This Privacy Policy explains how Global Oil Prices ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and shares personal data when you use our website and services (the "Service"). It also describes your rights and how to contact us.

1. Data We Collect

  • Account data: name, email address, password (hashed), and any profile details you provide.
  • Usage data: pages visited, features used, IP address, browser, device, referring URLs, timestamps.
  • Content data: what you create, upload, or store within the Service.
  • Payment data: billing details processed by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers.
  • Communications: messages you send us, support tickets, survey responses.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: see the Cookies section below.

2. How We Use Data

  • provide, operate, and maintain the Service;
  • authenticate users, prevent abuse, and secure systems;
  • process payments and manage subscriptions;
  • communicate with you about your account, updates, and support;
  • improve the Service and develop new features;
  • comply with legal obligations.

3. Lawful Basis (EEA / UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following lawful bases under GDPR / UK GDPR: contract (to deliver the Service), legitimate interests (to secure and improve the Service), consent (e.g., marketing emails — you can withdraw at any time), and legal obligation (e.g., tax records).

4. Sharing Data

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the Service (hosting, analytics, payments, email delivery), under contract and only for those purposes;
  • Authorities if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or property;
  • Business transfers in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale, with notice to you.

5. International Transfers

Your data may be processed outside your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to protect transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland.

6. Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymise your data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.

7. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability. EEA / UK residents may also lodge a complaint with their supervisory authority. California residents may have additional rights under CCPA / CPRA, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of "sale" or "sharing" (we do not sell personal data).

To exercise rights, contact us via the Contact page; we will respond within the timeframe required by law.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (e.g., encryption in transit, access controls, audit logging) to protect personal data. No system is perfectly secure; if we become aware of a breach affecting your data we will notify you and authorities as required by law.
