s), facsimile number(s), e-mail address(es), your likeness; and, if you transact business with us, financial information such as your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information) as well as any other information that you voluntarily provide. All such additional Personal Information shall be deemed to be “Personal Information” in connection with this Privacy Policy. When you provide Personal Information through our Website, the information may be sent to servers located in the United States and other countries around the world.
The Personal Information Comediva currently collects through the Website is personally identifiable information (such as your name and email address) that you provide to Comediva when you choose to participate in various activities on the Website such as creating an account, participating and entering contests/sweepstakes/promotions, subscribing to newsletters/mailing lists or other activities, and posting comments, feedback, ratings or other content on the Website. For example, you must first create an account in order to access certain features of the Comediva Website. To create an account, you must enter Personal Information such as your name and email address. You may also be required to enter Personal Information, such as your full name, address, phone number, email address, and credit card information to complete sales transactions with Comediva.
Your Personal Information may be collected from our Website through the following methods: e-mail and/or through online forms (“contact us” or “registration”) you complete, requests for information and through your activities with Comediva.
B. General Information Collected
Comediva may gather and store certain navigational information about your visit that does not qualify as Personal Information because it does not contain your name, address, email address or other information that directly identifies you (“General Information”). However, this information may be associated with your Personal Information.
Comediva may use standard Internet technology to automatically collect General Information about the use of the Website. This technology is used to track things like how many Users access the Website, the date and time of their visits, the length of their stays, and which pages they view. The information collected using this technology does not identify any user personally and is thus all General Information that enables Comediva to compile statistics about Users and their use of the Website. This General Information includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- The Internet Protocol (“IP”) address of your Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) and/or your computer, if it has its own static IP address. The domain name may also be collected.
- The date, time, length of stay, and specific Comediva web pages, images, documents or forms accessed at this Website.
- Whether a visitor/user/customer is viewing the Website for the first time, or is a return visitor/user/customer.
- The Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the website that referred the visitor and/or user to the Website, and/or the search engine that referred a visitor and/or user and any search strings or phrases entered into the search engine to find this Website.
- Demographic information concerning the country of origin of the visitor and/or user and language(s) used.
- The type and version of the Internet browser used to visit this Website, the operating system on the visitor and/or user computer, and information regarding client errors viewing this Website.
C. Cookies and Other Technology
We may use cookies and other technology that allows us to associate your online navigational information with any Personal Information provided by you. This information will be used only for our purposes such as to improve our business, transact business, and to market our Website and services through various media.
The use of cookies is a standard practice among websites. A cookie is a small piece of data that is stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. The cookie is placed on your computer to uniquely distinguish your visit to a website. Cookies are most often used to track specific information regarding your activity on a particular website.
When you visit our Website, we may place a cookie in a directory of your computer’s hard drive. The information that cookies collect includes the date and time of your visit and your registration information. Cookies are used as a convenience feature for the User. For example, they allow Comediva to recognize certain information, such as your browser type, so we know if you can view certain plug-ins like Macromedia Flash files. They also allow us to streamline your visit to the Website based on your previous visits.
Comediva may use both temporary and persistent cookies. We may use session-ID cookies (temporary) to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies would terminate once the user closes the web browser. We may also use persistent cookies that store certain Personal Information you already provided to us to make it easier for you to log into the Website. You can delete or block cookies using the settings in your browser, by following the instructions contained in your browser’s help file, or by contacting the company providing your browser’s technical support. You may configure your browser to accept or deny cookies from this Website. However, disabling or denying cookies from this Website may render parts of it inaccessible or may cause certain web pages not to properly load.
Use of Information
Comediva may use your Personal Information, General Information and cookies to improve the quality and design of the Website and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends. For example, Comediva may use Personal Information, General Information and cookies to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Comediva Websites; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests.
Comediva uses the Personal Information collected on the Website to provide you with our Services. “The Services” means all the services offered in conjunction with the Website. For example, if you enter Personal Information to create an account, that Personal Information will be used to create your account and allow you to access certain features of the Website.
