We may aggregate, anonymize and/or de-identify data we collect about customers and site visitors and use it for any purpose, including product and Service development and other business improvement activities.

To Whom Do We Provide Your Personal Data?

We may provide your personal data, including data in each of the categories described above, within the Phillips 66 group of companies. We may also provide that personal data to the following categories of entities:

• Service Providers.  We disclose your personal data to our vendors, contractors, and service providers for legitimate business purposes to provide services to us or on our behalf, such as providing data hosting, cloud services, sending out information and communications, processing transactions, analyzing data, providing technical support, and other business and professional services.  We provide these companies with only those elements of personal data they need to provide their services to us. 

• Third Parties to Process Transactions.   We may also disclose personal data in connection with certain transactions, such as to financial institutions; credit card issuers; insurers; brokers; professional advisors such as lawyers, accountants, or auditors; government entities; and shipping companies or postal services involved in fulfilling transactions, or to other third parties to whom you or your agents authorize us to disclose your personal data in connection with products or Services we provide to you or business that we conduct with you.

• Required Disclosures.  We may disclose your personal data if required to do so by law or in our good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or with legal process served on us, including litigation and investigations, and to protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.

• Business Transfers or Partners.  If we undertake or are involved in any merger, acquisition, joint venture, consortium, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or insolvency event, then we may transfer or provide some or all our assets, including your personal data, in connection with such transaction or in contemplation of such transaction (e.g., during due diligence).  We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before your personal data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We do not sell and have not sold your personal data or transferred such personal data to third parties to use for their or our own commercial benefit.

International Transfers in Global Operations

We may transfer personal data to and store personal data in countries other than the country where it was collected or from where you accessed our websites or applications.  Those countries may have different data privacy and protection laws than the countries from which the personal data was collected or from which you accessed our websites or applications.  To the extent required by applicable law, we will take measures to protect personal data so transferred or stored.  For example, we implement Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and United Kingdom and use similar contractual obligations to comply with applicable laws of other jurisdictions including data processing agreements in the United States.  By choosing to use our Services, including our websites and applications, and submitting personal data to us, you consent to the transfer of such personal data outside of your country of residence. 

How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Data?

We store personal information about you on computer systems operated by us or our service providers. As a regulated company, we keep various records that contain personal information in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations, or pursuant to contractual obligations. In general, we aim to keep personal information only for as long as necessary and only for the reason(s) we collected it. It may be necessary to keep personal information longer than our official retention periods for legal or regulatory reasons, including litigation. To support us in managing how long we hold personal information and our record management, we maintain a data retention policy which includes clear guidelines on retention and deletion.

We consider the following criteria when determining how long a particular record will be retained, including any personal information contained in that record:

• how long the record is needed to provide you with the products and services you request;
• how long the record is needed to support and enhance our operational processes;
• how long the record is needed to protect our rights and legal interests; and
• how long the record must be retained to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

The same personal information about you may be included in more than one record and used for more than one purpose, each of which may be subject to different retention periods based on the factors listed above.

Security Measures

We use technical, administrative, and procedural measures to safeguard your personal data from unauthorized access or use.  We use, and we require our service providers to use, industry standard security measures for securing and protecting personal data, which may include measures such as encrypting data in transit and at rest, as well as limiting access to personal data on a least privilege basis (i.e., giving each user access only to personal data needed to perform their specific job duties).  No such measure is ever 100% effective though, so we do not guarantee that your personal data will be secure from theft, loss, or unauthorized access or use, and we make no representation as to the reasonableness, efficacy, or appropriateness of the measures we use to safeguard such data.

Linked Websites

Our websites and applications may contain links to other websites, including those of other companies, organizations, and publications. These linked websites operate independently from our websites and applications, and we do not control and are not responsible for the content, security, or data privacy practices used by other entities.  You should review the privacy statements of those linked websites to determine how they protect and use your personal data.

Children

Our Services, including our websites and applications, are not directed to children under 16 years of age and we do not knowingly collect any personal data from children under 16.  If we learn that we collected the personal data of a child under the age of 16, we will use reasonable efforts to delete such information from our systems promptly.
