Last Updated September 15, 2022

Kyocera SLD Laser, Inc. (“KSLD”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your desire for privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect about you, whether on our website, application, or elsewhere (collectively, the “Site”). It also explains why we collect the information, as well as how we collect and use the information.
‍
If you live outside of the United States and choose to use the Site, you do so at your own risk and understand that your information will be sent to and stored in the United States. By using the Site in the United States or otherwise providing personal information to us, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
‍

Personal Information we collect

“Personal Information” generally means any information that identifies you as an individual, and any other information we associate with it. We collect several categories of information, from a few different sources:

Information you provide

We collect information and other content you provide us, which may include:

user ID and password;
contact information when you register a product or submit an inquiry, such as your name, street address, date of birth, phone number, and/or email address. You may also provide us with information about other people, such as when you provide employment references or employment services;
financial information (e.g., credit card and account numbers, payment details) in connection with a transaction;
shipping, billing, and other information you provide in connection with the or shipping of an item, as well as information required for customs clearance (such as tax identification numbers or other identification numbers) and relevant shipping information (such as shipment numbers and tracking information);
any content or contributions you post in a public space on the Site, including comments, videos and photos that you might submit;
product and account details in connection with product registration, warranty claims, and service requests or repairs;
other data we are required or entitled by applicable law to collect and process and needed for your authentication or identification, or for the verification of the data we collect.

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

Directly or indirectly from our existing or prospective customers, representatives, vendors, suppliers, service providers, Business to Business (B2B) partners, employees, and other persons who may interact with us. Examples include:

Directly when a customer provides email addresses for correspondence or a personal address to ship one of our products.

Indirectly when we receive the payment method associated with a customer’s purchase of one of our products.
‍
Directly and indirectly from activity on our websites. For example, from submissions through our website portal or website usage details collected automatically.

Usage Information We passively collect information when you use the Site, through our web servers and third-party analytics tools. For instance, our system logs may record certain information about visitors to the Site, including the web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device and mobile ad identifiers, browser information, interaction with the Site, pages viewed, app usage, and other such information. We may collect similar information from emails you receive from us that can help us track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients.

We also use certain cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to help us understand how you use the Site and enable us to personalize your experience. To learn more about cookies, please see the Cookies and Analytics section below, or visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

Information from Third Parties We may receive Personal Information about you, your purchase, or KSLD product from third parties such as dealers, contract manufacturers, repair and service centers, and advertising partners, to supplement the information we receive directly from you. If we do so, this Policy governs how we can use that information.

Non-Identifiable Information In addition to collecting Personal Information, we may collect information that does not identify you and is not associated with your Personal Information. We may also de-identify information, so it no longer identifies you. We may also aggregate and use such information to engage in marketing and other activities in a manner that does not use Personal Information and is thus outside the scope of this Privacy Policy.

HOW WE SHARE INFORMATIOn

To the extent permitted by law, KSLD may disclose your Personal Information to the following
categories of third parties:

To our affiliates for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy;
to our professional advisors, such as accountants, auditors, legal representatives and similar providers in connection with the professional services that they provide to us;
to our third-party service providers who provide repairs and warranty services, order, literature and sample fulfillment, website hosting, applications, services, tools, data analytics, marketing/advertising, payment processing, infrastructure provision, IT services, customer service and repairs, email delivery services, and other such services, to enable them to
provide services;
to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings); and
in connection with the essential purposes described above (e.g., to comply with legal obligations).

When we do share Personal Information, we will require third party service providers to use the Personal Information in a manner consistent with the purposes for which it was originally collected (or to which you subsequently consented) and only as permitted under this Privacy Statement, the Notices and Terms of Use, and any applicable country or web site privacy statements, and all applicable privacy and data protection laws. These third parties are required to use the Personal Information KSLD shares with them only to perform services on KSLD’s behalf and to treat your Personal Information as confidential.

In certain, limited circumstances we may share or transfer Personal Information to unrelated third parties. For example, we may provide Personal Information to a third party: (i) at your request; (ii) to comply with a legal requirement or court order; (iii) to investigate a possible crime, such as identity theft; (iv) in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of KSLD or a KSLD business unit; or (v) under similar circumstances. If any such event occurs, KSLD will take appropriate steps to protect your Personal Information. The KSLD websites can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Accordingly, KSLD cannot control the transfer of data from such location to the website itself and cannot assure that the transmission of such data is secure. Once the website has collected information, further transfer may be international depending on the
nature of the information. For example, a customer in Germany seeking products may visit the website and provide ordering information which is then transferred to a facility outside Germany to fulfill that order.
