ExxonMobil does not seek through the Site to gather personal data from or about persons under the age of 17. 

ExxonMobil does not sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age without affirmative authorization.

The ExxonMobil affiliate which operates the Site pertaining to its business activities is the Data Controller of the personal data collected through the Site. If you have a contractual or other business relationship with an ExxonMobil affiliate, such affiliate is the Data Controller of the personal data that it collects from you in the context of that relationship.

The ExxonMobil affiliate(s) acting as the Data Controller of the personal data, may transfer all or some of the personal data to ExxonMobil affiliates worldwide which may be located in third countries that are not regarded as providing an adequate level of protection to the personal data. The transfers take place in accordance with Section 7 below. 

ExxonMobil is committed to collecting and using personal data in a lawful manner. 

ExxonMobil will ensure that, when it Processes personal data, the Processing is allowed under applicable data protection law. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, this means that in particular ExxonMobil shall assess whether and which justification (legal basis) it has for the Processing of personal data, as stipulated in the EU General Data Protection Regulation and applicable law. Justification for Processing can, depending on the situation, include:

• ExxonMobil’s legitimate business interest, unless such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the Individual, and/or 
• The performance of a contract to which the Individual is a party, and/or
• Compliance with a legal obligation to which ExxonMobil is subject, and/or
• In order to protect the vital interests of the Individual, and/or

In this table we describe the categories of information that we gather via the Site and in connection with our business relationship with you. We also describe the purpose and legal basis, where applicable, for using and processing the information.

When ExxonMobil relies on its legitimate interest as a legal basis to Process personal data, ExxonMobil will ensure that these interests do not disproportionately and adversely impact an individual’s rights and freedoms.

When ExxonMobil relies on an individual’s consent as a legal basis to Process personal data, individuals can withdraw their consent at any time. Visitors wishing to withdraw their consent should notify us at data.privacy.office@exxonmobil.com and we will stop the Processing of your personal data as soon as reasonably possible.

7.1 Transfers between affiliates

The relevant ExxonMobil affiliate who is the Data Controller may make personal data available to other ExxonMobil affiliates and may transfer some or all of the personal data to ExxonMobil servers located worldwide in accordance with applicable law. 

The transfer of personal data from the EEA, UK and Switzerland to recipients located outside such territories is subject to restrictions. ExxonMobil has taken steps so that personal data receives an adequate level of data protection at all ExxonMobil locations. These steps include ExxonMobil affiliates entering into Inter Affiliate Agreements containing the EU “Standard Contractual Clauses”.

The EU Standard Contractual Clauses have been approved by the European Commission and relevant European authorities as offering adequate protection for transfers of personal data outside the EEA, UK and Switzerland. 

7.2 Transfers to third parties

When transferring personal data, ExxonMobil puts in place safeguards to ensure that the recipient adequately protects the personal data. With respect to the transfer of personal data from the EEA, UK and Switzerland to outside such territories, ExxonMobil relies on (1.) EU “Standard Contractual Clauses”, (2.) contractual safeguards imposed on the recipient which is contracted by ExxonMobil affiliates outside of EEA, UK or Switzerland (so-called onward transfers), (3.) Privacy Shield certification of the recipient (established in the US), and (4.) protections available under local law for the recipient established in a country deemed adequate by the EU Commission. Where permitted, and as applicable, we will rely on the individual’s consent.
