For testing, research, analytics and product and service development.

Information about our Personal Information Processing Activities

Additional details of how we process personal information are set forth in the chart above.

Personal information is retained based on internal retention policies. Information is segregated by legal retention requirements and maintained in accordance with various local, state, federal, and other legal requirements. Personal information will not be retained beyond the reasonably foreseen need to retain the information for legal or business purposes.

We disclose personal information to third parties who perform marketing and data analytics services for us, such as Google, or LinkedIn. These disclosures, even when they do not include the exchange of monetary compensation, may constitute a "sale," which is defined under the CCPA to mean any disclosure to a third party in exchange for anything of value. Under this definition of the concept of a "sale" we may sell consumers' personal information. We share cookies and other tracking technologies with third parties as described in our online privacy policy: https://www.kiddeglobalsolutions.com/privacy-notice. As a result, we may "share" personal information, which under the CCPA means to share personal information with a third party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.

We do not sell or share (for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising) the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than the following:

To perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those goods or services.
To prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity, or confidentiality of stored or transmitted personal information.
To resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at the business and to prosecute those responsible for those actions.
To ensure the physical safety of natural persons.
For short-term, transient use, including, but not limited to, non-personalized advertising shown as part of a consumer's current interaction with the business, provided that the personal information is not disclosed to another third party and is not used to build a profile about the consumer or otherwise alter the consumer's experience outside the current interaction with the business.
To perform services on behalf of the business.
To verify or maintain the quality or safety of a product, service, or device that is owned, manufactured, manufactured for, or controlled by the business, and to improve, upgrade, or enhance the service or device that is owned, manufactured by, manufactured for, or controlled by the business.
To collect or process sensitive personal information where such collection or processing is not for the purpose of inferring characteristics about a consumer.

Your Privacy Rights

Submitting Consumer Requests

You may submit a consumer request to us by email at privacy@kgsolutions.com or by phone at 1-833-694-4888 (toll free) to make a consumer request. You may make up to two disclosure requests in any 12 month period. Please review the consumer request forms below.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

When you submit a verifiable consumer request, we will take steps to verify your request by email or telephone call. In some cases, we may request additional information in order to verify your request or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to adequately verify a request, we will notify the requestor. Authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization and we may also require that the relevant consumer directly verify their identity and the authority of the authorized agent.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

We will notify you of any denial of your deletion request and the reason for such denial.

We may sell personal information we collect about you, as the term "Sale" is defined by the CCPA. You may opt out of the sale or sharing (for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising) of your personal information by signaling an opt-out preference by making an opt-out request.

To submit a request under the Right to Opt-Out, please provide the information necessary to identify the consumer to whom the request should be applied and reasonable identifying information that you are authorized to make the request and submit an email requesting your "Right to Opt-Out" to privacy@kgsolutions.com or by phone at 1-833-694-4888 (toll free).

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sharing or sale at any time by contacting us.

Authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization to submit opt-out requests and we may also require that the relevant consumer directly verify their identity and the authority of the authorized agent in limited circumstances.

Right to Non-Retaliation for Exercise of Consumer Privacy Rights

We will not discriminate against you because you have chosen to exercise any of your privacy rights provided by the CCPA.
