Disclosure of your Information

OM Energy may share your personal data with people within the organisation who have a "need to know" that data for business or legal reasons, e.g. in order to carry out an administrative function such as processing an invoice, or to direct a query that you have submitted to the relevant department within OM Energy.

Because OM Energy operates globally, we may disclose your personal data to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries. These entities are required to maintain the confidentiality of your data and are restricted from using it for any purpose other than the purposes set out in this Notice.

We may disclose your personal data to third parties including: (i) public and government authorities; (ii) courts and regulators; (iii) OM Energy's professional advisors, such as lawyers, auditors and insurers; (iv) suppliers of IT services; and (v) third parties engaged by OM Energy, (a) for the purpose of providing services requested by you; (b) to protect any intellectual property rights in any materials displayed on or otherwise available from OM Energy's Websites; (c) for the purposes of seeking legal or other professional advice; (d) to respond to a legal request or comply with a legal obligation; and (f) as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the processing purposes identified in this Notice.

Information that you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access it.

Finally, we may share non-personal data with other third parties that are not described above. When we do so we may aggregate or de-identify the information so that a third party would not be likely to link data to you, your computer, or your device. Aggregation means that we combine the non-personal data of numerous people together so that the data does not relate to any one person. De-identify means that we attempt to remove or change certain pieces of information that might be used to link data to a particular person.

Your personal data is not kept for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is collected.
