Some cookies may be placed by third-party service providers used on our website.

Our website may provide information about or links to SunStop Rewards, Sunny Saver, loyalty programs, payment programs, mobile applications, or other related services.
Enrollment in or use of these programs may require additional information, such as a telephone number, email address, account information, or payment-related information.
When a program is provided or processed through a third-party platform, payment processor, financial institution, or other service provider, information you submit through that service may be collected and processed directly by that provider and subject to additional privacy terms.
We encourage you to review any privacy notices presented when enrolling in a rewards, loyalty, or payment program.

Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to websites, applications, social media platforms, rewards programs, payment services, maps, restaurant partners, fuel-related services, or other resources operated by third parties.
Once you leave our website or interact with a third-party service, that third party’s privacy practices may apply. SunStop is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of websites or services that we do not control.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information.
Email and Marketing Communications
If you sign up to receive promotional emails or other marketing communications from us, we may use the information you provide to send information about SunStop news, promotions, products, services, events, and special offers.
You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the communication.
We may still send non-promotional communications when necessary to respond to an inquiry, administer a service you requested, or otherwise communicate regarding an existing relationship.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use appropriate caution when transmitting information online.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide requested services, maintain appropriate business and legal records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable laws.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information through this website from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Privacy Rights
Depending on where you reside and applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.
These rights may include the ability to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information or to obtain additional information regarding how personal information is processed.
Not all rights apply in every jurisdiction or circumstance. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain privacy requests.
Do Not Track and Privacy Signals
Some browsers and devices allow users to transmit “Do Not Track” or other privacy preference signals.
Because standards regarding these signals continue to evolve, our website may not respond to every browser-based signal. Where legally required and technically supported, we will process recognized privacy preference signals in accordance with applicable law.
