Flint Hills Resources, LP - Privacy Policy
As of March 1, 2010

Flint Hills Resources, LP (FHR) respects individuals’ concerns about the privacy of their personal information. This Privacy Policy applies to personal information FHR collects both online and offline. It also describes the types of personal information we collect, how we may use that information and with whom we may share it, as well as the measures we take to protect the security of the personal information. This Privacy Policy will also tell you how you can contact us to update or remove your personal information or receive answers to questions you may have about our privacy practices.

Personal Information We Collect About You and How We Use It

We may collect personal information (such as name, email and postal address, telephone number and financial information) from consumers, customers, job applicants, employees, contractors, vendors and other individuals through our websites or by other means (such as email, fax, postal mail or telephone). We use the information you provide for many purposes including, but not limited to, communicating with you about our products and services, to follow up on incident and investigation reports and comply with internal and legal requirements, to evaluate candidates for employment, to provide you with secure access to information about your business relationship with us and to facilitate your use of our websites, to respond to your questions and comments; and for our vendors and contractors, to establish and administer your account or process payments, and for compliance with internal and legal requirements. We may also use the personal information you provide to us for the internal purposes of FHR and its subsidiaries. These purposes include administration of our websites, data analytics and compliance with our legal obligations, policies and procedures.

Non-Personal Information We Collect by Automated Means and How We Use It

We collect certain information by automated means when you visit our websites, such as how many users visited our sites and the pages accessed. By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor our websites to our visitors. We collect this information through various means such as “cookies,” “web beacons” and IP addresses.

We use cookies to tell us, for example, whether you have visited us before or if you are a new visitor and to help us identify site features in which you may have the greatest interest. Web beacons allow us to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party. We use IP address information to determine the general physical location of the device accessing our websites and understand from what regions of the world our website visitors come. We also may use this information to enhance our websites.

Information We Share

We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal information except as described here. We may share the information you provide with our subsidiaries and affiliates. We also may share the information with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf, such as third party payroll providers, banks and credit institutions, among others. These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process; (ii) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials; or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity. We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use information you have provided us in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Links to Other Sites

Our websites and communications may provide links to other websites for your convenience and information. These linked sites may operate independently from FHR and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Linked sites may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review if you visit any linked sites. To the extent any linked sites you visit are not part of the FHR family of companies, we are not responsible for their content, any use of the sites, or the privacy practices of the sites.

How We Protect Personal Information

We maintain administrative, technical and/or physical safeguards to protect against loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of the information you provide.

Access and Correction

FHR will provide you with reasonable access to personal information you provide to us and the ability to review and correct it, as required by law. To help protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as requiring a password and user ID for websites or asking you to confirm your provided information, before granting you access to your information.

For European Economic Area and Switzerland Residents

If you are located in the European Economic Area or Switzerland (collectively, the “EEA”), you may direct us not to share your personal information with third parties, except as specified below. We do not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes for which the information was originally collected without notifying the relevant individuals of such uses and offering an opportunity to opt out.

We may disclose personal information without offering individuals an opportunity to opt out (i) to service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf; (ii) in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets; (iii) if disclosure is required by law or legal process; (iv) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials; or (v) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

Updates to Our Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically and without prior notice to you to reflect changes in our personal information privacy practices. We will indicate at the top of this policy when it was most recently updated.
