how to exercise your privacy rights
You can submit a request by calling (toll free) +1 844 338 3905 or submitting a request through our online webform. We will verify and respond to your request consistent with applicable law, taking into account the type and sensitivity of the personal data subject to the request. We may decline to honor your request where an exception applies.
We may need to request information from you to verify a request, in order to verify your identity and protect against fraudulent requests. For example, we may ask for your phone number and email address to confirm your request and your state of residency to determine the requirements applicable to your specific request. If you maintain a password-protected account with us, we may verify your identity through our existing authentication practices for your account and require you to re-authenticate yourself before disclosing or deleting your personal data. You may make a request on behalf of a child who is under 13 years old if you are the child’s parent or legal guardian. If you make a request to delete, we may ask you to confirm your request before we delete your personal data.
We do not sell personal data (including sensitive personal data), as defined under applicable law. We have not engaged in such activity in the 12 months preceding the date this Statement was last updated. Without limiting the foregoing, we do not sell or knowingly "share" personal data (including sensitive personal data) of minors under 16 years of age.
To request to opt out of any future “sharing” of your personal data for purposes of cross-contextual behavioral advertising, or any future processing for purposes of targeted advertising, click on the Services’ Cookie Settings link.
We also process opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control. These signals set your opt-out preferences only for the particular browser or device you are using. For information about how to use the Global Privacy Control, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

authorized agents for requests
If you would like your agent to make a request on your behalf to the extent permitted under applicable law, the agent may use the submission methods noted above under "how to exercise your privacy rights."

additional notice of financial incentive / loyalty program for App users who are residents of California and Colorado
We may offer various incentives, including special offers, discounts, rewards, and coupons pursuant to certain rewards and loyalty programs, including the Chevron Texaco Rewards and Albertsons Reward Points programs (each, a “Loyalty Program”), throughout the year to individuals who participate in a Loyalty Program (the “Members”) for providing us with personal data about them. Categories of personal data that may be collected pursuant to a Loyalty Program by either Chevron and/or Albertsons for purposes of administering the Loyalty Program, include, but are not limited to: identifiers such as name, mailing address, email address, mobile phone number and unique device information such as IP address or mobile operating system; geolocation information including, when a Member uses a Chevron or Albertsons app, the precise geolocation; commercial information; and other information Members provide when they participate in a Loyalty Program.
We do not assign a monetary value to the personal data we collect. But, based on our good-faith estimate, we believe the value received from a Member’s personal data is reasonably equal to the value of the benefits we offer to a Member pursuant to a Loyalty Program. We base our good faith estimate on: the value that arises from our commercial relationships, such as with business partners, vendors, and customers; the costs and expenses we incur in offering benefits to Members; the types of benefits provided; and the collection, use, and retention of the personal data of consumers who have voluntarily signed up and chosen to remain Members. The value of Loyalty Program benefits to Members varies significantly because individual Members take advantage of Loyalty Program benefits in different ways and to varying degrees. This estimate is not specific to any Member and may vary by Member. We have calculated such value by taking into consideration, without limitation, relevant factors related to the estimated value of such information to us, as set forth under California Law.
The following details are disclosed above in the Statement, in the section entitled “collection, processing, disclosure, and sharing of personal data”:
- Categories of personal data about Members processed for purposes of targeted advertising; and
- Categories of third parties that will receive personal data about Members, including sensitive personal data.
If eligible, you may join the Chevron Texaco Rewards program by creating a user account on the Chevron or Texaco mobile app or Chevron Texaco Rewards website. Material terms of participating in the Chevron Texaco Rewards program, including all terms and conditions concerning the collection, use and retention of a Member’s personal data, the required arbitration of any disputes Members have, and the waiver of Members’ ability to bring claims in class action format, are set forth in the applicable terms and conditions, Privacy Statement and this notice, and should be carefully reviewed prior to participation in the Chevron Texaco Rewards program.
You have the right to delete your user account on the App by going to “My Profile” on the app, selecting “Settings” and then “Delete Account” and following the prompts from there. Your user account will be deleted from both the App and chevrontexacorewards.com. This will include any payment methods, your viewable transaction receipts, and any earned points and rewards. Once you delete your user account, you will no longer be able to access this information. We reserve the right to maintain your personal data for eligibility purposes and to the extent permitted by law.
You may join the Albertsons (and other Albertsons Companies Inc. family of stores) Reward Points program (“Albertsons for U®”) by creating a Program Member account by (1) entering your 10-digit mobile phone number in an in-store PIN pad at checkout of an Albertsons or other ACI banner store, or (2) registering online at Albertsons.com/forU (or other ACI banner store sites ) or through each banner store’s mobile application by providing complete and accurate information. Full terms and conditions of your participation in the Albertsons forU® program, including opt-out and contact information can be found at Albertsons.com/foru and albertsonscompanies.com/about-us/our-policies/terms-of-use.html.
If you are a member of the Albertsons for U® program, you may enter your Albertsons for U® Loyalty ID directly into the pump dispenser or you may link your Albertsons for U® Loyalty ID (“forU Rewards mobile number”) in the Chevron or Texaco app “wallet” to redeem Albertsons gas rewards towards fuel purchases at participating Chevron and Texaco stations. Upon entering your registered phone number, Chevron or its administrator will check your available balances under both the Chevron Texaco Rewards and Albertsons for U® Rewards programs and provide you the option to redeem. The available rewards from both programs will be automatically combined and applied at participating stations if you linked your two accounts and paid using your App account or if you joined the Chevron Texaco Rewards and Safeway/Albertsons Reward Points programs with the same number.
You may unlink your Albertsons for U® Loyalty ID at any time by deleting it from the Chevron or Texaco app “wallet”. Once you unlink your Albertsons for U® Loyalty ID from the Chevron or Texaco app, you will need to enter your Albertsons for U® Loyalty ID at the pump dispenser following the prompts on the screen to redeem Albertsons gas rewards towards savings on fuel purchases at participating Chevron and Texaco stations.
