Third Parties

Eventide does not sell to third parties information you have submitted to this Site that identifies you personally.

On occasion, Eventide may offer in conjunction with third parties certain services that may require you (or Eventide) to share your personal information with that third party as a condition for providing that service.

As noted in the Terms of Use Eventide intends to cooperate with any order or request from law enforcement officials or a court of competent jurisdiction for information as to the identity of individuals submitting or posting information to Eventide or on this Site.

Eventide may make the results of any survey publicly available, although Eventide will not attribute any particular response to you without your permission.

On occasion Eventide may make available to users of the Site contests, sweepstakes, or similar events in which they may qualify for participation.

Such third party events are governed solely by any applicable rules, and may require you to provide information to that third party as a condition for participation.
