If you choose to use these websites, plug-ins, or services, you may disclose your information not just to those third parties, but also to their users and the public more generally depending on how their services function. Similarly, if you use a third-party app that works in connection with your Oil Shelf Services, you acknowledge that information may be shared with the third-party app during the connection that is necessary for the connection to function (e.g., information about how you use your Oil Shelf Service). If you choose to use these services and initiate these connections, Oil Shelf is not responsible for the content or practices of such third-party websites or services. The inclusion of these third-party websites, plug-ins, and services are provided solely as a convenience to our users, including you, and do not imply affiliation, endorsement, approval, control, or adoption by us of any Web site or any information or content contained therein. We make no claims or representations regarding, and accept no responsibility for, such third-party websites, plug-ins, and services, or for the quality, accuracy, nature, ownership or reliability thereof. When you leave the Websites or the App, you should be aware that our Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and any other of our policies no longer govern. The collection, use, and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third-party websites or services, and not this Privacy Policy.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that Oil Shelf shall not have any liability with respect to any third party’s data breaches.

13. Provide Personalized Services, Including Content
Personalized Content
We use the information we collect to customize our Services for you, including providing recommendations, personalized content, and customized search results. For example, we might make recommendations of other products you could try, too, using a third-party recommendation engine to help us determine which products you might like to try.
How We Provide Personalized Content
We use different technologies to process your information for these above purposes. We use automated systems that analyze your content to provide you with things like customized search results, personalized content, or other features tailored to how you use our Services. We also use algorithms to recognize patterns in data.
14. Retention Policies
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
We retain the data we collect for different periods of time depending on what it is and how we use it:
● Some data is anonymized automatically after a set period of time.
● We keep some data until you delete your Oil Shelf Account, such as information about how often you use our services. Please see “16. How to Export & Delete Data We Collect From You” (below) for more information about how to delete your personal information.
● And some data we retain for longer periods of time when necessary for legitimate business or legal purposes, such as security, fraud and abuse prevention, or financial record-keeping.
When you delete data, we follow a deletion process to make sure that your data is safely and completely removed from our servers or retained only in anonymized form. We try to ensure that our services protect information from accidental or malicious deletion. Because of this, there may be delays between when you delete something and when copies are deleted from our active and backup systems.
15. Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information
You have choices regarding the information we collect and how it is used. We have created mechanisms to provide you with control over your information. This section describes key controls for managing your privacy across our Services.
Oil Shelf Marketing and Advertising
From time to time, we may send you updates, alerts, news, and mailings relating to matters that we think may be of interest to you. Most messages we send will be via email. For some messages, we may use personal information we collect about you to help us determine the most relevant marketing information to share with you.
If you are in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we will only send you marketing messages if you have given us your consent to do so.
Opting out of Marketing and Promotional Communications
You can unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time. If you do not want to receive messages from us, you will be able to tell us when we first collect your contact details or by refusing or withdrawing your consent. You can also change your preference at a later date by: (i) clicking on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of our messages, (ii) visiting our “Preferences” settings to adjust your communication preferences, or (iii) by emailing us at support@oilshelf.app. You will then be removed from the marketing lists.

16. How To Export & Delete Data We Collect From You
Export Your Data
You can export a copy of content in your Oil Shelf Account if you want to back it up or
use it with a service outside of Oil Shelf. You can export your content at any time. To do so, please contact support@oilshelf.app.
Delete Your Data
You can delete your information from your Oil Shelf Account at any time. To delete your information, you can:

