    • A. Personally Identifiable Information

      As used in this Privacy Policy, “personally identifiable information” (or “personal information” or “Personal Information”) is information about an identifiable individual, such as their name, mailing address, email address, or phone number, personal description, or photograph, whether used alone, or when combined with other personal or identifying information which is linked or linkable to a specific individual.

      We only collect such personally identifiable information as is reasonably necessary for us to fulfil the purposes set out in this policy, including personally identifiable information that is relevant to the legitimate purposes of the Site and the Services, and to enable Kumho Tire to provide the requested Services and do business with you. Please remember that you control what personally identifiable information you provide to us. You can visit the Site without providing any personally identifiable information at all.

      ii. Use of Personally Identifiable Information

      Your personally identifiable information submitted to us, whether through the Site, the Services, or otherwise, may be used by us for the purposes specified in this policy or as specified on the relevant pages of the Site or otherwise specified in connection with the Services, and any and all other legal purposes, which may include, but are not limited to, providing Services, responding to your requests and inquiries from you, corresponding with you, providing information about and marketing our products or services or products or services of third parties and informing you of offers or new features that we believe may be of interest to you, notifying you in case of a product recall, and administrative purposes such as conducting contests, tracking which parts of the Site are of interest to you and processing prizes.

We make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Affiliated Entities and any other third party service providers acting on our behalf are obligated to provide a comparable level of protection for your personally identifiable information to the level of protection that we provide, including using your personally identifiable information only to the extent necessary to provide the Services on our behalf.

      We may also use your personally identifiable information for internal business purposes, such as optimizing Site experiences and analyzing and managing our businesses.
