We take precautions to protect data and information under our control from misuse, loss, or alteration. Our security measures include industry-standard physical, technical, and administrative measures to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of your information, to maintain data accuracy, to ensure the appropriate use of information, and otherwise safeguard your personal information.
Please recognize that protecting your personal information is also your responsibility. We ask you to be responsible for safeguarding your password, secret questions and answers, and other authentication information you use to access our services.
We may share your personal information with other entities within the bp group as part of our business operations including with our parent entity bp p.l.c, headquartered in the UK.
We may share your information with third-party recipients, such as external service providers, legal or regulatory bodies. We have contracts in place with these third parties to protect the use of your information, and any service provider we appoint is contractually required to comply with privacy laws and security measures.

Legal and regulatory disclosures
As highlighted above, we may 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 to us. We may also share your personal information in connection with legal proceedings.
We may also share your personal information with credit reference agencies and fraud prevention agencies for the purposes of assessing creditworthiness and product suitability, checking your identity, managing your account, and preventing criminal activity.
As an international company, we may transfer your personal information to other bp group entities around the world. For instance, our entities based in the UK, USA or India may access information for IT support purposes. Where this is the case, we ensure that the importing country offers an adequate level of data protection compliance, or we will rely on our global compliance framework which includes appropriate data transfer measures and safeguards to ensure that we protect your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Concerning transfers between group entities, we rely on our intragroup agreement which includes the EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses and the UK IDTA, as each may be amended or updated from time to time. Where we transfer personal information to a third-party outside the bp group, we ensure that appropriate measures are in place to offer an adequate level of protection for your personal information. As above, this includes the use of approved relevant standard contractual clauses as required under applicable laws.
You can contact us for further information about our international transfers and the contractual safeguards we implement.
How long we will hold your personal information will vary based on the purpose for which we are using it. We will need to keep your information for as long as is necessary for each purpose in line with our business needs, as documented in our internal policies. These may vary between jurisdictions. For example, if you are located in the UK and we have a contract with you, we will typically retain your personal information for 6 years following the termination of that contract, unless litigation is anticipated when we will keep it longer. Whereas if you are located in Germany, we may only retain your personal information for the same purposes for 3 years.
We calculate the retention period based on the time the personal information is needed to: (a) fulfil the purposes described in this Notice, (b) meet the timelines required or recommended by regulatory authorities, professional bodies, or associations, (c) comply with applicable laws, legal holds, and other legal obligations (including contractual obligations), and (d) comply with your requests.
There may be laws or regulations which set a minimum period for which we have to keep your personal information. We will only hold your information for the defined retention period, before anonymizing the information or deleting it. We anonymise data using a mixture of measures, including aggregating the data (for example, to make a finding about a group of people as opposed to a specific individual) or by removing any personal identifiers (for example, unique IDs or contact information) so that we can still use data to see trends and patterns but cannot link this data back to you.
If you choose to unsubscribe from a service, we usually keep a ‘suppression list’ containing your details so we know you have unsubscribed and ensure you are not contacted again. Your personal information held on a suppression list will not be used for any other purpose.
The rights set out below may apply to you depending on where you are located.
For instance, if you are located in the EU/EEA/UK you are afforded all of the rights below. For other countries, you may only be afforded a subset of these rights, depending on local regulations.
This Notice was last updated on 10/06/2025. We will update it again when necessary to reflect changes in the law and our practices. If we make a material change to this Notice, you will be provided with appropriate e-mail notice in accordance with legal requirements.
Review this Notice to stay informed about our collection, processing and sharing of your personal information.
