- Privacy Policy
United Oil and Gas PLC (“United” or “Company”) recognises and respects the importance of the privacy of our visitors of our websites and users of online systems. The purpose of this statement is to clearly detail how the Company processes that data, how we respect your privacy and how you may exercise your right to receive a copy of that data. At all times, we treat your data in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1988 and EU-wide regulations.
This policy accounts for the personal data and cookies, etc, used by our websites and online systems. If you do not agree with the terms herein, please do not use this website or online systems and delete the cookies placed by the website.
Note that “personal data” in the context of the GDPR regulation and the Data Protection Act just means data that can be identified with a particular individual (we can identify that the data relates to you through your name and address). It does not mean sensitive data – we do not obtain or hold sensitive information on you, just the information referred to above which is necessary to supply you with information we are required to send you in the normal operations of business or information you have opted to receive.
We do not sell or make available any of your details to others such as direct-mail or other marketing companies. We only disclose your information to, for example, a shareholding service who may be subcontracted to print and post documents to you. These third-party companies may not disclose or share your details.

As a group, United may transfer personal data collected on an aggregated or individual level to data processors outside of the Company for storage and service purposes. Personal data will not be disclosed to anyone outside United unless permitted or required under applicable legislation.

Our websites and online services are intended for a general audience, and United does not knowingly collect personal data about any person under the age of 18 years of age.
If you have submitted personal data to us, e.g. when registering for a news update or a service, you enjoy certain rights to gain access to the data processed about you according to applicable regulations. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, to rectify the data processed, if relevant, and the right to be forgotten if there is no longer a statutory obligation to retain your data.
