PRIVACY POLICY

Introduction
Welcome! Your privacy is important to Kia America, Inc. (herein referred to as “Kia” or “we,” “our” or “us”) and its affiliate companies. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use the websites and online services that we own, operate, or make available and that link to or reference this Privacy Policy (e.g., websites such as Kia.com, owners.kia.com, and kiamedia.com and certain of our mobile websites, mobile applications, downloads, and interactive features) (collectively, the “Site”). The Privacy Policy also describes how we use and disclose information collected by us “offline” (including, but not limited to, by postal mail, contest submissions, loyalty programs, telephone requests, surveys, or auto shows). In the Privacy Policy, we refer to our online and offline activities collectively as the "Services." This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected using in-vehicle technologies and related services, including online and mobile services that connect to or collect information from your Kia vehicle; a different privacy policy may apply to such collection, such as the privacy policy for Kia Connect Services, available at https://owners.kia.com/us/en/privacy-policy.html.
To the extent we provide you notice on our Services of different or additional privacy policies or practices (e.g., at the point of our collection), those additional terms shall govern such data collection and use.
In addition, please review the Services’ Terms of Service, which governs your use of the Services. By using our Services, you consent to our Privacy Policy, the Terms of Service, the terms of service applicable to specific Kia products or services you choose to use, and our collection, use, and disclosure of your information and data, and other activities, as described below.
The Site and information on it is intended for use and access by U.S. residents only. Kia does not knowingly collect, process, access, or intend to access the Personal Information of persons residing outside of the U.S., including in Europe and China. If you do not reside in the U.S., you should stop accessing the Site. Instead, you should visit the Kia-affiliated website that is applicable to your country or region.

1. Who We Are
Kia is a United States based subsidiary of Kia Corporation, which is based in Seoul, South Korea. We are the exclusive distributor of Kia-branded vehicles, parts, and accessories in the United States. Our “dealers” and “licensees” are independent companies that sell our vehicles, parts, and accessories, and are licensed to operate such businesses using the trade names, trademarks, and service marks owned by us or our affiliates. Our “business partners” are independent companies that we contract with to provide you with or offer you other services and products. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to dealers, licensees, and business partners collectively as “Partners.” This Privacy Policy governs only Kia’s privacy practices. It does not govern the privacy practices of our Partners, even when you connect to their websites from the Services and when their websites or communications are co-branded with Kia trademarks. To learn about the privacy practices of our Partners, please review the privacy policies of each of those Partners. However, if a Partner discloses information to us (including when you purchase or service a Kia vehicle with a dealer), this Privacy Policy will apply to our collection and use of such disclosed information.
Our “Affiliates” include our parent company(ies), subsidiaries, sister companies, and affiliated companies. As described below, we may disclose information that we collect to our Affiliates. Our Affiliates may have their own privacy policies that govern their treatment of information that you provide to them directly or that they collect when you use their websites, applications, or other services. For example, Kia customers who have financed or leased a Kia vehicle through Kia Finance America will be subject to Kia Finance America’s own privacy policy (and terms of use) with respect to the information collected via Kia Finance America’s websites, applications, and other services.
2. What Information Do We Collect and How Do We Use It?
In the course of our business, we collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household (“Personal Information”). Although our processing of Personal Information varies based upon our relationship and interactions with you and depends on what Services you have used, the table below identifies, generally, the categories of Personal Information we may have collected from you in the last twelve (12) months, which we may have also shared with or sold or otherwise disclosed to third parties for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We also would note that we collect different information about our employees than we do about vehicle owners and other non-employees, and the types of third parties that we disclose such information with greatly varies. While we may need to disclose employee social security numbers with benefits providers, for instance, we do not collect or disclose social security numbers of vehicle purchasers, unless you have been specifically notified that we need to collect and disclose that information.
The categories below are those identified in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) (Civil Code Section 1798.100, et seq.) (collectively “California Law”).

