What information does Allegiance Refining collect from me?

Allegiance Refining may collect information in several ways. For example, in the future, we will offer you the ability to inquire about employment with our company in which case we will ask you for personal information such as your job preferences, employment history, employment status, references, skills, contact information, and e-mail address. In the future, we may have pricing information available on the website and mobile applications about our products and services, in which case we may gather some personal information when you register as a customer or potential customer using our account interface. During registration, we will ask for your contact information, information about your demand for our products and services, and your e-mail address. Once you register, you are no longer anonymous to Allegiance Refining and are able to take full advantage of our services. In addition to registration, we may ask you for information at other times, such as when you report a problem with our website, mobile applications, or services, or contact the company via the corporate e-mail address. If you contact Allegiance Refining, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

If you believe that any inaccurate or inappropriate information has been obtained or disseminated through your use of this website and Allegiance Refining mobile applications, you should contact a representative of Allegiance Refining.

What are cookies and how does Allegiance Refining use them?

As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, many websites use cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We may use cookies to allow faster and easier access to your account information, monitor traffic on the website and mobile applications, and measure traffic patterns to improve functionality. Allegiance Refining website pages or mobile applications may in the future contain electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes called clear gifs or web bugs) or other advanced technologies that are useful in the provision of services to you. We may use such devices to verify compliance with our terms and conditions of use or with any promotions on the website or mobile application.

How does Allegiance Refining use the information?

Allegiance Refining's primary goal in collecting information is to improve the website or mobile application and provide the user with the best possible experience. For example, by using the information collected, we are able to provide you with an easy-to-use and readily available forum to access your Allegiance Refining account information. We will also use your personal information to notify you of other products or services available from Allegiance Refining and its affiliates. In connection with our employment inquiry section, we will provide your information to our personnel. We may contact you regarding your request for employment.

Only Allegiance Refining and its affiliates and service providers will have access to individuals' account information or employment information. We also may do research on our users' demographics and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, gathered from transaction activity, from our server log files, or from surveys. This research may be compiled, analyzed, or sold on an aggregated basis, which does not include information identifying individual users. Allegiance Refining also may share this aggregated data with business partners or other third parties.

Who is collecting information?

When you are on an Allegiance Refining website or mobile applications and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with Allegiance Refining and its affiliates and service providers. If personal data is to be collected and/or maintained by any company other than Allegiance Refining or its affiliates, we will attempt to notify you on the website, mobile application, or in an updated version of this Privacy Policy. If you do not want your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using that particular service.

Please be aware that other websites to which we link may collect personally identifiable information about you when you visit those sites. The information practices of other websites linked to our websites or mobile applications are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

With whom does Allegiance Refining share my information?

We will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information to third parties except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. The following describes some of the ways that your information may be disclosed.

Data in the Aggregate: We may disclose "blinded" aggregated data and user statistics to prospective partners and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes. Blinded data is data which does not identify an individual person.

Other: We also may disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating Allegiance Refining's Terms of Use, or may otherwise be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Allegiance Refining's rights or property, other Allegiance Refining website and mobile application users or customers, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging and mailing, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail, providing investor information, and processing data. We will only provide those companies with the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell businesses or assets. In such transactions, confidential customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of a transaction involving the sale of some or all of Allegiance Refining's businesses, customer, and website and mobile application visitor information may be one of the transferred assets.

How can I control my personal information?

Allegiance Refining offers its customers choices for the collection, use, and sharing of personal information. You may contact us if you wish to view, edit or delete your personal information from our database, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate your request.

How does Allegiance Refining protect financial-related information?

Keeping your personal financial information private is vitally important to us. As a matter of policy and long-time business practice, Allegiance Refining does not sell information provided by its customers. Any user statistics that we may provide to prospective partners regarding financial matters are provided in the aggregate only and do not include any personally identifiable information about any individual user.

What security precautions are in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of my information?

We use encryption technology for passwords and registration information. Remember to sign out of your Allegiance Refining account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account by using your computer when you are away from it. Because of the global nature of the Internet, when you give us information, that information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Except as discussed above or otherwise designated, our website and mobile applications do not use security encryption measures. Therefore, information that you disclose by use of our website and mobile applications (as with any website or mobile application that is non-secure), by posting a message, or using e-mail, potentially could be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties or use of such information by third parties for their own purposes, legal or illegal. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Allegiance Refining cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems.

What else should I know about my privacy?

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose information online, that information is accessible to other customers and users. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
