Thank you for your trust in SoCal Technologies and for taking the time to read our Privacy Statement. SoCal Technologies is a global provider of differentiated professional services and technologies across the asset and program lifecycle within the Government Solutions and Energy sectors with operations in 40 countries. This Privacy Statement is provided to let you know how we protect the privacy of personal information provided to us in connection with your use of this website.
Purpose of This Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement explains what KBR does with personal information provided to us through this Site, such as your name, mailing address or email address. It explains in general terms how we collect, use, share, store and safeguard that information, as well as our reasons for collecting it through this website. It also contains information on how to contact us to exercise rights that you have in relation to your personal data (as defined by your country’s laws), as well as how to contact us if you have a question or concern.
Collection of Your Information
Much of our website does not require any form of registration or identification. However, some functions of our website may require registration, such as those that necessarily require us to identify you in order to answer a question that you may ask. It is up to you to choose whether you want to register for any programs through our site which may be available to the general public (such as investor relations webcasts). It may not be possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the site that are restricted to certain registered users. If you register for a SoCal Technologies program or service, or otherwise provide personal information to us through this website, SoCal Technologies limits the collection of your personal information to that which is appropriate and proportionate for the intended use. This may include, for example, your name, contact details, and other personal information relevant to the purpose for which you are visiting our website. We also offer you the option to discontinue your consent (“opting out” or “unsubscribing”) if you later decide that you no longer want to participate in the program or service.
Collection of Anonymous Computer Information /“Cookies”
Like virtually all websites, this website collects anonymous information known as “cookies” if your computer is set to allow that type of collection. “Cookies” are small pieces of data sent from a website and stored on a website user’s web browser while a user is browsing a website. (You can turn off the ability to collect some of this information on most computers, and can learn more about how to do so, as well as the types of ‘cookies’ that we collect, by clicking on our Cookies Notice.) As further explained in our Cookies Notice, the use of cookies does not harm your computer or directly identify individuals. Rather, their use allows us to evaluate how our website performs and to monitor traffic to the site. (For those who are interested in the details, some of the typical computer techniques we may use are “cookies”, “internet tags” which are also called “action tags”, “single-pixel GIFs”, clear GIFs, “invisible GIFs, and “1-by-1 GIFs). If you would like more information about web tags and cookies associated with on-line advertising or how to opt-out of third-party collection of information, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative website, an independent website not sponsored by or affiliated with SoCal Technologies.
Sharing Your Information with Third-Parties
SoCal Technologies does not sell or share your personal information with unaffiliated third-parties, such as marketers, for their own separate use. When you provide personal information to us through our website, it may be accessible to some of our business partners, such as companies we retain to fulfil requests for information, or provide assistance to us on specific programs or projects. We require third-party business partners to protect personal information in accordance with applicable laws and in a way that is consistent with SoCal Technologies’ standards. We also obtain written assurances from them that they will not use your personal information for any separate use or allow other third parties that they may retain to do so.
There may also be instances where we may be required to share your information with third-parties who are not our business partners, such as in connection with fulfilling our legal or compliance obligations. Please note that most entities receiving personally identifiable information under these conditions (e.g., courts, the police, other law enforcement agencies) have legal obligations under the privacy and security laws to protect your information.
Personal Information collected from you may also be transferred to a third party in the event that a part of your business (or this website) is sold, assigned or transferred. If so, we would require the buyer, assignee or transferee to treat your information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
Sharing Your Information with Other SoCal Technologies Companies
The information that you provide to us may sometimes be shared with other SoCal Technologies companies (subsidiaries and affiliates within the SoCal Technologies global group.) If so, and regardless of the SoCal Technologies company or its location, we require that they uphold a similar level of protection for your data as that described in this Privacy Statement.
Security and Protection of Your Information
We use appropriate technical, administrative and physical safeguards to protect data that pertains to you from loss, misuse, alteration, destruction or unauthorized access. We update these safeguards to address new threats and changes in the legal requirements. At the same time, you should recognize that no organization can guarantee the absolute security of personal information.
Transfer of Your Information
SoCal Technologies is a global company. As such, your personal data may be transferred outside of the country where you reside. If you live outside of the U.S., you should know that the data privacy laws vary from one country to another, and may not provide the same level of protection as those in your home country.
