The extent and type of information collected from you on this web site depends on your use of the site.

Non-Personal Information

If you visit this web site and read or download materials, such as information concerning our services or legal information bulletins, the information we receive is statistical only and will not be used to identify you personally. That information may comprise computer information, session and click-stream data and cookies.

Nevertheless you should be aware that there are inherent security risks in using and transmitting information across the internet.

A short note about cookies - a cookie is a very small text file placed on to your computer when you visit a web site. Cookies are used to enhance the online experience - for example, "session cookies" are created at the beginning of the user's search session and discarded at its conclusion. The cookie is not used to collect or store information about the user, only to allocate a temporary identifier to the search session. Without the session identifier, the user might lose the entire search context each time a new page is visited during a session.

Most web browsers recognise when a cookie has been offered or placed on your computer. Most web browser software enables you to decide whether you wish to reject or accept the cookie. Check with your software supplier if you are not sure. If cookies are disabled, you may find this web site provides less than desirable functionality and speed, for the reasons described above.

BP does not use cookies to identify you personally, to connect your personal identity with your computer address or to track the navigational or browsing habits of identified visitors.

Personally Identifiable Information

As a general rule, information that can directly identify an online visitor is collected at this web site only when offered by the visitor voluntarily and on an informed basis. There is no law that requires us to collect your personal information via this website.

If you subscribe to our bulletins or send us an email message or other personal information that identifies you we will use your email address and other information you supply to respond to your message or to supply you with the bulletins or other information or service requested.

If we wish to use your personal information to advise you about other BP services or opportunities to help us with our mission, we will inform you of this and provide you with an opportunity to decline to receive such communications from us.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in this website, we will not disclose your personal information to third parties unless:

• we have your consent;
• making the disclosure is related to the primary purpose for which we have collected the information and we deem that you would reasonably have expected us to make the disclosure; or
• we are required to do so by law, in which case we would inform you unless doing so itself is unlawful or would impede or defeat the purpose of the disclosure.

Accuracy

We strive to ensure that all personal information we hold is accurate and up-to-date. To assist us in achieving this, please let us know if your details change or if you become aware that information we hold is in error. We will, when appropriate, ask you for confirmation that information we hold is correct.

Access, Further Information and Complaints

You have a qualified right of access to personal information held by BP which identifies you. This is "qualified" because there are some circumstances in which the Privacy Act entitles or requires us to withhold access.

If you would like to exercise your right of access please contact the BP privacy officer via the link set out below.

If you would like further information or if you wish to make a complaint about the collection or use of information via this web site, please contact the BP online privacy officer at the following email address:
