Information about our Website

The bp employee PAC is responsible for this website, which is governed by the laws of the United States. The courts of the United States shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of your use of it.

Collection, Use & Retention of Personal Information

If during your visit to this website you submit information to us, you are choosing to provide us with your personal information. Minimal personal information such as your name, work email and business address is collected if you choose to join and contribute to the PAC. This information will be used to set up a recurring payroll deduction, and to communicate to you with information related to PAC activities.

Personal information is held by us from the date of collection for the purposes of compliance with the FEC rules and related compliance obligations, after which time it may be deleted or aggregated so that it no longer directly identifies you.

Security

Transmission of information via the internet is not always secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your data while being transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. However, once we have received your information, we take appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification or unlawful destruction or accidental loss of personal information once it is under our control.

In order to provide our products and services we may, however, need to share your personal information with other companies within the bp Group, and/or third party service providers that process data on our behalf. If you submit personal information to bp, you agree to such disclosure.

We reserve the right to disclose your personal information as required by law, or when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, request from a regulator or any other legal process served on bp.

For example, we may share personal information as follows:

with vendors, consultants, and other service providers or volunteers who are engaged by or working with us and who need access to such information to carry out their work for us;