The below sections describe how we collect information from different types of consumers that we interact with, our purposes for collection and how we may disclose and use the information. As described below, data collection and usage greatly varies depending on how you may choose to interact with us and use our products and services.
(a) Kia Site Visitors
Information Collected Directly From You. If you visit our Site, we and our third-party service providers may collect information that you provide to us when you use our Site. The information that we collect and how we process it depends on how you use the Site. We may collect information when you browse through the Site, register or create an account, make an information request, participate in promotional activities such as surveys, or when you otherwise interact with us and provide your information via our Site.
Information We Collect From Other Sources. We and our third-party service providers such as analytics partners, advertising networks and social networks may use technologies that automatically (or passively) collect certain information when a user engages online with the Services (“Usage Information”). Some Usage Information may be considered Personal Information, such as if and when it is linked to any information that reasonably identifies you. This Usage Information may be stored or accessed using a variety of technologies that may be downloaded to your personal computer, browser, laptop, tablet, mobile phone or other device (a “Device”) whenever you visit or interact with our Services. Usage Information may include, but is not limited to, the following information:
- Device functionality (including browser, operating system, hardware, mobile network information);
- The type of Device used to access the Services;
- The content viewed immediately before and after a Device accesses the Services;
- The online service, if any, that referred the Device to our Services;
- The areas of our Services that the Device visits and the user’s activities there, including remembering the user and his/her preferences;
- The time and duration of the Device’s engagement with the Services;
- The user’s IP address, UDID and other unique identifiers (“Device Identifier”). A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to a Device used to access the Services, and our computers identify the Device by its Device Identifier;
- How often the Device visits the online Services; and
- Device location (as discussed more fully below).
Although Usage Information may not identify you or be associated with you, if we associate Usage Information with Personal Information about you, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.
Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies. As a user navigates through and interacts with our Site, we and third parties such as analytics partners, advertising networks and social networks may use automatic data collection technology to collect certain Usage Information, which may include, without limitation, the following technologies and information:
- Cookies. A cookie is a data file placed on a Device when a user accesses the Services.
o Session cookies: Session cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased once you exit your web browser window or otherwise turn off your computer. Session cookies are used, for example, to improve navigation on our Sites, to block visitors from providing information where inappropriate (e.g., the website may remember previous entries of age that are outside the permitted parameters and block subsequent changes) and to collect aggregated statistical information.
o Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (e.g., Login ID), helping to determine what areas of the website visitors find most valuable, and customizing the website based on your preferences on an ongoing basis.
- Pixel Tags. Small graphic images or other web programming code called “pixel tags” (also known as “web beacons,” “tracking beacons,” “1x1 GIFs,” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web and mobile pages and messages. Pixel tags may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web or mobile page or e-mail can act as a pixel tag. Pixel tags or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count users of the Services, to learn how users interact with the Services, to let us know whether you viewed our emails or other electronic communications, and to learn whether our ads are effective.
- Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is code that helps us collect information about a user’s interactions with the Services, such as the links clicked by a user.
- Browser Fingerprinting. Collection and analysis of information from a Device, such as, without limitation, operating system, plug-ins, system fonts and other data, for purposes of identification.
- Recognition Technologies. Technologies, including application of statistical probability to data sets, which attempt to recognize or make assumptions about users and devices (e.g., that a user of multiple devices is the same individual).
- Precise Location Information. Our mobile applications and websites may collect precise information about the location of a Device after the user permits us to obtain such information via GPS, Wi-Fi signals, or cell tower signals. To opt out of the collection of location information from your Device, you can adjust the permissions on your Device or uninstall our mobile applications. We collect precise location information to provide you with information that you request, such as the location of a nearby dealer. We may also use and share precise location for any of the purposes described in the “How Do We Use the Information?” and “Why We May Disclose Information With Third Parties.” sections of this Privacy Policy. We will not, however, disclose your precise location information with unaffiliated third parties for their own use without your consent.