Please be aware that any Personal Information or other content that you voluntarily disclose online (comments, ratings, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected, viewed and used by others. Your account name (not your email address) may be displayed to other Users. Any User submission that you transmit to the Website may be redistributed through the internet and other media channels, and may be viewed by the general public. We do not screen, filter or monitor User submissions to the Website, nor do we scrape or glean personal information from any such submissions; however, to the extent that any comment or other User submission contains Personal Information, such Personal Information may be viewed by other Users of the Website.
Comediva may also use the Personal Information to contact you about our services or for other reasons, such as but not limited to sending you marketing materials or requesting your feedback on the Website. If you wish to opt-out of these contacts, please let us know by following the “unsubscribe” instructions that accompanied the contact email or by contacting privacy@comediva.com. Even if you opt-out of certain contacts, we may use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major Website changes or for customer service purposes).
When you send email or provide other communications to Comediva, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve Comediva’s services. For example, Personal Information submitted by you on the “Contact Us” web page may be used by Comediva to enhance this Website, provide better service, improve our products, and/or to reply to questions/comments made by you.
Disclosure of Information
Comediva may share General Information with third parties to improve the content and functionality of the Website, to better understand our customers and markets, and to improve our products and services. We may use the information to customize the Website according to your interests. We may use this information to provide you with targeted advertising, so that the advertisements you may see on the Website are of more interest to you. Comediva does share General Information or other non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the Websites.
Comediva may share your Personal Information and General Information with authorized third-parties, such as service providers, that perform services on our behalf which include, but is not limited to, providing customer service and marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis, supporting our website functionality, supporting contests, sweepstakes, surveys and other features offered through the Website. For example, Comediva may work with other companies who help either gather your information or communicate with Users. Your opt-out of receiving information from us and/or third parties will not apply to sharing by Comediva of your Personal Information with any of these third parties. Except as separately permitted by other provisions of this Privacy Policy, while these service providers may have access to your Personal Information in order to perform their functions, they are not permitted to share or use this information for any other purpose.
Comediva may disclose Personal Information to third parties if: (1) required or authorized to do so by law such as if your information is subject to disclosure in response to judicial or governmental subpoenas, warrants, or orders served on Comediva; (2) your information is subject to disclosure to protect Comediva’s rights or property, to enforce the provisions of this Privacy Policy and/or Comediva’s Terms of Use, and/or to prevent harm to yourself or other; (3) your information is subject to disclosure or transfer if Comediva or its business is sold or offered for sale to another entity or individual(s), a petition for relief is filed under U.S. Bankruptcy laws for or against Comediva, or if Comediva becomes subject to an order of appointment of a trustee or receiver; (4) you have authorized the disclosure; (5) it is part of a specific feature for which you have the ability to opt-in or opt-out; or (6) it is reasonably necessary to provide you with the Services.
Comediva reserves the right to release and/or use all information contained within our databases, access logs or other records concerning you if you violate this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use or other rules, policies, notices, agreements or guidelines, or intentionally or unintentionally partake (or are reasonably suspected of partaking) in any illegal activity, including, but not limited to, hacking, even without a subpoena, warrant or other court order, and to release such information in response to court and governmental orders, civil subpoenas, discovery requests and as otherwise required by law, and/or to initiate our own legal proceedings. Comediva cooperates with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using the Website (or any part thereof) for illegal activities. Comediva also reserves the right to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement individuals or entities for investigation or prosecution.
Comediva may purchase a business or sell one or more of our businesses and your Personal Information may be transferred as a part of the purchase or sale. Comediva reserves the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our Users as part of any such merger, acquisition, sale or other change of control. Comediva may sell, rent, give or otherwise share your Personal Information with Comediva’s successors, assigns, affiliates and other third parties. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, we may not be able to control how your Personal Information is treated, transferred, or used.
