Our Privacy Policy

Kuwait Petroleum International’s Web Site Data Privacy Protection Policy

KPI’s Commitment to Data Privacy Protection

Protecting the security and privacy of your Personal Information is important to KPI and to the way we conduct our business in compliance with laws on privacy, data protection and data security in the countries in which we maintain Web sites. We hope the policy outlined below will help you understand what information KPI may collect, how KPI uses and safeguards that information and with whom we may share it.

Personal Information

Through our Web sites, KPI will not collect any personally identifiable information about you (e.g., your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address ("Personal Information")), unless you voluntarily choose to provide it to us (e.g., by registration, email enquiry, survey). If you do not want your Personal Information collected, please do not submit it to us.

When you do provide us with Personal Information, we usually use it to respond to your enquiry, process your order or provide you access to specific account information. Also, to support our customer relationship with you:

Since KPI operates globally, the information you submit may be transferred outside of the European Economic Area. This and all other transmissions will remain secure and under our sole control.

If you choose not to have your Personal Information used to support our customer relationship programmes (especially direct-marketing or market-research), we will respect your choice. We do not (and do not intend to in the future) sell, rent or otherwise market your Personal Information to third parties.

Non-Personal Information Collected Automatically

When you access our Web sites, we may automatically (i.e., not by registration) collect information that is not personally identifiable (e.g., type of Internet browser and computer operating system used; domain name of the Web site from which you came; number of visits, average time spent, pages viewed). We may use this information and share it within the Kuwait Petroleum Group of companies to measure the use of our Web sites and improve their content.

"Cookies" - Information Placed Automatically on Your Computer

When you view one of our Web sites, we may store some information on your computer in the form of a "Cookie" to automatically recognize you the next time you visit. Cookies can help us in many ways, for example, by allowing us to tailor a web site to better match your interests or to save your password so that you do not have to re-enter it each time. If you choose not to be recognized, please refer to your Internet browser to erase Cookies from your computer hard drive, block all Cookies, or receive a warning before a Cookie is stored.

Children

No Personal Information should be submitted to KPI's Web sites by children without the consent of their parent or guardian. KPI encourages all parents or guardians to instruct their children in the safe and responsible use of their Personal Information while using the Internet. KPI will not knowingly collect or use any Personal Information collected from children for any purpose whatsoever, including disclosure to third parties

Security

KPI takes precautions to ensure the security of your Personal Information and strives to keep it accurate. We carefully protect your Personal Information from loss, destruction, falsification, manipulation, and unauthorized access or unauthorized disclosure.

Links to Other Web Sites

This KPI Web site may contain links to other Web sites. KPI is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of other Web sites.

Use of your personal information submitted to other web sites

We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other web sites even if:

We recommend that you check the policy of each site you visit and contact the owner or operator of such web site if you have any concerns or questions.

Updates

As the Internet matures, so will our Data Privacy Protection Policy. We will post changes to our Data Privacy Protection Policy on this page as soon as the commitment has been made to alter any existing policy.