How Do We Use The Information? We may use the information we collect in order to:
- Provide you with information or services that you have requested or agreed to receive such as requests for product information, new vehicle information alerts, and brochures;
- Process transactions;
- Send you special offers or promotional materials on behalf of us or third parties;
- Enable you to participate in features of the Services, such as sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions;

The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your Personal Information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States. By using the Services or providing us with any information, you consent to this transfer, processing and storage of your information in the United States.
8. What About Information on Children and Minors?
Our Site is not intended for children under thirteen (13) years of age or minors under sixteen (16) years of age. No one under age sixteen (16) may provide any identifying Personal Information to or on the Site. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children or minors younger than sixteen (16) years of age, nor do we knowingly sell or share the Personal Information of children or minors younger than sixteen (16) years of age. If you are under sixteen (16) years of age, do not use or provide any information on this Site or through any of its features, register on the Site, use any of the interactive features of the Site, or provide any information about yourself to us. We will delete any Personal Information collected that we later determine to be from a user younger than the age of sixteen (16). If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of sixteen (16) and believe your child has disclosed Personal Information to us, please call our Kia Customer Care Center at 1-800-333-4542.
9. What About Security?
We incorporate commercially reasonable security procedures and practices to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that we cannot ensure the security of any information that we collect, and through your use of our Services, you provide us with your information at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.
11. Data Retention
Kia is committed to only retaining Personal Information for the period of time in which retention is necessary to fulfill a legitimate business purpose and deleting the information thereafter. In certain instances, this may potentially include retaining Personal Information in perpetuity provided we have a legitimate business purpose for doing so. Once we determine there is no longer a legitimate business purpose for retaining the Personal Information, we will delete such information, as determined in our sole discretion and as permitted by law.
The criteria used to determine our retention period(s) includes:
- The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the Services to you;
- The legitimate business purposes for which we collect and process your Personal Information as described in Section 2 above and throughout this Privacy Policy; and
- Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject that requires us to keep records before we can delete them.
12. What About Changes to the Privacy Policy?
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the updated Privacy Policy, or such later date as may be specified in the updated Privacy Policy. Under certain circumstances (for example, in connection with certain material changes), we may also elect to notify you of changes or updates to our Privacy Policy, such as posting a notice on the home page of our website or via a link or tab on the mobile applications. Therefore, you should review this Privacy Policy from time to time, and before using any of our Services. You are responsible for ensuring we have a deliverable email address for you, and for periodically monitoring and reviewing any updates to this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Site after such amendments will be deemed your acknowledgement of these changes to the Privacy Policy.
13. Your Information Choices
You may choose to share your Personal Information with us. However, your participation in using our Site and providing Personal Information is voluntary. You can unsubscribe from and opt out of certain communications and access, or update and delete your contact information, by contacting us at the phone number or address specified below. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia consumers have additional rights that allow them to learn about what Personal Information a business has collected, shared, sold, and disclosed about them, opportunities to opt out of such sales or sharing, opportunities to request deletion or correction of their Personal Information, and protection from discrimination for exercising their rights. These rights are more thoroughly discussed below in Section 14 (“Your California Privacy Rights”) and Section 15 (“Additional State Privacy Rights”).
(a) Accessing and Updating Your Information
If you register for a KOP Account on Owners.Kia.com, you can access and update certain information we have relating to your online account by signing into your account and going to the “Account” section of the website. You may also update or delete your contact information by calling (800) 333-4KIA (4542) or by writing us directly at: Kia America, Inc., Kia Customer Care Center, P.O. Box 52410, Irvine, CA 92619-2410.
(b) Unsubscribe or Opt Out
You have the ability to opt out from receiving commercial email, calls, texts, or mail from Kia about our products and services (which is separate and apart from certain states that give the right to opt out of the sale of Personal Information, as more thoroughly described in Sections 14 and 15, and your ability to opt out from advertising and analytics technologies, as discussed in Section 3). If you have a KOP Account, you can access and update communication preferences by signing in and going to the “Account” section of the website. However, we may continue to send communications about active recalls and important announcements regarding your vehicle or account, even if you change your communication preferences.