Comediva may take your Personal Information and make it non-personally identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals (aggregating your information with information about other individuals), or by removing characteristics (such as your name) that make the information personally identifiable to you (de-personalizing your information). Given the nature of this information, there are no restrictions under this Privacy Policy upon the right of Comediva to aggregate or de-personalize your personal information, and Comediva may use and/or share with third parties the resulting non-personally identifiable information in any manner in Comediva’s sole discretion.
Unless legally required to do so, Comediva will not sell, rent or otherwise disclose your Personal information to any outside company or organization, except as described herein. This Privacy Policy excludes data that may be stored or transmitted to or from the internet company hosting this Website.
Third-party Advertisers
We allow other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the Website. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Websites. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content you see.
You may also opt out of some, but not all, of third-party advertiser cookies at Network Advertising Initiative opt-out website: www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp
Comediva does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. However, please note that if an advertiser asks Comediva to show an advertisement to a certain audience or audience segment and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the Website, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks (see links below) for more information on their practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices. The third-party advertiser links below are provided for your convenience. Comediva’s privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites. If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through your individual browser options. More detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers’ respective websites.

What Choices Do You Have Over How Your Information Is Used?
You can always choose not to submit Personal Information through the Website in which case Comediva may not be able to provide certain Services to you.
If you have an online account with Comediva, you have the ability to review and update your Personal Information online by logging into your account. You may also choose to close your account at any time by contacting us at privacy@comediva.com. After your account is closed, we may still retain certain information associated with your account for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Use, take actions we deem necessary to protect the Website or our Users, or take other actions otherwise permitted by law. In addition, if certain information has been provided to third parties as provided in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third party policies.
You can also review and update your Personal Information by contacting us. Please contact Comediva with any questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, or your Personal Information at privacy@comediva.com. If you believe that any of your information is incorrect or needs updating, please let us know at the e-mail address listed in this section. Comediva will use reasonable efforts to correct your information and our records upon verification of the requested change. If you no longer wish to receive e-mail or postal notifications about Comediva’s Website, goods, services, or special promotions, please let us know by sending an e-mail or letter specifying which notifications you no longer wish to receive. In addition, within the text of your e-mail or letter, you should provide your exact name, email address and/or address, so that we can do our best to ensure that you stop receiving such notifications. Please see “Contact Us” in the last section of this Privacy Policy for our contact information. After such a request is received, Comediva will use reasonable efforts to refrain from including you when sending such notifications to Comediva’s Users by noting your request in our database.
Storage of Information
All information gathered on the Website is stored in a database to which only Comediva and Comediva’s hosting service providers have access. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so while Comediva strives to protect your Personal Information, Comediva cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you voluntarily give to Comediva and you do so at your own risk. Once Comediva receives your transmission of information, Comediva makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
No Collection of Personal Information from Children Under 13
We recognize the need to provide additional privacy protections for the Personal Information of children under 13. The Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires general audience website operators to obtain a parent’s prior consent if they are knowingly collecting, using or disclosing any Personal Data from a child under 13. Comediva does not knowingly solicit or collect information from children under 13, and the Website is not directed to nor intended to be used by persons under 13 (or under 18 for that matter). If you are under 13 years of age, do not use or access the Website at any time or in any manner. If Comediva learns that personally identifiable information of persons under 13 years of age has been collected on the Website without verified parental consent, then Comediva will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you believe that we might have any personally identifiable information from or about a child under 13 that has been provided to us without parental consent, please contact us at privacy@comediva.com.
Security
The security and confidentiality of your information is extremely important to us. To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you account access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.
We maintain technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access and improper use. For example, access to your Personal Information may be subject to certain security measures, including technological controls such as “firewalls.” From time to time, we review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods.
Please be aware though that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so while Comediva strives to protect your Personal Information, Comediva cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to Comediva, and you do so at your own risk.
Comediva reserves the right to monitor all network traffic to the Website to identify and/or block unauthorized attempts or intrusions to upload or change information or cause damage to this Website in any manner. Anyone using this Website expressly consents to such monitoring.
