• Prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our Terms of Use Agreement;
• Customize, measure, and improve our services and the Site's content and layout;
• Tell you about targeted marketing, service updates, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences, and compare information for accuracy, and verify it with third parties; and
• Work with and disclose info to our third‐party vendors, who are under confidentiality obligations, solely to provide you with our services, enhance your customer experience, and fulfill your requests

Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, and respond to claims that content on the Site violates the rights of others, or protect anyone's rights, property, or safety.

We may also share your personal information with:

• Texpo affiliates and successors (and parties who acquire the assets or control of (or merge with) Texpo) who are engaged to perform service or functions for Texpo and Texpo customers;

Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and our ability to keep the community free from bad actors, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.

Access, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal Information

You may review and/or update your personal information at any time. If your personal information has changed or is inaccurate, please contact Texpo by email at customer.care@texpoenergy.com so that we may update your records as soon as is reasonably possible. We do retain historic personal information to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use Agreement, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.

Security

Your information is stored on our servers and servers of data and service providers. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use several tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. We also require our employees and affiliated service providers to refrain from disclosing your personal information to unauthorized third parties. However, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the Site. Therefore, although we work hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private. Further, although Texpo uses software to ensure the wellness and safety of the Site, we do not warranty that the Site or our digital correspondence with customers is free from harmful elements. Due to the rapid evolution of computer viruses and other internet issues, we strongly recommend that you use anti-virus software when accessing this Site.