You may opt out of emails at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism within the email. The unsubscribe mechanism allows you to manage your subscription preferences for email alerts and special offers. Notwithstanding the above, this mechanism does not automatically opt you out of receiving non-commercial emails, such as registration confirmation, vehicle updates, and responses to direct requests.
You also may call or write to us directly if you wish to opt out or request that we cease sending you commercial or other information via call, text, mail, or email. Such requests can be made by calling us at (800) 333-4KIA (4542) or by writing us directly at: Kia America, Inc., Kia Customer Care Center, P.O. Box 52410, Irvine, CA 92619-2410.
At the time information is collected from you, other choices you have about how the information may be used may be explained.
If you have opted out of receiving future emails or other promotional materials from us, we will implement your opt-out request within a commercially reasonable time.
14. Your California Privacy Rights
California Law provides eligible California residents with specific rights with respect to our collection, retention, and use of Personal Information. This California Privacy Rights section supplements this Privacy Policy and applies solely to eligible residents of California as of January 1, 2023. Any terms not defined in this section have the same meaning as defined in California Law.
(a) Right to Know About/Access Personal Information Collected, Disclosed, Sold, or Shared
You have the right to request that we provide certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information. Specifically, you have the right to request disclosure of the categories of Personal Information and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you. Upon the submission of a verifiable consumer request (see “Exercising Your California Privacy Rights” below), we will disclose to you:
(i) the categories of Personal Information we collected about you;
(ii) the categories of sources from which Personal Information was collected;
(iii) the business or commercial purpose for collecting Personal Information;
(iv) the business or commercial purpose for disclosing, selling or sharing Personal Information; and
(v) the categories of third parties with whom we sold, shared, or disclosed Personal Information for a business purpose.
We will also provide the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you, subject to certain exceptions under applicable law, if you request access to such information.
If you have visited our websites, we may have collected information about you and the Device you used to engage with our websites, such as an IP address, device type, operating system, time of visit, and other similar information, as discussed above. Such information may not be stored with other Personal Information that identifies you (such as your name, postal address, email address, etc.), and we therefore may not be able to reasonably associate this device-level information with you. Thus, we may not be able to provide you with specific information, or delete or correct specific information that we have collected that cannot be reasonably associated with you. You may exercise your privacy rights for device-level data by engaging with the consent management platform displayed when you enter our websites, or by clicking on the “Cookies Management” link on our websites, if applicable. You may also exercise rights related to advertising and analytics as discussed in Section 3.
(b) Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information
You also have the right to request that we delete Personal Information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will conduct a reasonable search of our records in order to locate any Personal Information we have collected from you that is eligible for deletion, and delete such Personal Information. To the extent we have disclosed any Personal Information collected about you with service providers or contractors that is eligible for deletion, we will direct those service providers or contractors to delete that Personal Information as well. For the sake of clarity, however, Kia may not be able to comply entirely with your request to delete all of your Personal Information as set forth under California Law. For example, if you purchased, leased, or serviced a Kia vehicle at a Partner’s dealership, we may need to keep records related to these types of transactions in order to, for instance, fulfill the terms of an applicable warranty or contact you about a product recall or other safety issue. Specifically, we are not required to delete any Personal Information we have collected about you that is necessary for us and our service provider(s) to:
(i) Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between Kia and you.
(ii) Help ensure security and integrity to the extent the use of the consumer’s Personal Information is reasonably necessary and proportionate for those purposes, including to detect security incidents that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality of stored or transmitted Personal Information; protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity and help prosecute those responsible for that activity; or ensure the life and physical safety of natural persons.
(iii) Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
(iv) Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
(v) Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.