If you wish to delete all personal information we have that is not strictly necessary in order to maintain your account or provide the Oil Shelf service to you, please email support@oilshelf.app.
Legal Disclaimer
We may not be able to accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
17. Data Security
While no service is completely secure, we have implemented reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure.
We build security into our Services to protect your information. All Oil Shelf products are built with strong security features that continuously protect your information. The insights we gain from maintaining our Services help us detect and automatically block security threats from ever reaching you. And if we do detect something risky that we think you should know about, we will notify you and help guide you through steps to stay better protected.
Security Measures Used
We work hard to protect you and Oil Shelf from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information we hold, including:
● We use encryption to keep your data private while in transit.
● We regularly review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to prevent unauthorized access to our systems.
● We restrict access to personal information to Oil Shelf employees, contractors, and agents who need that information in order to process it. Anyone with this access is subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.
Acknowledgment of Risk
While we take reasonable efforts to guard your personal information we knowingly collect directly from you, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So, we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
Your Responsibility
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Websites and/or the App, you are responsible for keeping your password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Websites and/or the App, or sharing any of your information or database with your friends, family, co-workers or other third parties. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Websites and/or the App. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we take reasonable measures to protect your personal information in conformance with applicable laws, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the Websites. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Websites and/or the App.
Passively-Collected Personal Information You Include
In addition, we cannot guarantee that any passively-collected personal information you choose to include in documents you store on our systems are maintained at levels of protection to meet specific needs or obligations you may have relating to that information. In particular, please be aware that we do not and cannot guarantee that our privacy policies and practices will comply with or conform to any minimum or higher privacy or data security standards that may be imposed on any materials or other content you store on Oil Shelf. You are solely responsible for verifying and ensuring that our systems meet any such requirements imposed on you by applicable law, regulations, governmental, court or regulatory orders, or custom or usage of trade. We are not responsible for any resulting consequences you may face if our systems or our service is found not to meet those specific legal, regulatory or governmental standards, except to the extent we otherwise expressly state in this Privacy Policy.
18. Compliance with Regulators
We regularly review this Privacy Policy and make sure that we process your information in ways that comply with it. When we receive formal written complaints, we respond by contacting the person who made the complaint. We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of your data that we cannot resolve with you directly.
We maintain servers around the world and your information may be processed on servers located outside of the country where you live. Data protection laws vary among countries, with some providing more protection than others. Regardless of where your information is processed, we apply the same protections described in this Privacy Policy. We also comply with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of data.
19. Your Rights if You are a Resident of California
California Civil Code Section 1798.83
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year.

There are several ways you can manage your privacy and data across Oil Shelf’s Services. You can exercise your rights by making changes to your email address and password when signed-into your Oil Shelf Account. You can exercise your rights by deleting your Oil Shelf Account.

If you have questions or requests related to your rights under the CCPA, you (or your authorized agent) can contact support@oilshelf.app.
CCPA also requires California residents receive specific disclosures about the personal information that businesses collect about them. To fulfill the CCPA compliance, this Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how Oil Shelf handles your information:

There may be compelling reasons for continuing to process your personal information, and we will assess and inform you if that is the case. You can object to marketing activities for any reason.
If you are a resident in France, you also have the right to set guidelines for the retention and communication of your personal information after your death.
If you wish to exercise one of these rights, please contact us at support@oilshelf.app.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint to your local data protection authority. Further information about how to contact your local data protection authority is available here.

If you are located in Switzerland, the contact details for the data protection authorities are available here.
22. Your Rights if You Are a Resident of Other Jurisdictions
Residents in other jurisdictions may also have similar rights to the above. Please contact us at support@oilshelf.app if you would like to exercise one of these rights, and we will comply with any request to the extent required under applicable law. If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at support@oilshelf.app.
23. Withdrawing Your Consent
If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the “26. Contact Information” section below. However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
25. Changes to Privacy Policy
We change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We always indicate the “Revised” date that the last changes were published, and the “Revised” version will be effective as soon as it is accessible.
If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will provide a prominent notice on the Websites’ home page and/or through the App (including, for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy changes).
You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date, active, and deliverable email address for you. You are also responsible for periodically visiting the Websites, the App, and this Privacy Policy to check for any changes. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
By continuing to use our Service or by providing us with Personal Information after we have posted an updated Privacy Policy, or notified you by other means, you consent to the revised Privacy Policy.
24. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

