Information Collection

Personal and Non-Personal Information:

When using the Sites and Apps or participating in the Program, in order to utilize some of the services, you may be asked to provide, or you may choose to submit, certain personally identifiable information about yourself ("Personal Information"). Personal Information can include your name, birth date, gender, email address, physical address, telephone number and any other information you may provide. We may also leverage social network information (e.g. photos) when we have permission to do so. For example, we may collect information when you connect or interact with 7-Eleven via a social media service.

Personal Information does not include transactional data related to purchases at 7-Eleven stores, unless we combine such transaction data with your Personal Information, which we may do. In addition, we may also collect non-personally identifiable information, such as IP host address, pages viewed, browser type, duration and frequency of visits, the location (country and province) where your server is located, and other data, and may aggregate any information collected in a manner which does not identify any individual ("Aggregate Information"). Information obtained in connection with the Sites, the Apps and/or the Program may be intermingled with and used by us in conjunction with information obtained through sources other than the Sites, the Apps and/or the Program, including both offline and online sources. By using any of the Sites, the Apps or the Program you consent to the collection and use of this type of information.

We and our service providers may collect Personal Information in a variety of ways, including:

Through the Sites, Apps and Program:

We may collect Personal Information through the Sites, the Apps and/or the Program, e.g., when you register, sign up for a newsletter, or participate in a promotion.

Apps:

In addition to the information above, the following applies to our Apps:

• Our Apps may collect certain information as part of their normal operations, such as the type of mobile device you use, the temporary or persistent unique device identifiers (sometimes called UDID), and information about the way you use the Apps. The Apps may also collect certain information you voluntarily provide, such as product information when you scan a bar code, and transactional information, such as when you make a purchase or respond to an offer.
• Our Apps may also collect information about the precise location of your device, such as when you search for a store. You must first provide permission through your device before the App obtains such location. We may combine this information with other location-based information, such as your IP address and billing or postal code, for example, to give you information about stores near you and to provide you with other services on your mobile device. We may share your location information with companies that help us provide you with services and to help us understand how the services are being used. You may stop the collection of this information at any time by changing the settings on your mobile device, but note that some features of our Apps may no longer function if you do so.

You may at any time opt-out of the collection and of your precise location information:

• You can stop all collection of information by our Apps easily by uninstalling the Apps. You may use the standard uninstall processes available as part of your mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network.
• You may at any time opt-out from further allowing us to have access to your location data by adjusting the permissions in your mobile device.
• Even after you opt out, service providers may collect device-specific information (such as a unique device identifier) when you use our Sites. However, the Apps will not collect such information.

From Other Sources:

We may receive your Personal Information from other sources, such as public databases; joint marketing partners; social media platforms; people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected on social media platforms; and other third parties. For example, if you connect your social media account to your 7-Eleven account, or create or log into your 7-Eleven account through a social media site, certain information from your social media account will be shared with us, which may include Personal Information that is part of your profile or your friends� profiles. In addition, we may supplement the Personal Information that you provide us and/or the other information we collect from you with demographic, social, and other information about you that we receive from other sources. Once we combine data from other sources with your Personal Information collected pursuant to this Privacy Statement, we apply this Privacy Statement to the combined data as long as it is combined. However, this Privacy Statement does not apply to the original source or uncombined data. 7-Eleven has no control over the content or privacy policies of the third party social networking sites. If you choose to create an account or log into your account through a third party social networking website, 7-Eleven is not responsible or liable for the privacy practices or content of such websites.

Cookies help us improve the Sites� and Apps� functionality and performance, improve your user experience and convenience, see which areas and features of the Sites and Apps are popular, count visits, and tailor your experience. Web beacons are electronic images that may be used in the Sites, Apps or emails and help deliver cookies, count visits, and test and understand usage and campaign effectiveness.

Clickstream:

As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each web site you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data," can be collected and stored by a web site's server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the web site from which you linked to the Sites. We may collect and use clickstream data to determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Sites, how visitors navigate throughout the Sites and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will be used to improve our Sites and our services.
