Collection and use of personal information
If during your visit to this website you wish to download content and access our free resources, you will be prompted to create an account. For legitimate business reasons, we will need to know certain information about you and your organisation in order to provide tailored services. We will only use your personal information to provide the information, products or services which you actively opted-in to receive.
Where you have subscribed to receive our newsletter(s) or marketing communications, we will collect information relating to your interactions with that communication, such as whether you receive, open or click on a link within an email communication. We offer you the option to unsubscribe at all times from further communications.
Disclosures and transfers of personal information
Any transfer of personal data to this site will be secured by encryption. We may store or transfer your personal data to our other BP companies around the world. We do this under our group-wide Binding Corporate Rules, which guarantee an adequate level of data protection wherever your data is physically kept.
We also use the services of third-party service providers to host our webcasts and offer technical support. Any third-party provider we appoint must act in accordance with our written instructions when processing your personal data and must protect your personal data in line with the contractually required security measures. Where we store or transfer your personal data to a third party provider based outside the European Economic Area, we take steps to ensure your personal data is adequately protected.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal data as required by law, or when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, request from a regulator or any other legal process served on BP. If there is a takeover, sale or purchase of our business, we may disclose your personal data to the new (or prospective) owner of the business.
Site traffic information and cookies
Where your selected browser setting permits, when you visit this site and other BP sites, persistent cookies (and their functional equivalents, such as web beacons) are placed onto your computer. These log data about your visit to BP's websites based on your device's IP address.

1. collect information about how visitors use it, allowing us to enhance the performance of our websites by analysing such information (e.g., to maintain a consistent look and feel for the visitor) and
2. increase the website’s functionality and make it more personal to you by allowing us to remember your previous choices (e.g., your location and preferred font type and size) and to provide any enhanced features detailed in the cookie-specific user notice.
These cookies expire two years after your last visit. The information they collect is not used to send you targeted advertising, identify who you are or remember where you’ve been on the internet (with the exception of logging visits to other BP sites). You agree that your attention was drawn specifically to this section of our privacy statement and to any explicit privacy notice given to you and that you consent to our use of these cookies for these purposes.

Third party websites we link to
Our website may contain links to third-party sites. This privacy statement does not apply to those third party sites. We recommend that you read the privacy statements of any other sites that you visit as we cannot accept responsibility for the privacy practices of these sites which may be different to ours.
When you register, you are offered the facility to use an address look-up service provided to us by a third party called SPIRIT. This is a UK based database of schools supplied to us by The Education Company Ltd. We use this database to gather supplemental information, such as your school postcode. This allows us to simplify your registration process and monitor which resources you open to assist us in our development of new resources.