(vi) Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if you have provided informed consent.
(vii) Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us.
(viii) Comply with a legal obligation, such as retaining records for a period of time as set out in local, state, or federal laws.
(ix) Otherwise use your Personal Information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided your information.
Following a deletion request, any Personal Information about you that was not deleted from our systems due to the above exception(s) will only be used for the purposes provided for by the applicable exceptions. Thus, all Personal Information about you that is not subject to a deletion exception will either be (1) permanently deleted on our existing systems (with the exception of archived or back-up systems maintained for emergency disaster recovery and business continuity purposes); (2) de-identified; or (3) aggregated so as to not be personal to you.
(c) Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information
You have the right to request that we correct any of your Personal Information that we maintain about you, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the processing of your Personal Information.
(d) Right to Opt Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
If Kia sells or shares Personal Information about you to third parties, you may have the right to opt out and request that Kia not sell or share your Personal Information. To exercise the right to opt out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following Internet Web page link:
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize Personal Information sales. However, if at a later time, you wish to allow us to share or sell your Personal Information to third parties, you must opt in to such sharing or sales, and may do so by calling 800-333-4KIA (4542). If a transaction requires the sharing, sale or transmission of your Personal Information in order to complete the transaction, we will notify you and provide instructions on how you can opt in.
(e) Right to Limit the Use or Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
Kia may use or disclose your Sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those provided under California Law. In such instances, you have the right, subject to certain exceptions, to limit how Kia uses and discloses your Sensitive Personal Information. To exercise the right to limit, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following Internet Web page link:
Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information
Once you make a limit request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize the use or disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those for which you exercised your right to limit. However, if at a later time, you wish to allow us to use or disclose your Sensitive Personal Information, you must opt in to such use or disclosure, and may do so by calling 800-333-4KIA (4542). If a transaction requires the use or disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information in order to complete the transaction, we will notify you and provide instructions on how you can reauthorize such use or disclosure.
(f) Right to Appeal
You have the right to appeal any decision or indecision related to the exercise of any right you are granted under California Law.
(g) Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. Unless permitted by applicable law, we will not:
(i) Deny you goods or services.
(ii) Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
(iii) Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
(iv) Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
(h) Exercising Your California Privacy Rights
You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your California Law rights. To exercise the California Law rights described above, please submit a consumer request to us by either:
(i) Visiting our online request portal
(ii) Calling us at (800) 333-4KIA (4542)
To exercise your right to know, delete or correct your Personal Information as described above, we need to verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. These requests may be made only by you, your parent or guardian (if you are under 18 years of age), a person to whom you have given power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465, or an authorized agent that is registered with the California Secretary of State. If a parent or guardian is submitting a request on behalf of a minor, the parent or guardian must submit proof that they are the parent or guardian of the subject consumer, and must verify the consumer’s identity. A downloadable Letter of Parent or Guardian form is available in the online request portal, and may be uploaded for submission once completed. If someone with power of attorney is making a request on behalf of a consumer, they must verify the individual consumer’s identity and submit documentation establishing the power of attorney, such as by uploading it onto the online request portal. If an authorized agent is submitting a request on behalf of a consumer, they must verify the individual consumer’s identity, provide written permission from the consumer to submit the request on the consumer's behalf, and submit documentation establishing registration with the Secretary of State. Such documentation may be uploaded onto the online request portal. If Kia cannot verify that the requestor is authorized by the consumer to act on such consumer’s behalf, Kia is not obligated to provide information or respond to the request. If you have any questions about making a request on behalf of another consumer, please call us at 800-333-4KIA (4542).
Your verifiable consumer request to know/access, delete, or correct must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or that you are an authorized representative of such person. We will not 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. While we may ask for Personal Information to verify the requestor or consumer’s identity when making a request, we will only use that Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. Additionally, you may only make a verifiable consumer request for access twice within a 12-month period.
