The following describes some of the ways that we may disclose your Personal Information may:

Does CVR Energy’s Website contain links to other websites?
Yes. While the Website does contain links to other third-party sites (“Third-Party Sites”), these sites are not operated or controlled by CVR Energy and have their own separate privacy policies. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those other Third-Party Sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or any acts or inactions by such other websites. Links from the Website do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed the Third-Party Sites; we recommend you review the privacy policies of such Third-Party Sites before visiting.
How does CVR Energy protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of my Personal Information?
The security and confidentiality of your Personal Information is important to us. We have technical, administrative, and physical security measures in place to defend your Personal Information from unauthorized access or disclosure and improper use.
For example, we use Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption to protect the data collection forms on our Site. In addition, we restrict access to your Personal Information. Only employees who need the Personal Information to perform a specific job are granted access to Personal Information. Employees with access to Personal Information are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, information that you disclose by use of this Website (as with any site that is non-secure), by posting a message or using e-mail, potentially could be collected and used by others. This may result in unsolicited messages from third parties or use of such information by third parties for their own purposes, legal or illegal. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, CVR Energy cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to close your browser after you have completed your visit to the Site.
Please note that despite our reasonable efforts, no security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable, so we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information.
