Chaparral Energy Web Site Privacy Policy


Privacy Commitment

Chaparral Energy respects the privacy of your information. We provide this policy as an explanation of our online information practices and as a demonstration of our commitment to protect your privacy.

We do not sell or share any personally identifying information of any kind that may be collected during your visit or use of our web site without your permission, unless otherwise provided in a separate Terms of Service Agreement. Should you enter into a separate Terms of Service Agreement with us, any binding policy within that Terms of Service Agreement that may conflict with this privacy policy will take precedence over this policy.

Information We Collect

If you choose to register on our web site, we may collect and store your name, address or other personally identifying information. This information may be necessary to provide services that you request via this web site. We may also use information that you provide in order to customize your experience on our web site.

Additionally, we may automatically gather general statistical information about our web site and visitors, including but not limited to IP addresses, browser types, pages viewed, number of visitors, goods and services provided, and time of day information, but in doing so we do not reference any visitor by individual name, e-mail address, home address, telephone number or any other such personally identifying information. We may choose to use this statistical data in order to improve features, goods or services provided through this web site. Chaparral Energy does not provide this statistical information to any third parties. This statistical information is only for the proprietary use of Chaparral Energy, and is not related in any way to any personally identifying information that you may provide.

As part of our services on this web site, we may choose to use cookies to store and track information about you and your visit. Some features of our web site may be available only through the use of a cookie. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive as a file. In general, we use cookies as a reminder of who you are and what your preferences are in regards to your use of our web site. Cookies also enable you to access your account information in such a way that you do not have to re-enter all of your information every time you visit our web site. We may also use cookies to gather statistical information about usage by registered users of our web site, in order to improve our sites and services. Preferences within your web browser will determine if and how a cookie will be accepted by your browser when you visit our web site. You can change these options on your computer if you so desire. By changing your cookie preferences, you can choose to accept all cookies, or choose to be notified when a cookie is set on your computer, or you can reject all cookies. If you choose to disable the use of cookies in your browser, you may be required to re-enter your information more often and certain features of our web site may be unavailable to you with those settings.

On this web site, we may provide links to other third party web sites. Since Chaparral does not manage or control these third party web sites, we encourage you to review the legal and/or privacy policies posted on those web sites for more information regarding personal information. Any portion of this web site that may be managed or controlled by third parties or affiliates outside of Chaparral Energy will have a separate privacy policy published within that particular portion of the web site, and Chaparral Energy is not responsible for the content or terms of such policy beyond the scope of our management or control.

How We Use Your Information

We may use your personally identifying information to improve our services, statistically analyze site usage and performance, improve our content and offerings of products and services and customize the layout of our web site.

We may use your e-mail address, your mailing address, or fax number to contact you directly regarding administrative notices, and communications relevant to your use of this web site.

We may also use or disclose information to resolve disputes, investigate problems, or enforce our TOS Agreement(s) or as otherwise required by law.

We may use your IP address information to help diagnose problems with our web server, to manage our web site and to enhance our site based on the usage pattern data that we receive.

We do not use any personally identifying information outside the scope of this privacy policy without prior consent or a specific Terms of Service Agreement.

Security

We employ reasonable, up-to-date security methods to prevent unauthorized access of web site data, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct use of information. All of your account information and profile are password-protected, should you register on our web site, and all passwords are encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone for any reason. Our personnel will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or unsolicited e-mail of any type. Remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished your session. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information on a shared computer or public terminal where others may have access to the computer that you use.

When you voluntarily disclose personal information online (for example, message boards, e-mail, chat rooms), the possibility does exist that this information can be collected and used by others. No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. As a result, while we employ the best efforts possible to protect your personal information, and will continue to do so, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Any modifications to this policy will be published on this web site at least 30 days in advance of its effective date. By visiting or using this web site following the effective date of any policy modifications, you agree to be bound by any such modifications to the terms of the policy.

By visiting or using this web site, you consent to the collection and use of information contained within or submitted through this web site in the manner we describe within this policy and agree to be bound by the terms of this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not use this web site.
