Smith Oil INC. PRIVACY POLICY Effective date: July 20th, 2020
Privacy Statement Smith Oil Inc., its affiliates and subsidiaries (“Smith Oil”, “Company”, “we,” “us,” and “our”) recognize and respect the importance of protecting the privacy of our customers and visitors to this website, including our software application (the “App) (collectively, the “Site”). For that reason, Smith Oil wants you to know how we collect, use and disclose information.
##Scope of This Policy This Policy applies only to information (1) collected through this Site or (2) collected from our text messaging programs (our “text programs”). This Policy does not apply to information collected through other channels, such as our mobile application, in-person, on paper and/or by phone. To have the ability to let you know of discounts, programs, etc., Smith Oil collects certain information about or related to you through this Site and/or our text programs. Some of the information we collect may be “personal information”—that is, information that identifies you personally, alone or in combination with other information that is made available to us. Other information may not identify you personally, such as your IP address.
##Your Consent By using this Site and/or by opting into our text programs, you are consenting to the collection, use, disclosure, and transfer of your information as described in this Policy.

You may also reply “STOP” to any text message we send you to opt-out of our text programs. Do Not Track Mechanisms.

You may be able to register with, log on to, or update your profile on this Site by choosing to automatically populate the requested data fields with information you previously provided to a third-party social media platform (such as Facebook or Twitter).

Smith Oil will treat that information as it does for any other information you give to us when you register, log on, or update your profile. Information from your browser or device. Smith Oil collects information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser or mobile device. This information typically includes your IP address, the name of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, the type of device you are using, the website that referred you to our website, and the pages you visit. The information Smith Oil receives may depend on your browser or device settings.

Generally, Smith Oil uses this information as a whole to help us improve this Site and make it more compatible (“user friendly”) with the technology used by our visitors. However, Smith Oil may combine it with other information in an attempt to identify you or we may combine it with information that does identify you. We may also review our server logs for security purposes—for example, to detect intrusions into our network—and we might share our server logs, which contain visitors’ IP addresses, with the appropriate investigative government authorities who could use that information to trace and identify you. Information Collected by Cookies and Other Technologies. Smith Oil uses “cookies” and other technologies (such as web beacons, java scripts, and entity tags) to collect information and support certain features of this App. For example, Smith Oil may use these technologies to: • collect information about the ways visitors use this App—which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page; • support the features and functionality of this App—for example, to save you the trouble of reentering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits; • personalize your experience when you use this App; and/or • improve our marketing efforts, including through use of targeted advertising. The information we collect using cookies and similar technologies may or may not be, in and of itself, personally identifiable, but Smith Oil may link it to personal information that you previously provided. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer or mobile device.
