We maintain the standards set forth in this Privacy Policy to help protect information that personally identifies you. By using the Site, you agree to comply with and be bound by all terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced in this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use, which we also urge you to read. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you are prohibited from using the Site.

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes, we will notify you by posting the date of the most recent revisions to the Privacy Policy on this page.

Collection of Information

You may be asked to voluntarily provide your name, email address, home address, telephone number, age, gender, or other personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") to register or have access to some features of the Site. By using the Site and providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to our use of such information as described in this Privacy Policy. You may always refuse to provide your Personal Information, but this may lead to our inability to provide you with certain access or services.

Circle K or its business partners may also collect information that is anonymous, such as the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet (for example, "aol.com"); the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of the computer you are using (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider); the browser software you use and your operating system; and the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to this Site (collectively, "Anonymous Information"), through the use of cookies or by other means. We hope that, by using Anonymous Information, we can update the Site to make it more useful to you and other users. We reserve the right to maintain, update, disclose, or otherwise use Anonymous Information, without limitation.

Use of Information

Circle K may use your Personal Information for the following purposes: to register and administer your account; to administer and improve the Site and related services; to notify you of our products, services, promotional events or special offers that may be of interest to you; to conduct sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions; to conduct surveys and solicit feedback regarding the Site and Circle K products and services; to respond to your comments, questions or suggestions; to provide Internet security; and to meet legal requirements. We may work with our business partners who may perform certain functions on our behalf, such as sending communications related to Circle K products and services; responding to your inquiries; managing sweepstakes, contests, or other promotions; managing data; or providing customer service. These business partners have access to your Personal Information only to the extent necessary to perform these specific functions and may not use it for any other purpose.

Other than for the specific purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose your Personal Information unless we obtain your prior consent or are legally required to do so. We may use third party advertising companies to place ads on the Site and to place our ads on other websites. These companies may use Anonymous Information about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements on the Site and other sites about products and services that may be of interest to you. If Circle K is involved in the sale of a substantial portion of its business assets, Anonymous or Personal Information may be among the transferred assets.

Forums

Circle K may provide chat rooms, discussion boards, online forums and other interactive technologies (collectively, "Forums") to users of the Site.

If you voluntarily disclose Personal Information in a public area of the Site, such as a Forum, that information may be collected and used by a third party to send you unsolicited messages, advertisements, or for other purposes. Circle K does not control the actions of third parties in Forums and other public areas of the Site. If you disclose Personal Information in a public area, you do so at your own risk. Further, any communications within the Site and Forums travel through Circle K's servers and any such communications that you send or receive may be monitored by Circle K.
