2. Sources of Personal Information

We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following distinct classes of sources:

3. California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) Compliance Notice

The California Invasion of Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 630 et seq.) protects individuals from unauthorized electronic eavesdropping, wiretapping, and data interception. KMC Rubber utilizes modern website technologies to provide real-time assistance, ensure website performance, and maintain security. We outline our exact data interception boundaries below to maintain strict compliance with CIPA thresholds:

A. Chat Features and Customer Support Modules

Our website may utilize interactive live chat, automated chatbot assistants, or contact submission forms. When you communicate through these utilities, your inputs, messages, and transcripts are recorded, synthesized, and processed in real time. These utilities are strictly operated by us and our contractually restricted third-party technology providers. By utilizing our interactive tools, you explicitly acknowledge and consent to the transmission, recording, and real-time monitoring of your communications by KMC Rubber and its authorized technical processors.

B. Session Replay, Analytics, and Tracking Pixels

We deploy software utilities, such as session replay tools, tracking pixels, web beacons, and analytical cookies, to record and evaluate user interactions with our website. These tools may capture mouse movements, scrolling, keystrokes, pages visited, and forms completed. These analytical records are used solely for website optimization, debugging, UI diagnostics, and protecting our cyber infrastructure. All data processed by third-party analytics providers is governed by strict service-provider clauses that forbid the vendor from utilizing your interaction data for their own independent advertising or commercial purposes. If you do not consent to this tracking, you must configure your browser to reject cookies or deploy a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as outlined below.

4. Disclosures, Sales, and Sharing of Personal Information

Under the CCPA/CPRA, a “sale” is defined broadly to include exchanging personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” specifically refers to disclosing information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. Consumer Rights Under CCPA and CPRA

California consumers possess specific statutory rights regarding their personal information. As a California resident, you may exercise the following rights, subject to certain legal constraints:

A. Right to Know and Access

You have the right to request that we disclose specific information regarding our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm a verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

B. Right to Request Deletion

You have the right to request that we delete personal information we collected from you. Note that as an industrial manufacturing company, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is legally required to fulfill a contract, comply with product safety requirements, manage warranties, prevent fraud, or satisfy state and federal tax/regulatory reporting mandates.

C. Right to Correct Inaccurate Information

If you identify that the personal information we maintain about you or your commercial procurement account is inaccurate, you have the right to request that we correct that data.

D. Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing

You have the right to direct us to not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can exercise this right via our cookie management banner, transmitting a Global Privacy Control signal, or submitting an opt-out request using the contact methods below.

E. Right to Limit the Use of Sensitive Personal Information

We do not collect or process sensitive personal information (such as social security numbers, precise geolocation, or racial origin) for the purpose of inferring characteristics about consumers. If we ever alter this practice, you will be provided a statutory right to limit such processing.

F. Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. We will not deny you goods, charge different prices, or provide an altered tier of manufacturing or website quality if you exercise your privacy options.

6. How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights

To exercise your California statutory rights to know, delete, correct, or opt-out, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us through one of the following methods:

Web Request Form: www.kmcrubber.com/privacy-request

Compliance Phone Number: (562) 396-0121

Corporate Privacy Email: privacy@kmcrubber.com

Verification Process

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. To protect your security, we must verify your identity before processing any substantive request. We will match at least two or three points of data provided in your request against our internal secure databases (such as past compound order history, corporate email addresses, or verified billing records). If you use an authorized agent, we require written, signed proof of authorization and direct identity verification of the consumer.

7. Automated Opt-Out Signals: Global Privacy Control (GPC)

In accordance with California enforcement mandates, our website is configured to detect and process Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by client browsers or opt-out extensions. If our infrastructure detects an active GPC signal from your browser, we automatically interpret that signal as a valid request to opt out of the “sharing” or “sale” of internet tracking data for that specific browser and device, without requiring further manual entry.

8. Other California Privacy Disclosures

A. California “Shine the Light” Law

Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1798.83, residents of California have the right to request information regarding whether a business has disclosed personal information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. KMC Rubber does not disclose consumer personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes.

B. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Except for recognized universal opt-out mechanisms like GPC, our website does not currently alter its operational responses based on individual browser-level “Do Not Track” (DNT) header signals due to the lack of a uniform cross-industry technical standard.

9. Amendments to This Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Policy at our discretion at any time to reflect updates in compounding and manufacturing workflows, website tech stacks, or statutory changes in California law. When updates occur, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document. Any changes become effective immediately upon posting to our website platform.
