This Privacy Policy applies only to the KIZ practices regarding personal information which is collected by KIZ and processed and hosted by KIZ and NOT to other sites hosted by another third-party. If you represent an entity, the entity may have its own policies addressing collection, use and sharing of personal information, and you should check with that entity before proceeding to use the Solution.

KIZ Privacy Policy Statement Changes
If we change this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy, with an updated effective date, to the website by way of a link to https://www.kizresources.com/privacy When we believe material changes affecting users are made to this Privacy Policy, KIZ will notify you, and we will also post notice where required (www.KIZ.com/privacy) so that you are aware of the changes to our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are collecting, using and sharing personal information. This version of the policy is effective as of the latest date indicated in the Change Log, below. Except as otherwise required by law, all changes to this Privacy Policy will be effective when the updated Privacy Policy is posted to the https://www.kizresources.com/privacy page and each user is bound by such changes when he or she uses the website after such changes have been posted.
Usage Implies Consent
By using the website, you consent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use the KIZ website. Similarly, with respect to personal information which you provide voluntarily, please do not submit such information if you do not want KIZ to collect and maintain it as provided for herein.
Non-personal Information
In the event that any information KIZ collects is, or later becomes, public information that is not required at the time to be maintained as confidential under applicable laws, or to the extent that any information we collect is neither personal in nature nor otherwise required to be maintained as confidential under applicable laws, then KIZ shall have no responsibility hereunder in connection therewith. As an example, KIZ may aggregate certain information we maintain with information about other individuals in a manner that does not disclose personal information specific to any individual. As an additional example, KIZ may remove characteristics that make the individual personally identifiable, thereby de-personalizing the information. In either of these examples, KIZ shall be free to utilize the information in any way and, unless otherwise required by law, shall not be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. As always, KIZ will comply with all applicable laws and governing regulations in the collection, use and disclosure of information.
Additional Limitations
Despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. In this regard, we are not responsible for events or conditions beyond our reasonable control to the extent that they relate to or impact the obligations assumed, or commitments made, hereunder. However, in the event of any data breach or other violation of this Privacy Policy caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, we will comply with all applicable laws in this regard, including those requiring notification in the event of certain defined data breaches.
