Because BuyOil.com handles specialized industrial products, bulk freight shipments, and commercial accounts, we process data that goes beyond a standard retail transaction.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect and process the following types of personal information:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and other contact details you provide when using our Site or services. For our commercial buyers, this also includes business names, delivery dock specifications, tax exemption certificates, and authorized purchaser details.
• Usage Information: Data about your interactions with our Site, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and time spent on the Site. This includes tracking which product categories (e.g., heavy-duty engine oils, hydraulic fluids) or Safety Data Sheets (SDS) you frequently access to better tailor our inventory.
• Transaction Information: Details about purchases, payments, and orders made through our Site. This includes historical data on order frequency, bulk drum vs. packaged good preferences, and selected freight routing.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information collected for the following purposes:

• To provide our services, products, and customer support, including assisting you with complex OEM lubricant specifications.
• To process transactions and manage billing, which includes managing net-30 industrial credit accounts and coordinating heavy-freight invoicing.
• To communicate with you regarding updates, promotions, and offers, such as notifications about supply chain delays, price volatility in the petroleum market, or seasonal product changes.
• To improve the functionality and user experience of our Site.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements, including maintaining accurate records for hazardous materials transportation, tax auditing, and environmental compliance.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your personal information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers to help us operate our business, including payment processors, shipping partners, and IT service providers. Crucially, this means sharing your contact and physical address details with Less Than Truckload (LTL) freight carriers to ensure the safe and legally compliant delivery of bulk oil to your facility.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose your personal information to comply with legal requirements, such as a court order, or in response to a government request. This includes inquiries from the Department of Transportation (DOT) or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the movement of petroleum products.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or loss. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. (see terms of service)
