The subject of the spell is warded from divination spells such as clairaudience, clairvoyance, ESP, locate object, and the various detect spells. Magical divination items such as crystal balls and medallions of ESP are also unable to detect the target. It doens't affect the know alignment spell, or the ability of creatures of high Intelligence or level to see invisible creatures.
When such a spell is attempted, the caster can make a saving throw vs. spell. On a success, the divination cannot percieve the warded target.
