Last Updated: March 29, 2024

This Privacy Notice for California Residents - Kyocera Prospective Employees ("Notice") applies solely to applicants for employment at Kyocera who reside in the State of California ("consumers" or "you"). The Notice supplements the information contained in the Kyocera Privacy Statement and Policy supplements the information contained in the Kyocera Privacy Statement and Policy. We adopt this Notice to comply with the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA") and other California privacy laws. Any terms defined in the CPRA have the same meaning when used in this Notice.

In connection with the job inquiry and application process, we collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household or device ("personal information"). In particular, we have collected the following categories of personal information from Kyocera prospective employees within the last twelve (12) months some of which would be considered Sensitive Personal Information under the CPRA:

Personal information does not include:

• Publicly available information from government records or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern and information made available to the general public by the consumer or by widely distributed media.
• De-identified or aggregated consumer information.

  • Health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data; and
  • Personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

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

• Directly from Kyocera prospective employees. For example, a prospective employee fills out a job application.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the personal information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will correct inaccurate personal information concerning you in our records and direct our service providers and contractors to correct such inaccurate personal information in their records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your correction request if we determine the information is in fact accurate, if we are precluded by law from making the change you request or for any other reason authorized by the CPRA or other applicable law.

Opt-Out Rights

You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information or the use or disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. However, we do not sell or disclose or use your personal information for those purposes, so there is no need for you to opt out of such practices. Please contact us as provided below if you have concerns about your Opt-Out Rights.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, deletion and correction rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

• Calling us at (800) 736-6847
• Contacting us via our website at https://contact.kyocera.com/inquiry/gl/kmti/input.html

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. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

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. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We will work to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to a total of 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period by email or by written mail depending on your preference. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the personal information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CPRA rights. Unless permitted by the CPRA, we will not:

• Deny you goods or services.
• Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
• Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
• Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
