Purposes for which we will use your personal data

Marketing and communications

Personal information will be collected and used to provide you with details of the Texaco Star Rewards Scheme, Points earned which includes receiving statements, services and information requested, dispatch rewards, how to use your rewards, reward usage and Account administration. It will also be used to send you Scheme Member benefits information about Star Rewards Scheme including special offers and promotions including those which may allow you to collect Points. This information will be sent by email / post and SMS/ MMS and push notification where you have opted in to receive push notifications.

You can opt out of receiving these direct marketing communications at any time by following the instructions set out in each marketing communication or by changing your preferences within your Account settings on the website/App or by contacting customercare@valero.com

You can also choose whether to receive mobile push marketing notifications through the Texaco app – you can manage your preferences for push notifications at any time through your device’s notifications permissions settings, which is determined by your device’s operating system (either iOS or Android). If using iOS, you need to visit ‘Settings’ on your Apple device and then ‘notifications’ and select ‘Texaco to opt out of push notifications. If you are an Android user, select ‘settings’ on your device and then ‘apps’. Select Texaco Star Rewards, and Under ‘notifications’, turn the ‘show notifications’ toggle to off to opt out.

If you opt-out of receiving direct marketing communications, you will still receive essential service-related communications related to your Account and the operation of the loyalty Scheme such as Points balance updates, order confirmation emails/texts/phone calls and reminders that your Points are about to expire.
