We may use the Personal Information we collect to contact you about our products and services or those of our partners or other third parties from time to time, to process a job application, to manage your online profile, or in other ways that should be apparent from the context in which you provide us your Personal Information. We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties or mass marketers. For example, we will not sell another company your name or email address. Unless you consent to the disclosure of your personally identifiable information, only we and our affiliates (such as the bank issuing the 7-Eleven branded credit card), our technical consultants, third party auditors and other third parties who make our Sites available, enhance functionality, or provide associated services and/or who deal with you in delivering content, samples, products, gifts and prizes, have access to this information, and we require them to agree that they are covered by this policy.
If you have registered with any of our Sites, we provide you the opportunity to manage your profile. We provide you the opportunity to “opt-out” of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information.