● Device
● Oil Shelf Account

Affiliates. An affiliate is an entity that belongs to the Oil Shelf App, Inc. group of companies.
Algorithm. A process or set of rules followed by a computer in performing problem-solving operations.
Application data cache. An application data cache is a data repository on a device. It can, for example, enable a web application to run without an internet connection and improve the performance of the application by enabling faster loading of content.
Browser web storage. Browser web storage enables websites to store data in a browser on a device. When used in "local storage" mode, it enables data to be stored across sessions. This makes data retrievable even after a browser has been closed and reopened. One technology that facilitates web storage is HTML 5.
Cookies. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the site again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies.
Device. A device is a computer that can be used to access Oil Shelf services. For example, desktop computers, tablets, smart speakers, and smartphones are all considered devices.
Oil Shelf Account. You may access some of our services by signing up for an Oil Shelf Account and providing us with some personal information (typically your email address and a password). This account information is used to authenticate you when you access Oil Shelf services and protect your account from unauthorized access by others. You can edit or delete your account at any time through your Oil Shelf Account settings.
IP address. Every device connected to the Internet is assigned a number known as an Internet protocol (IP) address. These numbers are usually assigned in geographic blocks. An IP address can often be used to identify the location from which a device is connecting to the Internet.
Non-personally identifiable information. This is information that is recorded about users so that it no longer reflects or references an individually-identifiable user.
Personal information. This is information that you provide to us which personally identifies you, such as your email address or other data that can be reasonably linked to such information by Oil Shelf, such as information we associate with your Oil Shelf Account.
Pixel tag. A pixel tag is a type of technology placed on a website or within the body of an email for the purpose of tracking certain activity, such as views of a website or when an email is opened. Pixel tags are often used in combination with cookies.
Referrer URL. A Referrer URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is information transmitted to a destination webpage by a web browser, typically when you click a link to that page. The Referrer URL contains the URL of the last webpage the browser visited.
Sensitive personal information. This is a particular category of personal information relating to topics such as confidential medical facts, racial or ethnic origins, political or religious beliefs, or sexuality.
Server logs. Like most websites, our servers automatically record the page requests made when you visit our sites. These “server logs” typically include your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
Unique identifiers. A unique identifier is a string of characters that can be used to uniquely identify a browser, app, or device. Different identifiers vary in how permanent they are, whether they can be reset by users, and how they can be accessed. Unique identifiers can be used for various purposes, including security and fraud detection, syncing services such as your email inbox, remembering your preferences, and providing personalized advertising. For example, unique identifiers stored in cookies help sites display content in your browser in your preferred language. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Unique identifiers may also be incorporated into a device by its manufacturer (sometimes called a universally unique ID or UUID), such as the IMEI-number of a mobile phone. For example, a device’s unique identifier can be used to customize our service to your device or analyze device issues related to our services.
28. Additional Terms or Phrases
To help explain things as clearly as possible, we have also added definitions for additional terms or phrases. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can always contact us.
● deliver our services
● detect abuse
● ensure our services are working as intended
● legal process, or enforceable governmental request
● make improvements
● protect against abuse
● Views and interactions with content
deliver our services. Examples of how we use your information to deliver our services include:
● We use the IP address assigned to your device to send you the data you requested.
● We use unique identifiers stored in cookies on your device to help us authenticate you as the person who should have access to your Oil Shelf Account.
detect abuse. When we detect spam, malware, illegal content, and other forms of abuse on our systems in violation of our policies, we may disable your account or take other appropriate action. In certain circumstances, we may also report the violation to appropriate authorities.
ensure our services are working as intended. For example, we continuously monitor our systems to look for problems. If we find something wrong with a specific feature, reviewing activity information collected before the problem started allows us to fix things more quickly.
legal process, or enforceable governmental request. Like other technology and communications companies, Oil Shelf regularly receives requests from governments and courts around the world to disclose user data. Respect for the privacy and security of data you store with Oil Shelf underpins our approach to complying with these legal requests. Our legal team reviews each and every request, regardless of type, and we frequently push back when a request appears to be overly broad or doesn’t follow the correct process.
make improvements. For example, we use cookies to analyze how people interact with our services. And that analysis can help us build better products and services. For example, it may help us discover that it is taking people too long to complete a certain task or that they have trouble finishing steps at all. We can then redesign that feature and improve the product/service for everyone.
protect against abuse. For example, information about security threats can help us notify you if we think your account has been compromised (at which point we can help you take steps to protect your account)
Views and interactions with content. For example, we measure interactions with buttons and screens to help us understand how our users use our Services.
