Privacy Policy
Policy Regarding the Protection of Personal Data on the Websites of IDS Europe BV.
The security and protection of your personal information is important to KPNWE. In the way we conduct our activities, we will handle your personal data carefully and apply the applicable rules in the field of privacy, data protection, and data security in the countries where KPNWE manages websites. The policy outlined below explains what information KPNWE will collect, how KPNWE will use that information, and with whom we will share it.
Personal Data
KPNWE will not generally collect personally identifiable information about you through our websites (e.g., your name, address, gender, date of birth, telephone number, and/or email address ("personal data"), unless you voluntarily choose to provide it to us (e.g., by registering, sending a request via email, filling out a survey form, etc.). If you do not want your personal information to be collected, please ensure you do not send it to us.
When you provide us with personal information, you give us permission to store and use this data. We will use your personal data for the following purposes: to respond to your request, process your order, manage our contracts, grant you access to specific account information, inform you about the latest news about IDS, about improvements to the websites, about special offers and promotions offered through this site and/or IDS gas stations. We also use this information to maintain our relationship with you as a customer, including measuring responses to our marketing actions:
- We may process and distribute personal data within the Kuwait Petroleum Group to gain a better understanding of your business needs and how we can improve our products and services; or
- We (or a third party on our behalf) may use personal information to contact you in the context of a KPNWE offer or to meet other business needs, or to conduct online surveys to gain a better understanding of the desires and profiles of our customers.
Since the Kuwait Petroleum Group also operates outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the information you send may also be transmitted outside the EEA. These and all other transmissions will be carried out in a secure manner and only under our supervision.
If you choose not to have your personal data used to support our customer relationship programs (especially direct marketing or market research), we will respect your choice. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties in any way.
Non-Personal Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our websites, we may automatically (i.e., not by registration) collect information that cannot be identified as personal (e.g., the type of internet browser and computer operating system; the domain name of the website you previously visited; the number of visits, the average time you spent on the site, the pages you viewed). We may use this information and distribute it within the Kuwait Petroleum Group to analyze the use of our websites and to improve their content.
"Cookies" - Information Automatically Placed on Your Computer
When you view one of our websites, we may store certain information on your computer in the form of a "cookie." Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a browser on your computer. We use cookies to record your preferences (language choice, favorite gas station), to register information specific to you (such as viewed pages), and to measure traffic and browsing behavior on the website. Cookies allow us to collect information about the use of our services and improve and adjust them to the wishes of our visitors, e.g., to save your password so you do not have to enter it each time. If you choose not to be recognized, you can erase cookies from your computer's hard drive via your internet browser, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.
If you prefer not to allow cookies on your computer, you can find an option to disable them in all common browsers. In that case, you may not be able to use some services on one of our websites.
Children
Children are not allowed to send personal information to the KPNWE websites without the permission of their parents or guardian. KPNWE encourages all parents or guardians to teach their children how to handle their personal information safely and responsibly while surfing the internet. If KPNWE becomes aware that personal information has been provided by children, KPNWE will not collect or use it for any purpose.
Security
KPNWE takes precautions to ensure the security of your personal information as much as possible and strives to keep it accurate. We aim to protect your information rigorously against loss, destruction, falsification, manipulation, and unauthorized access to the data.
Links to Other Websites
The KPNWE websites may contain links to other websites. KPNWE is not responsible for compliance with privacy rules and/or the content of other websites. The use of your personal information sent to other websites is not our responsibility. We cannot be held responsible for the privacy policies of other websites, nor for the implementation of those policies, even if:
- You accessed the third-party website via links on our KPNWE websites; or
- You reached our websites via a third-party website.
We recommend checking the policy of each site you visit and contacting the owner or administrator of those websites if you have concerns or questions.
Rights
Under the law, you have the right to access your personal data as well as the right to correct, supplement, and/or delete incorrect information. Additionally, you can file a written objection to the processing of your personal data regarding commercial prospecting.
Changes
We will gradually adapt our policy regarding the protection of your personal data to technological developments on the internet.
