Privacy Pledge

to Web sites owned and operated by ConocoPhillips or its affiliates. We collect
information to process your transactions and to help us provide a better level of
service. We do not sell your information to anyone. We strive to protect the security
and confidentiality of the information we collect. We urge you to read the following
sections.
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
1. When you submit a request or electronically pass information to ConocoPhillips
(including, but not limited to, completing retail employment applications and credit
card applications), you are sometimes asked to provide certain information, including,
but not limited to, your name, address, date of birth and e-mail address. In the
Retail Employment Application and on the various "contacts" pages, we ask for this
personally identifiable information in order to facilitate your requests, provide
personalized service and communicate separately with you.We do not sell, trade or
rent your personally identifiable information with any third parties outside of
ConocoPhillips. However, we may provide your personally identifiable information to
a third party that provides services to ConocoPhillips, its affiliates, or subsidiaries.
2. Because we rely on third party commercial software and programs to operate our
servers, we may inadvertently collect personal information due to certain automatic
functions or features contained in such software or due to certain software changes
or upgrades. We will use reasonable efforts to remove any such information after
we discover such information in our system.
COOKIES
1. "Cookies" are pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's
hard drive to enable you to more easily communicate and interact with a Web site.
We may use cookies to allow you to use our site more easily and to allow us to keep
track of certain statistical information that helps us improve our site. Most browsers
are initially set to accept cookies. You may, however, disallow reception of cookies
at any time by resetting your Web browser. ConocoPhillips will never use cookies
to retrieve information from a computer that is unrelated to the Web Site or your
interaction with the Web Site. Our cookies do not contain personally identifiable
information.

1. We may use your Internet Protocol address to help diagnose problems with our
server and to administer the Web Site. Your Internet Protocol address is used to
help identify you for the duration of a session and to gather broad demographic
information. This information will not be sold to any third party.
CLICK STREAM DATA
1. As you browse the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each
Web site you visit. This information, which is sometimes called "click stream" data,
can be collected and stored by a Web site's server. Click stream data can tell us
the type of computer and browsing software you use, the address of the Web site
from which you linked to the Web Site. We may use click stream data to determine
how much time visitors spend on each page of the Web Site and how they navigate
through the Web Site. We will only use this information to improve the Web Site.
Any collection or use of click stream data will be anonymous and aggregate, and

1. Our Web Site may contain pages that are of interest to children under the age
of 18, but we do not seek through this site to gather personal information specifically

of age to obtain the consent of a parent, guardian, teacher or librarian to view
the Web Site. You agree to abide by such restrictions and not to help anyone avoid
these restrictions.

1. The Web Site is not directed nor targeted to children. ConocoPhillips will not
knowingly collect information from children. Because our software does not automatically
distinguish visitors under 18 from other visitors, ConocoPhillips requires users
under 18 years of age to obtain the consent of a parent, guardian, teacher or librarian
to view the Web Site. If ConocoPhillips learns that a child has provided personally
identifiable information to the Web Site, it will use reasonable efforts to remove
such information from its files.

privacy policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please
