Service Station Computer Systems, Inc., a California corporation (“SSCS” or the “Company”) provides back office software solutions for modern convenience stores and gas stations. SSCS understands that the privacy and confidentiality of user information is important. Therefore, we are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your user information. We may update this privacy policy from time to time, so please check here frequently.

Because we understand that your privacy is important, we wish to explain the types of information we gather and the way in which we use it. This privacy policy applies to the Company’s website located at: www.sscsinc.com (the “Site”).

Our goal is to provide you with an Internet experience that delivers the information, resources and services that are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, part of the operation of the Site includes the gathering of certain types of information about Site users.

This privacy policy covers two types of information gathered at the Site, personal and aggregated. The term “personal information” refers to data you voluntarily provide in connection with use of the Site that identifies you and/or the company on whose behalf you are accessing and using the Site. Personal information that SSCS may collect includes, your name, e-mail address, phone number, company affiliation, physical address and other information that can be used to identify you. The term “aggregated data” refers to general information regarding users of the Site that relates to use of the Site, for example, Site traffic patterns, the number of visits to certain pages, visits from other web sites or to third-party web sites linked to the Site, use of particular services and interest in services, information or features of the Site or other parties made available through or found at the Site. Aggregated data does not contain any personal identifiers and cannot be tracked back to individuals.

We are committed to ensuring that the personal information we obtain from you is used only for the purposes explained to you in this Policy and that you consent to. You may wish to submit an information request regarding our products, or to request technical support. In response, we may ask for personal information including your name, postal address, or telephone. In the event you opt to provide us with this information, we will only use it for the purposes consented to and specified by you at the bottom of the information gathering form.

  • Establish or manage an account with SSCS
  • Send marketing communications or surveys to you
  • Respond to your questions or suggestions, or otherwise respond to a communication from you
  • Improve the quality of your visit to our Site
  • Disclose personal information to protect the security, property, assets or legal rights of the Company from unauthorized use, or misuse, of the Site
  • Disclose information when required by law to the extent necessary and in a manner that seeks to maintain the privacy of the individual.

In deciding whether or not to join email and postal mailing lists and future online marketing, please understand that the lists are only used for Company purposes. You may request to be removed from our lists at any time by following the unsubscribe feature on the bottom of an email communication to you, or by contacting us at privacy@sscsinc.com.

  • Permission for Use

SSCS may collect and use personal information that you submit at the Site in any manner that is consistent with uses stated in this privacy policy or explained elsewhere on the Site at the point you submit such personal information. At the time you submit personal information or make a request, the intended use of the personal information you submit will be explained. Your consent to use your personal information is consent for all uses stated in this privacy policy or explained elsewhere at the Site at the point you submit such personal information. Please do not provide any personal information or request any communications on behalf of an individual or company if you are not authorized to provide the personal information or make the request.

Disclosure to Third Parties

At times SSCS may provide third parties with certain personal information to provide or improve our products and services, including to deliver products at your request, or to help SSCS market to consumers. When we do, we require those third parties to handle it in accordance with relevant laws. Personal information will never be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Service Providers

SSCS may share personal information with companies who provide services such as information processing, extending credit, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products to you, managing and enhancing customer data, providing customer service, assessing your interest in our products and services, and conducting customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are obligated to protect your information and may be located wherever the Company operates.

Protecting Your Personal Information

SSCS has implemented a security program to keep personal information that is stored in our systems protected from unauthorized use, access and disclosure. Please note that the security of your personal information depends in part on the security of the computer or other device you use to access our Site and to communicate with us, and also upon the security measures you use to protect associated usernames and passwords.

Withdrawing Consent to Use

If, after using our Site and consenting to use of your personal information, you later decide that you no longer want the Company to include you on its mailing list or otherwise contact you or use your personal information in the manner disclosed in this privacy policy or at the Site, simply tell us by sending an e-mail to privacy@sscsinc.com, or by clicking on the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of our email communication to you.

Use of Aggregated Data

SSCS is interested in improving the Site and may develop and offer new features and services on the Site. We monitor aggregated data regarding use of the Site for lawful business marketing purposes and to study, improve and promote the use of the Site. In connection with such purposes, the Company may share aggregated data with third parties collectively and in an anonymous way. Disclosure of aggregated data does not reveal personal information about individual Site users in any way that identifies who they are or how to contact them.

To enable features at the Site, SSCS may assign one or more “cookies” to your Internet browser. Cookies, among other things, speed navigation through our Site, keep track of information so that you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit our Site, and may provide you with customized content. A cookie is an Internet mechanism composed of a small text file containing a unique identification number that permits a web server to send small pieces of information or text by means of your browser and place them on your computer’s hard drive for storage. This text lets the web server know if you have previously visited the web page. Cookies do not provide the identity or personal information of any user.

We use cookies to collect and maintain aggregated data (such as the number of visitors to the Site) to help us see which areas are most popular with our users and improve and update the content on our Site. While in the process of browsing our Site, you also provide us with information that doesn’t reveal your personal identity — what type of destination you’re exploring, for example. We use this aggregated data only as explained in this privacy policy. We do not connect aggregated data to any name, address, or other identifying personal information.

You may occasionally receive cookies from unaffiliated companies or organizations, to the extent they place advertising on our Site or are linked to the Site. These third-party cookies may collect information about you when you ”click” on their advertising or content or link. This practice is standard in the Internet industry. Because of the way in which the Internet operates, we cannot control collection of this information by these third parties, and these cookies are not subject to this privacy policy.

Children’s Privacy & Parental Consent

Please be aware that SSCS has not designed this Site for, and does not intend for it to be used by, anyone under age 18. Accordingly, this Site should not be used by anyone under age 18. Our privacy policy prohibits us from accepting users who are under the age of 18. SSCS specifically requests that persons under the age of 18 not use this Site or submit or post information to the Site. Should SSCS inadvertently acquire personal information or other data from users under the age of 18, we will not knowingly provide this data to any third party for any purpose. Any use or disclosure of personal information of someone under age 18 would occur because the user under age 18 used the Site and submitted personal information without solicitation by or permission from the Company.

Links Provided to Other Sites

SSCS may provide links to a number of other web sites that we believe might offer you useful information and services. However, those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as the Company. When you click a link on our Site, the use of your personal information is governed by the privacy policy of the site you visit, and not by this privacy policy. SSCS is not responsible for the privacy policies or the actions of any third party site you visit or link to from the Site, including without limitation, any web site owners whose sites may be reached through this Site, nor can we control the activities of those web sites.

California Do Not Track Disclosure

SSCS does not track its customers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. Third parties that have content embedded on the Site such as a social feature may set cookies on a user’s browser and/or obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited a specific website from a certain IP address. Third parties cannot collect any other personally identifiable information from the Site unless you provide it to them directly.

Your Consent to this Privacy Policy

Use of the Site signifies your consent, Your consent to use of your personal information as described in this privacy policy, individually or on behalf of the company for whom you use the Site and whose information you submit (if any), also signifies agreement to the terms of use for the Site.
