1. Introduction
Pacific Rim Petroleum Company LLC (“Pacific Rim,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of individuals and organizations that visit our website, communicate with our team, submit commercial inquiries, or otherwise interact with us through our online services.
This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information obtained through pacificrimpetro.com (the “Website”) and related website forms and communications.
By using the Website or voluntarily submitting information through it, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through or in connection with the Website and does not supersede any separate confidentiality, contractual, compliance, or information-handling obligations that may apply to a specific commercial relationship or transaction.
I deliberately used “may” in several places. We don't want the policy making absolute representations about every situation.

Depending on the nature and progression of an opportunity, additional corporate, commercial, financial, identification, or transaction-related information may be requested separately. Any subsequent exchange of information may also be subject to applicable confidentiality agreements, transaction documents, or other contractual arrangements between the relevant parties.
Submission of information through the Website does not create a contractual, fiduciary, advisory, agency, brokerage, partnership, or other commercial relationship unless expressly established through separate written agreement.

Pacific Rim may retain information associated with verification requests when reasonably appropriate for security, fraud prevention, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, protection of our corporate identity, or other legitimate business purposes.
If you provide a suspicious communication or document for verification, it may contain information relating to third parties. Please provide only the information reasonably necessary for Pacific Rim to evaluate the request.
