We understand it is important to update the notice to encompass changes in business and legal requirements and obligations. This notice is created to supplement the Privacy Policy of K.P.O. And Company.

Since California Consumer Protection Act 2018 (CCPA) has taken a step to protect the privacy of employees who are residents of California through the means of only consented use of their information, we have decided to take these measures as golden standards for all of our employees. However, it is completely voluntary for us to provide CCPA-like rights to those who are living in jurisdictions that don’t have such requirements. 

Pursuant to the CCPA, K.P.O. And Company (“K.P.O. And Company,” “we,” "our," or “us”) is required to provide its employees who are residents of California a notice regarding the use of their personal information. According to the act, such notice should be given to the associated party before or at the point of collection of such personal information and the notice should also disclose why each personal information is being collected by us. 

This notice is thus aimed to provide employees who are California residents all the information about their rights regarding the use of their personal information under CCPA. Such employees are also requested to visit this notice from time to time to get notified about any legitimate change set forth by business or legal requirements.

You," “Employees” or “Employee”: 

Processing,” “Processed,” or “Process”: 

As defined by CCPA, “Processing” or related terms means “any operation or set of operations that are performed on personal data.” These operations can be through both automated or not automated means and generally, include activities such as storage, collection, organization, recording, structuring, analysis, adaptation, alteration, use, consultation, retrieval, disclosure by transmission, combination, generalization, restriction, dissemination, destruction or erasure of personal information. 

How and Why We Collect Personal Information About You

K.P.O. And Company may possess different categories of information we may possess about employees. However, it will never collect additional categories of personal information from you, nor it will use any collected information for additional reasons or purposes other than mentioned in this notice.

These identifiers also cover IP address, beacons, cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies in addition to user alias, telephone numbers or other forms of probabilistic data and identifiers.
