We also collect information that you make available. For example, we may collect information you submit to a blog, a chat room, or a social network like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

By gathering additional information about you, we can have accurate information so that we may give you product recommendations and special offers that are more likely to interest you.
Sometimes you may voluntarily provide information to 7-Eleven Hawai‘i, Inc. This occurs when you fill out a customer response card, providing your name and address, or perhaps when you provide feedback to 7-Eleven Hawai‘i through communications such as e-mail or a written letter. 7-Eleven Hawai‘i uses that information to respond to your query and to keep track of customer feedback. This also applies to information for employment considerations.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES:
We may share your information with service providers that provide us with support services, such as credit card processing, website hosting, email delivery, postal mail processing and delivery, and analytics services. We require the companies to refrain from collecting, using and disclosing your information except when they are performing work for us or when the disclosure of your information is required by law.
We also may be required to disclose your information if we believe that it is required by law or necessary to enforce our agreements or policies, or if we believe that the disclosure will help us protect the rights, property, or safety of 7-Eleven Hawai‘i or our customers or partners.
We may share your information with third parties which may be used to provide you with personalized promotions and special offers. We may share anonymous, aggregated statistics about your use of our websites and services with other companies. Information that directly identifies you will only be shared upon your consent. However, we may share information about you without releasing your identity.
We allow certain service providers to use the information collected on our websites and services to help us learn about our visitors and how people use our websites. The companies that use this information for this purpose do not match the information to individual users. Statistical information collected by third parties regarding website usage or performance is not matched or linked to you.
7-Eleven Hawai‘i does not sell or otherwise share your personal information with anyone else, such as advertising agencies or marketing companies. 7-Eleven Hawai‘i sends flyers or brochures only to those customers who specifically request that they be added to the mailing list. This information is sent to customers by regular mail or e-mail, depending on the customer’s election.
RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION:
Generally, 7-Eleven Hawai‘i keeps your personal information only as long as it needs to in order to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. For example, if you send a written inquiry to 7-Eleven Hawai‘i, we will retain your letter long enough to deal with your query, and for a reasonable time thereafter in order to satisfy itself no further follow-up is required.
In some cases, 7-Eleven Hawai‘i is required by law to keep your personal information for a specified period of time. For example, where information is collected for things such as credit or debit purchases or refunds, 7-Eleven Hawai‘i is required to retain this information for seven years for audit purposes.
No personal data is captured or retained during the collection process for restricted age purchases.
For those customers who request to be added to mailing lists or who register on 7-Eleven Hawai‘i, Inc. Internet database, personal information is kept until the customer notifies 7-Eleven Hawai‘i that it no longer wishes to participate in these programs.
Online applications for employment are active for a maximum of 3-months and are retained for a minimum of one year.
ACCURACY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION:
7-Eleven Hawai‘i relies on our customers to notify us of any changes in address or telephone number, if they wish to continue receiving flyers and other information from us. Customers who are registered on our Internet database service are given the ability to update their personal information as it changes. Because most of the information we get from you is related to a single purchase, we generally encounter few problems with inaccuracy of information. However, should inaccurate information come to our attention, we will investigate the matter, correct the information, and if necessary, advise third parties that the information has been corrected.
PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION:
Only those staff members who need the information to respond to your requests are given access to it. Employees are provided with training and information regarding the proper handling of personal information of 7-Eleven Hawai‘i customers. All information stored in our computer system is protected from access by unauthorized users.

We are also committed to ensuring that information about our customers is accurate and up-to-date. We will provide you with information we have about you upon your request.
In some cases, 7-Eleven Hawai‘i may not be able to provide you with all the information we have about you. This would occur if the provision of the information could lead to disclosure of another individual’s personal information, where laws or regulations prevent disclosure, or where it would simply be too costly to provide the information. If we decide not to disclose some or all of your personal information to you, we will advise you of the reason.
