Some third parties may also collect data from you through cookies and other related technologies (as mentioned above) on or through the Sites and Services. The use of third-party cookies and other related technology is not covered by this Policy, as we do not have access or control over these cookies.

Although not all cookies and similar technologies that we use are required for you to use the Sites and Services, disabling these technologies all together could prevent the Sites and Services from working properly and disable features that allow you to take full advantage of the services we offer.

6. THIRD-PARTY VENDORS. Kwik Stop partners with third-parties to develop, host, support and/or provide features or functions of or advertisements on or related to the Sites and Services. Those third-parties may collect data from you directly or we may provide it to them in order to provide or enhance the Sites and Services and related functions.

The information they collect may be associated with your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites, applications and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content. However, Kwik Stop does not directly control these third parties' tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly. Those parties' collection, use, storage and transmission of your information may differ from the way Kwik Stop collects, uses, stores and transmits your data under this Policy. Please review those third-parties' privacy policies for more information.

7. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T PROVIDE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION? If you choose to limit the information you provide to us (or, in some circumstances, provide no personal information at all), then we may be unable to provide you with the products, services or information you have expressed an interest in, or which we can provide to you. We may also be unable to provide you with access to some or all of the Sites and Services (or their functionality).

8. SHARING INFORMATION. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Kwik Stop does not sell, rent, or otherwise provide personal information you provide through the Sites and Services or otherwise to outside marketers without prior consent. It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for Kwik Stop to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms and Conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

9. RETAINING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. We will take steps to ensure that the personal information that we hold about you is retained for only as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. We apply criteria to determine the appropriate retention period for different categories of personal information that we hold about you. After this period it will be deleted to the extent reasonably possible, and in compliance with our data retention policies.

10. SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER WEBSITES YOU VISIT. This Policy only applies to the Sites and Services and does not apply to the following:

Links contained on the Sites and Services, including links to any advertisers or other third-parties.

We recommend that you review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the relevant social media platforms and other websites or apps you visit, to understand how they use your information.

11. DO NOT TRACK. Some internet browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the "Do Not Track" signal, the Sites and Services do not currently interpret, respond to or alter its practices when it receives "Do Not Track" signals.
