Privacy and Security Notice

Kimball Electronics sincerely appreciates your trust and confidence in our goods and services. The privacy and security of the information collected from you is a priority to us. It is equally important to us that you understand how we handle the information. This policy does not cover any information collected by third-parties that may link to or be accessible from or through our website or our other electronic communications.
 

By accessing, browsing, or using this website, you expressly acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to all of the terms of this Privacy Notice, as outlined below and as it may be modified by us from time to time without prior notice. If you do not agree to all of these terms, please do not browse or use this website or provide information to us through this website or other channels, such as e-mails, text messages, and other electronic communications.
 

Collection of Information

The information we collect depends upon your consent and what you do when visiting our website. For visitors to our website, we may request you to provide specific information about yourself in order to engage in certain activities. Such information will generally include your name, User ID, phone number, e-mail address, and mailing address. We encourage visitors to only provide business phone numbers and addresses. Although it is optional for you to disclose the requested information, you must do so in order to engage in certain activities on our website or establish or maintain a relationship with us. To conduct business and comply with government regulations (employment, tax, insurance, etc.) we may collect additional personal information, particularly on potential and actual employees and their family members, such as government identification numbers (ex. social security numbers, tax payer ID's, driver's license, etc.), date of birth, gender, race, ethnicity, health and disability information, family-related information (ex. marital status, personal and health-related information on family members, etc.), trade union information, and any other necessary information. Anyone sending unsolicited information to Kimball by any means explicitly consents to storage, destruction, processing, disclosure, and/or any other use by Kimball or any other party of the unsolicited information.

Cookies and Other Automatic Data Collection

We may also acquire certain information about you through automatic data collection technologies, such as from a "cookie," from web beacons, and from your IP/Internet address. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your web browser on your computer's hard drive and allow us to serve you faster and with better quality. Web beacons are small electronics files (also often referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us to do things like count users who have visited our website or opened a communication from us to enable us to record statistics and verify system/server integrity. If you don't like cookies, web beacons, or similar automatic data collection, please do not accept them, delete existing cookies from your browser’s history, or discontinue use of our website and services.

Use of the information we collect

When you grant consent, we will use your information as follows:
 

• to identify our vendors' and customers' agents
• to communicate with our third-party vendors and customers
• to provide you with smooth, efficient, customized services
• to provide our customers better customer support
• to improve our marketing and promotional efforts
• to analyze usage of our website
• to comply with legal requirements
• to fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it or that we may describe when you provide the information
• for any other purpose with your consent
   

Disclosure of Information

We promise that we will not disclose, sell or otherwise distribute to any third party any of your personally identifiable information without your prior permission except under the following circumstances:

• Legal requests and investigations - We may disclose any information about you when, in our opinion, such disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud or to comply with any statute, law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any order of any court of competent jurisdiction.
• Third-party service providers - We may, from time to time, outsource some or all of our package delivery, marketing and promotional or website operation to third-party service providers. In such cases, it will be necessary for us to disclose your information to those service providers. In some cases, the service providers may collect information directly from you on our behalf. We restrict how such service providers may access, use and disclose your information.
• Business Transfers - As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy companies, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy policies (unless, of course, the person consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Kimball or all of its assets are acquired, your information may be one of the transferred assets.
• Protection of Kimball and Others - We release information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our policies and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Kimball, our customers and employees, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from people for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
   

Accessing and Updating your Personal Information

We shall endeavor to honor any reasonable request to restrict the use of your information. However, you should not expect that all of your historical information will be removed from our databases at the time you notify us of changes. We may not accommodate a request to change or delete information if we believe the change or deletion would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

To access, change, remove, or opt out of further use of personal information that you have provided to us, please login to the specific application(s) you have utilized (i.e., career opportunities) and/or notify us via email at keiprivacy@kimballelectronics.com.

Security of your Personal Information

We employ reasonable security measures and technologies, such as password protection, encryption, physical locks, etc., to ensure the confidentiality of your personal information. However, you should be aware that no data transmission can be 100% guaranteed, and our security measures do not protect your information once it leaves our web server's control.

Also, since our website may provide links to third-party sites that we do not control, we assume no responsibility whatsoever with respect to those sites. You should read and accept the privacy policies of all such sites before accessing them.

In the event you grant us permission to transfer your data and we transer your data to third parties, we retain a measure of liability for the protection of the entrusted data.
