At Circle Sunoco we are committed to protecting your privacy, which is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is intended to describe how any personal information that is derived from our site visitors is processed and used. It is our intention to make every effort to ensure that our activities are consistent with the spirit of this Privacy Policy. Although you can tour through most of our site without giving us any information that personally identifies you, sometimes we will ask for your personal information to respond to your requests. This Privacy Policy statement explains the data we collect from you and its use. Please read the complete Privacy Policy. Please note that by visiting and using www.circlesunoco.com you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

What Information is Circle Sunoco Gathering About its Visitors and How is it Being Used? Every computer connected to the Internet is provided with a domain name (e.g. yahoo.com) and an IP Address (e.g. 123.456.78.999). When a visitor requests a page from within the www.circlesunoco.com website, our Web Servers automatically identify and log the HTTP request that is made to our Web Server. This information reveals nothing personal about you. In fact, very little information is derived. The information may include:

  • The IP address of the site that may have referred you to www.circlesunoco.com
  • Your IP address
  • Operating system that you may be using (e.g. Windows 2000)
  • Version and Make of Browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 6.0)

There is nothing special about the information described, and the practice of collecting this data has been generally standardized by virtually every Web Server on the Internet today.

There are two major purposes for this information. Circle Sunoco has found it advantageous to observe visitor traffic so that we can ensure maximum compatibility for the various browsers and operating systems that visit our site. Also, as any business would agree, generating greater amounts of visitor traffic, is very desirable. By analyzing visitation patterns and referring URLs, we can strategically increase our exposure on the Internet.