(i) Notice of Financial Incentive
We may offer you various incentives, including special offers, discounts, rewards and coupons pursuant to certain rewards and loyalty programs (each, a “Loyalty Program”), throughout the year for providing us with your Personal Information. Categories of Personal Information that may be collected pursuant to a Loyalty Program, include, but are not limited to: identifiers such as name, postal address, email address and telephone number; categories of Personal Information described in the California Customer Records statute; and commercial information.
We do not assign a monetary value to the data we collect, but based on a good-faith estimate, we believe the value received from your Personal Information is reasonably equal to the value of the benefit we offer you pursuant to a Loyalty Program. This estimate is not specific to any particular individual who participates in a Loyalty Program (a “Member”) and may vary by Member. We have calculated such value by taking into consideration, without limitation, relevant factors related to the estimated value of such information to us, as set forth under California Law.
If eligible, you may opt in to a Loyalty Program by following the instructions set forth in a Loyalty Program’s terms and conditions and, if applicable, by creating a member account on the Loyalty Program’s website. Material terms of participating in a Loyalty Program, including all terms and conditions concerning the collection, use and retention of Members’ Personal Information, the required arbitration of any disputes Members have, and the waiver of Members’ ability to bring claims in class action format, are set forth in the applicable terms and conditions, this Privacy Policy, and/or our Terms of Service, and should be carefully reviewed prior to participation in a Loyalty Program.
You have the right to cancel your membership and participation in a Loyalty Program at any time. To opt out of a Loyalty Program, including the receipt of marketing emails provided pursuant to your status as a Member of a Loyalty Program, please call our Kia Customer Care Center at 1-800-333-4542.
(j) Response Timing and Format
With the exception of opt-out and limitation requests, which will be honored within fifteen (15) business days of receipt, we will make our best effort to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Within ten (10) days of receiving the request, we will confirm receipt and provide information about our verification and processing of the request. Kia will maintain records of consumer requests made pursuant to the CCPA as well as our response to said requests for a period of at least twenty-four (24) months.
If you have an account with us, we may require you to take delivery of our written response through that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response electronically, though you may alternatively choose to receive delivery by mail. The response will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. Requests for the specific pieces of information that we have collected about you will be sent in a portable, readily useable format that you may transmit 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.
(k) Your Rights Under “Shine the Light”
In addition to your rights under California Law, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request information regarding our disclosure, if any, of their Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If this applies, you may obtain the categories of Personal Information disclosed and the names and addresses of all third parties that received Personal Information for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2024 will receive information about 2023 sharing activities). To make such a request, please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. You may make this request in writing to the Kia Customer Care Center: P.O. Box 52410, Irvine, CA 92619-2410.
15. Additional State Privacy Rights
For eligible residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Virginia, you also have rights with respect to the Personal Information, also known as personal data, that we collect about you. This Additional State Privacy Rights section supplements this Privacy Policy and applies solely to eligible residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Virginia. Any terms not defined in this section have the same meaning as defined under applicable Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Virginia privacy law, including the Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act, Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Utah Consumer Privacy Act, and Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act. Subject to certain exceptions, if you are an eligible resident of one of these states, you have certain privacy rights which may include, depending on your state of residency:
- Right to Know/Access. You have the right to confirm whether Kia processes your Personal Information and access such Personal Information. You also have the right to obtain your Personal Information in a portable, and to the extent reasonably feasible, readily usable format that you can transmit without hinderance. In addition, Oregon residents have the right to receive a list of specific third parties to which Kia has disclosed any Personal Information.
- Right to Delete. You have the right to request that Kia delete the Personal Information you have provided to us or that Kia has otherwise obtained about you.
- Right to Correct. You have the right to request that Kia correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the processing of your Personal Information.

- Right to Appeal. You have the right to appeal Kia’s decision with regard to your request to exercise any rights described herein.
You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Virginia privacy law rights. To exercise the rights described in this Section 15, including your opt-out rights, please submit a consumer request to us by either:
