In addition, we may provide you with real time disclosures or additional information about the personal information handling practices of specific parts of our Services.

We collect personal information when you use our Services, create an account with us, or submit personal information to us. The types of personal information that we may collect about you include:
We collect this personal information when you use our Services or interact with us, such as when you submit your information through the Services or communicate with us, or through automated means as described below. We also obtain your personal information from other sources, including our affiliates and subsidiaries, our partners, our vendors, third-party online services, and social media platforms. In addition, we may obtain other personal information about you in ways that we describe at the time of collection.
To the extent we process deidentified information, we will maintain and use the information in deidentified form and will not attempt to reidentify the information unless otherwise done for the purposes identified in this Privacy Statement or permitted by applicable law.
We may use cookies, tags, and similar technologies to automatically collect information on our Services. These tracking technologies allow our technology providers to collect information including your IP address, your mobile device identifier, the type of internet browser you are using, operating system, referral URLs, date/time stamps, pages viewed, and simple keyword tags. Cookies or tags are bits of code that allow our technology partners to collect the information described above. We also use web pixels to analyze usage patterns on our Site. The use of pixels allows BP to record that a particular device, browser, or application has visited a particular webpage.
a. Cookies
Cookies are small web files that a site or its provider transfers to your device’s hard drive through your web browser that enables the site’s or provider’s system to recognize your browser and remember certain information.
Generally, we use first-party and third-party cookies for the following purposes: to make our Services function properly; to provide a secure browsing experience during your use of our Services; to collect passive information about your use of our Services; to measure how you interact with our marketing campaigns; to help us improve our Services; and to remember your preferences for your convenience.
We use the following types of cookies on our Services:
b. Other Tracking Technologies
To see how successfully our marketing campaigns or other Site goals are performing we sometimes use conversion pixels, which fire a short line of code to tell us when you have clicked on a particular button or reached a particular page (e.g., a thank you page once you have completed the procedure for subscribing to one of our services or have completed one of our forms). We also use web pixels to analyze usage patterns on our Site. The use of pixels allows BP to record that a particular device, browser, or application has visited a particular webpage. As described above, we may share your personal information by allowing these third-party ad and analytics services to collect personal information via automated technologies on our Services for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. The sharing also may be considered a “sale” or processing of personal information for targeted advertising under applicable law. Depending on where you reside, you may have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information or processing of your personal information for targeted advertising. Please see the “Your Choices and Rights” section below for additional information on the rights to opt-out of this disclosure of your information.

The BPme Rewards Program (the “Program”) offer members of the Program certain benefits in connection with their disclosure of personal information to bp. Such benefits may include offers such as BPme Rewards, Price Match, ScoreCard Rewards, credit card offers, or grocery rewards.
To participate in the Program, we require your first and last name, email address and phone number. When you register through the App, you also may provide a credit card number, debit card number or other financial information. We also collect the categories of personal information mentioned in Sections 1 and 11(a) above in connection with your participation in the Services.
Subject to certain restrictions, the Program offers members 5 cents off per gallon on every fuel purchased at participating bp and Amoco fuel stations. Additionally, members can participate in the subscription-based Price Match offer and receive the lowest price fuel of nearby gas stations up to a maximum discount of 5 cents per gallon. Members may also link their ScoreCard Rewards card and receive additional savings. Members may also receive credit card offers from bp’s co-branded credit card partner. Occasionally, BPme members receive additional savings, discounts, exclusive pricing and promotional offers provided as part of the Program. In addition, we may send members marketing and promotional communications by email, phone or through our App. For more information on the terms of the Program, please see the BPme Rewards Terms and Conditions, available here.
During registration, you must first consent to the BPme Rewards Terms and Conditions and create an account on our Site or App. You may withdraw from the Program at any time by accessing the deletion option in the App.
The Program offers certain financial incentives (including additional savings, discounts, exclusive pricing, and promotional offers) in exchange for the collection, retention, and the potential sale and sharing of the personal information we require for your participation in the Program. The savings, discounts, exclusive pricing, and promotional offers for members offered in connection with the Program, are reasonably related to our good faith estimate of the value provided to bp by your personal information. We estimate that the value to bp of the personal information you provided to facilitate participation in the Program is reasonably related to the financial incentives less the expenses related to offering these financial incentives.

This personal data is necessary for us to offers members of the Program certain benefits in connection with their disclosure of personal information to bp. Such benefits may include offers such as BPme Rewards, Price Match, ScoreCard Rewards, credit card offers, or grocery rewards.

We do not require Sensitive Data for participation in the Program or for you to receive benefits from the Program.
